BSOD(In Game Applications)

[Thewizard929]

OS: Windows 7 Home Premium x64
Home Built Computer
RAM:8 gigs supertalent
VCARD:gtx 460
CPU: Quad 2.5 Intel
I built this computer four months ago as a gaming computer. For the first two months I never had problems with blue screens, after a while and reformatting my computer to clean it a bit, my computer started to crash. Mainly IRQL_NOT_LESS_GREATER. These BSOD come periodically, and come only when using gaming applications such as World of Warcraft and other single player games.
Other things of note would be I am sharing network connection with two other computers on a belkin router, the problem started to occur when I installed this router.
I've tried Memtest for almost 8 hours and not one error. I've tried reinstalling and checking drivers, they seem up to date. I'm thinking its some other hardware problems such as my videocard, or possibly the router.

I just reformatted a few hours ago, could it really be Nvidia drivers? Could it be a defective video card or a problem with my router?

I just reformatted a few hours ago, could it really be ATI drivers?

Give it a try.

Could it be a defective video card or a problem with my router?

If it was defective video card - would said "probably caused by: hardware"

Could you give me your model number and name of your router?

 

[Thewizard929]

Router BELKIN F5D7234NV4-H (1xWAN 4xLAN Fast Ethernet Ethernet IEEE 802 11b IEEE 802 11g)

If the driver updating doesn't work, do I have any other options?

 

[Thewizard929]

Ok that link for the Atheros Drivers didn't work correctly when I got to the page. I have the cd, do you know by anychance what the latest version is?

 

[DeanP]

If Driver updating won't work, enable Driver Verifier:

[Thewizard929]

Alright, I have installed the newest versions of Atheros and did the safemode cleansweep of nvidia drivers, then went into normal mode and reinstalled from your link. If I have no problems within three days then it was a sucess, I'll report back if any errors between that time. Thank you.

 

[Thewizard929]

Failed, my system blue screened again. Here it is.....

Hi

The Atheros driver hasn't changed. That sometimes happens.

Manually change the drivers is the way I do them.

Driver Install - Manual method

Download the driver and extract it to a folder
Open the Device Manager
Right click the relevant device.
Choose Update Driver Software.
Select Browse My Computer For Driver Software.
Select Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer.
Select Have disk...
Select Browse..
Navigate to the extracted folder and double click on the .inf file
Hit OK, then Next, and it will then install.

No SSD. Ok I'll try that, so I should download these drivers and install them manually?? How do I know I'm not missing any other drivers too? I have the disk, I bought this motherboard 3 months ago and the videocard around the same time. Think the disk are up to date?

 

[fimble]

Ignore the me me me comment. Download AR813x-AR815x v1.0.0.46 WHQL.rar That ones dated November 2010 (the top of the two.)

 

[Thewizard929]

It says I need something to open it. I think I know what you want me to do, but I don't know exactly how it's done. Should I do this with each single one of my drivers? Or just the Audio and Atheros drivers? By the way could it be my mouse or keyboard or maybe my headset that plug into USB? Should I turn USB Legacy off?

 

[Thewizard929]

I forgot about Winrar Ok so what is your theory on why it said it was hardware?? What could it be?

 

[DeanP]

Open with Device Manager.

Right click on driver you want to update and click update driver software. Then click on manually find software (something like that) and click on the Atheros driver info (.inf). It will update the driver you download.

Sent from my iPad

 

[fimble]

Do the two manually.

Expand all the legs in device manager. you can second guess some you don't need to look at. Right click one you think, then properties, driver, driver details. You'll see it listed if you got it right.
Close window. Right click device again then select Update driver software,,,,
Then as above.
Do a system restore first just in case!!

 

[Thewizard929]

Right I got that part, but the BSOD could of came from outdated Ethernet Drivers?

 

[fimble]

I said SSD 'cos your system spec says HDD is 80Gb !!!

 

[Thewizard929]

It is 80g, I've got 22gigs of space left, does that pose a problem? Still doesn't quite answer my questions. What do you think is causing this problem if not the two drivers you mentioned?

 

[fimble]

It's a case of elimination. Outdated or pre Windows 7 drivers can cause problems. So you replace them with drivers, wherever possible, that were "born" after the 13th July 2009.
You start with drivers because they are relatively easy. And FREE!!

Possibly memory.

I'd call 80Gb tight, but not impossible.
And I won't suggest going out and buying one. I've had times when I only had what I had.
It's amazing what you can do!!
But that might be what its complaining about.
