BSOD w sounddriver and bovada poker

[tim34]

Hello, I am new here, sorry for the lack of info in the title. BSODs are one thing I am inexperienced at, but would love to get better at fixing. I included a lot of dmp files, but I'm pretty sure almost all of them are some hd sound driver or something. Recently though I have been getting a new BSOD while playing online poker(i think - i missed the msg) which brought me here.

Any help is much appreciated, thanks!

It seems to be an old branded desktop. Let us know the wattage of its PSU. That will be a critical information here.

Is the computer hot? Report us the heat of the computer after a couple of hours of your normal usage. Upload a screenshot of the summery tab of Speccy. Alternatively, you can publish a Speccy snapshot too: http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/311593-speccy-publish-snapshot-your-system-specs.html .

Uninstall the installed display driver using Display Driver Uninstaller. Then install the CCC 14.4 WHQL only.

When the said driver is applied, stress test the Graphics Card using Furmark.

Video Card - Stress Test with Furmark
​

Take a screenshot of the furmark window before closing it. Upload the screenshot for us. Also let us know if you have experienced any crash/BSOD and/or artifacts during the test.

Also let us know for any further BSOD.

Hello, thanks for the reply! My PSU is a 750 watt corsair(pretty new). My case does seem a little warm - I'm using corsair liquid cooling for cpu(maybe its time for a better case w some airflow ). I attached a speccy snapshot, which is pretty much during normal load. I guess it could be a driver issue, although I have recently done a clean driver install. Also, my pc seems to bsod when playing hd audio, either from a movie or some online videos will trigger it. I'm not sure which driver it would be though.

I will let you know after doing the video uninstaller/stress test and further bsods. Also, on a side note, this site is much easier to use in chrome. I couldn't pass the human verification in IE or upload a file.

That means it is extremely hot.

How old the water cooler is? And how long ago it was applied there?

hi, it is the h60 by corsair, it's been almost 4 yrs i guess haha. I've been monitoring it the past 20 mins, and its more like 54 C, still pretty hot though. I'll check it again after I shut it down(it's always running) and it has some time to cool. haha. It's in kind of a tight space.

It's in kind of a tight space.

Open the computer. Clean the inside carefully with compressed air. Clean all the air vents and fan grills. Open the heatsneak cooler too, and apply new thermal paste there.



Let us see another speccy shot after doing it.

If the situation is not revived, you may need to opt for another cooler.
