BSOD when playing BF3 - The computer has rebooted from a bugcheck.

[Sinistercr0c]

Hi all,

New to the forum so hoping I get this right. Basically I have started experiencing BSOD's when playing BF3 as follows:

The computer has rebooted from a bugcheck. The bugcheck was: 0x0000007f (0x0000000000000008, 0x000000008005f031, 0x00000000000006f8, 0xfffff880011acf4d).

I have not changed any hardware, and suspect something around the game being updated has started to cause me problems. I have carried out the capture utility as instructed and am really hoping some of you Gurus can point me in the right direction.

Many thanks

Sinister.

Many thanks.

What operating system are you using? There is a bad memory leak with windows 8 at the minute. Also, what graphics card are you using? If you are using nvidia and just installed the latest driver that was relaxed in the last day or so then try uninstalling your driver with clean sweeper or something like that and rolling back to the last driver you were using before you were getting the crashes.

Hi Colinjbro,

I'm on win7 x64 with the latest nvidia driver (however the BSOD happened on the prior version also). I may uninstall the gfx driver/clean up and re-install from scratch.

thanks for your reply.

I'm still hoping someone can interrogate the DMP fille attached within the zip file and give me something more definitive though.

Cheers.
