BSOD When playing DirectX games

[ryfoster]

Whenever I play a game that runs directx and alt-tab or close the game and go into the same or another dx game I always get a BSOD as soon as I get I begin playing the game after leaving the menu screen. This issue has been going on for some time. I have tried 3 different video cards, different ram including changing timings and voltages, changed motherboards. The issue is not hardware related as suggested by ASUS. attached is the minidump file. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

It sounds like you need run one or more of the following:

I have reinstalled my windows 7 x64 3 times since upgrading to windows 7. The issue is not located in the install of the OS

Try updating your video card drivers. Go to the manufacturer's site, and download the latest drivers for your card.

 

[ryfoster]

have updated the drivers with every edition released since december when the system was built

The only other thing I can suggest is a memory test. Download a copy of Memtest86 and burn the ISO to a CD using Iso Recorder. Boot from the CD, and run at least 5 passes.

running memtest now, 1st pass no issues and i dont expect to get one. Also installed all updates for my 7x64 earlier and no luck. any new suggestions? posted the dump file in the initial post if anyone wants to look at the issues in that

Hello !!

I looked at your Dump file it is pointing to ahcix64.sys so i guess it might the Chipset drivers that is messing up. Check for latest chipset drivers and for your RAID.
