BSOD when playing Dota 2

[borntowheep]

I was playing dota 2 while talking with my friend on skype. Nothing out of the ordinary as I had done that several times before. I launched the game using Razer Game Booster. Yesterday I also used ccleaner to clean registries, and I also uninstalled ~60 GB of games and programs, but didn't touch any files relating to steam(the program that hosts dota 2) or dota 2

Also I couldn't get a dxdiag dump via the SF diagnostic tool because of some error.

Ok had a look through your files a couple of things of note:

First please uninstall alchohol 120% this program uses a driver that is known to cause BSODs. Once it is uninstalled please download and run this tool:

DuplexSecure - Downloads

next I notice that you have both McAfee and AVG installed, having multiple AV programs can cause some serious problems uninstall one or the other using their respective uninstall tools:

AVG Removal tool

McAfee removal Tool

Last I notice your Bios is rather old I would check the computer s manufacturers website for updates if there are any.

Allright, thanks!
I'll remove McAfee and uninstall Alcohol 120%, hope this fixes it

Post back and let us know how things go.

Uninstalled the programs and tried running the same game again and it worked without problems! Hope it stays this way!

Thanks again
