BSOD while gaming

[wroof]

I keep getting a BSOD while playing a game. I've reinstalled Windows, and I still receive the same error message, and all of my drivers seem to be out of date. Here's the information:

The interesting thing is the Windows Experience Index rates my processor at a 3.7 where it was previously a 7.9. I have an AMD X4 965...whether its related or not I'm not sure. Help please?

Its a sign of defective hardware

Run Prime 95 to test your CPU. Carefully the instructions in this tutorial: CPU - Stress Test with Prime95. Run 3 separate tests, one on each of the settings (Blend, Small FFTs, Large FFTs). Post back with your results.

Please follow these instructions

Uploaded the zip with the reports in it. Working on the stress test.

yowanvista, I started to run those tests with Prime95 using SpeedFan to keep watch on my temperatures. Within 10 seconds of each test my CPU temp climbed to 55 degrees. I stopped the tests as I didn't want to cause any damage by things getting to hot. Should I run the tests a little longer to see if I get errors, or could it be that my computer is getting to hot?

55C is fine, anything above 85C would be dangerous

Well, in that case, I'm still testing the Small FFT and stabilized at 63...no errors yet. 6 hours per test? If my system is stable, is it safe to leave it unwatched for some time?

Yes, just monitor the temps with a program such as SpeedFan - Access temperature sensor in your computer
