Frequent BSOD While on FIFA 13 code 116

[iconxt]

I am getting BSOD's While playing FIFA 13. Doesn't happen on some days but suddenly happens for no apparent reason. What happens is my PC shuts down with a looping sound and restarts on its own. Sometimes when i exit the game the looping sound starts but the PC doesn't shut down or restart so it's quite confusing. I was playing resident Evil 6 along side it and never faced such an issue. Please help.

A stop 0x116 is a display related BSOD. It is saying the display driver is the faulty thing here.

Apply the latest version of nVidia display driver.
You may download it directly, from our forum link http://www.sevenforums.com/graphic-cards/602-latest-nvidia-forceware-video-drivers-windows-7-a.html; or you may opt for the Option 2 of Drivers- Download NVIDIA Drivers for “Automatically find drivers for my NVIDIA products” (it requires java installed).

Check if the Power Supply Unit (PSU) supplying adequate power to the computer or not.

Let us know about the wattage of your PSU.

As you are getting BSODs, you should stop overclocking and run all the hardware components like CPU, GPU and RAM to their default settings. Also set the BIOS to default, too.

It appears from the BIOS date that the PS is old. So dismantle it, clean the inside carefully. Specially clean the air vents and fan grills. When re-seating, apply thermal paste to the CPU.

GPU driver updated.
Recommended Power is 496. I am using corsair TX 650 so no problems there.
Stress test passed, temp reached 84 degree with no artifacts.
BIOS reset done.

It appears from the BIOS date that the PS is old. So dismantle it, clean the inside carefully. Specially clean the air vents and fan grills. When re-seating, apply thermal paste to the CPU. [/code]

Are you talking about the Power supply or processor? How can either of them be 'old' ?

 

[Arc]

That's a typo. I mean PC. The BIOS says the motherboard is old. So the PC also should be old.

BiosReleaseDate = 10/27/2010

It is expected that teh fan grills and air vents are blocked by this time, if not maintained regularly. Also it is expected that the thermal paste is dried. So suggested you those things.

Install Service pack 1 and all other windows updates. Otherwise the system will remain vulnerable to threats.
