Getting BSOD mainly when i play SWTOR but will happen not in game

[jmiles8610]

ok sounds like a plan..on it now!

Great, let's hope it works.

Ok so here is what happened. i tried to do the upgrade but it wouldn't let me do to the version on the disk was older than what i all ready had so i said the heck with it and formatted. Figured it would prob do me one better and i knew it would be quick seeing how i did it about a month or so ago. As of now the only thing that has happened is a game closed itself out. I got a friend with a PSU exactly like mine as i was told that the random restarts that don't toss a code thats been going on could be caused from a faulty PSU. So i am waiting on him to give me that and then gonna install it. Figured thats one less potential problem we don't have to worry about.

O and the PSU is brand new. he ordered it and never used it. so its still int he box. just waiting on him to get it to me.

So if I understand you correctly, you tried a clean install which worked but there's still one game that's crashing. If this is the case, are you still getting BSOD's?

What is the game that continues to crash?

 

[kharistos]

well i dont know if this will help but i crash really often running SW:TOR and i do have a thread up here in this forum as well titled "BSOD mainly related to ntoskrnl.exe". Maybe some of the stuff inside might help you as well.

 

[jmiles8610]

Well since i have did a clean install SW TOR has closed on me but its now not the only one. Lineage 2 has closed also internet explorer will just stop working at random times. I have got 0 BSOD and i have 0 random restarts as of now. I am just getting programs that stop working at random times.

Do you have Download: Microsoft .NET Framework 4 (Web Installer) - Microsoft Download Center - Download Details installed?


Also, some of your crashes have led me to a question: do you use an optimization tool to clean your registry?

 

[jmiles8610]

I removed the game guard from the lineage 2 file. I just down loaded the .net frame which opened up a few more updates that wasn't popping up in thw indows update. And as far as cleaning tools i use auslogics disk defrag and auslogics registry cleaner.

Here is where I stand on registry cleaning and optimization tools in general:

• Many of us on the forums actually do not recommend automated optimization tools for Windows 7. Windows 7 does a much better job of handling its own optimization than its predecessors did. We especially do not recommend registry cleaning as an "optimization" step because automated registry cleaning causes more harm to the registry than it actually repairs.
  
  In the future, if you need help optimizing Windows 7, please post a thread in Performance & Maintenance - Windows 7 Forums or follow the tutorial enclosed in that forum to http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorial...ws-7-a.html?filter[2]=Performance Maintenance.

Third party disk defragmenters are also not recommended; I have seen them cause crashes on systems. There are command line flags in Windows 7 that will accomplish the same effect that third party defragmenters promise. If you'd like, I can provide you with the command line tools.


At this point, I would recommend a clean install and that you not install the auslogics software. Instead, follow gregrocker's steps to set up a clean install for an optimal Windows experience: http://www.sevenforums.com/installation-setup/151566-reinstalling-windows-7-a.html#post1300819, of which the only part I do not agree with is the CCleaner step for the reasons mentioned above and below.

Registry cleaning tools should only be used by someone who knows the intricacies of the registry, and even then, it should be used sparingly and with registry backups made beforehand. CCleaner is less aggressive than most registry cleaners, but I have still seen it render a system inoperable when used to clean the registry.
