I no matter what game I play it will randomly crash the computer some games take longer to crash than others. I since it looked like a graphics card crash I decided to buy a new one to see if that would fix it. Other than a rise in fps I still get crashes. Also yes I have uninstalled old drivers and installed new ones for my hardware. I attached two zip files each with different BOSD's I have gotten.

- x86 (32-bit) or x64 ?
x64
- the original installed OS on the system?
I don't understand the question
- an OEM or full retail version?
OEM
- What is the age of system (hardware)?
It's been upgraded a few times but I'd say 3 years old
- What is the age of OS installation (have you re-installed the OS?)

flapjackdan,
You can install a 32 bit operating system on a computer with a 64 bit processor.
My laptop has a 64 bit architecture and came with a 32 bit operating system. Since then, I've installed a 64 bit operating system.

does that answer the one question?

Now here's a way that will show you your install date:
# **********************INSTRUCTIONS**************************
# STEP 1 ** RUN POWERSHELL AS ADMINISTRATOR ******************
# ************************************************************
#
# WIN key | type POWERSHELL | do NOT hit ENTER |
# in the PROGRAMS list, right-click on WINDOWS POWERSHELL |
# choose "Run as administrator" |
# Click on the YES button (if such appears)
#
# WIN key = key with Microsoft log on top
#
# for the guru:
# WIN | type POWERSHELL | CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER key combo | ALT+Y keycombo
# ************************************************************
# STEP 2 ** COPY AND PASTE ***********************************
# ************************************************************
#
# COPY the script using CTRL+C,
# COPY every line of script down thru both EXIT statements
#
# PASTE into Powershell
#----Right-Click at the PowerShell Prompt
#----(Ctrl+V does not work)
#
# Start copying with first script line without a # at start of the line
# Note: Actually, you can paste the entire file if you rather
#-------Lines starting with a # are ignored by PowerShell
# ************************************************************
# STEP 3 ** SCRIPT OUTPUT & SCRIPT PURPOSE *******************
# ************************************************************
# --The script output and purpose is given at the very front of the script
#
# --The script output and purpose is given at the very front of the script
#
# ************************************************************
# ***************** NOTE - POWERSHELL VERSION*****************
# if you receive this error msg:
#--The system can not find the path specified
# you may need to update your PowerShell
# you must be using Powershell 2.0 or later.
#
# To determine your Powershell version:
#---Run PowerShell
#---enter $host.version
#---you should see at least:
# Major Minor Build Revision
# ----- ----- ----- --------
# 2......0......-1.....-1
#
# If you do not see the above, update your Vista/Win 7.
# ************************************************************
# *************** NOTE - EXECUTION POLICY*********************
# If you haven't set the execution policy, you may need to:
#---Run PowerShell
#---enter SET-EXECUTIONPOLICY -EXECUTIONPOLICY REMOTESIGNED
# ************************************************************

Now run this script which will place computerinfo.txt on your desktop. Attach that file to your next post. You will notice that the file gives you your install date and much more.

PHP: 
# ***********************************************************************
# Puts COMPUTERINFO.TXT on your desktop
# COMPUTERINFO.TXT contains info about your bios and your computer system

FlapJackDan,
The file did show a couple of peculiarities.

Would you please download, install and run SPECCY.

Link to SPECCY in my signature.

When you run Speccy then:
from the top menubar:
FILE | SAVE SNAPSHOT | SAVE button

If you accepted the defaults, then in your Documents folder is a file with an extension of .SPECCY.

Zip up that file and attach to your next post.

The SPECCY file does NOT contain your product key.
You may have noticed that SPECCY shows your 25 character Product Key which belongs to you and only you. SPECCY does not include that key in the .SPECCY file.

thanks,
karl

I don't see how a windows install date actually answers any of my questions which is what is causing me BOSD's and how to fix it. Anyway here's the speccy.

that is info that sometimes helps the bsod chaps to understand your system. They have an amazing amount of experience and knowledge. I do not question them; I simply do as requested.

I will look at the file here in a couple of hours as I'm swamped presently.

Daniel,
I looked at your .speccy file. I'm going to let the BSOD experts make the recommendations to you.

One of the BSODs you had was a 124 error, and the cause is pointing to AuthenticAMD, so have a read through this thread as there's a few good pointers to follow to try and combat it http://www.sevenforums.com/crash-lockup-debug-how/35349-stop-0x124-what-means-what-try.html.

What are your CPU and GPU temperatures like when playing games?

Another one is a 101 error, which is the CLOCK_WATCHOUT_TIMER, which is usually to do with a deadlock occuring on your system (a non-executing thread has a lock on a resource that an executing thread is trying to access, a deadlock occurs and 61 clock-ticks later the CPU gives up and a BSOD is thrown up).

Worst case scenario is one of your CPU cores may not be functioning correctly, and the CPU is on its way out unfortunately.

Can try running Driver Verifier to detect any deadlocks and hopefully find a culprit:

-Open Start and type verifier.exe and open it
-Select Create Custom Settings (for code developers) and click Next
-Select individual settings from a full list
-Select Deadlock Detection and click Next
-Select driver names from a list and click Next
-Click the "Provider" heading, and select all drivers that are not provided by Microsoft
-Click Finish
-Reboot

Reboot the system and wait for it to crash to the Blue Screen. Continue to use your system as you have been doing, and if you know what causes the crash, do that repeatedly. The objective here is to get the system to crash because Driver Verifier is stressing the drivers out.

Reboot into Windows (after the crash) and turn off Driver Verifier by going back in and selecting "Delete existing settings" on the first page, then locate and zip up the memory dump file and upload it with your next post.
