Occasional BSOD when playing most games

[HollowIchigo]

Long story short, this doesn't happen ALL the time, nor does it happen with every game. However i have only ever had this happen when playing games. I want to say, the most frequently i have gotten a BSOD is, maybe once a week. Most of the time it goes 2 weeks to a month without a BSOD. However, since this last BSOD got in the way of me playing Watch_Dogs, something has to be done . Any who, i have tried digging into it myself in the past but I'm not very technically versed when it comes to these sort of computer issues, sort of wish i was as this seems to be a regular instance for me -_-. Now, i can assure you it happens with or without the 550 TI in there as well, that is strictly a dedicated PhysX card and even when i haven't had that card in, I still get a BSOD from time to time. Last time i was here, which was a pretty long while ago, it was due to AVG that i was getting a BSOD. I do not have AVG installed, i had switched to ASC and i did not have an issue with it after i got it. As far as any new programs, none that i can think of and this has been going on for probably the better part of 6 months so remembering all the way back then will be near impossible at this point lol.

so TL: DR,
Happens only when I'm playing games,
doesn't happen all of the time,
nor on every game,
and could crash while playing a game, then after i boot back up, as if nothing was wrong and i continue gaming for another 1 week +.

if you need anymore info please just let me know.

For starters I can see that you have this software installed.

[COLOR="Red"]Advanced SystemCare Ultimate[/COLOR]	"c:\program files (x86)\iobit\advanced systemcare ultimate 7\asctray.exe" /auto	Nate-PC\Nate	HKU\S-1-5-21-2186068897-3197056060-4268552884-1000\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run

I recommend you uninstall this software as it is known to cause quite a few issues.

Right, I can see that for some reason CPUZ is getting blamed, I've personally never seen that get blamed before and many of us use it without problems.

*** WARNING: Unable to verify timestamp for cpuz136_x64.sys
*** ERROR: Module load completed but symbols could not be loaded for cpuz136_x64.sys
Probably caused by : [COLOR="red"]cpuz136_x64.sys[/COLOR] ( cpuz136_x64+20ea )

I will suggest an uninstall for the time being.


I'm seeing a lot of Hardware Abstraction Layer routines which look quite a bit suspicious, in fact specifically PCI related routines.

They could be nothing but they could be an indication of something.

Do you have any other dump files?

 

[HollowIchigo]

No, that is the only dump file I have atm. There was a point in time while all this was going on that I didn't have the minidump files setup properly...

I will uninstall Cpuz when I get home and hopefully that helps. It may be upwards of 2 weeks before this happens again unless I try to re-create it which might be quite hard to pull off.

Asc is my a/v atm, if it is absolutely necessary that I uninstall it I can and out mse back on.

As far as the other part you posted, what is the change/alteration going on?? Could it be something cause by asc or by Nvidia when I switch in and out of Nvidia surround?

On my phone at work so my apologies in advance it there are lots of misspellings

 

[Thedoctor44]

ASC doesn't always cause problems but we've had a few cases where it has.

I'm not too sure about the HAL routines, I think we'll leave it for now.

 

[HollowIchigo]

Alright, now that I think about it though, CPU-z shouldn't have been running last night.. I do run hwmonitor though so I can keep track of system temps when playing games. Could it have been hwmonitor instead? Don't mean to second guess you just giving a touch more info.

The other programs I had up as well were,
Asc ram monitor
Mumble
I had the Logitech gaming software UI open to watch battery life on my G930
Corsair link software
Asus gpu tweak monitor for gpu temp etc
Steam
Uplay
Watch_dogs
Fraps
Chrome
Malwarebytes in background
And I'm sure some other things were open in the background as well

I will still uninstall Cpuz when I get home unless you say otherwise

Also, I appreciate your help with getting this resolved.

 

[HollowIchigo]

as of now i have had no new BSOD. i will post the new information when/if it happens again. i may even spend part of tomorrow trying to re-create it.

 

[Thedoctor44]

The process running was Hwmonitor but nothing indicated it was part of the issue.

That's good news
