Solved Random BSODs when playing

[Jocaru]

Hi,

When playing games, at random times, my computer throws a BSOD with different errors each time it happens, games I tested are Supremme Commander 2, STALKER: Call of Prypiat, Battlefield: Bad Company 2, Metro 2033 and more, Battlefield 3 just did BSOD once, the other times just crashed to desktop, it also BSOD twice without playing any games since the installation of Windows.

I thouhgt it could be a problem with the network card and I installed a pci one, not solved the problem.

Here I leave the information about the system and the files you need.

Is Windows 7 . . .
- x86 (32-bit) or x64 ? Windows 7 Professional x64
- the original installed OS on the system? No, own made computer
- an OEM or full retail version? Downloaded and installed from MSDNAA (Microsoft DreamSpark for students)
- OEM = came pre-installed on system - Full Retail = you purchased it from retailer
- What is the age of system (hardware)? Like 5 years, unless RAM (less than a year) and the graphics card (3 months)
- What is the age of OS installation (have you re-installed the OS?) 2 months

Thanks for your help and hope you could solve my problems...

EDIT: System Specs are on profile

Device Concerns:

Marvell Yukon 88E8056 PCI-E Gigabit Ethernet Controller PCI \ VEN_11AB & DEV_4364 & REV_12 & SUBSYS_826E1043 \ 4 & 0 & 00E5 & 18BA0AA4 This device is disabled.
Marvell Yukon 88E8056 PCI-E Gigabit Ethernet Controller # 2 PCI \ VEN_11AB & DEV_4364 & REV_12 & SUBSYS_826E1043 \ 4 & 0 & 00E2 & 45B69F9 This device is disabled.

Were you aware of the above? If so, please explain so we may understand your troubleshooting steps.

Also, be aware that disabling devices does not always prevent their drivers from loading, and the drivers can still cause conflicts if they are not up to date or if they are corrupted/buggy.​

Software Concerns:

Security Software: ??? Make sure to install security software. I recommend either of these:

• Microsoft Security Essentials - Free Antivirus for Windows coupled with Malwarebytes. Do not start the free trial of Malwarebytes. Just use the standalone version, update it, and scan your computer once a week with Malwarebytes and with Microsoft Security Essentials.
  
  
• http://www.sevenforums.com/system-s...-system-security-combination.html#post1732627

After installing your security software, update it, and then run full scans today with each program. Report back the results of the scans.​

Analysis:

Your BugCheck codes are fairly widespread. This typically indicates a hardware issue. A number of your crashes point to your keyboard drivers. What type of keyboard are you using? Do you have the drivers for it installed?


Hardware Checks:

Run some hardware checks.

• If you are overclocking any hardware, please stop.
  
  
• If you have an SSD, make sure the following are up to date:
  • SSD firmware
  • BIOS Version
  • Chipset Drivers
  • Hard disk controller drivers/SATA drivers
  • If you have a Marvell IDE ATA/ATAPI device, make sure the drivers are up to date from the Intel site or Marvell site and not from your motherboard/vendor support site.
  
  
• Run all but the advanced tests with SeaTools for HDDs.
  SeaTools for Windows
  
  SeaTools for DOS​
  
  
• Monitor temperatures during the following tests.
  
  Use the following programs to monitor the temperatures.​
  • Real Temp is a good CPU temperature monitor.
  • Speccy - System Information - Free Download will monitor all hardware temperatures.
  • HWiNFO, HWiNFO32 & HWiNFO64 - Hardware Information and Analysis Tools can be inaccurate for CPU temperatures, but is a good program for GPU temperature monitoring.
  • Use FurMark: VGA Stress Test, Graphics Card and GPU Stability Test, Burn-in Test, OpenGL Benchmark and GPU Temperature | oZone3D.Net to test the graphics card GPU. Let it run until the GPU temperatures even out or until the GPU temperatures reach a dangerous level (you can find the max temperature for your card on either the nVidia or AMD sites; if you are not sure, ask us). The goal is to get a steady temperature, find out if the GPU is overheating, or to see if there are any artifacts present in the test itself: look for strange pixelated patterns on the screen or colors that do not look like they belong. Then use the |MG| Video Memory Stress Test 1.7.116 Download to test your graphics card memory. Let the memory test run for at least seven passes; the more the better.
    
    
  • Run http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/100352-hardware-stress-test-prime95.html to determine any hardware problems. Run all three tests for a few hours each. If you get errors, stop the test and post back here.
    
    
  • Follow the steps for doing CPU stress test using IntelBurnTest
  
  
• Run the boot version of Memtest86+ paying close attention to Parts 2 and 3 of the tutorial. Also, in case Memtest86+ misses anything and comes up with no errors, run the extended version of the Windows Memory Diagnostics Tool for at least five passes. These you may want to run overnight since they take a long time to complete (run them an hour before bed each of the next two nights and check before going to sleep that they are still running).
  
  
     Warning

  Before you proceed with the following, answer these two questions: Are you still under warranty? Does your warranty allow you to open up the machine to check hardware? If you are unsure of the answers to these questions, contact your system manufacturer. :warn:WARNING: The steps that follow can void your warranty!!!
  
  
  For Part 3: If You Have Errors: If you swap any memory components, follow these steps for ESD safety:
  1. Shut down and turn off your computer.
  2. Unplug all power supplies to the computer (AC Power then battery for laptops, AC power for desktops)
  3. Hold down the power button for 30 seconds to close the circuit and ensure all power drains from components.
  4. Make sure you are grounded by using proper grounding techniques, i.e. work on an anti-static workbench, anti-static desk, or an anti-static pad. Hold something metallic while touching it to the anti-static surface, or use an anti-static wristband to attach to the anti-static material while working. If you do not have an anti-static workbench, desk, or pad, you can use your computer tower/case by finding a metal hold in it, such as a drive bay.
  Once these steps have been followed, it is safe to remove and replace components within your computer.

I deactivated those Ethernet controllers because I installed an externa PCI Ethernet Network Card, so yes, I was aware about that.

The keyboard is a Logitech G15, I installed the drivers (didn't think I needed them...) and it seems it solved the problem with BSODs.

Thank you very much for your help, I've been like this for some months .
