win 7 keeps crashing

[vald95]

Hello, I've recently installed a windows 7 64-bit version.
Updated drivers from manufacturer's site (video,sound,chipset)
and installed a game for some performance check ( Call Of Duty 4.)
after maximum 30 minutes of playing it the pc freezes and a reboot is needed.
(as i mentioned at the beginning, drivers ARE updated.)
And its not a heat problem as-well, how do i fix this?

The OS is WIN7 Ultimate x64
files are attached.

I had similar lockup issues that turned out to be hardware related. I would suggest opening up the case and at least re-seating the RAM. Please fill in your system specs so we know what hardware you've got. You can do it through the user control panel (click on your user name at the top of the page where it says 'Welcome vald95'. Welcome to the forum.

ugh did you have to use zipx on the dump files?
Oh well, someone else will have to check it for you I'm not installing that nightmare called winzip just for one file. ...nothing personal against you, I just hate winzip.

Are you sure that its all finally comes down and ends with the RAM re-seat?
(Its the 2nd day im trying to solve this prob [consecutively])
Do you really think it can help?

lol are you kidding me?
there's a threat at the sticky which says to attach the dmp as ZIP files.

 

[vald95]

added system specs

zip I can extract with anything, (support is actually built into windows with pro or better) zipx requires winzip.

It's not an absolute, mine turned out to be a bad motherboard but it couldn't hurt.

 

[vald95]

if i aint able to play games properly without the BSOD's but my pc works fine when im working on the desktop and stuff, is it possible that the memory is damaged, (im a little confused 'cause i AM able to work when the pc isnt making effort)
or is it just some bug that will be fixed as soon as i re-seat the sticks? will 'memtest86+' help to diagnose before opening the case?

 

[badkarma11]

Memtest will identify problems with RAM without opening the case, but if memtest finds errors, you're going to have to pull the RAM anyway and test 1 stick at a time. Like I said, simple step, couldn't hurt.

what do u mean "test 1 stick at a time" ?

 

[vald95]

i need the DRAM Timing of my mem stick : Kingston KVR1066D2N7/2G-SP (it goes 5-5-5-?)
i need to know if the last number is 14 or 15 for the bios to set it manualy
ps. zero error @ memtest86+ , memory's fine

 

[badkarma11]

How many passes in Memtest did you do? You should do at least 7 before declaring 'all is well'. I can't find Timings for that particular stick. Is that 1 4GB stick, or 4 1GB sticks or 2 2GB sticks? The timings I found for the 1GB stick was 7-7-7-20

 

[vald95]

never mind mate, i found the problem, my MB's not supporting this specific stick model, and because of that it can only work fine @ default Timing & Frequency ( = 5-5-5-14 & 800MHz)
i need to go to the store and have a 'little' chat with the man who i bought the pc from

 

[vald95]

thank you very much for helping and guiding me how to get to the solution by the way, good luck mate.

Good luck to you to, my friend. Shout out if you need more help, glad to be of some assistance. I hate to think that I'm just another oxygen theif

 

[vald95]

oh gosh, it goes on and on and on..
but u said i need to do 7 passes i did only 3 last time
do u think it would help if i will pass 7 of 'em?

Depending on how much RAM you have,7 passes can run 6-8 hours. I have 8 GB and it took 12 hours. 7 successful passes is the recommended indicator that at least your RAM and the motherboard slots for them are OK

 

[vald95]

7 passes without an error.. its fine, but it continues crashing.
i wonder if its because i manually close some proccesses via task manager, on the other hand, those are only the ones who come from the my username, not windows ones.
can it be the possible problem?
(even with 800MHz frequency + 5-5-5-14 like some other ppl recommended at the Setup, its crashing non-stop.)
