[BSOD] Computer Crashes When Gaming?
Aug 5, 2012
A couple of days ago I did something really stupid: I tried to download a game for free by following a tutorial which required me to install a Babylon toolbar from an ad. It didn't work, so I uninstalled all the babylon stuff and scanned my computer with Avira and Ad-aware, they came up with some detections and a hidden object and removed them.After that, I bought the game instead of downloading. However, my computer now randomly freezes when playing and seems slightly slower than before. As long as I'm not gaming, my computer functions normally, but starting the game makes my computer freeze and BSOD every 2 out of 3 times. Also my computer doesn't seem to make any minidumps, even after enabling it via those settings and trying tons of other ways.

My computer system crashes when I play most video games (only company of heroes and civilization 5 wont crash). I have already ran all the stress tests including memtest 86+, prime95 and furmark without any errors/crashes. I suspected that it was a driver issue so I decided to do a clean reinstall of windows 7 and then install all the drivers. It had absolutely no effect I updated my motherboard and video card BIOS but that didnt help either. I tried disabling ULPS and 2D clocks for my video card but nothing happened. The only critical event that is logged in event viewer is "kernel ID 41" (Its just a notification that my computer was shut off unexpectedly). When the computer crashes, a black screen will appear and the last bit of audio that was playing will get distorted and it will keep on playing(It will make a loud BRRRRR noise).I have to then manually restart the computer and boot back into windows.
system specs:
phenom ii x6 1050t @3.9ghz 1.46v (max temp 52C)
8 GB kingston hyper x 1600mhz memory
radeon 7850 2 GB (max temp 58C)
OCZ modxstream 700 watt PSU
1 TB western digital HDD
corsair c70 with 6 120mm cooling fans

I have gone through the process of trying to figure out my BSOD problems. I ended up reinstalling Windows 7. After installing the latest drivers for everything I thought I had the problem solved.. not so much. The problems are still plaguing me, so I find myself here.

I recently changed the cabinet of my computer and since then I've been getting freezes and BSODS, when it freezes it just gets stuck at whatever I'm doing and makes a buzzing noise through the speakers. I haven't had time to read the error codes when I get the BSODS, it reboots to fast. The freezes/BSODS appear to happen more frequently when gaming, but it also occurs when I'm just browsing. have Windows 7 Ultimate x64, and have tried reinstalling it but it didn't help.

My Windows 7 64-bit laptop crashes when I return to my computer after sleep/hibernate.
I cannot set up symbols on MS debugger (after many attempts) I have attached screenshots of cpu-z (both tabs) and my event viewer which lists 24 critical failures, all event ID 41: "The system has rebooted without cleanly shutting down first. This error could be caused if the system stopped responding, crashed, or lost power unexpectedly."
p.s. Dunno if this is important but the machine is a Sony Vaio but I have uninstalled all sony bloat ware (except Vaio Control Center)

My computer frequently crashes to a blank (black) screen when I play games like TES V or Fable III, and leaves me no alternative but to do a hard reset with the power button. I've cleaned out the air vents several times to no avail, and I'm pretty sure my video drivers are up to date. As far as I can tell the CPU isn't being overused either.I've had a very similar problem before, and last time cleaning the vents out with a compressed air can did the trick. The only difference last time is that it wasn't always a blank screen, sometimes it hard weird vertical lines all over it.

This is a new pc build using various parts we have accumulated. When using Internet Explorer I get app crashes. I have been playing DC Universe Online and get random app crash, display drivers stop responding, apphangB1, I also lose monitor signal. Here is a list of fixes we have tried already:
-We have disabled internet explorer add ons and even tried disabling IE completely, to no avail
-We have swapped out the 5770 for an 8800 GTX that we know works, same problem
-We have the latest BIOS/drivers
-We have run SpeedFan, CPU temp 41C
-We have run Memtest for both sticks of RAM at the same time in slots 1 and 3 and there was an error, so we tried to isolate the bad RAM by testing invidivual sticks in slot 3 - no errors on either stick? therefore, we put the sticks in slots 3 and 4, assuming there may be a problem with slot 1 - worked ok for a couple of hours, then game crashes and black screen with sound requiring reboot. Monitor is fine, as it works on my BF's pc with no problems.
-We have tried a couple of installs of Windows 7
-We have run chkdsk - no errors.The BIOS is running on default, nothing overclocked - we have used the correct timings for the RAM and autotimed them, same problem
We are currently not using an antivirus because we did not want to add more problems, but we will get AVAST.My BF has given up now, as there is nothing else he can think of to try. I feel we are so close to resolving the issue, as it did run fine for a while, but then a bunch of errors all at once. If it helps, here is a copy of the error log.

Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit Retail installed in my main 80GB Intel SSD roughly 2 years ago.All the hardware (image below) is fairly new except the hard drives which I am unsure of and have been reusing from build to build. I have 2 pairs of G.Skill RAM in different sizes, but same specs (2x2GB & 2x4GB). Crashes have been starting after installation of the 2X4GB RAM although I have been doing other tweaks to the computer from then on. Some registry stuff might have been accidentally deleted as well.So far, I've addressed my Realtek PCI-E reader's driver update as there was a problem relating to it and some video encoder.My Windows Media Player also freezes after watching ~10-20 minutes of a video and then switching over to another.

I just finished my first build but my PC crashes every time it sleeps (whether the sleep is automatic or I initiate it). I've seen this mentioned a couple of times throughout the forums but I haven't seen an answer from anyone anywhere. Do I just need to return and replace my mobo?

When i game the game will freeze sound still plays but mouse everything locks up. Have to warm reboot. Other times it goes to black screen, and still have to warm reboot. I had this problem starting a year ago. At that time i did mem test, cpu stress test, gpu stress test, all came back fine. Back then it use to reboot itself. So, i figured maybe a psu issue, it was still under warranty so i sent it off, they did find a bad capacitor and replaced! Cool no a month after getting it back started doing as mentioned above. So, at that time i had a 8800GTX 1.5 gig video card in it. So, i spent the money and went to a Geforce 560 GTX 2 gig, eventhough i had stressed tested the 8800. Ok so a week or so went by all good then it started up again. Only has it locked up once while not gaming. Always locks on WOT(world of tanks unless i use the older 275 nvidia driver) DIdnt use to lock up with Diablo III, TSW, SWTOR, SCII. Untill recently sometimes its once or twice a night others its 3 or 6 times. I ran a Mem test a week ago ran for 9 plus hours no errors.

Had this issue a few weeks ago, couldn't fix it. I got fed up and reformatted thinking that would solve a driver issue...but the problem persisted. I finally resorted to swapping out my ATI 6870 to an NVidia 8800 and the problem ceased...for awhile. Now it happens once or twice a day, only while gaming or some other intensive process. I do not know what to do.

yesterday i started receiving a bsod while i was playing diablo3. i was having no issues with the game, everything was running fine and all of a sudden the screen froze and the sound got stuck so to speak. after a few minutes i then received a bsod. i rebooted the computer and went back to playing. i received another bsod. i looked on the diablo3 forums and saw that this was an issue that was affecting a lot of players. but before this day i had been playing the game fine for hours at a time for at least 5 days. i saw that the graphics drivers may be causing an issue so i made sure that they were up to date. i still received the bsod after 20-40 minutes of playing. i tried reverting to old drivers and still received the bsod. i tried uninstalling the game and re-installing and still received the bsod. i decided to try a different game and after about 30 minutes of that game my computer crashed. both of the games are made by blizzard so i thought it might be an issue with them. however, i have never received an error before when playing the second game, which i have been playing for a year or so on this computer.i then tried watching a video on Internet and after about 23 minutes it froze and i got the bsod. i tried one more time to watch another video and this time i lasted almost an hour before it crashed. i decided to let my computer sit with nothing on the screen for almost 2 hours. when i went to open the internet it didn't seem to respond and just hung with the blue busy wheel. i was not able to open any program. i did ctrl+alt+del and got a black screen followed by a box that read "failure to display security and shut down options". i then had to turn the computer off by the power button.my computer doesn't seem to be writing dump files even though i have enabled them to be saved. im not sure how to remedy that. i have tried updating my graphics drivers and reverting to old ones. i have done a memtest and no problems were detected. i monitor my temps and it never seems to get anywhere close to overheating.i have never had a problem with this computer until yesterday. the only major things that have changed is that i downloaded diablo3 on the 25th (though i didnt start receiving the bsods until the 30th) and i have recently moved so i have a new router and internet connection.

I built a computer about 2 weeks ago. Since then I've gotten random restarts/freezes/BSOD.At first I wasn't getting any minidumps. Figured that out (had to change some settings so it'd write them)Then I figured out my MOBO had my RAM at 11-11-11-28 when it was supposed to be 9-9-9-24. Since then, no random restarts but now freezes (with sound looping) or BSOD (never writting a mini dump except this one time)So. Symptoms: It usually happens during gaming. Either Minecraft or Realm of a Mad God. It will either BSOD out on me or Just freeze with (if sound is playing) sound looping. It's completely random. Sometimes it won't do it for hours. The last time (the time it actually gave me a minidump log) I had the computer on maybe 10 minutes and it BSOD while playing Realm of a Mad God.
System Specs:
OS: Windows 7 Home-64Bit
Processor: AMD Phenom II x4 955
MOBO: GIGABYTE GA-990FXA-UD3 AM3+ AMD 990FX Newegg.com - GIGABYTE GA-990FXA-UD3 AM3+ AMD 990FX SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX AMD Motherboard
RAM: G.Skill RipJaw 16GB (4x4gb) Newegg.com - G.SKILL Ripjaws X Series 16GB (4 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory Model F3-12800CL9Q-16GBXL
HDD: Segate 500GB Newegg.com - Seagate Barracuda ST500DM002 500GB 7200 RPM 16MB Cache SATA 6.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive -Bare Drive
PSU: Broadway 680W Newegg.com - Broadway Com Corp OKIA-BLACK-680 680W ATX 12V V2.2 SLI Ready CrossFire Ready Active PFC Power Supply
This was the BSOD report I got: 0x0000007F (0x0000000000000008, 0x0000000050031, 0x00000000000006f8, 0xfffff80000CD1D00) as I believe the 50031 or 6f8 was supposedly an audio thing (according to a website)Also "WhoCrashed?" Gave me this:
On Mon 4/2/2012 11:43:24 PM GMT your computer crashed
crash dump file: C:WindowsMinidump�40212-16614-01.dmp
This was probably caused by the following module: ntoskrnl.exe (nt+0x7CD40)

I'm getting regular BSODs whilst gaming and occasionally whilst running other applications, with the code 0xA0000001. I have listed my specs and attached the ZIP file as requested by the forum. I'm running an overclocked system (4.8Ghz), but I've taken it off to see if it's the source of the BSODs and that doesn't help. I've used DriverMax to update my drivers.

My system has been getting random Blue Screens while I play games. It's completely random. I may go a full day without a crash, or it may happen 2 or 3 times in a few hours. It's happened on multiple games, but only while gaming. I read on a forum entry that Daemon tools, can cause this, and have uninstalled it. It seemed to fix it, but then it just happened again recently. It has primarily happened while playing Fallout 3 and the Path of Exile Beta, but those have really been the only 2 games I've been playing recently. System specs are:
core i5 3.3 ghz
geforce gtx 560 mv, latest drivers installed
8 gig ram
Asus P8Z77-V LX motherboard
Seagate Barricuda 500 gb hd
Windows 7 home premium 64 bit

just recently bought a new computer and encountered some problems on video playback and on games. on videos the video plays normally until some time the videos becomes jittery with green and pink lines, if i leave it that way it usually results into a "display driver has stopped responding...." or it goes bsod. this also happens on Internet and other video streaming sites. on games it's pretty much the same but it crashes and goes bsod or display driver has blah blah.... i pretty much updated all the drivers needed mobo, video card and win7 updates and it still haunts me, but then again i can still play videos and do gaming

I've had two recent BSOD's this month. My HP Pavillion Elite Core i7, 750GB, 8 GB, is 2 1/2 years old. Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit. Prior to the BSOD's, I have recently installed Office 365, and am using Lync and Sharepoint. I've also recently hooked up a new Western Digital External 2TB, USB 2.0/3.0 to back up my data using Windows Backup. I have not left the external drive connected.

On my laptop I can run a game and log into my account and pick a character but as soon as it loads the character i get blue screened, it sometimes happens when I am watching a movie or something but only on the rare occasion but it happens every time i try to play a game. Earlier tonight I restored to factory settings and all was going well and I was installing a game until at about 54% I got a blue screen. My laptop is 64-bit and has the original operating system on it which is the pre-installed version that came on it.
