Getting BSOD Everytime When Run A Game Which Is Graphic Intense (like Skyrim)?
Apr 7, 2012
I've been getting BSOD everytime I run a game which is graphic intense(like skyrim).I am using Alienware M17x with dual SLI with dual NVIDIA GTX 280m. I used to have a broken adaptor so I've been using a lower voltage adaptor that did not charge the laptop and used the Geforce 9800. This problem has been occuring ever since I got my new adaptor and has been using the 280m.
My friend told me that due to me having HP 4000 Gfx, I would be able to play skyrim. Is this true? Am I able to play it? And if so, how about any other Elder Scrolls games?
i click new game and after 2-5mins in the game with scenes and stuff. Either my screen blacks out/ just hangs and can't do anything while it slowly turns the screen white/ reboots on its own.
I've tried updating drivers and such. My next step is a full reinstall.After the initial crash it seems to randomly BSOD unless I attempt to run windows update which nearly always kills it.
I've had a nightmare with my computer over the last week with various random crashes whilst play Rift. Now I am struggling to even get past the starting video for Skyrim as the game is freezing and crashing (with the dreaded BSOD). When I see the screen it mentions the atikmpag.sys error.

I was playing Skyrim when it first blue screened. Soon after, it blue screened when browsing. Now, it is blue screening over and over again on start up.

My computer has been working fine for almost a year now, and the BSOD just started two days ago while playing Skyrim. I thought it was just Skyrim, so I stopped playing that and just left it for a while. Today, my computer got the BSOD during normal flash gaming, and then again 30 or so minutes later when I was trying to post here.

my computer is giving me a hard time with all this BSOD.It works fine when im just surfing the net or watching videos, but when Im playing games like Skyrim, ME3 or Witcher 2 it just suddenly hangs and BSODs.The least time for this to happen is 20 mins and the longest time for this to happen is 4 hours. Which in those games cases is a short time.My Windows 7 is
- x64 - the original installed OS on the system? Yes
- an OEM or full retail version? OEM = came pre-installed on system
- What is the age of system (hardware)? Nov 10, 2012
- What is the age of OS installation (have you re-installed the OS?) Same as hardware.
I was playing Skyrim last weekend, and the game froze on a black screen just as it was cutting to a kill animation. I had to restart the computer but when Windows loaded I had a BSOD. The computer booted fine up till this point.I've been looking up causes and fixes all week, and the dump files seem to suggest a 0x116 Video_TDR_error. I've attached all the requested information.I've already tried installing several different graphics drivers - the newest, the one supplied with the card, and one between. Windows and DirectX were fully up to date. I've also tried formatting the hard drive and installing Windows fresh, twice. I've had the computer back to the state it arrived in, when the drivers worked fine, and I've tried it with only the video drivers installed. Everything I try now is still resulting in the same BSOD.I can only get Windows to load in Safe Mode, or if I go into Device Manager and disable my graphics card. I am now fairly convinced the card itself is the problem, and I'm looking for confirmation before I go and get a new one fitted.The computer was new at the end of November. I had the same Windows install since then, but now I'm running a fresh install.
my computer Blue Screens about once every 24 hours or so, so it's not that bad yet, but it often happens when I'm not doing anything at the computer. It was only three times so far, but I figure that's more than enough to get help with it, so it doesn't keep happening.
I thought it was my video card but then i swapped it out and it is still doing it. it used to be random but now it seems to do it randomly and when installing new programs and also at 10% install on the new wow exp beta it is at 10% on the dot every time.
it crashes suddenly and many times and it has given me this problems since i bought it,so i decided to post here to look up for the solution.
My computer's OS is windows 7 x64,it has 8 GB of ram and an Intel I5 Quad core processor 3.20 GHz.
I tried fixing the problem by updating drivers,searching for viruses,setting my pc to low power consumption,improving the heat dissipation with many fans and a new case and cleaning inside it,running chkdsk,uninstalling some useless programs and doing RAM tests but nothing of this worked.
Every time that I shutdown Windows 7, it tries to instal 3 updates related to DotNet 4.0, and finishes in a BSOD. I dont have the minidumps cause when it starts again it's like nothing had happened, it doesnt show me any "Unexpected shutdown" window.
i have a wierd problem, some months before i used to have a software named sandboxie.Then suddenly some time i started experiencing BSOD errors about a message i dont remember but it was like "wrong write adress in memory".I unninstaled sandboxie and it stopped.Then 5 weeks ago i installed another sandboxie-like software named buffer zone pro and after install same thing happens random BSOD with same message.Also my pc has been formated in the meantime from sandboxie and bufferzone for other reasons but the problem still remains.
I have this problem that I've been trying to diagnose for a month or so. It's proving difficult. The problem has been happing since around February this year.The computer build is over 1 year old.Every few hours, I get constant disk access for approximately 3 mins. I don't have a virus, it doesn't match a schedule & I don't have much hair left. During the disk access (the pc disk light is on constantly), I can move the mouse, but nothing responds to a disk read/write for several minutes. The clock still runs & the CPU % is very low.I assumed it was the hard drive & bought Spinrite as a last test as the drive had passed chkdsk constantly. Spinrite found no problem at all, not a single fault despite running it for about 12 hours on a maintenance run.
Here's an idea of the erratic schedule:Day 1 freeze 16:00, 19.37Day 2 freeze 09:12, 15:11Day 3 freeze 10:16, 12:06, 13:30Day 4 freeze 11:14, 13.08, 14.24I try running resource monitor with the disk page up, but am finding it hard to diagnose the problem from it. Anything that shows up in disk monitor, I disable & try another test for a day. have disabled (one at a time):Prevx, Acronis backup, desktop gadgets, search indexing, Skype, Google update.I have installed the latest nic & graphics drivers. I have the latest chipset drivers & BIOS.Full virus scans with Prevx, Malwarebytes. No malware symptoms[CODE]
when I install the graphic driver for windows 7 it gives me the BSOD when I boot up the computer. The reason is the nvlddmkm.sys file that gives the BSOD. The only way to boot it up is to run it in safe mode.
I got a hp pavilion dv9700 with nVidia GeForce 8600M GS with 512mb.
so for about 5 days, i have experienced random and sporadic bsod, before that it was normal and stable. i did my installation on my os on october 2011. i'm quite sure it's graphic driver but i've clean installed almost 10 times and still crashing. it crashes randomly when i opened a Internet video or open a video file, everything regarding to video. i'm already feeling hopeless here
my specs are win 7 64 bit home premium (not oem) gigabyte x58 ud3r i7 920 gigabyte gtx 480 asus xonar essence stx 3x2 ocz ram 1033 mhz my os is located on my ssd which is an intel 510 120 gb i got 1 tb hard drive caviar green i got 500 gb hard drive caviar green and 250 gb seagate (really old, it's ide iirc)
i've uploaded the minidump and system performance, i hope i did right on the attachment (first time posting here).
I have been dealing with a problem now since January and I wonder if someboddy is recognizing this. My system gets a bsod when I install the graphic driver. It doesnt happen directly but after a while when im on the internet or when I'm trying to run FM 2012 or other games. Then when i reboot I get bsod before windows startup. When the driver isn't installed the computer is running without problem but im not able to play a game or connect the computer to TV and stuff like that.When I reboot again and put the computer in Safe mode I uninstall the driver in device manager and reboot again and the computer is able to start normally.The files that cause the bsod is:
atikmpag.sys <------ almost every time this one dxgkrnl.sys ntoskrnl.exe
*I looked around on the internet for soloutions, there're many and I have tried almost all. I've tried to remove everything with driver sweeper to install the latest update to my ATI Radeon HD 4870 x2. Even tried to install old updates.
*I have tried to install various OS. Vista x32, x64. Windows 7 x32, x64 and even XP. The problem remains. Now when I know that it doesn't matter I have Windows 7 x64 Ultimate.
*I have opened up my computer and removed all the dust from the motherboard, Graphic card and CPU. The temp is OK!
*I removed one RAM memory and it didn't work.
*I've never overclocked anything.
*I've done some system test over night and it didn't find any errors.
*I've upgraded drivers on the bios and everything else on the motherboard and CPU.

I have been using this current os version for 1 year now.Before I come to use this version I used to have a trial windows 7 ultimate running in this computer.I always get BSOD when playing certain games only,I tried to run whocrashes application and here below it the result.
Whenever I am playing graphic intense games my computer will blue screen with the BSOD crash error STOP 0x00000101. It usually happens within the first 5-15 minutes of play This computer was recently built at my local Frys Electronics 3 days ago.[CODE]From what I am told this PC should be able to run graphic intense games just fine on very high settings. I am most likely taking it back to the s
For a week now, every time i play a game, online or not, the game crashes best case scenario, i just get a game has stopped responding message other time it's just the BSOD Is Windows 7 x86 (32-bit) or x64 ? x64 - the original installed OS on the system? its Windows 7 home premium - an OEM or full retail version? full retail - What is the age of system (hardware)? bouhgt it in september 2011 - What is the age of OS installation (have you re-installed the OS?) i tried the dvd updatibng windows program yesterday, didn't do any good, but i've never formated it
Often, when I start up a game, it decides to crash my whole system resulting in a blue screen. Do note, however, that it has also crashed when not in a game, but only once or twice.My first thought was the ram, as it was and is giving a lot of memory errors, so I ran memtest for over 10 hours with no failures. My next thought was the CPU, so I ran prime 95 on blend and small ftt tests for over 8 hours which also proved to be stable. Next was the HDD, and I did everything from examining the SMART info to a long generic test. GPU was my last hope, but Furmark doesn't phase the card, and I even ran MemtestG80 which supposedly tests the GPUs memory as well. I do realize these tests are not the end all, and there could be a problem with any one of them that the tests didn't find. I have also reinstalled Windows Something curious happened when I ran memtest the other day. I had one stick in and left the room for a few minutes, only to come back to 7k+ errors. This was it I thought, I finally found out what was causing it. I wanted to test it again to make sure it wasn't a bug in the software, but it ran for 8 hours with no errors. So I'm lead to believe it's the ram, motherboard, memory cache, or psu. I am leaning away from the psu based on the fact that I get lucky and am able to play Skyrim on Ultra with no issue.I have attached several recent minidumps for anyone who is able to understand such things.
