For awhile now I've been having a blue screen of death interrupt my PA games starting around the 10 minute mark and reoccurring about 5 minutes after I reconnect. I've tried to fix it all the normal ways, (driver update, clean driver reinstall, excessive Googling) but nothing seams to work. Not to mention it's exceptionally annoying. Anyway, I'd love some help. Thanks! My DxDialog with system specs and drivers is attached. I've been getting these two error codes on my BSODs: STOP Error 0x0000003B: SYSTEM_SERVICE_EXCEPTION 0x0000004A - This one just appeared for the first time after the most recent build
Did you recently install new hardware? Also could be a graphics driver issue. Can you upload the Windows dump file. which is located in C:\Windows\MEMORY.DMP and the PA log file. Thank you http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/...0000004a/7b86fccf-b9fd-46cd-b2ec-bc66ccec3f9f http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms819218.aspx http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/hardware/ff558949(v=vs.85).aspx
I've already done that. It's what I was referring to by clean driver reinstall. I don't have a dump file but here is the log file. Thanks for trying to help!
Nope. Also, I went back to the windows folder outside of my browser uploader and found the mem dump file. I still can't upload it though, even if I change its file name extension.
I had a friend with this issue that had bad ram, follow this guide: http://howto.cnet.com/8301-11310_39-57569731-285/test-your-ram-with-windows-memory-diagnostic-tool/
The zip is uploading now. Also, do you think it might have anything to do with the minor overclocking I did to my APU using the BIOS's auto overclock-if-compatible tool? I did do it about a month before getting these issues so I wrote it off but it might have contributed to it I guess.
The GPU was only effected by the motherboard's GPU boost system (sort of like a sidekick GPU so it's not overclocking) and no settings where changed. The CPU was only set to stay at the highest speed it runs in stock settings, 4.3 GHz.
Even though it reported no errors, try removing different sticks of ram, playing and see if it BSoD's
besides windows diagnostic, there is memtest86. look it up and make a bootable flash with it. Run the computer without an os just on flash drive, and let it push memory algorithms to test for leaks where memory can change its neighbors values. If it detects a failure, its prob ram indeed.
Does your video card require a power cable to run? PCIexpress cards that are underpowerd cause issues like this too... I had a similar issue when an older pc of mine's power supply was on its way out... It was randomly dropping in current to the GPU and the system would stall and give BSOD's.... It was a dual rail power supply (crap crap crap)...
I actually already have a copy of that installed thanks to the Linux Mint instal I have on my other partition. I just finished running it and it also reported no errors.
