    Bluescreens in games
    « on: August 23, 2008, 04:33:26 PM »
    Recently my computer started having bluescreen randomly appear in games, with messages such a 0x0000007E and some others.

    Sometimes also, World of Warcraft crashes and tells me that the "Memory could not be read". This leads me to believe that its a RAM problem, however, I ran Memtest 86+ v1.70, and let it go through each test 2 or 3 times, and it showed absolutely no errors, so I'm guessing that's not the problem.

    Now once in a while when I get a bluescreen, Vista tells me it found what the problem is, and it tells me its my graphics card, and then tells me to download the latest drivers.

    I already downloaded the latest drivers for my graphics card, so I though, could my GPU's RAM be corrupted? Is there any way to find out for sure?

    Here are my specs:

    CPU: Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 Quad Core Processor LGA775 Kentsfield 2.40GHZ 1066FSB 8MB
    Motherboard: ASUS P5N32-E SLI Nforce 680I SLI LGA775 Conroe ATX DDR2 2PCI-E16 PCI-E1 2PCI SATA2 RAID Motherboard

    RAM: Corsair XMS2 TWIN2X2048-6400C4 2GB 2X1GB PC6400 DDR2-800 CL 4-4-4-12 240PIN Dual Channel Memory Kit
    Case: Antec P180 ATX Advanced Mid Tower Aluminum Case 4X5.25 1X3.5 6X3.5INT No PS W/ USB & Audio Ports
    Power supply: OCZ GameXStream 700W ATX12V 24PIN SLI Ready Active PFC ATX Power Supply 120MM Fan Black
    HDD: Seagate Barracuda 7200.10 500GB SATA2 3GB/S 7200RPM 16MB Cache NCQ Hard Drive

        Here's one I managed to take a picture of:
        0x0000000A (0x811A7F3C, 0x0000001B, 0x00000001, 0x8287AB67)

        I'll update with more as I get them.

        Typically due to a bad driver, or faulty or incompatible hardware or software. Use the General Troubleshooting of STOP Messages checklist above.

          Its definitely not a bad driver since I updated to the latest one from Nvidia's website.
          I also doubt it would be incompatible since it worked fine for nearly a whole year before. Is there any way to test the GPU's RAM for errors such as Memtest?

          There are more drivers than just video drivers....

          According to the stop error messages this is definitely a driver issue and or a hardware incompatibility issue...

          Both the 00000a and ooooooooo7 errors support this.

          But if you insist it's not a driver oh well...

              Then what do you suggest I do? I already have the latest driver installed.

              Re-install all your drivers ...start with the MBoard chipset drivers first.
              This is important.

                I had a similar issue while playing AoC.  Turned out it was a conflict with my specific sound card.  I would start there. Check the game forums and see if anyone has had a similar issue.  Updating my sound card drivers didn't help but changing a sound setting in the game was the solution (which I found on the forums).  Good luck.
