Okay, so I have a new laptop, and what do you know, having had it less than 2 months, got my first blue screen on it today....and from the blue screen itself it looked remarkably similar to some of the crashes on my other laptop. Circumstance surrounding it: whole laptop froze midgame on...

Hmmm, a RAM issue would make sense I guess, I've not installed much stuff lately and have been noticing my laptop has been running some games a lot less smoothly than it had been just a few weeks ago (and been getting slower in general)! Unfortunately I have no idea where to begin when it comes...

Yep, it's the same machine (hoping to get a new one within the next couple of months or so though!). Just got the file uploaded onto tinyupload.com: http://s000.tinyupload.com/index.php?file_id=92229528259154642644 I'll bear in mind to keep using the same thread too!

This is a new error for me - unfortunately when I try to upload the dump file it's saying "The uploaded file is too large for the server to process." (zipped file size is 2440kb), any idea where I could get it uploaded so I can post a link to it here? (I don't think it's linked to my previous...

I've now uninstalled the driver (through the device manager section of sysdm.cpl) and reset the pagefile. Seems the driver may still have been partially functioning (even with the GPU disabled) as my main windows toolbar has now taken a more basic colour setting (edit - it's now returned to...

Ok I've just had another slightly different crash - it said something about Memory Management. Downloading MSE now (my Avast subscription is due to expire in under a month anyway). I note you said something about changing my Pagefile last time - could you advise how I do that and I'll see if...

In terms of the previous blue screen you helped with due to the graphics driver, I ended up deactivating the nvidia driver altogether to stop the crashes (the inbuilt intel one in the processor works just fine, which I found out after a system restore resulted in the laptop auto deactivating...

Just had a sudden blue screen crash (I seem to get them every once in a while (this is maybe the 3rd I've ever had since I got my laptop nearly 2 years ago) and restart computer without any issues anyway, can't remember if it's this same issue each time though), just wondering if there is a way...

Yeah I realised that after one of the early restores. After the last one I did I made sure to set the settings the way I wanted them to stay then created a manual restore point (saves me having to change it each time pre restore too) It does look like the issue is only with the nvidia driver...

It started BSODing again (different games different on which system restore I was using), but I think I've just found the best solution, which was to deactivate the Nvidia driver altogether (my laptop also has an intel driver as well that's working for all the games, I found this out cos when...

Looks like the BSOD issue is fixed however still having problems running some games correctly (driver keeps not keeping up with one game, and getting to one point on another then not rendering), I think it may be to do with driver settings as I reset them to default while sorting the BSOD issue...

It looks like I may have found a solution - update to the latest driver without installing the windows driver update. Currently everything running smoothly (having used it for about 5 minutes). If it does crash though I will try that second link. Also regarding your question regarding drivers...

Well I thought it was working, but now other games are crashing instead, and I've done system restore twice (cos it didn't complete successfully the first time) and it's still crashing even after that. I'd made sure to cancel the auto reinstall of the new drivers (as it had cancelled the option...

Thanks for your suggestions. Fortunately one of my friends suggested updating the graphics driver, which I have now done (for some reason I didn't have options to update without first downloading something else), and although said update is making windows freeze about 2/3rds of the time just...

Hi, new user here. I had a windows update auto install earlier on today and since then most my games have been getting BSOD on launch (these games were working as recently as yesterday). Any help fixing this would be appreciated (it should be noted I have within the last 2 weeks received my...
