Windows 7 BSOD during BF3 - new computer.

[Zhirgoyt]

Hi!
I recently bought parts for a new computer and installed without any problems. Everything except playing Battlefield 3 has worked fine so far, although I haven't stressed the computer with any other game thus far.

I have tried reinstalling drivers for the soundcard (realtek), the graphics card and some other things. I have tried running chkdsk and the built-in ram-test, with no luck. I have also reinstalled BF3.

It often happens about 20-30 mins into the game and I have been monitoring the temperatures quite closely, so I don't think that's the problem.

Very grateful for any help. I have attached the images of CPU-Z and my only minidump file I could find. I had 3 more but they got deleted, I guess from me running CCleaner. They were caused by dxgmms1.sys.

My specs:

MSI Z77A-G43 ATX
Crucial Ballistix Sport 8GB 1600Mhz (2x4096MB)
Intel Core i5 3450 3,1Ghz (Ivy Bridge)
Optiarc AD-7280S SATA, OEM
Cooler Master Elite 430 Svart
Fractal Design Integra 500W
XFX Radeon HD6870 1024MB
1TB Seagate Barracuda 7200rpm SATA 6Gbit/s
Windows 7, 64-bit

Edit: I tried disabling the Realtek High Definition Audio in device manager and I was able to play 20 mins before I had a different crash (to desktop), following a map-change. I'm gonna give it a longer go later tonight to see if it still works.

Nothing obvious in that single dump file, So......
Turn off Driver Verifier for now.
Use your system BIOS utility to turn off / disable EIST (Enhanced Intel SpeedStep Technology)
If Blue Screens persist, then;

Download Memtest86+ from this location here. Burn the ISO to a CD and boot the computer from the CD from a cold boot after leaving it off for an hour or more.
Ideally let it run for at least 7 passes / 6-8 hours. If errors appear before that you can stop that particular test. Any time Memtest86+ reports errors, it can be either bad RAM or a bad Mobo slot. Perform the test RAM sticks individually as well as all possible combinations. When you find a good one then test it in all slots. Post back with the results.
See this Guide to using Memtest 86+

Attach any new dump files here by updating your thread.
