Hi, it's very nice to meet all of you here. Sorry to bother you all.
Recently I have had a frequent BSOD issue, usually when playing games but mostly with the "Sims 3". Before now, I have never gotten a blue screen error with the game, and the game runs well enough on higher settings. But sometimes when I "zoom in or zoom out" of a particular building, I get this error. Other times, it is completely fine, and runs fine.
Before I started getting these errors, I had to reinstall the game to fix a lag issue I could not find the source of. I also installed a Beta driver then, to see if it fixed the lag issue. I had absolutely no errors then, even with the beta driver. After I reinstalled is when I ran into the problem. The game runs great without the lag, but now the blue screens are occurring. I read the mini dump with WhoCrashed, and saw that the driver causing the Bad Pool Caller problem is related to an nvidia driver. I tried rolling back the driver AND doing a clean install of the latest driver, but I am still getting the Bad Pool Caller error.
One time, I had received the bad pool caller error, and when I restarted, I got the Corrupted Driver error.
I have run full-scanned anti-virus software, CHKDisk, memory diagnostics, and checked for corrupted files and they all came back clean. I have even reinstalled the game from the ground up, and still I get the error.
Again, it doesn't happen all the time, but it gets annoying having to be wary with saving because I am unsure if it will pop up when I go to map view :wacko:Link Removed
The attached file has everything including the CPU-Z, Mini-Dumps, and HTML Mem Test. It would be great if you could help me pinpoint the problem. Thanks
