Windows 7 BSOD When Gaming

[Liam Bradford]

Hi everyone.

I have just recently been getting a problem where when I am getting a BSOD while playing Battlefield 3 and Counter-Strike: Global Offensive. It also seems to happen when running Prime-95 for more than 15-10 Minutes.

I have attached a minidump of my latest BSOD

I hope you all can help, Thanks allot in advance.

Extra Information: I tried to fix this error myself but for some reason I couldn't install the windows SDK. So I couldn't install Debugging tools. Also I just included some screen captures from CPU-Z

I've seen a couple of issues with memory settings on Asus M4 series boards. Visit the GSkill website and get the settings/timings/voltages that they recommend - then set them in the BIOS of your motherboard (in other words - DON'T use the Auto setting for memory).

The Prime95 Blend test primarily stresses RAM, but also involves the CPU cache and the memory controller.
Try running this free memory test to see if you get errors: Link Removed - Invalid URL

Un-install UltraMon - it's known to cause BSOD's in some Win7 systems (especially with older drivers like yours).
DO NOT re-install until the system is stable and not having BSOD's

SP1 isn't installed, please do the following:

Installing Windows 7 Service Pack 1
1. Visit the PC manufacturer's website and update ALL drivers. DO NOT use Windows Update or the "Update drivers" function of Device Manager.
2. Check Device Manager for any unknown/disabled devices - if there are unknown/disabled devices, fix them with the latest drivers from the device manufacturer's website (not the PC Manufacturer)
3. Visit Windows Update and get all updates (may take repeated visits)
4. Visit Windows Update and get Service Pack 1 (usually under Important Updates). Read these notes for installing SP1: Steps to follow before you install Windows 7 SP1 and Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1 from the Microsoft Download Center
5. Visit Windows Update and get any other available updates. May take repeated visits, but keep it up until you get several "Windows is updated" results.
If you're having difficulties with installing a Service Pack, please use the SURTool from this link: What is the System Update Readiness Tool?
Also, check out this troubleshooting link from Microsoft: Troubleshoot problems installing Service Pack 1 (SP1) for Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2

I have had limited success in installing updates/Service Packs when using a "clean boot". I suspect that I'm just bypassing the problem - and that it can come back to bite me in the butt later on.

Please update these older drivers. Links are included to assist in looking up the source of the drivers. If unable to find an update, please remove (un-install) the program responsible for that driver. DO NOT manually delete/rename the driver as it may make the system unbootable! :

Hi thanks for the fast reply!

Anyway, I ran memtest after I changed the timing of my ram and it ran without any sort of errors. I uninstalled UltraMon. My system seems to be running allot better now. But I will run Prime 95 for about 12hours to see how it goes.

I'm glad to hear that you probably have fixed it!
Thanks for letting us know!
