Windows 7 BSOD when playing games

Jessica · Jan 30, 2012

I never get the bluescreen doing anything but playing games and it's not often but it happens about twice a week. It crashes and WhoCrashed or Bluescreen view always points to ntoskrnl.exe or ntkrnlmp.exe or hal.dll it's always two of those 3. Other than games it runs fine. I did all the memory tests for 3 days and tried the best I could re-seat stuff. It's an alienware so they have it all secured in a way that makes it difficult to get around, and the case weighs around 105 lbs or something crazy.here's the minidump file:

Hi Jessica and Welcome to The Forum.

To get you started these old drivers from Silicon Image need updating:

SiRemFil.sys Wed Jun 20 20:42:10 2007 Link Removed
SiWinAcc.sys Fri Jun 15 01:02:02 2007

The crash occurred when DCGAME.EXE was running. I believe this is DC Universe Online Windows Client from Sony Online Entertainment. It may well be worth checking that that also is up to date.

Also. Please see: Link Removed Following Method 2:
Download and run the SF Diagnostics Tool. Right click the SF Diag tool and select Run as Administrator before running. When the reports have been created, zip...

Thanks. What about this apple update? Or should I just do this first and see how things go first?
