Hi.

You're getting 0x3b errors. To troubleshoot/repair, please take the following necessary steps.

Update the Realtek HD Audio driver from the following link:

Code:
RTKVHD64 RTKVHD64.sys Tue Aug 04 05:50:52 2009

Link Removed

------

Uninstall each and every DVD software(s) until this driver is removed from the system:
Code:
pcouffin pcouffin.sys Tue Dec 05 09:39:30 2006

Alternatively, you can just go to C:\Windows\System32\drivers and rename it to pcouffin.BAK. Reboot to make the change accepted.

I see you have AVG. This is usually the exact cause of the 0x3b stop errors. Please uninstall it using the special tool at the following link. Then you may install MSE as a great free replacement that never causes bsod...
Someone will be along shortly but will need a copy of the mini-dump file. Link Removed should explain how to find and attach it.
 
Here is his zipped temp file. He claims he had someone upgrade his computer from vista to windows 7 and then had a problem so they removed vista and did a clean install of 7. He hasn't told me exactly what happens besides getting the BSOD when gaming mostly. If you need any more info or if I should get any more, I will post it here. Thank you.

Did the person who did the upgrade / install use a legitimate Windows 7 install DVD? Did you friend purchase it and then have this person do the install?

Have all the proper drivers been installed? Windows 7 does have a few issues when it comes to games, there are a lot of posts about it throughout the internet.

Hello,

Seems like the Dump files are also pointing to your Direct X Drivers most probably it might be your Graphics Card. I would recommend to uninstall it and reinstall it follow this Link Link Removed - Invalid URL it's specific to nVidia but the same procedure is applicable for other display card we well.

Also i would recommend to run a Hardware Diagnostic to make sure everything is going good. Follow this link for assistance Link Removed - Invalid URL

Good Luck,
Captain
 
Believe it or not, AVG is actually entirely responsible for the dumps showing a relation to the video; hence the 0x3b error (passing bad data to the kernel code, from video driver.) AVG is notorious for this one, lol....much like netio.sys and ZA.

Very high chance, or 100% chance that there is actually nothing wrong the the actual video/drivers.

Always good to have latest driver installed anyhow.
 
Hi all and thanks for the advice. I spoke with my buddy today after not hearing from him in a while. He removed AVG and installed Microsoft Security Essentials. Installed the latest drivers for his video card. Still getting BSOD. Anyting else this error code could be pointing to?
