My Dell 15R crashes if I play a game (GTA IV, II M.a.f.i.a) for about 3-4 minutes and BSOD appears

I just got a new Dell 15R (i7, 8 GB of RAM, 1 TB HDD, AMD HD 7730 M 2 GB graphics) and I tried to play M.a.f.i.a2 with and without steam and twice, after playing them for 3-4 minutes, the game crashed and BSOD appeared. It happened so in GTA IV. I've updated my graphics driver, but it made no difference. I also did a system restore, which also did not work. The error that I got from the event viewer:-System - Provider [name] Microsoft-Windows-Kernel-Power [Guid] {331C3B3A-2005-44C2-AC5E-77220C37D6B4} event 41 Version 2 level 1 task Opcode 0 keywords 0 63 ID x 8000000000000002 - TimeCreated [SystemTime] 2013-01 - 21 T 18: 52:05.392015600Z EventRecordID 12512 correlation - execution [ProcessID] 4 [ThreadID] 8 channels computer system Kasutaja-PC - security [UserID] S-1-5-18 - EventData BugcheckCode 278 BugcheckParameter1 0xfffffa80080424e0 BugcheckParameter2 0xfffff880015aaaf4 BugcheckParameter3 0 x 0 BugcheckParameter4 0 x 2 SleepInProgress fake PowerButtonTimestamp 0

This BSOD could be linked to the power options?

Yes. No guarantee, but when playing system emphasizing games that you want to use the High-Performance option.
The other options are there to help extend a battery charge, but you can not expect to
play these games on the battery (for long), or without as much power as possible.
Your graphics for laptops is certainly capable.

  • Fallout3, complete Crash, whenever I play the game

    Whenever I launch Fallout 3, it wont let me play for about 5-10 minutes (I timed havn't, but it seems to be pretty random) and then the computer will turn off by itself. It happens with some other games that I tried as well, but so browesing im internet or fun with a broweser-based game, everything will work fine as long as I'm leaving the computer or until I have play Fallout 3 or other games.

    Windows 7 Home Edition:
    Processor: Intel Core 2Quad CPU Q8200 2.33 GHz 2.34 GHz
    RAM: 8,00 (3.25 usable) GB
    System: 32-bit operating system

    Oh! And I play the game on a bass-model system that has run the game using only basic graphics and it does not. This computer is high, along with the game and more than double its needs.

    Also, I got the computer checked and re-checked carefully manually and with Norton antivirus, and everything is clean in all areas.

    I can't find the answer anywhere, please help.

    I heard about what past a lot actually. In addition, this game is BUUUUUGY.
    People have tried a number of things to fix it and who knows what will work for you. I will list what I found (in no particular order)

    • Reset your default controls
    • Reinstall .NET Framework (because Fallout 3 apparently installs a Beta version on your machine - which is just nasty)
    • Delete some/all of your saved games
    • Update your drivers
    • Update directX
    • Make sure that the value of transparency in low water
    • Make sure that the game is patched
    • Disable all mods
    • Update your audio driver (if the last update doesn't work, try the beta version if you feel lucky)

    I wish there was something I could tell you, but it could be really huuuuge several things...

  • Re: Satellite L550-11J - crashes if I play a game

    Modell Nr.: PSLN8E - 012013GR
    Installed: Windows Vista Ultimate 64-bit (all readers to the latest version)

    Hello
    I assume that my L550 main fan does not run correctly.
    For example, I want to play a game of detail with DX10, every thing works perfectly without lag, but after 1 to 5 minutes, the system becomes slower and slower until the game crashes to the desktop.
    Then when I'm on the desktop the trys L550... to cool at the end dear BIOS ;-).
    I had the same problems with similar games and even compared to the indicators.

    So my question is: is there a unoffical BIOS update that will support fan control options? I already have the latest version of the BIOS, but it's not. Or is there still a software that works very well with L550?

    Best regards, Amir.

    Hello

    Just a question: what display driver you are using?
    As far as I know your laptop is equipped with ATI HD4650 graphics card and therefore, you need to download the latest driver on Toshiba page:
    http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com > support & downloads > download drivers

    Also what operating system are you using? It is the preinstalled operating system from Toshiba?

    If you use Windows Vista, you can change the cooling method in Vista Power Management. Set the cooling option and try again.
    It work?

    For some reason that I was constantly blue screen crashes whenever I'm playing Fallout New Vegas on my computer. I'm positive my computer takes care of everything, I will list the specs below. He broke down twice today while I played for a good two and a half hours before the first, but then when I rebooted and went back into the game, he has frozen almost immediately so I ended the process.

  • Screen on Qosmio G30-153 froze playing a game

    I got my new laptop for a little over 7 weeks now and it crashed. While playing a game (Need for speed most wanted) the frozen screen and the only way I could turn off the laptop was by disconnecting the battery.

    After that, every time that you start the machine, the fan comes on but nothing happens. I took the laptop back to the officer and said that the motherboard must be replaced.

    Apparently, the machine will work with an external monitor. Any reason, why this happened and this never occurred before on these models?

    When you start the laptop have you tried to switch to the screen of laptop using FN + F5 key combination?

    Use the Qosmio G30 for about 3 months and never noticed anything similar to play different games.

  • iTunes 12.3.3.17 crashes after playing the song for about 30 seconds

    Hello!

    I have a problem, I'm fighting currently to solve - iTunes 12.3.3.17 iTunes crashes after playing the song for about 30 seconds.

    I already tried things:

    (1) the preferences removed from the library, so that they can be recreated - did not work;

    (2) reinstalled iTunes - not worked;

    (3) removed freshly installed Bitdefender Antivirus for Mac - did not help.

    Product: Macbook Air

    OS X El Capitan

    I receive the following information in the log file

    ===============================================================

    Crashed thread: queue main iTunes shipping 0: com.apple.main - wire

    Exception type: EXC_BAD_ACCESS (SIGSEGV)

    Exception codes: KERN_INVALID_ADDRESS at 0 x 0000000000000011

    Note the exception: EXC_CORPSE_NOTIFY

    Can you help me please?

    elina_j,

    It seems that your iTunes software seems to be stop unexpectedly when you play the music back after about 30 seconds or more. First, I would check to see if there are errors on the disc that need repair:

    Disk utility (El Capitan): a disc repair

    Once the repair and verification done go ahead and test the issue again. If that fixes it, then great! If this is not the case, however, I would then remove third-party plug-ins that may interfere with the operation of iTunes:

    Test with iTunes plug-ins removed.

    • Quit iTunes.
    • Mac OS X:
      • ~/Library/iTunes/iTunes Plug-ins(The "~" represents your home folder)
      • /Library/iTunes/iTunes Plug-ins
    • If all the files in this folder, move it to the desktop temporarily.
    • Open iTunes and test to see if the problem is resolved. If so, you can leave these plug-ins removed iTunes. If you want to reuse these iTunes plug-ins, check with the supplier of iTunes plug-ins to see if updates are available.

    From: iTunes: may crash when you plug in the iPhone, iPad or iPod touch

    If the problem is still there after removing the plugins or there is none to remove, then you must then create a new library, add content to it and see if the problem persists it:

    Open a different iTunes library file or create a

    Mac

    1. If iTunes is running, quit iTunes.
    2. Hold down the Option key when you open iTunes.
    3. You will see a message that says choose iTunes library. Depending on what you want to do, choose Create or choose library.

    Now if the problem is still not resolved then you can create a new user admin on your computer and test it there too well?

    OS X El Capitan: set up users on your Mac.

    Add a user

    1. Choose the Apple menu > System Preferences, and then click users and groups.

    2. Click on the lock icon to unlock, then enter an administrator name and password.

    3. Click on the button Add below the list of users.

    4. On the pop-up menu click new account, and then choose a user type.

    • Administrator: An administrator can add and manage other users, install applications, and change the settings. The new user that you create when you set up your Mac is an administrator. Your Mac can have multiple administrators. You can create new ones and convert standard users to administrators. Don't set up the automatic connection to an administrator. If you do, someone could simply restart your Mac and access with administrator privileges. To secure your Mac, don't share administrator names and passwords.

  • Enter a display name for the new user. An account name is automatically generated. To use a different account name, enter it now, you can't change it later.

  • Enter a password for the user, and then enter again to verify. Using an index of password is recommended to help the user remember the password.

  • Click on create user.

  • The result of the new user will determine what we then so let us know how it goes! Thank you for using communities of Apple Support.

  • Satellite A500-1DN - crashing everything by playing games

    Hi all

    About 2 months ago, my friend bought a Toshiba satellite A500-1DN. After about 2 weeks, she decided to put 2 games on it (guildwars and jedi knight academy). We quickly realized that after about 1 hour of playing, the computer would crash to a black screen, rather than return to a blue screen of death. That meant there was no indication of what was causing the problem specifically and no dumps mini windows...
    Having trouble with these specific games myself on Windows 7, I thought about the games.

    A week later, she spent an hour watching videos to youtube to see his computer crashed in the same way as the game. So I put some on the computer diagnostic software. CPU / GPU overheating? But nothing, the temperatures are stable and supported and certainly wouldn t have been the cause of these accidents, unless I unfortunately missed the point where he did more heat cache-shoulders so I not outrule not he...
    Because of the problem it seems to be up to now video related, I downloaded the new nvidia drivers (unfortunately the official ones didn't work and I had to search a custom .inf file). It does not solve the problem, but the driver seemed to work adequately well.

    In our anger, we have sent it back stating that it would be cooling the laptop, that is to say of copper was not sufficient for the graphics card and Toshiba said they had cleaned up the computer until replaced thermal paste, typical stuff all... which seems very fair. We returned it. We played a game and it crashed within 10 minutes. Perhaps even worse than when he left.

    Is there anything that could cause this problem - video related activities causing crash computer without going to the BSOD or return specific errors. What is RAM? I even uninstalled protection HDD thinking it could be the source of compatibility problems.

    I need advice.

    The spec is:
    Intel core 2 DUO T6600 CPU 2.20 GHz processor
    NVIDIA Geforce GT 230M
    4 GB OF RAM

    Hello

    This only happens if you play games or Surf Internet, office, etc.. ?

    The games aren't supposed to, but if they are a bit older, they are not compatible with Windows 7 maybe. Did you check that?
    Also look for a patch for the games. You can get it on the site of the factory.

    In addition, it would be interesting to know what you get exactly the code bluescreen. For the most part the stop codes you can find more information on Microsoft Knowledge Base.

    In most cases these bluescreens correspond to the drivers or hardware. If all Toshiba drivers are installed, check the RAM with Memtest86 diagnostic tool.

    Good luck! :)

  • Qosmio X 500 - blue screen or system crash when you play

    I have problems with my new laptop.
    The laptop is a week and I get frequent blue screen errors and system crashes when you play.
    At this time I only tried to play a game: World of Warcraft.

    I have run on:
    The original that came pre-installed graphic drivers.
    The latest updated drivers from the Web from Toshiba site.
    The latest drivers for laptop on the Nvidia site.
    I also removed all the drivers and allowed Windows update to find it's own who have a different version again.

    In these four cases, drivers seem to work fine for a while, but will eventually stop responding and the system crash when I start to play a game.
    It happens shortly after the start of a game and other times it can happen after a few hours of game play.
    Sometimes it will result in a blue screen, sometimes the game will change from windows with the error message on the display driver does not.

    I also did a clean installation using my own copy of Windows 7 with the amount of the absolute minimum of software installed to rule anything that might cause a conflict which was preinstalled.

    I also tried to run to run the game in compatibility mode, although I had no problem with my laptop last run the game in Windows 7.

    The windows event log always indicates a problem with the graphics.

    Did someone else has similar problems or found a solution?
    For a laptop that is announced for the game, I would have thought that this kind of thing would not be a problem.

    Hey,.

    In my opinion, it has something to do with the display driver or the graphics card itself I always use the most recent display of the official website of Toshiba (NOT nvVidia) driver because they are pre-tested. If you install the latest driver from Toshiba.

    After this also make sure that you use the latest version of the BIOS. You can download on the official website of Toshiba too.

    I put t know how long you have your laptop, but it should be cleaned from time to time (3-4 months). Therefore, you can use jet of compressed air to blow off the dust.
