Several videogames to randomly lock up, crash to desktop or cause a BSOD

During the game Left 4 Dead, Left 4 Dead 2, Call of Duty: World and war and various other games, I did turn into a camera (full of audio interference), crashing to the desktop, or sometimes a BSOD that counts down with a memory dump (not IRQL level or otherwise). Usually no driver is listed at fault in the BSOD, and the event log generally don't even connect to games like crashing. However, once he did and a DirectX driver dxgmms1.sys was named as the culprit. I know that my DirectX is up to date. Games with a "clean boot", as described in these forums do not solve the problem. A diagnosis of memory comes back well. Checking files to play on all games returns without error. Scanning disc also comes back green.

I've been running Windows 7 64 bit for several months now. I use a Nvidia GeForce GTX 275 video card and 4 GB of RAM, processor AMD Phenom quad-core and many fans to start. I frequently crawl those up manually in the game to make sure everything stays cold. most of the time my CPU and GPU are about 50 degrees Celsius mid-game. It was after I tried to beat the graphics settings much lower than what my rig should be able to make and same underclocking my GPU.

My drivers are up to date, and I've tried several different versions (played a bit with them using 'Update Driver', 'Disk', and using the drivers downloaded from the site Web of Nvidia. I tried to reformat my computer because these accidents can be very annoying - sometimes I can play a good match of two hours without too much problem, other times I can't have five minutes without an accident. Crawling on the Internet seem to find a good amount of people also for similar problems, but their solutions do not seem to have helped.

I have not tried without downgrading to Vista 64 - bit is there a possibility that can help (even though I really want to do)? I am about to start my system piece by piece RMAing if there are no solutions.

Thanks for your reply, james luther. These games are not very old (left 4Dead 2 was mid-November just came out), but despite this I know games may not always be compatible. However, a lot of people running L4D2 on Windows 7 without problem.

I do not end this problem methodically removing the connected devices and the RAM sticks and test the installation in a brute force manner. It took me several hours, but I found that the problem seems to be tied to a stick of RAM. Taking one of my two RAM sticks allows me to play continuously for several hours last night without any blocking.

  • 64 bit sytem with vista home premium which has been randomly locking up and freezing. The error is event 6008.

    I have an ACER aspire x 3200 64 bit sytem with vista home premium which has been randomly locking up and freezing. The only mistakes were event 6008 with a description of the stop system prior to (time) on (date) was not planned.
    When these errors originally occurred, I returned the system to acer and they installed a new hard drive. After updating the vista system blockages continue 30 times over a period of 3 months. Acer sent me a new disk image on 3 disks that I have installed and updated on 11 October. There is no blocking until the 10/27, 10/28, and for the 3rd time today.
    The closed unexpected gives a blue screen if I use the locking system to the top. I have to hold the power to restart when the system crashes.
    Can someone help me solve this problem?

    Do you know when this problem started?  Try a system restore to a point in time BEFORE the problem started.  Here is the procedure: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/using-windows-vista-system-restore/.  Don't forget to check the box to show more than 5 days of restore points.  If the first attempt fails, then try an earlier point or two.  NOTE: You will need to re - install any software and updates that you have installed between now and the restore point, but you can use Windows Update for updates.  But I guess it's too late for this for so long that there are probably no so old restore points.

    If the system restore does not work, do a startup repair, boot from the disk Installation of Windows Vista genuine (or one that you can borrow from someone) or a recovery disc.  Here is the procedure: http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tutorials/tutorial148.html.  You may need to change the BIOS to do first the CD drive in the boot sequence to boot from the CD.  To do this, hold the screen that tells you the key F to push to enter the menu start or start of installation.  Push it quickly. Make the changes, save your work and exit.  Put the CD in the drive and reboot.  When you are prompted, press any key to boot from the CD.

    If you do not have a floppy disk, you can make a bootable recovery disk by using http://neosmart.net/blog/2008/windows-vista-recovery-disc-download/ with burning software like: http://www.snapfiles.com/get/active-isoburner.html and, of course, a blank CD.

    If this does not work, try to start in safe mode (repeatedly hit F8 key so that the start and go in safe mode with networking).  Then we will check some of your system files:

    Go to start / all programs / accessories / command prompt and right click on command prompt, and then click Run as administrator.

    Type sfc/scannow, go and let it run.  It will scan and try to correct some of your system files.  If all goes well he comes complete with no corruption, it could not repair (if it has these post of corruption here or try to analyze it to find the problem or files using http://support.microsoft.com/kb/928228.

    While in the command prompt, type chkdsk /f /r and enter and let it run.  It will scan and try to solve any corruption or bad sectors on your hard drive and remove especially as a cause.

    If this does not work, then please post repetitive errors in Event Viewer on the stop (Start / Control Panel / administrative tools / Event Viewer).  Here's how to use Event Viewer: http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/topic40108.html.  From what I understand, there is none of the events (which surprises me because a freeze should certainly generate an error event).

    If this does not work, you will need to do a repair/system upgrade using the Windows Vista Installation disc authentic (you own or that you can borrow from someone).  Here is the procedure: http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/88236-repair-install-vista.html as well as the upgrade from an earlier version of the Windows section of the following: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/918884.  Although this will not affect your data, settings or programs, you should always back up your data before you start just be on the safe side. If other procedures do not work, it is almost certain to work (but you NEED a disc).  You can have a lot of updates to re - install (including all you need to remove service packs).  If the version on system with SP1 or SP2 preinstalled cane and the disc is an earlier version, then you will need to do a slipstream drive as follows: http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/151606-vista-sp1-slipstream-installation-dvd.html.

    I hope one of these procedures can solve your problem.  If this isn't the case, after return and we will try something else.  Return message anyway so we know how it turns out.

    Good luck!

  • Use of system high - random, TFP causes a BSOD.

    Original title: System high use

    Hey Microsoft:

    Software can dominate the system resources?   I have a program which, lately, seems to want to use all system resources to the point of view of a BSOD.   Unfortunately, there is no way to post a screenshot of the Task Manager.  So I ask on manually in this post.

    Username name image CPU Memory (Private working set) Description

    Taskmgr.exe Gary S...        00 2 112 K Windows Task Manager

    PTF 16PRO.exe Gary S...       TurboFloorPlan3D 00 212 172 K

    Winlogon.exe 00 1 896 K

    Any software that I run... IE11, Google Earth, Photoshop Elements, works fine.  But at random times, TFP causes a BSOD.  BAD_POOL_HEADER sometimes, sometimes other random messages. Sometimes, this software will work correctly, but when I click the X (to close), usually I'll take the option to SAVE.  Sometimes it will just stop, and will display the BSOD.  If my CPU / RAM goes bad, why who is not performing OTHER software?    I tried to reinstall the TFP, where the initial installation has not "installed" correctly.    And, if this software is not compatible with my Windows 7 Pro 32 bit, then it would not operate in first place.    I thought to do a total reinstall of Windows7.  But, the last time I did this, the FORMAT option on the disk version would not allow me to FORMAT my hard drive, just DELETE the partition only. Which could explain the instability of my copy of Windows 7.   If my thinking is correct, then THIS time, while still in Windows 7, put in my CD Player installation disc, FORMAT my hard drive.  Restart the disk, then go through the process of re - install... correct?     Advice?

  • Computer crashes / stutters quicky several times at random

    It is quite random, I play on Steam, videos YouTube, Aol mail I've had for years. Its a powerful system that I can do everything without a problem. But the only problem I have is that it freezes randomly for a few times a fraction of a second.  He can do it again an hour or do not do until the next day.  Before I reinstalled it I had occasional memory dumps, I did a test of memory and he continued on the desk without saying anything.

  • After you apply Windows XP - SP3 post upmedia locks or crashes or both

    I have a HP Pavilion a1420n (Media Center) and Pavilion HP laptop also with Media Center, after applyig SP3 the HP Pavillion locked up and crashed.  After 4 tries to apply the updates, it crashed twice, locked up once and was not able to backup or restore.  I was able to get SP3 to apply the Media Center, but it does not start I need help, I am not a technician.

    OK, if the system was to SP2 before you apply SP3, then you have updated such as advised by Microsoft. I did a bit of research on this subject and even if you aren't alone, I couldn't find a definitive answer. Another contributor to this thread (ElderL/Jose) could help. If Jose can help, your problem is definitely a 'hard' nut

    Unlike Jose, I have MCE and although I tried, I was unable to reproduce your problem.

    My best advice for a possible solution is to do a clean install. I've published some guidelines here...

  • Several virtual machines being locked

    Using View 4 here and every day when I come in, there is at least one user who cannot access their VM, 'the source of funds attributed is not available... ". ».

    Our display configuration is currently just a standalone ESX 4 box that manages these clients to view. We have other clients to view a cluster and we have not seen this issue, but the customers on the cluster are not used as often as the autonomous zone.

    So, again, it is the classic question of "virtual machine is locked.

    Here's what I've done so far:

    1 open the virtual machine in the vSphere client: "cannot connect to the mks: vmx connection contact has failed."

    2 vmware-cmd - s unregister

    -tired saving in vSphere once again, without love, the same error...

    12 gave up, restarted the ESX box, fixedit!

    -another machine but now is to show the same problems... Sigh...

    Any help/advice would be great...

    You don't mention this patch you enjoy, but it sounds like the question that we knew before loading the latest patches for ESX.

    Make sure that you have patched your ESX servers for March 2010 cumulative hotfix:

  • Several new icons on lock screen wallpaper

    My Mini2 iPad with iOS 9.2 shows three icons not identified on the bottom of the lock screen, as shown below. They are in the lower left corner, Center, above the drag bar, & bottom right behind the camera corner. I disabled the Apps suggested, but this has no effect.  These icons are not sensitive to the touch or make slide and disappear once the screen is unlocked. See all these?

    So how are they here, and what applications of functions do belong to?  How are they useful for me?

    Bill S.

    Looks like they have been added to the screen used for the lock screen background image. Try to change your lock screen background and see if the icons disappear.

  • Satellite P10 - 792 lock ups / crashes and battery

    I used my P10 792 even since I bought it 3 years ago. S there was a decreasing battery box that appears on my screen (sometimes) say I should replace the badly inserted battery and restart my computer. If there is also a problem mouse touch pad. He touchpad doesn't respond well to orders while he was trying to move the pointer.

    The battery alarm message usually comes with the dysfunction of the touchpad. I have to press ESC to restore the touchpad back to normality and close the application of process Btrychkr.exe under the menu CTRL + ALT + DELETE to make the gibbous Moon box to disappear.

    But the main and most recently problem are blockages, especially when running programs that require a video grand advanced such as 3D games and DVDs. The screen freezes for several seconds, and then he comes back to life. This is sometimes followed by a sudden stop down.

    Finally, when I try to turn it on, it doesn't even get to loading windows before it stops again, and so on. So I have to wait several minutes before pushing on the button again. Now, we have reached a critical situation where the computer won t last more than 10 minutes before its shutdown automatically without notice. There is no error message so I don't see what is the cause of the problem. (Battery? Overheating?)

    It is also important to note that one of my friends with a series of P10 also had these same problems and finally had to buy a new one because the laptop has been just the hand. I fear me comes with the same situation of m.

    How can I solve this problem?
    I would really appreciate the help.
    Thank you

    Hello

    You you use laptop for 3 years. You replace the battery during this 3 years?
    Isn't it? I think it would be a good idea to replace the battery.
    Usually after about 500 times of loading and unloading procedures the performance of the battery goes down and the life time decreases

    Additional during those 3 years, the laptop needs to be cleaned. Fans suck dirt and dust and sometimes cooling modules cannot turn with maximum performance and can not cool the CPU and other devices.
    Of course, the overheating could be a reason for your shutdown problems

    Looks like you haven t much experience so I think someone with more experience (technician) is recommended to clean the notebooks cooling modules
