    My PC freezes while playing COD4 (good game) followed by BSOD. What is wrong?
    Thx

    I'm sorry but I'm no good at mini dumps. But I have fixed a lot of computers. When I get the mini dump/BSOD situation, I start with hardware. Check each piece of hardware. Luckily I have hung on to several PC's over time. Good to have a working AGP based machine with 400 mhz ram. Also one with DDR 2 and a PCI-e slot. This way I can check ram...video cards...power supplies...hard discs....everything. If no components fail I throw the board in a case and load it up and check that. Does your PC play other games OK? Did this just start? Any recent mods to the machine just before this started? Has this PC been working awhile or did you just build it? Check ram one by one. There's a lot more but I'm starting to hit all the wrong keys (again).....G'Luck

    Try updating the video card drivers. All three crashes are caused by them.
