Random BSODs every 3-4 days..

well i have never had a problem with doing that it has never messed anything up for me and it is what fixed the same exact problem as you have. so maybe you could at least try it to get one more thing out of the way. and if it does somehow mess it up you can just do a recovery or system restore.

Well today's been a week now that i haven't had a single bsod with my friend's RAM. So i guess i will return my RAM on warranty. As for the freezing problem i don't know how to fix that, but it didn't occur again yet.

Good to hear BlackAzrael. I wouldn't be suprised if your freezing problem was due to your faulty RAM.

Well i don't know because i got a freeze when i first used my friend's RAM but yeah i'll return my memory. Hopefully it's not too much of a hassle. It's the first time i return something on the manufacturer's warranty.

Okay, it just froze again a few minutes ago and this time i was on windows xp pro 32-bit.

Any help or info on this problem?

Note that my blue screens problems are gone tough, so that's one major thing fixed

First, glad the BSODs are gone! Second, when it freezes are you doing anything in particular or they just random?

Hmmm well, of the 3 times it happened, it was all in games (the first time in killing floor, second in borderlands and this afternoon in diablo 1 lol).

So i bet it would be my graphics card.....that would suck tough....

I'm thinking more along the lines of video card drivers.

Well, i have the latest nvidia drivers...

You might want to roll back to see if that does the job. This step has worked for many people.

OK....do you have any suggested versions, like popular ones? And could you guide me trough removing video drivers cleanly?

If that can help and i didn't say it yet, i have a GeForce 9800GTX+ 512mb.
Thanks!

I already did a scan and repair with TuneUp Utilities, and it's not blue screens i'm having, it just freezes. But i guess the dump might help...

Is it the .dmp file in C:\windows\system32\minidump ? If so i'll post it later after school then.

It is, posting it shall be helpful in for people here to identify problem(s) you may have.

@ BlackAzrael, I suggest doing the following...

1. Download Driver Cleaner Pro or Driver Sweeper (both have free versions; make sure it is for your OS) to your desktop screen and install.

2. Download the latest diver(s) -- or in your case the previous driver -- for your video card but don't install them.

3. Uninstall your video card drivers and reboot your PC into Safe Mode. Run Driver Cleaner Pro or Driver Sweeper. If it doesn't find any video card drivers that is quite okay.

4. Reboot and install new video card drivers.

Alright, i just did that on both windows 7 and windows xp. So, i'm now using version 190.62 instead of 196.21.

I guess now i'll just have to wait and see. I will give you news on how it goes.

Edit : oh and it seems the last computer freeze didn't make a minidump.

Okay, here is hoping the problem is resolved. Look forward to your latest report.

Yep, and thanks for all the help so far. You guys rocks! I've never had this much help on a forum before

We aim to please. Seriously, we glad we could help.

Damn, it just froze again in diablo 1 x_x

I fear it's the video card.....which would suck.

Edit : There was one thing weird, i was on teamspeak at the same time playing my game when it froze. And i waited a bit more during the freeze and i could hear my brother speaking still but i couldn't do anything at all and it was of course doing a repeated bugged-like sound, like it hanged.

I am wondering if we need to look at a whole new other area such as your NIC/internet connections/hardware/software.
