Hello,
I have been dealing with this for a long time by myself. I get a BSOD with this error every time I play a game. (TF2, CoX, CS:S,), and sometimes if Im just watching video. This seemed to happen when It was hot outside the most (no a/c). That was why I assumed it was a bum card and Ive been putting off saving for a new one. Anyway, I just moved into a new air conditioned place and Im still getting this issue. I Figured Id come see you guys about it.
my specs:
AsRock k8Upgrade-1689
AMD Athlon 64 3700+ 2.4Ghz
2x1Gb OCZ Platinum
BFG 6800GT OC
430w Generic PSU
500Gb W/D HDD
So, When I first got this computer I was getting this error And traced it to my CPU overheating so I switched to the ASRock Mobo and put an aftermarket cooler on. problem solved. Then I ended up trading a 7600Gs out for the 6800Gt (marginally better) and it started happening again so I took off the VGA cooler, applied some arctic silver to the GPU and RAM and slapped a 20" box fan where my side case cover should be. I still got the BSOD but not till after a good couple of hours of gaming. I traced that to my power supply going out and replaced it with the 430w generic. however its started happening again but this time it either dosent specify a file or its someting different every time. Also, its not showing up in event viewer.
I have the most current bios version and all current drivers installed.
What say you oh great gurus of tech spot?
