Computer gets the BSOD when i try to play games

[John Goings]

When ever I try to play games it doesnt matter if its a computer game or a facebook game after a while I get the BSOD but I can watch youtube videos and whatever else without a problem.
when it BSOD's it says "A clock interrupt was not received on a secondary processor within the allocated time interval".
The system is not Over clocked. I assumed it was the GPU but now im not so sure.

Okay... Go to C:\windows\minidump. Minidump files have a .dmp extension. Select all the .dmp files. Right-click sending the files to a compressed(zipped)folder. Upload that folder as a file here

 

[John Goings]

Ok here you go. the ones from 2011 was my video card I fixed it when it happened now this one im not sure.

 

[KaioL]

The BIOS on your motherboard looks old. Maybe an BIOS update might fix your problem.

 

[John Goings]

Ok how would I go about that? Also how is it an MSI MoBo with AMI Bios?

 

[John Goings]

Will the live 5 update tool work?

 

[Tmagic650]

Maybe, the newest minidumps point to a memory or hard drive issue. The old video card problem could have corrupted the hard drive. Look here for more info:

[John Goings]

Ok I am at work right now so I will do it when I get home tonight. should I update bios first tmagic or do what the thread you posted suggests?

 

[Tmagic650]

Save the bios update for last

 

[John Goings]

Ok so I did everything the post suggested memtest passed. not overheating. nothing so I updated the bios started minecraft 7 minutes later BSOD saying "IRQL not less or equal" something different means were are making progress right? uploaded the minidump

 

[Tmagic650]

Test the hard drive by going to Computer, and right-click on the C drive. Select Properties, Tools, check now. Put a check mark in both boxes to set a disk check on the next start up

 

[John Goings]

Ok took a LONG time. I believe it said no errors found. does it make a log?

 

[Tmagic650]

Yes it makes a log but it is not important... Just see if the BSOD's improve or stop altogether

 

[John Goings]

BSOD in 7 minutes so about the same. this time it said tried to execute from non executable memory

 

[Tmagic650]

Test the memory using Memtest86:
http://www.memtest.org/
Version 4.20 Run 7 passes, no errors

 

[John Goings]

What do you mean by 7 passes? 7 full tests? I ran it once too 100% with no errors

 

[Tmagic650]

7 full passes. Each pass has several tests. One pass is not enough.

 

[John Goings]

I didnt have a chance to do this yesterday I will do it when I get home tonight. By letting the test run to an overall 100% isnt that more than 7 passes?

 

[Tmagic650]

Could be depending on how much memory is installed and the speed of the CPU

 

[John Goings]

Ok did it no change

 

[Tmagic650]

Post any new BSOD's...

 

[John Goings]

Sorry been a bit busy with work lately. the 2 latest BSOD's were "A clock interrupt was not received on a secondary processor within the allocated time interval".

 

[Tmagic650]

Same error as you started with... GPU or a power supply problem now
