Hello -
I am getting numerous BSODs while running LOTRO on my Win7 PC. I have run the Windows Memory Test (50 passes) and ScanDisk and everything checks out. At this point I am wondering if something is wrong with my video card. I am certainly no pro at debugging this stuff, so any advice you may have would be greatly appreciated.
PC SPECS
- Win 7 x64 Ultimate
- Intel Core2 6600 @ 2.4 GHz
- 4GB RAM
- Nvidia GeForce GTX260 Video Card
- Creative SB X-Fi Sound Card
HISTORY
- I built this PC around spring 2007 (I think)
- In summer of 2008 my system memory failed due to overheating because a fan cable was accidentally detached when I cleaned the case. I replaced the RAM and everything seemed fine for a while.
- In July 2009 my old video card (GTS-8600 I think) flaked out and I replaced it with the GTX260 I have now
- In Feb 2010 I started having the same problem I have now, random BSOD when I play LOTRO that become more frequent over time. I rolled back via system restore several times and the problem got better but did not go away. chkdsk found corrupted files and fixed them and at that point I was looking to move to Win7 anyway so I wiped Vista and installed Win7.
- All was fine for about 4-6 weeks until now
TESTS SO FAR
Windows Memory Diagnostic - 50 passes overnight = no issues
Checkdisk = no issues
MemTest86+ - 2 passes so far = no issues
sfc /scannow = no issues
Ran defrag and recreated page file as described in sticky thread

I tried running the x64 version of windbg but for some reason cannot seem to get the symbols to work correctly (tried using Win7 RTM x86 Retail, Win7 RTM Itanium Retail and Win7 RTM x64 Retail and none of them work). Details of the dmp file are in the next post (file is larger than allowed attachment size and I cut out a number of the identical sections about having the wrong symbols)
