Hey all,
Since few weeks I'm having some problems with my PC. Usually when I'm playing UnrealTournament 1999 :lol: I have played many games and everything goes ok (Battlefield 3,4 etc)

Crash adress - ntoskrnl.exe+4ade0c .
PC Config
CPU: AMD Phenom II X4 840
RAM: 4,00GB 1333Mhz Elixir
MB: ASUSTeK Computer INC. M4N68T-M-LE-V2 (AM3)
Graphic: AMD Radeon HD 6870 1GB
HDD: Seagate ST310005


Ekhmm, what can I else say? If you have any question just say, and if you want I'll upload minidump etc.

I hope you will help me diagnose my problem 😉
 


it's likely the system is overheating. have you checked the ventilation and the fans to see if they are in working order and there is no dust present? Your motherboard and CPU might be defective as well.
 
You can also check your drivers to see if any generic drivers were installed in device manager. If it's been awhile since you updated your drivers, one by one go down the list and make sure your drivers are up to date.
 
All drivers are installed.
Theres no !*boing* sign.
I have the newest drivers.

Edit.
I cleaned my PC few days ago.
I cleaned all fans, including CPU, added fans on my tower.
I didnt clear MB radiator, because i couldnt remove it.
Btw. it looks its clean.

Edit.2
Why overheating? It's strange because my PC always work well while I'm playing games that require much (As I said - Battlefield 3,4, Colin Dirt 2,3 and many others.
 


try following these directions and paste the logs

A 0x00000124 stop code is 99%+ processor related. It could be due to overheating, overclocking, or over/under voltage.

....I didnt clear MB radiator, because i couldnt remove it.
Btw. it looks its clean...
Find a way to clean it. A thin layer of dust/dirt that looks alright visually is enough to reduce the cooling factor by as much as 50% or more.
 
Follow the directions that come with the paste. Normally a rice grain size bit in the middle of the CPU heat spreader, then apply the heat sink. You do not need much, just enough to fill in any grooves or scratches in the two surfaces, any more than that will actually act more like an insulator.
 
if you post the memory dump on the cloud with public access I will look and tell you why the system called the bugcheck.
Or you can connect with a windows debugger use the !errrec command on the address of the WHEA_ERROR_RECORD structure.

Sometimes on a older system you might just find that the voltage regulator to the CPU is allowing the voltage to the CPU to drop too low(or go too high) and the CPU starts to get cache memory errors and calls the bugcheck. (sometimes a thermal issue, sometimes a power supply issue, sometimes a voltage regulator issue but you might be able to increase (or decrease) the voltage to the CPU via the BIOS. Something to think about anyway.

 
Hey all, I reinstalled my windows and installed just graphic driver.
After 15 min - BSOD, but it wasn't blue screen, but black, http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/answers/id-2005470/black-screen.html like here, is it strange?

Btw.
I think that solution can be AMD Catalyst Driver, why?
Because when BSOD showed up I turned my PC off using the same button which i turn on my PC (My PC doesn't turn off when BSOD shows, but in options I set that it should turn off). Guess what happened, black screen got away and I saw "Windows 7 - shutting down". That must be that driver! Don't you think?

I'm waiting for your advice 😉
