BSOD Does not happen during a specific event. It's seemingly random, and can happen on the desktop watching a video, or in the middle of a game intense on cpu requirements.
[cpp]The errors I see from this BSOD: I can't post any dumps because I just reformatted as a last resort.
-IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL
-DXGMMS1.SYS
-A message about an attempt was made to access read only memory or..something..
-It's a different error msg each time
There were a couple more, but I can't remember what they were. I'll post when I remember. [/cpp]
I'm not sure where to post this, but I'm pretty sure it's either my mobo or my memory, so i'll post it here. Here's the story, i'll make it short. I was gaming on windows xp for ages. I bought a computer back in 2005 (maybe it was 2006..) whenever the 7900 gtx came out. Was using a 7900 gtx and an e8400 stock for a few years after that. I made a gigantic upgrade from 7900 to an ati 4890 this last christmas -- still, I have no issues, never had a BSOD in my life. On my birthday in January, I upgraded to Windows 7 home premium 64 bit, of course I bought 4gb of new 1066 mhz ram to go with it.
This is when the BSOD started. With windows 7 and the new ram. How could W7 cause a BSOD? I'm most certain it's my memory, only started after I bought it.
Here is the steps I've taken:
-Flashed and updated my BIOS to F6, newest version -- First time doing this, and it worked okay.
-Updated motherboard drivers -- Never done this until now, but BSOD still occurs periodically.
-Switched to 10.4a ATI gpu drivers -- It fixes the loading time in Bad Company 2 for me.
-Swapped the dual channel ram to different slots -- yellow to red, you can see I'm desperate.
-Checked to make sure nothing is overheating. I have hardware monitor on my second monitor while I'm gaming, nothing goes above 70c -- My 4890 goes to about 75-79 during Starcraft 2 though.
-Changed HPET in bios to 64-bit. It was on 32 bit for some reason.
-Cleaned all of the dust out. lol
I have no idea how to do a memory test, do I have to burn it to a cd -_- my burner is so messed up I don't think it'll work. Bringing my computer into the local computer hardware store for them to do some diagnostics for me to see what's wrong is out of the question (they are actually very good, nothing but goodness comes from their magical hands) I do all my work from my computer in addition to gaming, and I can't go without my PC for more than a day, unless I want to get fired. I'm going on vacation in August but I can't wait that long. 1. I don't want my computer to crash from this waiting that long. 2. it's driving my crazy.
My computer is virus free. It's scanned daily with Malwarebytes and Avast! internet security. Posting DXDiag bellow this message. Should I just go buy new memory? Is there a good chance this will fix my issues? The DXGMMS1 BSOD Is a directx crash from a little research, could my 4890 be crap? Sorry for a long message, this is a complicated issue lol.
Thank you.
