Different BSOD when playing or closing games.

[mathew.mitrica]

I've been getting BSODs for a while now, but at this point they just became insufferable. I usually get BSODs when playing or exiting games but it can also sometimes happen when my computer is idle.

All of my drivers are up to date and reinsalling Windows isn't an option right now.

Here are the dump files, each with a differend bug check string:

cpu was released Q3'12
your bios is dated april 2012
you should update the bios to the current version. since it might not have the correct default settings for your cpu. (cpu microcode updates would have overroad the bios but over time the updates might assume you have updated the bios and not provide the old updates)
(i do not see the windows intel microcode patch being loaded as a device driver, you should update the bios to get the CPU patches)

if you are not using this you might want to remove.

windows maintains a list of what is currently in memory (ram) and what is moved from ram to virtual memory (pagefile.sys) when something has not been used for some time the system will take it out of RAM but when it was working on this the list was not correct and it resulted in this bugcheck.

I would suspect some issue with this driver: (but I don't know)
UsbDk.sys Thu Apr 6 10:43:10 2017
this driver could mess up the list also:
SCSI Pass Through Direct Host - Daemon Tools
sptd2.sys Tue Feb 23 00:25:39 2016
(anything that is non standard for the storage driver would be suspect)

you might disable it or maybe run verifier to see if it is doing something incorrectly.
you should also change the memory dump to kernel so the proper debug info is saved so it can be debugged.

The 2 drivers you pointed out were not even working. Uninstalling both seems to have fixed the issue, for now at least. My motherboard is fairly old (built when Vista was the latest Windows) and I couldn't find any newer bios updates.

I'll come back to this thread if the problem comes back.

Many thanks for your help!
