Hello All,

I'm having an issue when playing games, no issues when I'm not playing games. There is no consistency on this issue. Sometimes I can play for hours without any problems, then other times I crash 4 times in an hour. I can't seem to figure out if a driver is out of date or a hardware issue. See below link to my most recent memory dump I have. Any help/information would be greatly appreciated!

I don't know if this applies to you. but I've had that error when some of my HDD cables were a just bit loose. Try replugging them and see if it fixes the problem.

Well I'm looking at your specs and notice you have 2 different kinds of ram in there have you tried to run it with just one set and see if it occurs? Also how hot and is your pc dirty heat can make funny things happen to a pc and as said above check your connections in your pc make sure everything is snug and on properly.

I checked all of my connections and they are good. GPU and CPU are running normal temperatures. I'll try just running it with one set of RAM and see what happens.

Changed out the RAM, still the same issue. It actually got worse when I took out the 4 gigs of ballistix. Went from disconnecting once every couple to minutes to as soon as I logged into Dota. Dota is the only game I'm really experiencing this crashing issue with if that helps. Most of the time the game will crash with no error message at all and just go straight back to my desktop. The BSOD's are a little less frequent now and its more of what I just described, straight to the desktop.

Boot into bios and make sure your RAM is set to the right frequency. I was having the same problem while playing GTA5 Online and RUST, but then I realized my RAM was set to 2k something when it was supposed to be 1600MHz. This seems to have fixed the problem for me, but its only been one day without blue screens so we'll see.

I haven't checked this yet but I was playing for a couple hours today and my computer has hit a new low. I have seen 7-8 different BSOD error messages now. Most of them being different every time. I tried running my computer with different video cards and swapping the RAM, that didn't help anything. I eventually got to where I couldn't even type in my windows password before it blue screened again. That sort of leads me to believe that its some sort of over heating issue. Or is the hard drive bad? I'm at a loss at this point. I think my next step needs to be try a different hard drive. Any help/suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Blue screen error messages I've seen over the past couple days:

page fault in non paged area
kmode exception not handled
unexpected store exception
unexpected kernel mode trap
IRQL not less or equal
system service exception
system thread exception not handled
driver overran stack buffer
