blue screens while playing games

[clmlbx]

My config is :-

Intel core 2 duo E4300
intel org. board d946gzis
1 gb ddr2 ram

problem is when ever I play gta sa , nfs underground, cricket 2007 or any other games after some time ofplay my computer gives that blue screen and then i have to restart the computer and this is very annoying .

I have latest drivers and directx installed .

so pls help

[kaustav_geek]

There can be several reasons.
1.)

intel org. board d946gzis

Your on-board graphics may not be able to cope up with the load.
2.)Your RAM is corrupt.
3.)Your PSU is not able to bear the work-load.
4.)Poor ventilation and overheating of the CPU.

Now, post the details of your CPU temps, PSU wattage.
Also, try uninstalling you Graphics drivers & directX and then re-installing them.

I Just Bought All Three Items.

This Is Only With Games Other Wise It Runs Very Well

IT RUNS VISTA WITH AERO VERY WELL .

Do u hav any cards installed ,like tv tuner or modems ten remove them n chk
Does ur video card and anyother device share same irq

[clmlbx]

I have tv tuner card installed

but I don't have grafix card

BLUE SCREEN ALLWAYS CONTAIN

Physical Memory Dump

[zyberboy]

Then remove tv tuner and try..
Your grf card is inbuilt.

On Board Grafix

Can There Be Problem With Hard-disk

[assasin]

^^^ dont think hdd is the prob here.

[clmlbx]

There Is Allways

physical Memory Dumping In Blue Screen

YES, I TOO THINK HDD IS NOT A problem

I checked it with hdd life and it shows 50 degree temp ,50% health and excellent performance .

[assasin]

50c for hdd is pretty high temp.
wat bout temp of mobo and proccy?

hdd temp is high. Also, check your RAM... This error occurs when you have a corrupt memory location .. I suppose you have dual 512 mB DDR2 sticks right ??
Remove either of them and check each of them one by one.... If the error flashes in both cases.. The problem lies elsewhere.. Otherwise, you know the culprit.

[clmlbx]

currently it is showing 49 degree and max 58 degree

and I have single stic = 1 gb ddr2 ram

but this only happens while playing games

how much should be the temp.


all below temp with everest

motherboard :- 44
cpu = 44
cpu # 1 / core # 1 = 55
cpu # 1 /core # 2 = 55

[assasin]

mob temp is high.sud be bout 36-38.
even after xtreme gaming my mobo temp maxes out at 39C.and my pc is oc'd.
whivh OS r u using?cuz it cud be a driver conflict

[kaustav_geek]

You don't have to keep on repeating this

but this only happens while playing games

This error does occur when you play Games. I have suffered it in the past. I suggest that you get your RAM tested and mention your PSU wattage. Try borrowing a RAM module from someone and test with it. In case the same problem arises, ... ah! I've already said it once...

[clmlbx]

Is cpu temp ok

I am using win xp pro. sp2

ok, I will check out my ram .

what to do as temp is high ?

[assasin]

is that ur proccy temp @ full load.if yes then ok,else they r very high at stock speed.
even i own a E4300 and its oc'd to 3GHz and i get idle temps of 25-27C and full load temps of 45-48C.

[clmlbx]

No , it was not at full load

only antivirus
Ie with 7-8 tabs
4-5 explorer window
more 2-3 smal apps

how did you oc'd ?

how did you oc'd ?

install xtra fans in ur cabby to cool things down.proccy temp is very high.

i've oc'd my proccy cuz my mobo supports oc.

[clmlbx]

do intel d946zis support ?

no space for extra fan's .. old cabby

now a days here local temp is 40-45

does this affect ?

[assasin]

no ur mobo doesnt support oc.
get urself a new big airy cabby.

[harryneopotter]

guys .. i own AMD 3600+, with asus M2NPVVM mobo and zebronics cabby.. my processer runs at 45-59 C depending on the load when the local temp is around 38-40 C. is it okay ???????

[kaustav_geek]

now a days here local temp is 40-45

If the ambient temperature itself is 40-45 degrees... There's little you can do.

Over heating is a very significant cause for BSODs.

For the time being, open the side panel of your cabinet and blow into it with a big table fan...Then game. Observe what happens.....

Does the BSOD come when you just start to play or after sometime ? Is the time interval for the BSODs to flash the same in all games?

[clmlbx]

BSOD is not in a same interval . some times it is imediately after start of the game and some time is after 15-20 mins .

I contacted my technician and he said problem is bcoz of hard-disk .

I purchased proccy, mobo and ram from him . and after that when he was trying to format c and install the windows .then there was also the bsod problem. so then he checked other ram's and everything but not solved but with same thing when he tried on different hard-disk it was ok . so that time i had to format my whole hard-disk and lost my data .

so he is trying to say that the problem is bcoz of hard-disk

I forgot to mention 1 thing that ther 2-3 types of bsod occuring .

and in technical info igxpdlx32.dll is also shown as problem .

and i guess it is a graphics driver .

i am really confuse what is the problem . so pls pls pls help .

[kaustav_geek]

Yes, its a graphic problem. As mentioned before, your hdd was running hot. So, that might also be a problem....

Is everything fine now ? If not, do you still get the same type of errors ? BSODs are common in case of Pirated Windows. If your copy of windows is Pirated, then these BSODs will appear...

In case its genuine, there might be some driver conflict with your Graphics driver... Try uninstalling your Drivers and DirectX and then reinstall...

Has this problem been there since the first Day ?? In case it is, then your Mobo is faulty... or your CPU installation isn't just correct....leading to overheating...

And, how did your Technician check your RAM ?? I asked you to check it yourself. Install Memtest86 and test your RAM modules.. Also, monitor the temperature of your system under load... both CPU&HDD....

[clmlbx]

now it is not only at games but even at normal use i get bsod . just now i was
writing this and i got bsod . and I also have hanging problem . 8 out of 10 times pc hangs after scan-disk. some times pc hangs on welcome screen .
on vista when i try to rate my comp it hangs when it reach to checking hard-disk .
so ithink it is hard-disk problem .

and this time bsod did'nt had that igxpdx32.dll

[kaustav_geek]

Yes.. It maybe a hdd problem.. get your drive replaced in case its under warranty...
One more thing.. Is your copy of Windows genuine ?? In case it isn't... then your pirated copy is most probably the culprit..BSODs, as I already mentioned, are very common in pirate copies of windows...

[clmlbx]

OK I CHECKED WITH MEMTEST AND THE RESULT SAYS

pass completed with no or 0 errors press Esc to exit .

so now it shows hdd is the problem .

my windows is pirated but i am using it from a long time and i did'nt have any problem .

[clmlbx]

how much sata 160 gb will cost ?

how much transcend and kingston 667 mhz 1 gb ddr2 ram will cost ?

[assasin]

160GB = 2350/2400
1GB DDR2 667 Transcend = 2250
