ir_cow Posted March 18, 2012 Posted March 18, 2012 usually when i get blue screens (very rare these days) it's because of a memory setting or an overclock. since everything is stock check to make sure your ram is stable with memtest86 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

d6bmg Posted March 19, 2012 Posted March 19, 2012 And use th software named whocrushed to see the reason. But if no dump file is there then the PSU you are using is the reason for the problem. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
alishathomaz Posted March 20, 2012 Posted March 20, 2012 It is likely a driver associated with that game but to pinpoint the exact cause, we need to look at the crash dump files. Well, to resolve the bsods being caused by your drivers, you can either try updating them or simply disabling the device. Try updating first, if that doesnt help, try disabling. Click Start , and type "device manager" (without quotes) into the search field. Click Device Manager from the results list. In the Device Manager window that opens, double-click IEEE 1394 Bus host controllers . Select the 1394 Controller. Right click on it and select Update Driver software. Select Search automatically for updated driver software. If windows is not able to update automatically, download the updated drivers yourself and instead of letting windows search automatically, point it to the location of your downloaded drivers by selecting Browse my computer for driver software. If you want to disable the device, then instead of selecting update driver software in step 5, choose disable. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
