Hi all,

I had a BSOD when gaming on black ops. First time it's happened since I got it when it first came out. My father-in-law has had it happen to him a few times. My temps were absolutely fine. Got a 4870x2 under water and it doesn't go above 41 when gaming, that's maxed out graphics at 1920x1200. Core i7 920 @ 4ghz doesn't go above 62.

The last time I saw a BSOD was way back in Feb when I was Overclocking so I know my Overclock is stable after 20 Linx passes, 20 Ibt and 12 hours prime 95. It must be black ops. Currently running 10.10 ati drivers. I have recently put an OCZ Vertex 2e 120gb SSD in for my OS and games but I doubt it's that.

Anyone else had a bsod while playing black ops?

I've updated the ati drivers. Running 10.12 now. Seems to run black ops a bit smoother too.

Overclocks can degrade over time, memory can become faulty, etc. however Black Ops has so many issues I'd assume its that, its hard locked my PC more than once over the last few days and I'm 100% stable in all other games.
 
Same here my PC is OCCT, prime, lynx, you name it stable, but blackops still makes it fall over due to poor coding.
 
my game wont run when i overclock my graphics cards...have to reset the cards to stock otherwise the game crashes after 5 min or so.....all other games play with no issues
 
Yes I'm going to blame black ops for this one I think. Might have a good session in L4D2 and see how I get on.

Just go through these sets of questions.

Did you try to "customise" the game in any way? i.e mods? Remove them.
Did you upgrade your catalyst control centre recently? Downgrade the software.
Did you change the settings on Catalyst recently? Revert to the old settings or factory reset if that don't work.
Is the game patched to the latest version?
Is the game integrated with steam? Disable the steam community overlay, it has been known to crash with games with Directx 10 and 11.

Hope I helped.
 
I would add to the list above you can also try your overclocked components at stock and or, try to increase voltages up a tiny step (if safe too)... but with upping volts you may find your self slowly tip toeing up and up and up just to maintain the overclock.

If your prime stable fo a good 8 hours aprox and no other games crash then is Black ops.
