BSOD help:?

MrCSW · 15 Oct 2010 at 20:22

Hi all, Been a while since i last visited... So i hope this is in the correct subforum.

This problems got me truely stumped.
So hopefully someone can help before i wipe/ fresh install.

I want to play RA2 (red alert 2) on my system,
However, the game keeps causing BSOD's... I think.
sometimes installing, sometimes at the start screen, sometimes 10 minutes into a game.

I think There BSOD's ( the game freezes, playing a short sound loop, screen goes fuzzy - no responce from keyboard/ mouse)

Specs are:
Q9550 oc'd to 3.8
8gb ocz pc6400
2x HD5770
windows7 pro

So far i have:
Updated all drivers, removed OC, set game compatibility to xp mode, ran windows mem diagnosics (unlimited passed overnight)
Checked gfx temps, cpu temps, passed intel burn test fine.

After thinking it must be a dodgy game, i tried to play RA3 (which used to run fine) this also crashed in the same manner.

Now im stuck for ideas.
Any help appreciated.

Cheers

Hi, hope this works.
I zipped the memory.dmp to a rar... hosted with mediafire:

The last crash would have been on the 13th, between 17:00 - 23-00.

Worth a try. Though response can be slow (well few days) hell you might as well do a memtest86 over night aswell really

i already started a memtest86+.. left it running for 3-4hours.. but wasnt sure how many passes it would do, so escaped and carried on.
Does it just run infinate?
cheers
