Ive upgraded to a E2160, X1950, 2 gig and mobo not oc'd and all is well.....

I use a simulator and have done so for a year at least and its this that crashes to a BSOD....Its never done it before.... MOH:A, CMR:Dirt and CS:S all run brill but this old sim crashes? Is there any way to find whats causing it at all as i cant believe its the new components, can i run anything to get a log after the crash??

Just try a few basic diagnotic checks like memtest86 and Prime/F@H just to check that every thing is stable on load.

Make sure you are using the very latest video drivers and have checked for game patches (www.gamespot.com).

What did you upgrade from?
 
You can download the Debugging Tools for Windows, which will help you identify the BSOD in question as you missed the info when it did restart. When you download and install that you can follow the next steps:

1. Open the program and click File menu, then "Symbols path"
2. Type in "SRV*c:\symbols*http://msdl.microsoft.com/download/symbols" without the quotes
3. Then click File -> Open Crash Dump and browse to C:\Windows\Minidump and open the latest crash dump
4. When you open it, it'll take a while to load in but when it does you'll be connected to the debugger
5. When you are connected type in "!anaylze -v" without the quotes to get info on why the computer rebooted.

It might take a while to reach step 5, sometimes it takes around 30 seconds so be patient. What this will do is give you a full page of information regarding the error that you have had. You should if possible do that and paste the contents here so we can take a look at it, namely the filename that caused the problem and the actual BSOD message (such as IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL - it's generally near the top of the report).

(copied from another post of mine as re-writing this info takes ages :P)
 
I upgraded from an XP64 3200, X800 256, 1 gig to this.. I used this sim every day for the last year and have never had a crash with it.. Like i said my my setup runs cool by tat and coretemp and its all at stock and no other crashes at all on other games or apps but this one BSOD's all the time..

The error is below if it helps anyone??
