BSOD?

Se7ven · 24 Nov 2009 at 08:08

Hey guys since I started F@H Im getting more BSOD's (running win7 ultimate 64bit) and also games seem to be freezing up more often and hanging.

Im obviously not 100% sure that its the folding thats the main cause but it seems to be a lot more frequent since it started, has anyone else had this problem? my task manager is showing about a 50-60% performance from the CPU(s)

also can you clarify me, does this look right?

thanks guys

Specifics about the BSOD would be helpful. If it helps track down the problem, please email a minidump file to me.

Seems a lot of reports of dxgmms1.sys causing BSODs with Windows 7 64-bit, but not much information about what is causing it or how to fix it. In any event, most likely cause is unstable hardware (too much overclock, perchance), or broken graphics or chipset drivers. Good luck nailing it down.
