BSOD Mostly During Gaming

jell0 · 19 Jul 2016

I just did a clean install after my initial BSOD's were happening. Should I try installing Windows again?

Yes, please try another one.

For the drivers, dont use the driver CD. Enable Device Driver Automatic Installation and run windows update to get the drivers.

And dont use any software that came from an unknown/untrustworthy source.

Just crashed again.. Didn't install anything from any website. I let Windows install everything..

Happened when I quit out of playing Hearthstone and AFKed a second. Totally at a loss here..

Code:

BugCheck 1A, {8887, fffffa800705e550, fffffa8305b50a80, 200}

Probably caused by : hardware_ram ( ZEROED_PAGE_CORRUPTED )

Followup:     MachineOwner

We have performed the RAM test once again, which came out as clean. Now we are seeing that the crash dump is blaming it.

Let us do the test once again, and this time with the LATEST VERSION : 5.01.

My motherboard doesn't support UEFI. It won't boot v5 on older motherboards it will automatically default to a 4.3 per the website . I'm gonna just buy some new ram. DDR3 is really cheap for some 8gb sticks.

I think you may try another test, though it is not a very pleasant one.

Run the computer in Safe Mode for the reasonably long time to recur the BSOD. If it is really caused by the RAM failure, it will recur.
