Solve : Bluescreens in games?

Answer»

Recently my computer started having bluescreen randomly appear in games, with messages such a 0x0000007E and some others.

Sometimes also, World of Warcraft crashes and tells me that the "Memory could not be read". This leads me to believe that its a RAM problem, however, I ran Memtest 86+ v1.70, and let it go through each test 2 or 3 times, and it showed absolutely no errors, so I'm guessing that's not the problem.

Now once in a while when I get a bluescreen, VISTA tells me it found what the problem is, and it tells me its my graphics card, and then tells me to download the latest drivers.

I already downloaded the latest drivers for my graphics card, so I though, could my GPU's RAM be corrupted? Is there any way to find out for sure?

Here are my specs:

0x0000000A (0x811A7F3C, 0x0000001B, 0x00000001, 0x8287AB67)

I'll update with more as I get them.Quote

Typically due to a bad driver, or faulty or incompatible hardware or software. Use the General Troubleshooting of STOP Messages checklist above. Technically, this error condition means that a kernel-mode process or driver tried to access a memory location to which it did not have permission, or at a kernel Interrupt ReQuest Level (IRQL) that was too high. (A kernel-mode process can acc

From MSDN...Its definitely not a bad driver since I updated to the latest one from Nvidia's website.
I also doubt it would be incompatible since it worked fine for nearly a whole year before. Is there any way to test the GPU's RAM for errors such as Memtest?There are more drivers than just video drivers....

According to the stop error messages this is definitely a driver issue and or a hardware incompatibility issue...

Both the 00000a and ooooooooo7 errors support this.

But if you INSIST it's not a driver oh well...hi

this is nice game.

Then what do you suggest I do? I already have the latest driver installed.Re-install all your drivers ...start with the MBoard chipset drivers first.
This is important.I had a similar issue while playing AoC. Turned out it was a conflict with my specific sound card. I would start there. Check the game forums and see if anyone has had a similar issue. Updating my sound card drivers didn't help but changing a sound SETTING in the game was the solution (which I found on the forums). Good luck.
