blue screens while playing games

There can be several reasons.
1.)

intel org. board d946gzis

Click to expand...

Your on-board graphics may not be able to cope up with the load.
2.)Your RAM is corrupt.
3.)Your PSU is not able to bear the work-load.
4.)Poor ventilation and overheating of the CPU.

Now, post the details of your CPU temps, PSU wattage.
Also, try uninstalling you Graphics drivers & directX and then re-installing them.

I Just Bought All Three Items.

This Is Only With Games Other Wise It Runs Very Well

IT RUNS VISTA WITH AERO VERY WELL .

Do u hav any cards installed ,like tv tuner or modems ten remove them n chk
Does ur video card and anyother device share same irq

I have tv tuner card installed

but I don't have grafix card

BLUE SCREEN ALLWAYS CONTAIN

Physical Memory Dump

Then remove tv tuner and try..
Your grf card is inbuilt.

On Board Grafix

Can There Be Problem With Hard-disk

^^^ dont think hdd is the prob here.

There Is Allways

physical Memory Dumping In Blue Screen

YES, I TOO THINK HDD IS NOT A problem

I checked it with hdd life and it shows 50 degree temp ,50% health and excellent performance .

50c for hdd is pretty high temp.
wat bout temp of mobo and proccy?

hdd temp is high. Also, check your RAM... This error occurs when you have a corrupt memory location .. I suppose you have dual 512 mB DDR2 sticks right ??
Remove either of them and check each of them one by one.... If the error flashes in both cases.. The problem lies elsewhere.. Otherwise, you know the culprit.

currently it is showing 49 degree and max 58 degree

and I have single stic = 1 gb ddr2 ram

but this only happens while playing games

how much should be the temp.


all below temp with everest

motherboard :- 44
cpu = 44
cpu # 1 / core # 1 = 55
cpu # 1 /core # 2 = 55

mob temp is high.sud be bout 36-38.
even after xtreme gaming my mobo temp maxes out at 39C.and my pc is oc'd.
whivh OS r u using?cuz it cud be a driver conflict

You don't have to keep on repeating this

but this only happens while playing games

Click to expand...

This error does occur when you play Games. I have suffered it in the past. I suggest that you get your RAM tested and mention your PSU wattage. Try borrowing a RAM module from someone and test with it. In case the same problem arises, ... ah! I've already said it once...

Is cpu temp ok

I am using win xp pro. sp2

ok, I will check out my ram .

what to do as temp is high ?

is that ur proccy temp @ full load.if yes then ok,else they r very high at stock speed.
even i own a E4300 and its oc'd to 3GHz and i get idle temps of 25-27C and full load temps of 45-48C.

No , it was not at full load

only antivirus
Ie with 7-8 tabs
4-5 explorer window
more 2-3 smal apps

how did you oc'd ?

install xtra fans in ur cabby to cool things down.proccy temp is very high.

i've oc'd my proccy cuz my mobo supports oc.

do intel d946zis support ?

no space for extra fan's .. old cabby

now a days here local temp is 40-45

does this affect ?

no ur mobo doesnt support oc.
get urself a new big airy cabby.

guys .. i own AMD 3600+, with asus M2NPVVM mobo and zebronics cabby.. my processer runs at 45-59 C depending on the load when the local temp is around 38-40 C. is it okay ???????

now a days here local temp is 40-45

Click to expand...

If the ambient temperature itself is 40-45 degrees... There's little you can do.

Over heating is a very significant cause for BSODs.

For the time being, open the side panel of your cabinet and blow into it with a big table fan...Then game. Observe what happens.....

Does the BSOD come when you just start to play or after sometime ? Is the time interval for the BSODs to flash the same in all games?

BSOD is not in a same interval . some times it is imediately after start of the game and some time is after 15-20 mins .

I contacted my technician and he said problem is bcoz of hard-disk .

I purchased proccy, mobo and ram from him . and after that when he was trying to format c and install the windows .then there was also the bsod problem. so then he checked other ram's and everything but not solved but with same thing when he tried on different hard-disk it was ok . so that time i had to format my whole hard-disk and lost my data .

so he is trying to say that the problem is bcoz of hard-disk

I forgot to mention 1 thing that ther 2-3 types of bsod occuring .

and in technical info igxpdlx32.dll is also shown as problem .

and i guess it is a graphics driver .

i am really confuse what is the problem . so pls pls pls help .

Yes, its a graphic problem. As mentioned before, your hdd was running hot. So, that might also be a problem....

Is everything fine now ? If not, do you still get the same type of errors ? BSODs are common in case of Pirated Windows. If your copy of windows is Pirated, then these BSODs will appear...

In case its genuine, there might be some driver conflict with your Graphics driver... Try uninstalling your Drivers and DirectX and then reinstall...

Has this problem been there since the first Day ?? In case it is, then your Mobo is faulty... or your CPU installation isn't just correct....leading to overheating...

And, how did your Technician check your RAM ?? I asked you to check it yourself. Install Memtest86 and test your RAM modules.. Also, monitor the temperature of your system under load... both CPU&HDD....

now it is not only at games but even at normal use i get bsod . just now i was
writing this and i got bsod . and I also have hanging problem . 8 out of 10 times pc hangs after scan-disk. some times pc hangs on welcome screen .
on vista when i try to rate my comp it hangs when it reach to checking hard-disk .
so ithink it is hard-disk problem .

and this time bsod did'nt had that igxpdx32.dll

Yes.. It maybe a hdd problem.. get your drive replaced in case its under warranty...
One more thing.. Is your copy of Windows genuine ?? In case it isn't... then your pirated copy is most probably the culprit..BSODs, as I already mentioned, are very common in pirate copies of windows...

OK I CHECKED WITH MEMTEST AND THE RESULT SAYS

pass completed with no or 0 errors press Esc to exit .

so now it shows hdd is the problem .

my windows is pirated but i am using it from a long time and i did'nt have any problem .

LOLz......i've been using pirated windows Xp Pro for the past 3yrs without any stability probs and so r all my frnds.and at present i'm using Vista RTM for the past 5 months and didnt get any BSOD.
so how can u say that pirated version of Windows cause BSOD???

how much sata 160 gb will cost ?

how much transcend and kingston 667 mhz 1 gb ddr2 ram will cost ?

160GB = 2350/2400
1GB DDR2 667 Transcend = 2250

thanks man

dealer cheated me saying transcend and kingston cost around 3200

I purchased dynate ram for 2600

^^^ u sud always check prices from diff sources.it reduces ur chances of getting duped.

did prices went down . I purchased last week

i bought 2 sticks of 1GB 667 transcend ram bout 2-3 weeks before for 2550 each.
prices hav dec by 200 bucks

is there diff between sata and sata 2

^^^ theoritically there sud be but practically there isnt much diff in transfer speeds.

Diff In Price

160 Gb ?

100-150 bucks max.

This 160 Gb Will Not That Ide One

2 Bsods Says

First One Fatal Error System

Second One Says Winlogon Has Been Closed

LOLz......i've been using pirated windows Xp Pro for the past 3yrs without any stability probs and so r all my frnds.and at present i'm using Vista RTM for the past 5 months and didnt get any BSOD.
so how can u say that pirated version of Windows cause BSOD???

Click to expand...

That depends. I too had been using using Pirated Windows till last december ....And haven't encountered any BSODs... However, many a times, due to repetitive reproduction, media corruption can arise... Hence, BSODs can be a possibility...

Nevermind I might be wrong too.

@clmlbx

First One Fatal Error System

Second One Says Winlogon Has Been Closed

Click to expand...

What I am asking is, since when, did the problem of BSODs arise? You say that you have been using XP for a long time w/o any problem... So, did the problem arise after any major H/W or S/F change?? In case it is so.. Try removing that component and check again.. Also, you could use a restore point.......

ok.since ur suspecting that u hav hdd prob,just download a diagnostic tool from the site of the manufacturer of ur hdd and run it.if it throws up an error then u hav ur culprit.

I checked it with seatools and all test get aborted itsel . some AT START AND SOME AT end .

as my previous post fatal error occurs in bsod
and that means ram problem ? right ??

SO at last no exact problem could be found . I HAVE BOOKED THE Time with my technician tomorrow ? so let see what happen ?

If the problem is in hard-disk so then i have to change the hard-disk .

so sata or sata2 160 gb is right choice ?

try out Drive fitness test (DFT).see if it reports an error.

mine is seagate drive

DFT works with all hdds.

Chkd With Dft It Gives Error

then print a copy of that error and send ur hdd for RMA.

FRIENDS PLS HELP

I tried replacing ram and hard-disk but the problem is unsolved.

I am using vista too in that I reported a problem .

I got the solution and it says consider bios upgrade .

should I try it .

Dont worry of any thing else all the components are good i suppose, it is definetly memory leak issue.Actually what happens is there are different paging techniques used by os and for games so when games are run they use lot of memory space and that to in a random manner but when os runs it uses
memory from particular location for particular thread or process. so what ever may be the other thread or process it is accomidated as u were telling of the aero look for vista. but in games every thing is dynamic and therefore ur ram is utilized like hell.when the directx drivers or any of the drivers even the sound drivers which are looking for memory dont get what they are looking then the system just hangs at that state.This may also happen when ur running applications or when run the os also.

This may the explanation for i am not sure this is the only explanation.and one more thing os or for that matter any software does not hang due to the smaps or ur power supply they will run slowly because the watts or the power the processor is getting is decreased because of the load share not the volts.That is why even though u see a constant 12v in ur bios there may be load sharing incase u have a higher end graphics card which consume huge power. That is why higher psu is perferred in that case

This what i think.And for the solution change the ram or replace it is what i sugest.

I have done it . I have changed the ram but of no use .

yes , you may be right . I read some thing about pages and all in that blue screen (bsod)

again with no clue

should i try upgrading my bios . I got new bios .

if bios update is available then do it.

ok , if any thing goes wrong ( during bios update or after ) so the company will solve the problem as this is in the warranty ( without any cost )

right ?

I got bios from intel siTe .

I Am Not Sure How To Do It . Can Anyone Can Give Me Step By Step Info On That .

Update the BIOS on your computer only if the newer BIOS version specifically solves a problem you have. We do not recommend BIOS updates for computers that do not need it

THIS SAYS INTEL SITE


WHAT TO DO ????

Mine Bios Is 9/11/2006

Mine :- 0047

0048
0064
0066
0067
0071
0071
0075
0077

0077 Is The Latest .

update ur bios.read instructions carefully on Intel site

There will be a text or read me file with the BIOS that u have downloaded.Read it carefully.Or if there is an online update like ASUS,MSI,GIGABYTE etc.u can do that.I have a MSI motherboard & i have the latest BIOS & i did it by using Live Update.

Bios Updated But No Use

There are few possibilities that ur system is a pain.Ok here is what the possible solution:
1.Update BIOS(updated).
2.Update all the drivers including sound,motherboard,display,DirectX etc.(ALL LATEST).
3.Install a fresh copy of operating system with all updates.
4.If HDD is running too hot then install a HDD Cooler,'ll cost u around 250/- for a local one but its worthy.I 've seen a HDD cooler with 2 Fans on it.



5.Do a memtest for 20-30 minutes(1 Hour recommended),This will show u if u have a faulty memory.
6.Reassemble all the parts of your system.
7.Properly connect every cable & check the ventilation of ur cabinet.

If this doesn't help then change the motherboard & buy an ASUS,MSI,GIGABYTE,A-Bit,DFI etc. BUT NOT INTEL ORIGINAL.

-What is PSU specs?(how much Wattage?)
-Have u overclocked ur system?

I GOT THE PROBLEM . the problem was of my pci tv tuner card .

I removed it and everything is runnig fine .

but now there is a new problem .

after running game for around 30 mins . system restarts automatically .

any solution

can it be becoz of over heating

what will be the price of a new fan to make the system cool ?

and pls also give the price of intel org fan for processor core 2 duo E4300

What do u do to check the temp.?
Install MBM or SPEEDFAN to check the temp.
And
Right click My Computer -> Properties -> Advanced tab -> "Startup and recovery" Settings -> UNselect "Automatically restart"

I checked the temp with everest .

Its simple yaar

Assuming that u are using CRT

In the monitor Menu Search for the option Degauss During the game.and execute it.it will surely solve ur problem

Solve hua tho thank u post karna nahi hua toh bhi bata dena

Afterall experience matters

there is flickering and nt the blue screen


bt as soon as i click to upgarde my basic score which is 1(yet another problem)
i get blue screen or if i play any game eg spiderman3 i get that blue screen....physical dump memory....
i tried changing ram bt doesnt help....howver windows xp is fine.......
......bt again the blue screen......


can any 1 tell me whats this !!!!!!

thx for patient reading

my config

motherboard:intel 945 gnt
ram:2 gb
graphic crd:8800 gtx xxx 768mb
processor entium d 2.8
power supply:600w cooler master


can u plz give me link to the place frm where i can download the latest driver for my graphic card.....thx

Dude i can fairly understand your problem that u are facing coz i was also into the same kinda thing.
First of all here is a direct link for the drivers
*www.nvidia.com/content/drivers/drivers.asp
U just have to select Graphics driver>Geforce 8 serires>(your operating system)>GO.

After all this i guess the problem lies into your motherboard.Just have to say that i believe if u have all the updated stuff except the motherboard and processor then i say why not upgrade it?
I know that not a possible great solution but this is the last option......but wait i still have something for you!
Its a kinda tricky one but something is better than nothing
Try your graphics card on any other system like if any of ur buddy have high end config. or u can ask the dealer to check it if he is a good (friend) human being (in most of the cases "NO").

Do this and you will come to a conclusion it will be the motherboard which has the confliction with the Card.
I mean u have the high end card and a low end Motherboard.
I guess there is a compatibility issue.
U should also read the FAQS of your motherboard from the INTEL site or use the Customer Service or check the web with the reference hardware(945 paired with 8800 GTX).

Good Luck my friend!!!!!!!!!
