BSOD when gaming.

I'm a gamer, so I play a lot of games in my PC, I think I have a decent rig. Anyway, my BSOD's only occur when I'm gaming, I don't know if my PC suffers from a lot of stress, however, when I play Rainbow Six Vegas 1/2, the crash would occur randomly, however, this crash would occur much more faster if I have some background music playing on my desktop.

Now, I've installed Mirror's Edge today, but I can't play for more than 30 minutes because my computer BSOD's after a short period of playing.

I honestly have no idea what's the problem is, I thought it might be an outdated sound driver, but I've already updated it correctly (I think...), so now I'm really clueless as to what's causing this errors. I thought I would pinpoint which error it was because sometimes it would say ''IRQUL NOT LESS OR EQUAL'', but other times it would say something completely different, so, I'm guessing it's a multitude of errors?

I'm attaching the proper files you guys recommended on the sticky threads, if I missed something let me know.

Thanks!

Hello and welcome to the forum.
You need to address the following five drivers and either update or uninstall the associated software / drivers or consider renaming the file extension from .sys to .OLD.
ManyCam_x64.sys 3/13/2008 ManyCam Virtual Webcam Download ManyCam free virtual webcam and webcam graphics software!
BtHidBus.sys 7/31/2008 Bluetooth HID BUS Driver Download IVT Software
vsmraid.sys 1/30/2009 VIA RAID driver for X86-32 VIA Drivers Download - VIA Technologies, Inc.
Rt64win7.sys 2/26/2009 Realtek NIC Realtek
anodlwfx.sys 3/6/2009 ALPHA Networks Filter Driver Alpha Networks Inc.
They all predate Windows 7 RTM and need your attention.
Additionally you should probably consider updating your System's BIOS, looks like you are still running the original and there have been several since. Determine your board's revision number and look here (make sure you select the correct Rev.#1.0, 2.0 or 2.1) GIGABYTE - Motherboard - Socket AM2+ - GA-MA770-UD3 (rev. 2.0)

I don't know the revision number of my motherboard? When I used CPU-Z it says ''x.x''. So I have no idea how I should update.

Should be printed right on the surface of the Motherboard itself.

Alright, I was able to find the revision number and updated. However, I want to ask if I did something wrong; For starters, did I had to update one by one? Or just update to the latest one that isn't a beta release? Because I did the latter.

I'm asking because, before I updated the bios, Mirror's Edge ran at 60 FPS constant, and now, after updating, it's running at 40 to 50 frames, why did this happen?

Yep, I just tried other games and the performance has certainly dropped.

I Believe the later is generally fine, and I think that you would likely see something in the release notes if an incremental update was required prior to graduating to the next.

Good question.... I would say a better question though is; Is the machine still crashing and blue screening after 30 minutes of play with Mirror's Edge? I can say that it is in all probability likely that when you flashed your BIOS it reset any and all tweaking or overclocking you may have done to something like "Setup Defaults" or "Optimized Defaults" or "Performance Defaults" something of similar wording. So you may want to investigate any thing that you had previously tweaked, like disabling unused devices, etc.,.

I just played for a while and suffered no crashes at all. I believe the bios was the reason for the blue screens? I played with the same setting before I updated and suffered no crashes.

Anyway, now the only thing to fix is, why are my games running worse than before, to answer your question, I had formatted my PC a while ago and did no tweaking at all to any defaults, however, it is true that updating bios resets and tweaking, so that's probably the problem. I don't know how to explain it, but I think my computer had stock tweaking already? Not sure how to revert the settings?

Okay, I re-installed nvdia Drivers hoping it would do something, and it actually did. For a few seconds anyway, I started Mirror's Edge again and it started to run really smooth, but after less than 10 minutes the framerate started to get choppy and horrible again. :/

Not being a gamer myself I cannot really provide a whole lot of insight regarding their individual performance. I might suggest that you check your BIOS setting for something called AMD K8 Cool & Quiet Control and set that to disabled on the chance that perhaps there may be some CPU throttling taking place in the back ground. See if that helps

EDIT: Additionally I can't help but notice that you are using slots 3 and 4 for your memory modules. Is there something physically preventing you from using slots 1 and 2.

If two memory modules are to be installed, it is recommended that you install them in the DDR2_1 and DDR2_2 sockets.
