Computer Blue Screen of Death

jamesjoshua3

Hello everyone, recently I've been having trouble with my graphics card. My computer never used to have this problem and i only recently built it so its fairly new. What happens is when im gaming the graphics will start bugging out (mostly on the new COD) and flashing and then the game will crash and the computer will blue screen, this was bearable as it only happened once every few days but now its happening at least twice a day and it doesn't just happen while i game anymore, it happens while i do uni work or when im just on google. My fix for this is to reinstall the latest updates on my graphics card and this usually fixes it for a few hours but now i want to find a permanent fix, can anyone help me??

Hello.

 

Do you remember what the blue screen said? It could be something like system thread exception xxxx. Is XMP/DOCP turned on in your BIOS or have you made any other changes to it?

You can get a list of the blue screens by looking at your logs.  Your concept that it’s the GPU doing this is possible, but there’s a lot of other things that could be doing it too.  There’s drivers, there’s bios, there’s memory.  They’re all more likely than the gpu.

Not a pro, not even very good.  I’m just old and have time currently.  Assuming I know a lot about computers can be a mistake.

 

Life is like a bowl of chocolates: there are all these little crinkly paper cups everywhere.

The error code that comes up is MEMORY MANAGEMENT

I think it might be the memory as the error code is MEMORY MANAGEMENT

Yes indeed, memory errors are far more common than video cards errors. Have you overclocked the memory with XMP/DOCP or manually? If not, there are now two things to try as I see it.

 

Run Memtest --download here: https://www.memtest86.com/download.htm

Try to run with a single memory module? Try each stick and make sure they properly inserted.
