you'd need to post the administrator log to see more

the 3b msg is about your 1394 driver

the 4e is a critical error..often a sign of bad memory

1394 driver = ?

Strange, Inet first found a problem with the ram, then called back and said "Nevermind, ur ram is fine blablablabla"

Will check it out.

do this..run the pc with only 1 stick of ram in a different slot

and if you have anything overclocked ....set it to defaults...

 

if it still does it..switch to the other ram stick

[techguru]

update all your main drivers to

What exactly do you want me to look for? I have no idea. You mean the Event Viewer I assume?

Already did these things. Ran the games with one stick before, problem still occured.

 

update all your main drivers to

Did this also.

[techguru]

yea ..event viewer...

[techguru]

one other thing you could do as well..is boot up a linux distro and stress test it in linux..see if it still crashes

[xiner]

yea ..event viewer...

What do you want me to do in Event Viewer? Like, it shows me no information around the time the computer crashed.

 

[techguru]

under windows logs..there should be some red marks

under windows logs..there should be some red marks

Like this? This is where the crash occured.

@techguro,As you mentioned it sounds like a ram issue, but he said the company check the memory said it is ok, could it at all be possible that one of the ram slots on his motherboard is bad?

Turn off, or uninstall, any unnecessary background programs.  Antivirus, antimalware, etc... those are not needed.  Hopefully it is a simple driver issue and not a hardware related issue.

 

The way you described it (sometimes you can play for hours, sometime 5 minutes) it is indicative of a memory(RAM) issue.  I have had them before.  Everything works fine until it hits that bad area of memory.  I just blew one of my sticks of RAM (2x8GB) last month.  On my previous build, it was the DIMM slot that was the problem.

 

Same could be said for background programs.  Everything works fine until something like an antivirus runs a scan or something. 

 

Do what you can to narrow down the problem,  think logically.  When I started blue screening on this PC I had a clue.  Firefox kept crashing more often, when it never does.  I just took out one of my 8GB sticks and made sure I had the remaining stick in the first DIMM slot.  All the errors stopped.  I then replaced that good stick with the other and the errors (and BSODs) started again.  I then took what I assumed was the good stick and tested each DIMM slot one by one.

[techguru]

yea its possible..but he did say the motherboard was changed....

It was the same problem on my old motherboard, same brand and model tho.

I currently do not have an anti virus on my computer.

I've already tried that though. Problem still occured.

I've been doing EVERYTHING that I can possibly think of, except buying new parts.

[techguru]

I do believe its either a ram prob or psu prob...

[techguru]

we probably can't help you much more until you can test with some new ram..even if you buy it just to test it and return it later

Have you tried removing the GPU and run with the integrated GPU on the i7?

[techguru]

it could be a cpu prob to..but intels cpu's VERY rarely go bad anymore unless you overclock the hell outta them

[xiner]

Seems very strange if its a ram problem due to the fact that I tested my brothers 16 gig 1600 mhz corsair ram and it still occured.

I asked earlier if a faulty PSU really could make these problems occur?

I don't have any computer stores near by. And I can't order from the internet and open the package, cuz then I can't return them.

Nope, why would I have to do that though? Do you think there could be a problem with the PCI-E slot? :oo

This CPU is brand new. Never overclocked.

Well, it could be a driver issue with that card, or it could be a power issue.  I can't really say... but if you remove the card you narrow the field of investigation.  One less thing in the PC that could be bad, or good.

well I guess it could be the ram slot...tho if the board is brand new...seems a bit weird

 

I had another thought to...was thinking maybe the board is shorting out on the case...could have installed the mb the same way twice..

could try an external build

As I said earlier, I replaced my GPU with my sisters uninstalled the drivers for this card, and installed the correct ones for that one, but the problems still occured.

What do you mean by "External build"?

 

When I first purchased the computer my neighbour put it together, but this time I did, so dunno if we installed it the same way.
