hmm.. could be a skyrim specific issue then..

try defaulting the RAM again and see how it goes if you want.

what nvidia drivers are you using?

this is ridiculous now, i tried playing the dayZ mod for arma 2 and it was algood first few days now if i try play it i get random freezes after 5 minutes blue screen of death twice so far, if i restart my pc it sometimes frezzes as soon as i log into windows.

I scanned the thread and didn't see it mentioned. Do you only use on-board sound, or do you have a card? Bad sound issues can cause freezes and hangups and such as well.

Finn _The_Human · 06-03-2012, 10:30 PM

i only use onboard sound.

YahooElite · 06-03-2012, 10:33 PM

Alright.. what error did it give you this time?

We ruled out RAM because its new RAM and it was working fine for a while.

So now that just leaves driver problems or a problem with the hard drive.

Scan the HD for errors, see if it mentions anything.

Finn _The_Human · 06-03-2012, 10:43 PM

Ive done the Hard drive error checking 3 times now i only saw the results of the last one and it said there were no problems.

Manually increase the ram to 1.55v and try gaming again, imo ram was not the issue-- next would be the latest video card drivers or the last known stable, if ram was an issue you would have trouble with widows IMO ESP driver installs where ram is used to inflate the driver before being put on the hdd..

YahooElite · 06-04-2012, 01:33 AM

Well honestly i think hes better off with this RAM anyway.

But yeah it has to be something else then if its still happening. probably driver related, powersupply at the MOST as it appears game to be a game related issue.

Guys, I have been having this EXACT same issue...

Started a week ago, after a Diablo 3 update. I froze in d3 and had to restart... it kept freezing at the Windows log-in screen.

Now it freezes fairly frequently, at random times. Did a bunch of things:

1. Uninstalled and reinstalled most updated video card drivers
2. Ran memtest86+ with no errors
3. Updated SSD firmware

Only things I can think of now are
(a) my CPU overclock settings are no longer stable/degradation?
(b) windows issue - need to system restore or re-format or something
(c) some other hardware problem...

Is (a) even possible... I've been running on the same clocking, and hardware set-up for 2 years. The last upgrade I did was upgrade to SSD in January... I have been running smooth and d3 without issues until LITERALLY 1 week ago...

Also, another possibility?:

Once again though... I've had these clockings/timings for almost 2 years now without issue

can u paste damp files in here.

Anytime you are overclocking and getting system instability, you should put your system back to factory defaults.

Finn _The_Human · 06-05-2012, 12:19 PM

Okay well i was using driver detective to tell me what drivers needed updating it only said four did (which were things like usb) so i tried another called Driver genius and it told me 9 drivers were out dated including my DRAM controller or something rather so i updated them all last night and so far not a problem.

A-spase · 06-05-2012, 01:40 PM

sounds like easy fix.didnt reach page 7

Finn _The_Human · 06-05-2012, 09:35 PM

not 100% certain it is fixed yet, we'll just have to see.

Finn _The_Human · 06-06-2012, 02:45 AM

and there we have it. crashing its face off again. great.

i got a new error last night, my computer screen tunred black and said "Machine Check Error" whatever that means.

could these have any thing to do with the latency or timings if my RAM or even the voltages, in accordance with the QVL of my motherboard?
