Blue Screen While Playing Video Games

Hi majorgeeks!

I play games a lot on my computer. Just in the passed 8 months or so, my computer has been blue screening while playing. It's random and it may not even happen during a session. Sometimes it will do it twice within a session.

The computer is about 6 years old, custom built:
Windows 7 64 bit
AMD Athlon II X4 640 processor
NVIDIA geforce gt 430 graphics card
Asus m4a89GTD-pro motherboard

All drivers are up to date. I've tried to find solutions through google searches, but no luck. I tried getting the crash codes when the screen pops up, but the system reboots too fast. I think I found where windows dumps the error file after a blue screen. I'm not sure if that would help, but I uploaded it in the attachments. Thank you!

 

Hi jkman.

A quick run through the debugger didn't come up with anything solid, however, there are some drivers that were loaded that have a history of causing BSODs, these will require some research to find more recent versions (My personal experience of ASACPI.sys is that it can safely be disabled in Device Manager, the driver shouldn't load after that and I never had a BSOD on that PC again!):

You can use the Modified date column in DriverView after updating to check the suspect drivers.

Due to the age of the PC, it's possible that there's a problem with aging hardware, also there are several drivers for 'virtual' hardware loaded, some of these can be problematic.

 

Download WhoCrashed and upload the log file.

We can then easily see what caused the BSOD.

 

Here's the WhoCrashed report for the dump:
