Seemingly Random Blue Screen Crashes....


maximus

Recommended Posts

When i try to play a game for an extended amount of time (beyong 2 minutes) i usually get a blue screen crash.

 

 

 

Low quality games such as starcraft are the worse.

 

 

 

I either get the errors

 

 

 

BAD_POOL_CALLER

 

 

 

or

 

 

 

PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGE_AREA

 

*** STOP 0x00000050 (0xE3942030,0x00000000,0x8054AE70,0x00000001)

 

 

 

PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGE_AREA

 

casued by win32k.sys

 

*** STOP 0x00000050 (0xE2E75000,0x00000000,0xBF826A,0x00000001)

 

 

 

***CAUSED BY win32k.sys - ADDRESS BF826A8A at BF800000, datestamp 43446a58

 

 

 

Now I have moderate knowlage of a computer and im compelled to learn why my computer is doing this. (I have no clue how to read or make any of this into sense)

 

 

 

If you need any Specs or info ill provide it.

 

 

 

Thanks for any help

I've gotten both those errors (and more) randomly just doing nothing.

 

I haven't been able to pin-point what it is yet :-?

 

 

 

How old is your Windows install?

the only computer I owned that this occured regualry on was a gaming machine a year or so ago. I upgraded most the internals and had a smooth run after that. In your case other than upgrading, I suggest a fresh format + reinstall of XP.

That's what I end up doing - stays fine for about a year, then I start getting random BSOD's again :-\

 

It's like it's programed into Windows to BSOD after x days :x

partition your hdd, put anything you want to keep on the new partition, format windows drive, reinstall windows, done.

 

 

 

 

 

Seriously though, I'll see what I can did up for you.

 

 

 

Edit: ok, you have a high probability of failing hardware. And since you say it only happens in games. I'll agree with your assumption of the video card.

 

 

 

What type and how old is it?
