Blue Screen While Playing Games

[ekroop]

Hey guys I'm looking for some help to a recent problem.

I've been playing League of Legends for about a month, but recently (first time it happend was on July 2nd) while playing, my computer will crash to Blue Screen randomly. If it's not crashing to Blue Screen, I'm getting a "Bug Splat" error and the game will crash. I don't know much about the error but I searched a bit and found that it traced back to something called Minidump? I have average knowledge about computers, but I have never heard of Minidump, what it's for or what it does.

If I could get some help fixing this it would be awesome :)

PS: I ran a memtest recently and it came up with three errors very quickly. I don't know if the problems could be related? I'm going to replace my memory as soon as I get home, as I'm overseas for school and cannot do it while im here.

Thanks for reading.

hi, first minidump is a windows function ,it save info about the bsod to a minidump file for evaulation ,bluescreen viewer will read the dump and give you a log of past bsod's Ram is a major cause of bsod's .if you computer has more than one stick of ram you can troubleshoot by running one stick at a time and run the memtest ,this should help find the bad stick .you could use bluescreen view to help with showing the conteny of your saved minidump files .

If you follow these directions you should end up with a few BSOD events recorded and a place for us to start looking -

Please download BlueScreenView http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/blue_screen_view.html (in zip file)•Extract (right-click > Extract all) the contents of bluescreenview.zip.

•Double-click on the BlueScreenView.exe file, to run the program. (No installation is required.)

•When scanning is done (usually complete by the time the interface appears), go ...

•Edit > Select All

•File > Save Selected Items, and save the report to your Desktop as BSOD.txt.

•Close the BlueScreenView window... ... ...

•Open BSOD.txt using Notepad and go ... .... ..

•Edit > Select All

•Edit > Copy, and then paste the entire contents of the text file into your next reply.

Blue screen of death is a hardware problem n windows...if u have more than one ram either of ur RAM memory would have been corrupted..u should try to use the system with one ram board at a time to see which ram has failed.

Hey guys thanks for the replies.

caperjack I followed your directions and here's what I got. I tried copy/pasting but I would get an error that said:

"The code snippet in your post is formatted incorrectly. Please use the Code button in the editor toolbar when posting whitespace-sensitive text or curly braces."

So I decided to upload the file. Hope you can take a look at at it,

Thank you very much!

had a quick look and all or most of the files in the report are system files ,and giving that your ram scan showed problems i suggest trying to trouble shoot the ram ,
lets see how many ram modules are in you computer using speecy program .

Lets find out what you have inside.

Use Speccy to provide details of your computer's configuration.

Download, http://209.62.107.107/speccy/download/standard  , install, and run.
After Speccy has finished gathering information, click File > Publish Snapshot.
Click Yes. A web address will be displayed.
Click Copy to Clipboard and paste it in your next post.
Include your computer's manufacturer and model number, if available.

ASUS N53SV-xv1
I have a duel GPU setup on my laptop. It used integrated Intel Graphics when not gaming, but when I'm gaming it automatically used NVidia GeForce GT540M 1GB graphics card.

Theres my Speccy information.

I did the Memory Scan on Crucial's website and this is what it tell me:

Memory:
DDR3 PC3-10600
Memory Type: DDR3 PC3-10600, DDR3 (non-ECC)
Maximum Memory: 8GB
Currently Installed Memory: 8GB
Total Memory Slots: 2
Available Memory Slots: -1
4GB
2GB
2GB
Each memory slot can hold DDR3 PC3-10600 with a maximum of 8GB Kit (4GBx2) per slot.*

Which is accurate because this laptop came with 4gb installed and i put in another 4gb myself

yeah speecy shows 3 sticks
i would still remove them leaving one in at a time and scan to check each one to find any bad ones .i use memtest86, you can download the iso file and create a bootable disk to run the scans ver 4,0a will do .

Do I need a blank CD to create a bootable disk? Or can I use Daemon Toorls, or similar software?

[caperjack]

a blank cd ,because the scan needs to run at bootup,not in a cdrom emulator
