BSOD when gaming

[rallisubie]

its a 0x00000116 error code. when im in the middle of a game, it will freeze, halt my screen, and blue screen. it can take a couple of hours or it can take a few minutes. i ran diagnostics and all is fine with the memory(or so it says), even when i revert all of my hardware to factory i still get the same errors. i downloaded all the drivers. am i missing something, or am i alone in this?

Hi, welcome to the forum.

I suggest checking for patches for the games.  I have been having the same problem with my games.  In most cases, the problem has been solved by installing the latest combined patch.  It contains all of the patches from the time the game was released.  It is a rare game that doesn't require a patch to run properly.

Let us know if this helps or not.

This is usually happens when nVidia drivers are crashing, or VGA has RAM errors.

Please try to Run This test in order to get informations about your VGA, if it is works fine or not.

Don't bother with Furmark.

Do you have an nVidia or ATi video card?

Also, are there any files listed on the BSOD?
