Hello PCHelpForum. For the the past months some bsods are killing the joy of playing on my new pc, they all occur after around 4-8 hours of gaming. I did around 4 os installs with proper drivers and I just can`t get rid of it and all are caused by the driver dxgmms1.sys.

I tryed different versions of video drivers, new bios for my motherboard, 4passes in memtest86+ with no errors, firmly placed my hardware in their place twice. Also all components have normal temps.



System Specs:

• Mobo: Asrock 970 Extreme3
• CPU: Phenom x4 Phenom 965 BE
• GPU: Gigabyte HD 6870 windforce
• RAM: Patriot 4gb 1333mhz (1 stick)
• HDD: WD Cavier Blue 500gb Sata3, 16mb
• PSU: Seasonic S12II-520w Bronze
• Case: HAF XM

Today I made a new os install and I was very careful with what drivers and software I installed and after a few hours I got a bsod.
What could be the problem? Some friends are saying it might be the video card or the motherboard.

I am certain its not the video card driver. Today I made a fresh OS install (win7 ultimate 64bit, 5th install in 4months and no luck) and I properly installed my drivers. That bsod occured after 4 hours of light gaming+skype.
What I did:
1. Windows Install
2. Motherboard drivers
3. Let Windows update
4. Video card drivers
5. A few programs

I used the PCHF tool. Is something wrong?

Yes I did between step 3 and 4 but windows already had a up-to-date directx so it didn`t install anything.
I`m sorry I can`t remember which I took, is that the right one? If so I`ll make another one.

I just did the Disk Check and System Files Check, here is a screen with the results: Result Image

I already did a memtest86+ run for around 5hours and it finished 4 passes with no errors.

And here is the CPU-Z Report.

Should I close applications while doing these?

Here is the result: New System Result, seems fine.
Sorry for double post.

Hello.

I see this is still tagged as "new", I don't want to step any toes. The PCHF tool you used is made by me, it's one of the latest versions.

As for your problem, download this http://www.ozone3d.net/benchmarks/fur/ run the burn in test for about 10 minutes and then create a shortcut for us.

It would be very favorable if you could produce more memory dumps, one is not much to work with.

Salut mkey82!

I don`t know what you meant by shortcut but I ran it for 30m and here is a screen with the result: Furmark (my room temperature is around 30 degree Celsius)

I do have 2 other memory dumps but these are the ones that I got with the old OS in weekend and at the beginning of this week. There I had a 12.7beta ati video driver and nod32 as antivirus and my hdd was quite full. Now I have 12.6 and Windows Security Essentials + I formatted my whole hdd. And now still as then I get bsods caused by the driver dxgmms1.sys .

I meant screenshot, but you caught on that correctly. Post some more memory dumps when you get more crashes.

Alright I will. Thank you both for showing interest in my problem.

You're welcome. Forgot to mention above that those temperatures are perfectly fine so it's not an GPU overheating problem.
