Board index » Windows Vista » Bluescreen shutdown

Windows Vista29
Hi, hope someone can help me using easy to understand suggestions.

I have been playing a MultiPlayer game for some time with no problems. The

last few days though I have experienced the system shutdown while playing. As

far as I know there have been no updates installed on my sytem and no changes

made.



Here is what I get once I log back onto the system.



Problem signature:

Problem Event Name: BlueScreen

OS Version: 6.0.6000.2.0.0.768.3

Locale ID: 4105



Additional information about the problem:

BCCode: 116

BCP1: 8516E510

BCP2: 8B972FDC

BCP3: C0000001

BCP4: 00000003

OS Version: 6_0_6000

Service Pack: 0_0

Product: 768_1



Files that help describe the problem:

C:\Windows\Minidump\Mini011904-03.dmp

C:\Users\Dennis\AppData\Local\Temp\WER-53867-0.sysdata.xml

C:\Users\Dennis\AppData\Local\Temp\WERDAD3.tmp.version.txt



I have tried updating my Raedon X1550 for updates (no updates required)

I've tried System Restore to different restore points.



Intel(R) Core(TM)2 CPU 6400@2.13GHZ

2045 MB

32-bit OS

Vista Home



If you need more information, just let me know as this unexpected problem is

driving me nuts. Be sure to explain how to get the information needed.



Thanks in advance for any help.



PS: I've tried other games that aren't online ones and have run into the

same problem.

Now you can use flip 3d with your Blue screens to browse among the

hundreds of error messages, blue screens, UAC windows and other crap that

vista has!

Could be a overheating problem.

Maybe your cooling fans need some dusting off.



Are you using ATI's drivers from ATI's website?

As far as I can tell the drivers have no new updates.



I will do a cleaning tomorrow.



If I get the problem and am quick enough to Alt & Tab to the desktop I do

get a message that the display has quit working but has now recovered.

Display Driver r300.



Does that help at all?

which is Catalyst 7.12



If you didn't install this then you don't have the latest.

Windoze update does not update this kind of driver.





Good Luck,



Robert

Tried it but still the same problem :(



Seems to be a Vista problem?

It sounds like a hardware problem.

or

You could try a clean install and see if that helps.

or

Try another Video card.

or

a power supply.



When something fails after doing nothing that would be

something to try. If you are still in warranty you may try that route.



I've had a video card do things like what you describe when it was

under a load not functioning properly.



I'd try a clean install 1st.

Tried a clean install... same problem :(



Is there an easy way to test the video card/power supply?

The best way to test a video card is to buy another.

I'd suggest buying something cheap locally to test.

Then if thatâ??s not the problem take it back.



I've seen things to test pwr supply's but I've never

used one.
