  hi,
  i posted about this long ago.
  
  but this time it's always appearing when I start up my computer.
  after rebooting it will be fine, then when I play games for awhile I get BSOD again.
  
  so rebooted, fine again.
  
  so BSOD appears like this all the time (I noticed) :
  started comp > BSOD > play games > BSOD > comp is fine
  
  I scanned my whole computer. No viruses/spyware found.
  
  Any Idea what's the problem? I will take down the errors when I get the BSOD again.

  My guess is
  
  1. GPU or CPU too hot
  2. Motherboard/ GPU and software might be conflicting

  If it occurs when you play games ONLY, here are the possibilities:
  
  1. Anti game cheat drivers conflict with Windows
  2. Your drivers are out-of-date
  
  For both, try updating. The worst solution is don't play games. Those anti game cheat drivers are known for causing BSOD.

  I think only GameGuard causes BSOD. Others simply make the game crash at most.

  I didn't play Maple anymore, so wasn't GameGuard.
  I was playing a Singleplayer game.
  Anyway I updated my driver already, if the BSOD appears again I will take down the error.
  
  Thanks for helping

  Since I updated my driver, I didn't get any BSOD anymore .
  The problem is caused by one of the driver files.
  
  Yesterday when I uninstalled my old driver and rebooted I get BSOD.
  The file which caused the problem is the nvidia file or whatever, nv4_disp or whatever..

  Help!
  I got the BSOD again when I started the computer today.
  Then rebooted, still got BSOD.
  
  Here is what is says when I get the BSOD :
  A problem has been detected and Windows has been shut down to prevemt damage to your computer.
  IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL
  
  Technical Information :
  STOP : 0x0000000A (0x00000008, 0x00000062, 0x00000000, 0x804E6C76)

  Looks like some driver is unable to read the memory, so it BSOD.
  
  Can you please do a memory test.
  
  http://www.memtest.org/
  
  Download and burn the ISO to a CD. Make sure that before burning, tell the program to burn it as a bootable CD.
  
  Then boot up to it and run the test.
  
  A simple way would be to use BurnCDCC.
  
  http://www.terabyteunlimited.com/downloads/burncdcc.zip
  
  Extract the file, double click to run it. Browse to the ISO file that you've downloaded earlier and click on Start to burn it. It will do everything nicely for you.
  
  If the memory test results are OK, can you please check the Windows Update website for updated drivers.
