The writing on the blue screen tells you what went wrong (sometimes). Try reading it and seeing what file/driver is causing the crash. Likeliest it's going to be something audio or video. Then try to fix the offending problem with alternate versions of the file from the card's manufacturer. If that doesn't work... cry and wait for patches like the rest of us.

That sounds like (from the file name and this is pure conjecture since I'm of the ATI VPU Recovery crash family) an NVidia driver. What's your card? What version driver you using? Have you tried to see if there's newer or older drivers that work better?

 

Try to use the latest drivers from www.nvidia.com. Then the next oldest, then the next oldest. etc. until you get good results or tired of trying. Be sure to completely uninstall the drivers you're currently using before installing other versions since usually they don't work right if you just overwrite.

 

Alternatively check to be sure your video card is both a: getting enough power and b: staying cool enough.

Well I cant read that fast case the whole thing just flashes for like a second. I think it is a memory issue. I will tweek some mobo settings to see if it helps after I re-format.Be back in like 2 hours or so..

Hello, i got the same problem.. a memory problem i think.. anyway if you want to read the blue screen -> go in start->Control Panel->System->Advanced->After click on Setting at Startup & Recovery-> Uncheck Automatically restart

Now you can read the blue screen smile.gif

get Driver Cleaner 3 from www.guru3d.com . This will totally erase any traces of you old video drivers, then download the latest official drivers, try not using tweaked ones.
