Am I doing to much with my pc?

[BlindMelon7]

I just got a couple of BSODs. Is running WOW (full graphics), MSN, FF, UTorrent and Foobar 2k all at once asking too much of my system? WOW runs fine and my audio doesn't skip so I presumed it was ok. I'm also running 2 screens at 1280x1024. Could this have caused a bsod?

Any number of things can cause that, but you do increase the chances by running so much, sure.

How many times has it happened in similar circumstances?

"bsod" doesn't tell anything

"bsod mentioning nv4_disp.dll" or "bsod mentioning irql_not_less_or_equal" is more helpful

[BlindMelon7]

Oh ok, sorry. "bad pool header". Its happened 3 times now.

Have you tried Googling for the error message?

"bsod mentioning nv4_disp.dll" or "bsod mentioning irql_not_less_or_equal" is more helpful

irql_not_less_or_equal is a driver error of some sort im having it happen to me every now and then but cant work out what drivers doing it!

At a guess i would say that nv4_disp.dll is something related to a GFX card sound like Nvidia thats just a guess though

good guess. how about "tbirdhd.sys"

i'm sure thats sarcasm but its a Philips (Acoustic Edge ?) soundcard driver


I'm not sure why you piped up with the bit about nv4_disp sTrAnGeFrUiT cos i'm pretty sure it was being used as an example

cookie for streetster

as for the problem: if your pc crashes under *any/ circumstances, something's broken

[killie99]

what's the cpu temp like when it BSOD's? If you are overclocking then turn it down a tad.

[BlindMelon7]

Its running at 32c under load and its overclocked to 2.4. I tried googling the error but I didn't find anything useful.

[directhex]

what networking devices do you have?

[CrazyMonkey]

You get any DUMP files? (.dmp) should be somewhere in you WINDOWS directory.

If you can post them here so people (maybe me if i have time) will debug them for you.

[kalniel]

Does it happen if you don't overclock anything?

[BlindMelon7]

Ah! I underclocked it and its working again . I don't get it. It was 24 hours Prime stable and 2.4 isn't a lot to ask for a 3200 is it? Oh well, it probably didn't make much difference anyway.
