as the title says, for months I've been battling to fix my Windows 7 PC. Allow me to give as many details as possible.
So, first thing I did was check when I got the Blue Screen. They only occurred when playing certain video games. Thats it. I can play low intensity games just fine (Played Pathologic Classic HD for several hours to test this). I've done multiple tests to get an answer. I've done the following tests:
3D FurMark
Memtest86+
Chkdsk
Sfc scan
Updated Drivers
Scanned for Malware
Temperature Tests
None of these tests yielded an answer. Memtest86+ and Furmark I ran for several hours to see if they may get something, but they got me no where.
Here is some information and specs of my computer:
Desktop
I've built and owned this for about 5 years
Many custom parts, but if it helps, the processor is an Intel Core i7-6700 3.40GHz
Windows 7(Bootlegged)
64-bit
Service Pack 1 is installed
Local Disk (C:) is 232 GB with 9.20 free. NotSSD (E:) is 931 GB with 665 GB free , Samsun SSD 850 EVO 250G & WD WD10EZEX-00WN4A0, respectively
Windows has never been re-installed
Never replaced the hard drives
16.0 GB of RAM
So, I'm incredibly confused. My PC doesn't overheat easily. I ran FurMark with higher settings than any game I own, and it didn't crash nor overheat after several hours, but yet I get a BSOD after playing Left 4 Dead 2 or TW: Rome II for 10 minutes. Thought it was a RAM or processor issue, but Chkdsk and Memtest86+ got me no where.
From what I've read, 0x00000101 is processor related, so most of my efforts have been centered around that.
Any and all help or advise is highly appreciated!
