BSOD problem. Fine in safe mode?

Posted by admin on January 20th, 2010

Anyone know what "BCCode 116" means in windows error reporting? I’ve been having issues with my graphics card (both updated and rolled back drivers–no help). I underclocked it and downloaded omega drivers and it seems to be doing a little better. This probably has something to do with the infamous nvlddmkm.sys error message I’ve been getting, as well. Thx in advance.

4g ram should be plenty for vista x64. http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/238760-44-memory-vista

I think the newest nvidia drivers are what got me in the situation i’m in to begin with. Nvidia 8000 series are notoriously buggy (didn’t research that when i bought the card). I also uninstalled all windows updates back to the date when I started having problems.

My PC is running very hot. Suggestions?

Posted by admin on September 13th, 2009

My PC is overclocked a fair amount higher than the way it started out and since it requires so much power and it’s wintertime (where the heat is on all day) it has been running very hot recently. I checked with Speedfan and it said it was in the high 90’s while playing Left 4 Dead maxed out. It was actually reverting the overclock multiplier back to 6x from 9x to try and cool it down (and changing the multiplier without changing the Mhz value causes a pretty dramatic loss in performance). I recently opened a window to let the frigid winter air in, which I obviously would prefer not to do, but it seems like the only option. Now it’s at about a steady 72-73 while I’m just on the internet and stuff and the high 80’s up to about 92 while playing intensive games. Am I going on a fast track to ruining my PC like this? Do you have any suggestions for me (preferably that don’t include buying anything expensive)? I would prefer not to scale back my OC if I can help it, as I want to play Fallout 3 and Mirror’s Edge at these settings (once you go max you can’t go back). If someone could help me I would really appreciate it! Thanks!

My dxdiag (sorry about the long post):
Also I have an Antec 900 case with the top front small fan seemingly broken.

Well I overclocked the Quad Core because every game (even Crysis) except for Left 4 Dead I play is unable to take advantage of multiple cores, so it’s as if I had one 2.4 Ghz core instead an added up 9.6 Ghz one. :/

Walkthrough for Overclocking my CPU?

Posted by admin on September 11th, 2009

Hi. I want to overclock my CPU from 2.4 Quad to something higher (preferably in the 3’s). I don’t really know that much about doing this stuff in the BIOS though or any problems that can possibly arise while doing it that might need on-the-fly fixing. Can someone give me a walkthrough for overclocking my CPU with a list of things that may go wrong while doing it and how to fix them? I’ll post specs underneath this.
