Default Re: BLUESCREEN OF DEATH caused by some drivers (S.O.S)

Hi everyone, first post

I used to get the BSOD whenever I ran a 3D app like a game. Sometimes it would take 2 hours, or just 2 minutes, but it would always happen. I tried upgrading parts and getting new drivers but nothing worked. Until . . .

I was reading one of the guides on this website and it recommended a BIOS flash as a 'tweak'. So I did it, and all my problems went away. I haven't seen the BSOD ever since.

All you have to do is go to the MB manufacturers website and they should have specific instructions for BIOS flashing. It might not be the solution for you, but I think it's worth a shot.

My system specs:
Gigabyte GA-8SIML
P4 1.7GHz
Asus Radeon 9550
512MB RAM (Hynix)
Maxtor 40GB HD
XP pro - sp2
