Hi, lately I have been getting a BSOD error playing games such as GTA IV on high settings with my newly built PC when I get about 10 minutes into them sometimes longer. My mini dump is attached. (SYSTEM_SERVICE_EXCEPTION) (0x0000003b)

This should be a fun one to solve. I always like the gamers and helping out.

The crash is blamed on your video card driver, but that is much less than likely. To put it bluntly, it's not.

Use !analyze -v to get detailed debugging information.

BugCheck 3B, {c0000005, fffff88004c2d705, fffff880037377e0, 0}

Probably caused by : atikmdag.sys ( atikmdag+35e705 )

SYSTEM_SERVICE_EXCEPTION (3b)
An exception happened while executing a system service routine.
Arguments:
Arg1: 00000000c0000005, Exception code that caused the bugcheck
Arg2: fffff88004c2d705, Address of the instruction which caused the bugcheck
Arg3: fffff880037377e0, Address of the context record for the exception that caused the bugcheck
Arg4: 0000000000000000, zero.

The cause is very likely near 100% to be sptd.sys and Daemon Tools along with what I'll tell you next.

Please uninstall Daemon Tools in the normal method.

Then, use the installer/uninstaller found here to remove sptd.sys:

Reboot.

Another notorious bsod cause are old Razer drivers. Lo and behold you have one from 2005, which is no good:

Please update your particular Razer device from the following website:

Your Gigabit ethernet driver asked me to tell you please update me:

L1C62x64 L1C62x64.sys Wed Apr 01 01:09:17 2009

Let this MSI page scan for latest drivers and install:

---------------------


I think that should do it. If you have more problems, please let me know by posting a new crash dump after taking care of the above.

If no further problems, please let us know about that instead.

Good luck and enjoy.

Forgot to tell ya -

PowerISO is perfectly stable for drive/disc emulation under Windows 7. I recommend using that, as the emulation is free forever:

Thanks, hasn't crashed after I removed SPTD.

Glad to hear it. Sptd.sys should be banned worldwide. lol
