I keep getting BSOD and other issues

[Blazyd]

I have a few problems, and no I didn't install any new software or anything like that recently

1. So for some reason, I've gotten the blue screen of death like 3 times in the past couple days [B]ONLY [/B]when playing DoD:S. I play that game all the time and it never gave me this issue before (other than frequent crashing)

2. Today I got on my computer and realized that the date and time were completely messed up. It said like February 2002 or some shit, so I changed the time and ran system mechanic. My pc restarted in the middle of it doing a system analysis so I logged in again. This time however the date was correct, but the time was like an hour off so I changed it and it's fine now. But what's really weird is that it's saying my anti-virus is out of date (which whenever it is, it automatically updates). The little flag in the bottom right corner of my screen is saying there's PC issues to resolve, one of them being my anti-virus is out of date, but:

and it even says the last update was in 2002 - the time my clock changed to when I first launched my PC today. My anti-virus is even saying that "Virus signature database is out of date" even thought it's also clearly saying that an update is not necessary and that it IS up to date.

Any and all help will be greatly appreciated!

I believe you're simply having hard drive issues, check their S.M.A.R.T. data.

Otherwise it could be a number of hardware problems. Check everything's temperatures during normal gameplay and make sure they're safe. Then clean out your pc for dust and debris and check for any damage (loose wires, exploded capacitors, melted plastic, bent cards), then make sure your graphics drivers, motherboard firmware, audio drivers, ethernet drivers, etc are all up to date.

The time change is due to either your motherboard losing the time, or your system improperly syncing with Microsoft's time servers. If it's the motherboard it could be from it resetting itself, leaving it unplugged for too long, resetting CMOS, or having a bad CMOS battery (At least I think CMOS handles time--).

The antivirus having problems with updates is probably due to your time being wrong. It's writing and reading files it believes are in the past or the future and simply is malfunctioning due to it.
