Windows 7 Help Please - Hardware & Software

Ok im new here on the forums so go easy on me but, ive searched for the forum looking for an answer or similar thread but i havnt found what im looking for so i made this one. I need help. Heres my issue, when im playing garrys mod, on windows 7 64-bit it works for a period of time say 10-20min? then i get a bsod and i check event viewer and googled the error with no much luck, since its probably new, so im here to ask you guys if you can help me. I had bsod before but i fixed that becuase it was caused by Outpost firewall but that was for counterstrike source but i assume they work with the same exe, but i fixed that, and now this, i will post one of the bsod images and dmp when someone informs me how. Heres my specs, Cpu- Amd Phenom II X4 810, at 2.86ghz stable, passed prime 95 Motherboard-Gigabyte MA77OT-UD3P latest bios GPU-Sapphire 4830 latest Catalyst drivers for win 7, 9.7 Soundcard- realtek onboard 7.1 hd, latest drivers for win 7, 2.9 i think it was Ram - DDR3 - SuperTalent (2x3) 6gb total, at 1333mhz, stable passed memtest 86 HD-WD Green Caviar 750gb HD, Run fine OS- Win 7 build (7100) Extra Items Attached- LG blu ray drive Rosewell Card Reader Hp Comfort Keyboard Logitech Wireless mouse Logitech Orbit webcam Linksys wusb54gs Those are the spec and extra stuff attached to the computer and one of the error code are Stop:0x0000003B win32k.sys SYSTEM_SERVICE_EXCEPTION Thats one but it seems to change each time. so ill post another and the dmp when someone informs me Anyone Help please i wanna play gmod again :[

This is why you don't use a beta operating system for your main rig.

[QUOTE=Caps lock;16263970]This is why you don't use a beta operating system for your main rig.[/QUOTE] That is hardly useful, some of us have used windows 7 since the beta and haven't had any issues. I used to dual boot it but I don't even bother with XP anymore, I get far less issues than with XP. @ the op have you tried any other operating systems with your rig before now? It could just be some bad hardware.

So you signed up just to ask this question on Facepunch when you could have signed up on a proper tech forum? [img]http://uploads.diamondbuild.info/uploads/1248589241_ughh.gif[/img]

Anyways, maybe the problem could be overheating, unless it doesn't happen in any other OS. Try monitoring temps with HWmonitor

@ Caps Lock well i decided why not give win 7 a shot it seemed to going fine with everyone else and it was look pretty stable. @Colonel_Veer yes i have i used win xp before, and it has some problems with this comp, for example locked up while playing movies, froze in gmod and had to restart etc, so i gave win 7 a shot it worked fine few issues here and there but it resolved itself later, but this i have no idea if its my drivers or hardware @CombineGuru i did sign up for the proper tech forum but they never sent a verification email, and it has been 4 days since i signed up, so i decided to come here because the forum seems to be full of computer gurus and skillful gamers and builders, and plus since it was a gmod related forum i came here. @djjkxbox im sure its not overheating the CPU is 29c idle and never goes above 40c under full load [editline]05:44PM[/editline] [QUOTE=Nushibo;16268238]@ Caps Lock well i decided why not give win 7 a shot it seemed to going fine with everyone else and it was look pretty stable. @Colonel_Veer yes i have i used win xp before, and it has some problems with this comp, for example locked up while playing movies, froze in gmod and had to restart etc, so i gave win 7 a shot it worked fine few issues here and there but it resolved itself later, but this i have no idea if its my drivers or hardware @CombineGuru i did sign up for the proper tech forum but they never sent a verification email, and it has been 4 days since i signed up, so i decided to come here because the forum seems to be full of computer gurus and skillful gamers and builders, and plus since it was a gmod related forum i came here. @djjkxbox im sure its not overheating the CPU is 29c idle and never goes above 40c under full load[/QUOTE] Update: I think i found what went wrong but can anyone decode for me im not very good with the codes Faulting application name: hl2.exe, version: 0.0.0.0, time stamp: 0x470c11ae Faulting module name: client.dll, version: 0.0.0.0, time stamp: 0x4a69ef34 Exception code: 0xc0000005 Fault offset: 0x0027334f Faulting process id: 0xf28 Faulting application start time: 0x01ca0ccf79a1c575 Faulting application path: c:\program files (x86)\steam\steamapps\********\garrysmod\hl2.exe Faulting module path: c:\program files (x86)\steam\steamapps\e**********\garrysmod\garrysmod\bin\client.dll Also i have serveral dmp files if u need them
