SOLVED Freezes while playing FPS

[Kenrin]

I've been getting random lockups only while playing FPS games. The crashes seem to happen less if I don't run Razer synapse program. Generally they do not autorestart or BSOD so it is hard to track. Today it created a minidump.

Edit: I guess I should also mention everything is fully up to date. I don't run any antivirus and I'm pretty tech savvy. Probably has something to do with the nvidia drivers.

Hello and welcome to the forum.
Looks like you have some old drivers that need your attention
lvpopf64.sys 5/11/2007
lvuvc64.sys 5/11/2007
LVUSBS64.sys 5/11/2007
Probably associated with a Logitech WebCam
rtl8187.sys 12/9/2009
Probably associated with an Old Realtek wireless adapter driver.
npf.sys 2/28/2013
Probably associated with WinPCap a Windows Packet Capture program.
Fix them..... update, upgrade, or uninstall or break them.
If that doesn't seem to help with your issues, then.....
Make sure all your hardware drivers are up to date including BIOS, Chipset, Storage Controllers, etc.,

Then.....
With old drivers taken care of and any new drivers available installed, we are left with

BugCheck A, {fffffac5a50f0e70, 2, 0, fffff800438a2c75}
Probably caused by : memory_corruption

IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL (a)
An attempt was made to access a pageable (or completely invalid) address at an
interrupt request level (IRQL) that is too high. This is usually
caused by drivers using improper addresses.

AND why I first mentioned drivers, but.....

This can indicate an issue with your hard disk or with your system memory.
Use the native Check Disk utility to examine your hard drive
Right click the Start Button and choose Command Prompt (Admin) and in the command prompt window type
chkdsk C: /R
hit enter
answer Y when prompted
hit enter
type
exit
reboot and let it run, this can take a long time, do not interrupt it

Use MemTest86+ to test your system memory.
Download the ISO from here http://www.memtest.org/
Burn it to a CD or USB ThumbDrive and boot your system from that and let it run 6 passes.... unless it throws a bunch of errors early on. Any errors would suggest the culprit is system memory and will require you to further diagnose which module or slot is involved and replace it.

Ugh, guess its time to buy a new wireless adapter. Alfa AWUS036H doesn't have any windows 10 or even windows 8 drivers, not even realtek branded. The rest I can probably resolve although i'm not sure why winPcap is so old. Use it for GNS3 CCNA labs. A quick few searches show others having numerous issues with the same adapter.

Hardware is good and new and tested repeatedly. Not sure about the GPU memory though.

Thanks for the help. I'll wait until I get a new adapter in until I mark as solved.

I don't think it is premature to say I think this is solved. I found a different wireless driver that is a bit troublesome with disconnects and random lag but doesn't completely lock up my PC. Going on crash free since midnight Saturday

I'll deal with it until my adapter comes in the mail, thanks Trouble.

Best of luck.
Let us know if the blue screen should return.
