Could use some help understanding this dump analysis

Heya,

I've been getting bluescreens while playing games these last couple of days. Did a clean driver sweep, and reinstalled fresh drivers for my devices.

Didn't work, though, so I figured out how to open the .dmp files Windows create when it bluescreens, just can't make much sense of it.

Hope someone here can point me in the right direction. Thanks.

This is the latest. Happened 30 minutes ago:

Nope. Haven't changed any hardware since I bought it (2 years ago) and never had a bluescreen until about a week ago, when it happened the first time.

On that note, have you cleaned the cake out? Creeping blue screens are a good indicator of hardware failure resulting from overheating (especially if you're gaming). Clean fans, PCB, heatsinks, etc on CPU and GPU and see if that helps.

Thanks for the replies.

I've updated all drivers and cleaned out all fans for dust.

Everything has always been running at default speed, since I bought it.

Installed and ran all the OCCT tests. The CPU test told me the CPU was getting too hit (at 90 degrees. It's an I7 920)

Ain't really any thermal grease left, either, and it's just the cooler that came with it.

Guess next step is fixing that. Maybe get a new cooler for it?
