Greetings Community,
I have been racking my brain these past 2 weeks in regards to my computer (which is running Windows 7) and the fact that it is randomly restarting while playing Star Wars: The Old Republic.
I checked my event viewer and it was giving me the Kernel 41 which I know is restart due to a BSOD. I could not find my log file since I had it set up to restart and dump the error to file. I have since turned that off so that if it happens again, I can see the stop error.
But, first, let me tell you what I have done. I have used the windows memory check to check the memory. In addition to that I have used memtest and went through a 6 hour memory test. Both passed. I then used seatools to check the hard drive...that checked out fine as well. I then reformatted my hard drive and did a clean install after backing up all my information. I installed all the updates, played the game, it was fine. I updated my computer again with the latest security updates and then it started again. So, through process of elimination, I am assuming it is the security updates that is causing it to BSOD since it started happening after I got the updates before the reformat. I have also checked my BIOS to check on CPU temperatures and got only 37-39 degrees Celcius immediately after a crash.
But, there is also another issue that is going on as well. Upon startup, I keep getting the sound as if something is being plugged into a USB port and I checked the event viewer and I see I keep getting a "bonjour service" error. The thing about that is, outside of just my keyboard and mouse, I have not had anything plugged into the USB ports outside of my external hard drive (which was only plugged in once to get the information I had backed up) and the USB drive to run memtest for the above mentioned issue.
Is there anything I am missing or should I just reformat once again and start from scratch and watch which updates I am applying.
