BSOD Help? (With minidump file)

[PixelVandalism]

I've been getting the occasional BSOD for a while now, the most recent was leaving a BF3 server.

I've attached the only mini dump file in the C:\Windows\ Minidump

Any help would be appreciated.

I'll check the minidump but also post the log from bluescreenview.

Download BlueScreenView
No installation required.
Unzip downloaded file and double click on BlueScreenView.exe file to run the program.
When scanning is done, go Edit>Select All.
Go File>Save Selected Items, and save the report as BSOD.txt.
Open BSOD.txt in Notepad, copy all content, and paste it into your next reply.

A few hours beforehand I cleaned my computer, so the only file for it to read was the one provided in my first post.

As suspected, its your video card driver. What ATI card do you have, what OS and what psu?

 

[PixelVandalism]

I have a 6850, Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit, and an OCZ fatal1ty 550w PSU.

 

[johnb35]

The psu should be enough to push the video card. Do you have the latest drivers?

In my experience so far, a dxgmms1.sys BSOD was a sign of a faulty card. Both with my crappy palit GTX 460 and various other cards (AMD & Nvidia)

Assuming your drivers are up to date, try running MSI Kombustor for a while.
