    I've got a gateway p-7805 with windows 7 64 bit installed.
    Updated the graphics with most current from nvidia.

    I'm having all sorts of problem with blue screens and crashes, especially during game play.
    I play modern warfare 2 and bad company 2.
    I can play MW2 for hours with nothing happening. Then from a fresh restart, cold cpu, ill play and i'll get a blue screen or a frozen screen.
    I just bought bad company 2, and I haven't been able to play a full game because it keeps crashing. Setting on BC2 are turned down to medium- same with MW2.
    I cant pinpoint when I get the crashes, because they are completely random.
    What should my first steps of troubleshooting be? :confused:

    My blue screens are saying:
    "page_fault_in_nonpaged_area"

    Hmm, I used to get this a lot before I tweaked with the NVidea drivers.

    Have you tried 182.46? (DOX version - google "DOX 182.46")

    I have a P7805u FX (read: sig), and I used to have this problem on MW2, but no longer have this problem (Win7, 64-bit as well) because of tweaking with video card settings...

    Have you run diagnostic tests with SpeedFan / HWMonitor / SIW?

    Check your temperatures, maybe something overheats and crashes...
    Does this only happen with these two games?

    Joke: Maybe your P7805u doesn't like violence ;)

    My P7805U FX started blue screening after I installed the latest Nvidia drivers off Nvidia's site, uninstalled the newest driver, went back to the last one I had, no problems. I also installed Nvidia System Tools when I put the newest driver on, so I took that off too, I never have had good luck with it, and the system update part is horrible.
