My computer keeps freezing when I try to play a video game. It runs fine with no problems until I try to load up a video game. The game can run anywhere from 1-10mins before it freezes and a static sound emanates from my speakers.
When I go to reset my computer it fails to boot up and my BIOS begins to beep repeatedly.
I cannot start Windows again until I power off completely for a few seconds then start it back up.

I have updated my video card drivers and scanned for spy-ware and viruses but this problem keeps occurring. My original power supply had died out a while ago so I replaced it with an older one I had but it met my video card requirements regardless.

I would appreciate any help I can get to fix this problem it is becoming very repetitive

Is there a certain program I should use to test it?

C:\Windows\Minidump

Copy the files in there to any other folder, zip them, then attach the zip to a post here.

Your wireless G adapter driver is too old for Windows 7 and it's responsible for crashes. Visit the manufacturer's site for the latest driver. If there is no update, then purchase a new adapter to use and uninstall the current driver/software:

Code:
0: kd> lmvm bcmusbdhdlh64
start             end                 module name
fffff880`05fa4000 fffff880`05fe6000   bcmusbdhdlh64 T (no symbols)           
    Loaded symbol image file: bcmusbdhdlh64.sys
    Image path: \SystemRoot\system32\DRIVERS\bcmusbdhdlh64.sys
    Image name: bcmusbdhdlh64.sys
    Timestamp:        Tue Jan 08 15:52:33 2008 (4783E291)
    CheckSum:         0004BAB8
    ImageSize:        00042000
    Translations:     0000.04b0 0000.04e4 0409.04b0 0409.04e4
---------

The same exact scenario applies to your Research In Motion driver/software for your phone:

RimSerial_AMD64 RimSerial_AMD64.sys Mon Nov 24 12:01:01 2008

Uninstall if there is no update available.

---------------

Uninstall Daemon Tools normally, then use the uninstaller found here to remove sptd.sys. Be sure to click Uninstall while using:


DuplexSecure - Downloads

Install PowerISO to replace it as the disc emulation is free forever and perfectly stable:

http://www.PowerISO.com

--------------

Update the video card driver from this link:

Thanks a ton, I really hope these guidelines will help fix this issue.

So the WirelessG driver is responsible for the crashes, even when I play single-player games with no internet connection?

Yes, if you follow my post, the machine will be crash-free.

You're welcome.

(The wireless driver must be removed from the machine no matter what, either by updating or uninstalling and removing the hardware.)

Got to play a game for an hour and a half so I assumed the problem was fixed. Shut down when I was finished, came back and it froze on the start-up screen twice in a row with the horrific static sound too.
I got lucky being able to even log on my Windows account without it freezing, I do not know what the source of the problem is if it is also crashing before Windows loads up.

IF your BIOS is beeping and going past the POST phase then there is an issue in your BIOS.

Check the settings for your RAM timings and settings to be sure that the BIOS and RAM match.

Do you have the latest BIOS firmware installed for your motherboard?

You state your Gigabyte motherboard is "Dual Copper". They're all 2oz. copper boards these days from Gigabyte. What is the Model and version of motherboard from Gigabyte?

Gigabyte uses AWARD BIOS so check this link below and see if the beeping matches any of the codes and related issues.

If you're getting a long beeping or continuous beeping, the more than likely is a RAM issue with incorrect settings or a bad stick of RAM. Possibly a bad motherboard too, but that's a remote chance.
