Hi. Straight to the point; my computer gets blue screens every so often, like once a day.

On the blue screen, it says:

SYSTEM SERVICE EXCEPTION

0x0000003B


Slot 3 and 4 are clickable, but the entries are greyed out.


What could be wrong? Please help!! I am desperate :(


Specs:

MS Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit SP1
AMD Athlon II X4 635 Processor
4GB RAM
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 460

I am not sure how to update my motherboard chipset. But I ran Driver Reviver and the only things it reported to be out of date are:

ATI I/O Communications Processor SMBus Controller
High Definition Audio Device
Atheros AR8131 PCI-E Gigabit Ethernet Controller (NDIS 6.20)
Standard Dual Channel PCI IDE Controller
Standard AHCI 1.0 Serial ATA Controller

It also says my 460 is out of date, but I just clean installed my driver so that can't be the case. I don't know if the things above are the problem / and I don't know where to find the drivers for the things mentioned above.

I downloaded the MSI LiveUpdate 5 and installed the BIOs + drivers via the app.

Am I good to go now? Not sure if the BSOD will come back or not...

Cool, OK. So now you have done the base fixes.

See how it goes. If it Blue screens we can go a bit further. A lot of the time out-of-date driver cause the problems. That is why it is the starting point.
We should know within 24 hours if the driver update fixed it.

Cool, if there is no more BSOD's that's great.

If and when you think it is solved could you please mark the thread as solved.
