Random crashes (64-bit)

[Sinned87]

Heya. I recently bought a new pc. Im running win 7 64bit. with a 64bit java.
Im getting what seems pretty random bluescreens after 10sec-5mins of playing. It happens with both the original glient and gilbertus.
So i guess it's a problem with my java? could anyone help, anyone been having similiar problems?

System info.
Core i7 - 3.06ghz
Ati HD6970 (R6970)

thanks

update.

Also happens with 32bit java.

Try updating (or downgrading) your GFX card driver.

In case this fails: try some 3D benchmark (eg. 3D Mark) to see if you can reproduce the crashes.
If you can: backup your files, wipe them from the drive and return the system through warranty.

Thanks for the help Granger.

I might have just solved my problems. I updated my realtek HD audio drivers, and i haven't crashed yet.
I hope this was it. Ill post here if crash again.

So if anyone else is having similiar problems, try this. I hope it helps.

today i crashed again. Re-installing didn't seem to help. Here's the report and dump.

Dunno what could be wrong for sure.. but somehow i think it might be the audio drivers.
When i get home at the weekend i will take my old soundcard and install it. See if that helps.

But anyway, if someone understands anything from this feel free to comment.

It seems that you're having hardware problems. If, as you say, your PC is new, there might just be some manufacturing problem.

To begin with, a bluescreen is never a sign of a crash in a user-space program like Java (it's either a system bug, driver bug, or hardware failure), and as you can see in the error report text, the failure doesn't even happen in the Java process' execution context, but in the NT kernel ("PROCESS_NAME: System").

If anything, it could be a driver bug, but seeing that the actual error is a machine check exception -- indicating that the hardware itself is reporting the failure -- that seems unlikely.

Heya, thanks for the comment loftar.

What ive done now is:
-updated bios
-updated all possible drivers
-re-installed windows 7

It hasn't crashed on me yet, but i did only play for like 5 minutes.
Well we will know in a couple of days.

Hey all.

Didn't help. Crashed 3 times in 10 mins now. Sucks. I don't know what the cause of the crash really is now though. It's just wierd. Since it ONLY happens during H&H.
Not that i played much other games anyway.. crysis 2 demo worked fine and Left 4 Dead 2, works fine aswell.

sigh...
