Question
-
First, here are my computer spec
Processor: Intel Core i3 2100
GPU: Intel HD Graphics 2000
Motherboard: MSI H67MA-E45
Several weeks ago, I upgraded my computer from Windows 7 to Windows. This is the beginning of the problem. When I play games, the computer will either go bluescreen or the game will freeze. The game I am playing is Dragon Nest, which is an online game. Here is my dump:

So the driver dump_wmimmc.sys is the cause. Updaet the driver or remove the tool/Game which contains the file."A programmer is just a tool which converts caffeine into code"
