BCP4 : 00000001 OSVer : 5_1_2600 SP : 2_0 Product : 768_1

Two different crash signatures were posted: BCCode 100000EA and STOP 0x0000009C. The 0xEA bugcheck is THREAD_STUCK_IN_DEVICE_DRIVER — a thread in a device driver (frequently the display driver) spinning until Windows times out. The 0x9C bugcheck is MACHINE_CHECK_EXCEPTION — a fatal machine check that normally points to a hardware-level fault (CPU, memory, power, or motherboard). Seeing a 0xEA under game load and then a 0x9C suggests either a graphics/driver issue under stress that escalates to a hardware fault, or two separate problems happening in sequence. THREAD_STUCK_IN_DEVICE_DRIVER (0xEA) documentation MACHINE_CHECK_EXCEPTION (0x9C) documentation. (learn.microsoft.com)

Triage to try first should be driver-focused because 0xEA commonly implicates the GPU/driver. Extract and inspect minidumps with a simple tool like BlueScreenView or with WinDbg to see the module on the stack. If the display driver shows up, do a full driver wipe and reinstall — either use the vendor installer’s “Perform a clean installation” option or remove drivers in Safe Mode with Display Driver Uninstaller (DDU), then install a known-good Nvidia driver (try a stable older release if the latest is causing trouble). (nirsoft.net)

If crashes persist after drivers are addressed, aggressively rule out hardware: run a full RAM test with MemTest86, monitor GPU/CPU temperatures under load (HWMonitor / GPU‑Z), clean and reseat the video card and power connectors, remove any overclocking, and test with a minimal hardware set or a known-good PSU/GPU if available. Machine-check errors demand eliminating memory, power, and overheating causes before assuming a software root. MemTest86 (RAM testing) and vendor/CPU guidance on machine check errors are useful references. (memtest86.com)

As already pointed out, the two‑prong/“cheater” adapter removes a true equipment ground and can let electrical noise or faults affect sensitive hardware; arrange a properly grounded outlet or have a licensed electrician evaluate the room (a GFCI is a code-approved option for ungrounded circuits). These safety/grounding issues should be resolved before extensive stress-testing. Why two-prong outlets are unsafe / grounding options Three-prong adapter background. (mrelectric.com)

Probably a hardware error, some possibilities are listed here:

i no i hve seen that so many times in my quest. i think my comp isnt geting enough power from the wall. i have a 3 to 2 prong converter

Having a two-prong adapter won't effect the power to your system, but it will certainly effect the grounding of it. I don't know if this would cause your freezing problem, but it can lead to serious damage to your system. You should get your computer connected to a properly grounded (earth) connection as soon as possible, even if you need to use an extension cord to do so.

uh oh :cry: will do thank you for help! hmmm in my room tehre are no outlets with 3 prongs. i guess i will have to convert one somehow....

Just changing the outlet won't do it because the outlet will still need to be connected to the earth. I suggest you hire an electrician to do the job; I know they're expensive, but it's best to have the job done right.
