    Constant BSOD Errors. All The Time


    Hi all. The title of the thread says it all. I've been having BSOD errors basically everyday since I built this computer. Whether I'm playin WOW or workin on some music in Fruity Loops or just on the internet. Actually just had 2 today which is why I registered earlier for this forum, Haha.

    I think the problem may be my Windows 7. It's a legit copy. I guess something got screwed up during install or something. But I just need a second opinion from you guys. I've zipped the minidump files and attached them to this post. I'm so tired of this crap. It started out every now and then, but I get at least 1 if not more of these a day now.

    Thanks in advance! If anyone needs anymore info about my CPU, please let me know.

    EDIT: Sorry guys. Rar should be full now.

    The folder was empty. Follow these instructions for uploading: Blue Screen of Death (BSOD) Posting Instructions

    Edited to add: Rich, I'm glad it was just not me. :)

    Goodness, there are a bunch of them. I looked at the four most recent. These are hardware/hardware related problems.

    SYSTEM_THREAD_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED_M (1000007e)
    This is a very common bugcheck.  Usually the exception address pinpoints
    the driver/function that caused the problem.  Always note this address
    as well as the link date of the driver/image that contains this address.
    Some common problems are exception code 0x80000003.  This means a hard
    coded breakpoint or assertion was hit, but this system was booted
    /NODEBUG.  This is not supposed to happen as developers should never have
    hardcoded breakpoints in retail code, but ...
    If this happens, make sure a debugger gets connected, and the
    system is booted /DEBUG.  This will let us see why this breakpoint is
    happening.
    Arguments:
    Arg1: c0000005, The exception code that was not handled
    Arg2: 922a140f, The address that the exception occurred at
    Arg3: 9315e7fc, Exception Record Address

    APC_INDEX_MISMATCH (1)
    This is a kernel internal error. The most common reason to see this
    bugcheck is when a filesystem or a driver has a mismatched number of
    calls to disable and re-enable APCs. The key data item is the
    Thread->KernelApcDisable field. A negative value indicates that a driver
    has disabled APC calls without re-enabling them.  A positive value indicates
    that the reverse is true. This check is made on exit from a system call.
    Arguments:
    Arg1: 82e7b510, address of system function (system call)
    Arg2: 00000000, Thread->ApcStateIndex << 8 | Previous ApcStateIndex

    KERNEL_MODE_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED_M (1000008e)
    This is a very common bugcheck.  Usually the exception address pinpoints
    the driver/function that caused the problem.  Always note this address
    as well as the link date of the driver/image that contains this address.
    Some common problems are exception code 0x80000003.  This means a hard
    coded breakpoint or assertion was hit, but this system was booted
    /NODEBUG.  This is not supposed to happen as developers should never have
    hardcoded breakpoints in retail code, but ...
    If this happens, make sure a debugger gets connected, and the
    system is booted /DEBUG.  This will let us see why this breakpoint is
    happening.
    Arguments:
    Arg1: c0000005, The exception code that was not handled
    Arg2: 98a152b1, The address that the exception occurred at
    Arg3: 9d857be0, Trap Frame
    Arg4: 00000000

    Two of the dumps indicate c0000005 which is memory corruption. Three point to Windows system core drivers as the cause - which is highly unlikely - and one points to atikmdag.sys, which is an ATI Radeon driver.

    Let's begin by checking your RAM. Download a copy of Memtest86+ - Advanced Memory Diagnostic Tool and burn the ISO to a CD using http://isorecorder.alexfeinman.com/W7. Boot from the CD, and leave it running for at least 7 passes. Errors, if any, will show on your screen in red. Post back with your results.

    In looking at your drivers, I may have found the cause or at least part of the cause:

    ASACPI.sys Thu Aug 12 22:52:52 2004

    Old versions of this driver are a known BSOD cause and this is the oldest version I have seen.
    Please visit this link: ASUSTeK Computer Inc.-Support- download_item_mkt
    Scroll down to the Utilities category, then scroll down to the "ATK0110 driver for WindowsXP/Vista/Windows 7 32&64-bit " (it's about the 8th item down).

    Download and install it.

    Go to C:\Windows\System32\drivers to check and make sure that the ASACPI.sys file is date stamped from 2009 or 2010 (NOT 2004 or 2005).


    Please remove any CD virtualization programs such as Daemon Tools and Alcohol 120%. They use a driver, found in your dmp, sptd.sys, that is notorious for causing BSODs. Use this SPTD uninstaller when you're done: DuplexSecure - Downloads. Do not reinstall; only uninstall.

    Post back when you have updated ASACPI.sys and uninstalled sptd.sys.

    I also find other out of date drivers. In general, Windows does not like older drivers. They can and do cause conflicts and memory corruption.

    ASACPI.sys Thu Aug 12 22:52:52 2004
    cledx.sys Mon May 09 14:08:41 2005
    cmudax3.sys Fri May 22 03:02:59 2009
    nvsmu.sys Mon Jun 29 03:36:34 2009
    ymidusbw.sys Mon Aug 03 22:14:52 2009



    How To Find Drivers:

    - I have listed links to most of the drivers in the code box below. Please use the links there to see what info I've found about those drivers.
    - search Google for the name of the driver
    - compare the Google results with what's installed on your system to figure out which device/program it belongs to
    - visit the web site of the manufacturer of the hardware/program to get the latest drivers (DON'T use Windows Update or the Update driver function of Device Manager).
    - if there are difficulties in locating them, post back with questions and someone will try and help you locate the appropriate program.


    - - The most common drivers are listed on this page: Driver Reference
    - - Driver manufacturer links are on this page: Drivers and Downloads

    Thank you so much for your help.

    I have updated the Motherboard drivers and it's stamped 2009. There is no updated driver for the CMedia audio driver. (cmudax3.sys) I have also uninstalled sptd.sys

    Checking the other drivers and downloading the MemTest now.

    You are welcome and thank you for the progress report.

    Did you try this site for the cmudax3.sys driver? C-Media Electronics, Inc. Is this a software program? If so, you might want to consider uninstalling it if it causes problems.

    Ok, went to the CMedia website and downloaded the very first CMI8738-LX update.

    My soundcard is a Turtle Beach Montego DDL. And I read elsewhere on this forum that the CMI8738 chip runs this card. So when I installed the update and went into System32, the cmudax3.sys file is now stamped 2/26/2007 instead of 2009! I think the Turtle Beach drivers from their site are a little more up to date. I'm gonna reinstall those.

    And as far as nvsmu.sys, which is my Nvidia nForce 720a, the driver release date on the site is May 11th, 2009 so I don't think it's anything new.

    I'll post back when I get the memtest done.

    Oh, and FYI, ymidusbw.sys is for my USB-MIDI keyboard. A Yamaha YPT-400. I do music production on the side. I went to their site and they have no new drivers as of today.

    EDIT:
    Actually the cmudax3.sys is stamped 2009. But the .DLL cmudax3 is what's stamped 2007. Would this be the cause of some kind of error?

    Ok. I ran 2 passes last night and no errors came back. But I stopped it cause I needed to do some things before I went to bed. I booted MemTest up and ran it all night expecting the same thing and I was unpleasantly surprised. I have attached a quick table, that I typed, of what I saw. All red. Didn't know how to scroll down (or how to save the test data) so there could have been more maybe.

    EDIT:

    If it's any help, I'm also attaching a .html report generated by CPUID so you can get a feel for what my computer is running. It will be in a .rar since I can't attach html files.
