BSOD - File Transfer to USB drive

This has happened on all versions of Windows 7. Upgrading and fresh install has the same results.

Transferring a 45GB file to a USB drive will sometimes transfer to 25% then I get a white screen causing me to reboot. Sometimes the screen stays gray and if I have any open windows they flash black. There are times when the file actually completes, however the status bar hangs at around 25%.

If someone could check out this dump file and assist I would be grateful.

TIA...

Ok, new install not allowing Windows to update anything on install. The problem still exists. The problem is not just with file transfers to a USB drive, but transfers from any drive to any drive causes the transfer window to stop, the screen goes black and then any open window stays black and the screen flashes gray. Sometimes just before the whole screen goes black about 1" of the top of my screen turns black. I've also got a solid white screen causing me to reboot. I've also got a BSOD that auto reboots throwing a recovery error.

This is really frustrating because Windows 7 runs so well except this one problem. I'm guessing that I may need to wait for the official release as this problem shouldn't exist in the RTM. I have absolutely no problems with Vista so why in the heck is Windows 7 having this problem. I know it's BETA and these problems exist. I now others are having these problems and I hope MS has them resolved so, I'm installing 7127 and I see there is another later release, so I'm off to see it has this problem.

You have a bugcheck 124 error which is a fatal hardware error. I would guess that this is related to your graphics card. there is a known issue relating to the PCI Express bus. Have a look at this:

BSOD 0x00000124 - Windows 7 RC1 Upgrade from Windows Vista Ultimate

I think that the issue has been corrected in build 7127.

I'm running bios 1002 which is the latest. I have installed the
15.35_nforce_win7_64bit_international_whql drivers from Nvidia. I'm using Catlyst 9.3 drivers for Vista which are the only ones for my x1950 graphics card. I installed only the wireless drivers for the wireless card and not the complete app. All the other drivers are Win 7 native.

Aside from that I've got Office 2007 installed, Logitech Setpoint, Skype, Firefox, Debugging Tools, Nokia Pc Suite and Avg free edition. After having resolved a cpu overheating issue recently my machine is running like a barefoot man over hot coals.

The first dump (STOP 0x124) doesn't give us much info, but the second points to your ATI drivers while they're working with DirectX. I'd suggest trying other ATI drivers (I use the one's from Windows Update on my 4870 w/o issues).

Here's the second dump file:

THREAD_STUCK_IN_DEVICE_DRIVER_M (100000ea)
The device driver is spinning in an infinite loop, most likely waiting for
hardware to become idle. This usually indicates problem with the hardware
itself or with the device driver programming the hardware incorrectly.
If the kernel debugger is connected and running when watchdog detects a
timeout condition then DbgBreakPoint() will be called instead of KeBugCheckEx()
and detailed message including bugcheck arguments will be printed to the
debugger. This way we can identify an offending thread, set breakpoints in it,
and hit go to return to the spinning code to debug it further. Because
KeBugCheckEx() is not called the .bugcheck directive will not return bugcheck
information in this case. The arguments are already printed out to the kernel
debugger. You can also retrieve them from a global variable via
"dd watchdog!g_WdBugCheckData l5" (use dq on NT64).
On MP machines it is possible to hit a timeout when the spinning thread is
interrupted by hardware interrupt and ISR or DPC routine is running at the time
of the bugcheck (this is because the timeout's work item can be delivered and
handled on the second CPU and the same time). If this is the case you will have
to look deeper at the offending thread's stack (e.g. using dds) to determine
spinning code which caused the timeout to occur.

I tried display drivers, Windows fresh install, Windows Update, and latest from nvidia. All with the same result.

I installed the latest 15.23_nforce_winvista32_international_whql driver.

I see that nforce4 has moved to legacy. Maybe it's time to upgrade my MB?

It's possible that the nForce drivers are causing this - but you really can't tell until there's a Windows 7 driver made for it.

Although lot's of people are having success with the leaked builds, they aren't as thoroughly tested as the 7000 and 7100 builds. So, IMO, you're more likely to have issues with them.

It's happend on 7000, 7100, and 7127. This will most likely be a problem until it goes gold, or I get another MB.

The x64 version requires me to enable 'Memory Remap' in the BIOS before it will install. Vista x64 does not require it enabled.
