W7: Computer rebooting with and w/o BSOD

This is not meant as a replacement for Reventon's good advice, only something to add on.

I see you are having a lot of network errors. Try changing your DNS servers to 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4. That is Google DNS, just a change from your current DNS server in case that is causing problems.

and many many more.

One BSOD blames ndis.sys, adding to my suspicion.

Remove AVG with this tool: http://download.avg.com/filedir/util...removerx64.exe

Replace it with MSE: http://www.microsoft.com/security_essentials

Thank you for taking your time evaluating my system!

I'll start off with the lighter parts (replacing AVG with MSE) of the advices and then continue deeper and deeper.
This due to lack of time (gotta work, pfft).

Also, my PSU is made by Ace and the model name is AC-520 RD+.


Once again, thanks alot for helping me out!


Edit below:
Removed AVG for MSE.

Prime95 test: 16:08 - 01:35~

Seems completely normal and no errors were found.

I also tried FurMark and I reached 78°C (very slow temperature increase at the end, obviously) within 5 minutes.

I also tried getting some physical info on my memory sticks by touching them and they were scalding hot - however this does not seem to be the core issue since the system has rebooted within minutes of a boot. Nevertheless I should probably get some cooling going on there.

Boom, crash ~

I will run the other tests you suggested later.


Also, this is slightly disturbing:

What could explain the Temp3 one and most particularly - which module is it?


Another thing I just noticed is that dxdiag freezes when it's testing DirectShow and that's never happened before the computer started crashing.

Updated the driver allthough I know for a fact that it wasn't the main source to the problems as I tried to use an older driver instead of the newest one to see if it was faulty.
Nevertheless it's always good to be up to date.

As for the STPD.sys error I would like to point out that I never used Daemon Tools on this computer, but PowerISO. I guess they are related in terms of virtual disks, but I wasn't able to uninstall STPD by using the installer. However I installed it, rebooted, uninstalled it and rebooted again - to see if it made any fuzz.

So far the computer hasn't gone wacky again, but I'll get to the other hardware tests before I claim a victory.
