Random BSODs During Low Intensity Tasks
Hi,
I recently installed Windows 7 Professional Edition x64 Student Edition (bought it online) on my notebook, a Sager NP 8662 (system specs are on my profile). I've been using it for about a month now, and since then I've been getting BSODs. They do not occur very often, about twice a week, and only during mundane tasks like web browsing while listening to music.
The notebook itself is about one year old. I previously had Windows Vista x64 which I installed myself, as the notebook didn't come with an operating system. Vista had no problems on my notebook.
After googling up the error codes from dumps, I ran hardware diagnostic/stress tests on my:
RAM (memtest86)
Harddrive (mhdd, chkdsk)
CPU (orthos)
and came up with no problems at all. So I do not suspect its a hardware issue. I'm also quite sure I've updated all my drivers to the latest.
I do undervolt my CPU using Rightmark, however, I made sure to test my system for stability using Orthos mentioned above. Though it could be a problem with the Rightmark driver, as I downloaded some sort of workaround driver to work with Win 7 x64. Its been going good for a few days, but I want confirmation as to whether RM is causing the problem and why, as it seems others do not have problems with it.
Can someone please take a look at the dumps and see whether Rightmark is causing the problem and if not, point me in the right direction?
Thanks
PS. Perfmon stated I'm not using an antivirus. But I actually am using avast!
