    Frequent BSOD's.. at wits end :(


    Ladies and Gents,

    Thank you for taking the time to read this post/tale of woe. I recently built and assembled a brand new PC, everything brand new. Since day one have had sporadic BSOD's and it's driving me round the bend. I convinced myself it was the GFX card so purchased a new one to test... BSOD's continued. I RMA'd the motherboard/ram/cpu - all passed tests and were returned.

    So I formatted for the thrid time and reinstalled Windows 7, immediately getting 2 BSOD's while trying to install and one on first boot (after 15 seconds of being in Windows).

    I use a SSD from OCZ (Vertex 2E) and have run Chkdsk numerous times and found no errors. So I attach the required information for just the latest errors since reinstall.

    Is Windows 7 . . .
    - x64 Home Premium
    - the original installed OS on the system? - YES
    - an OEM or full retail version? - RETAIL

    - What is the age of system (hardware)? - BRAND NEW
    - What is the age of OS installation (have you re-installed the OS?) - YES

    Any help you can give me would be appreciated. I paid a professional to look at it, and he's stumped.

    All the best, and thank you.

    Hi,

    Code:
    STACK_TEXT:  
    Ntfs!NtfsLookupAllocation+0x295
    Ntfs!NtfsPrepareSimpleBuffers+0x146
    Ntfs!NtfsPrepareBuffers+0xcb
    Ntfs!NtfsNonCachedIo+0x1bc
    Ntfs!NtfsCommonRead+0x7a6
    Ntfs!NtfsFsdRead+0x1b8
    fltmgr!FltpLegacyProcessingAfterPreCallbacksCompleted+0x24f
    fltmgr!FltpDispatch+0xcf
    nt!IoPageRead+0x252
    nt!MiIssueHardFault+0x255
    nt!MmAccessFault+0x14bb
    nt!KiPageFault+0x16e
    0x7fe`fea3117a
    
    BSODs mention HDD drivers (Ntfs as seen in the stack above) - and one of the few remaining pieces of original hardware is that SSD.

    I would get it RMAd. The other possibility could be that your motherboard storage controller is faulty, but given you have already replaced it I do not think it is likely.

    Regards,
    Reventon

    Thank you for your reponse, Reventon.

    I have a spare HDD here - I will install Windows on to that and see if the issues go away. If so, I will be dead chuffed.

    If there's anything else I can do, please let me know.

    All the best

    Alas, failure.

    I have disconnected the SSD and installed on a new HDD. Random crashes continue. New BSOD.text attached.

    Any help sincerely appreciated

    Pete

    Edit: also added dumps.

    I remember in a conversation long ago with a tech support guy something about my RAM voltages not being high enough. I upped the voltage to 1.65v, but still had another BSOD.

    RAM: Corsair XMS3 6GB (3x2GB) DDR3 PC3-12800C9 1600MHz Triple Channel Kit

    Apologies for double post, couldn't attach dumps in edit. I thought it would also be prudent to post updated reports for you, as I'm now effectively on a fresh install and a new HDD.

    Ok.

    This time around - both Memory errors.

    Only possible software cause I can see is the following
    Code:
    ASACPI.sys   Mon Mar 28 15:30:36 2005 (42476C4C)
    ASACPI.sys - ASUS ACPI Driver; near guaranteed to cause BSODs on Windows 7 systems. Update link here, update instructions (slideshow) here (note that in the last step you select the ATK0110 driver in the list instead of the one mentioned)

    There however remains the possibility that despite the RMAs one of your components is faulty.

    Run these tests:

    https://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials...t-prime95.html (run the Blend test as well as the Small FFT test)

    RAM - Test with Memtest86+

    Thank you, Reventon.

    I have downloaded the driver, but when I click the install .exe, a command prompt flashes up for a split second and then disappears. Is this normal?

    I have also been getting a lot more BSOD's since a Windows Update.

    I will try prime and memtest, although I did memtest previously for a day with no errors and the RMA said they ran prime on my cpu/ram/motherboard for 48 hours with no errors.

    Yes. It is normal.

    Can you please upload the latest Minidumps from C:\Windows\Minidump (you will have to copy them to the desktop before zipping them up).

    Here you go. Driver now updated (I did it through the device manager > system) and have run a full chkdsk with no errors. Will now do Prime and Memtest.

    Many thanks.
