Please help a Newb with Rainbow Screen BSOD Problem

Tews,

I've since found that the webcam is Microsoft Own Brand, and appears to have Microsoft Driver... I've left it on at present.
Have updated DirectX, as you advised. DL'd the End-User option, hope that was the right one.

Strangely enough, I had read (from one of the other posts on the forum - before I started my own thread) about the ATI problem and installed the Catalyst about a week ago. Hasn't stopped the crashes, but cheers for the pointer.

After a week with no issues, a further crash today.

BSOD seemed to be pointing towards Intelppm.sys as the cause.

It only got to 93% of the Memory Dump, so doesn't appear to have created a .dmp file.

Help... again!

Let's try some basics.

Test your temperatures, after you have been using it for a while. I recommend Speedfan: SpeedFan - Access temperature sensor in your computer

Test CPU. Here's a tutorial: https://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials...t-prime95.html

If it happens again, run the BSOD app again, and upload the new report.

Lancaster, thanks or the hints.

Ran the tests, as you suggested, and all seemed well.

Only one other Crash since my last post and, again, dump only got to 93%.

If problems persist, and I get a full dump (hmmm... dunno if that's the right phrase to use ) then I'll run the BSOD app.

I'm obliged

Okay, still getting the BSOD at least once per day.

Have run the new scans etc, and attached.

Hope someone can kill this, once and for all.....

There is one very old driver:

Code:

aspi32.sys   Wed Jul 17 12:05:08 2002 (3D3595B4)

A Google search makes me suspect you have an Adaptec device installed -- is this the case?

If so, update the drivers, or replace it, if you can't find any. If you need help locating drivers, post the model of the device.

Also, could you enable driver verifier again?

Lancaster,

I ran Verifier through, selecting all of the non-Microsoft Drivers on an INDIVIDUAL basis, to see if I could narrow down the problem (ncluding the aspi32.sys which you had highlighted).
All seemed to pass the test, with the exception of the following:-

hcw88aud.sys
hcw88bar.sys
hcw88tun.sys
hcw88vid.sys

All of these gave 'The IO Manager has detected a violation by a Driver that is being verified' Blue Screen immediately upon Boot.

Hi,
Since your Hauppauge WinTV is not pass the test , better to uninstall it until your windows stable.

Rename these drivers into .bak extension (you need to take ownership each drivers)
Location : C:\windows\system32\drivers\

Code:

pcouffin.sys --> pcouffin.bak 
cdrbsdrv.SYS --> cdrbsdrv.bak

Then update these drivers :
GEARAspiWDM.sys --> CD-ROM Class Filter Driver by Gear Software
Rtnicxp.sys --> Realtek NIC driver
