BSODs from 2 to 12 hours in runtime.

Hi all,

Had an issue of BSODs for the last week and a half since getting new hardware.

Basically overhauled the system, everything new down to harddrive, only old component is a year old Gigabyte GTX275 PCIEVideo Card, which is around a year old.

BSODs have been occurring any time from running windows update (after restart, before 7 has booted) to web browsing, playing video files, games or other progs.

I've done a fresh install of 7, ran every memtest and drivetest I can find with no luck, and the BSOD errors being thrown at me all seem to have something different in them, the latest referring to USBPORT.sys and win32k.dll (will attach them to this post).

I've updated every driver I can find to the latest win7 x64 version, to no avail. Fresh (2 days old) win7 install, have ran burn in tests on the old install to try and force the BSOD, no luck, froze 12 hours later while watching a dvd.

I know there are only 2 minidumps with this, and the stuff that was asked for in the BSOD posting guide, but I'll update as further BSODs occur. Hopefully someone can help :)

Hi Remi
Your dumps have error code:

• 0x5 = This generally indicates that the thread was attached to a process in a situation where that is not allowed.
• 0xD1 = This indicates that a kernel-mode driver attempted to access pageable memory at a process IRQL that was too high.

A hardware device, its driver, or related software might have caused that error.
Let's begin with uninstall Kaspersky and replace it with MSE. (because MSE is known running better in windows kernel)

Have you run memtest at least 7 passes? (with different slot). RAM - Test with Memtest86+
Because I see memory access fault in the stack :

Code:

nt!KiPageFault+0x14a:
fffff800`028bb80a 85c0            test    eax,eax
fffff800`028bb80c 0f8d0e010000    jge     nt!KiPageFault+0x260 (fffff800`028bb920)
fffff800`028bb812 4c8d4d80        lea     r9,[rbp-80h]
fffff800`028bb816 448a85f0000000  mov     r8b,byte ptr [rbp+0F0h]
fffff800`028bb81d 4180e001        and     r8b,1
fffff800`028bb821 488b5550        mov     rdx,qword ptr [rbp+50h]
fffff800`028bb825 0fb64daa        movzx   ecx,byte ptr [rbp-56h]
fffff800`028bb829 e8d2bb0100      call    nt!MmAccessFault (fffff800`028d7400)

The possibility =
- You have bad RAM
- Bad slot motherboard
- 3rd driver causing the fault

Enable driver verifier and use the windows as usual.
If there are any driver violation , your windows will crash and attach the new dumps here.

Hi, wish, and thanks for your reply!

Dropping off Kaspersky now, and I've enabled the driver verifier as per your linked guide - I'll run memtest86 overnight again tonight, and see if anything comes up, I believe I ran it for around 5 passes last time, but if it helps troubleshoot, I'll gladly leave it on longer. I'll run it until it crashes again with current config (minus kaspersky) and keep you updated. When it inevitably crashes again, I'll post the minidumps and move on to the memtest for at least 7 passes.

Thankyou again for your troubleshooting this far!

You're welcome and please do so :)

Well, just switched the RAM over to the other slots to see if it's a dead slot. 4 errors over 4 passes on MemTest86+ for running through the afternoon. Kinda strange that MemTest86 didn't pick it up yesterday, but 4 for 4 seems like a RAM or motherboard call to me, just as you called it. Fingers crossed for RAM, because it's a little cheaper to replace.

Thanks again for your help, once I've finished ram/motherboard testing and replaced the faulty part, I'll post up to let you know how it all went. First couple of pieces of hardware to be Dead on Arrival/Faulty for me in about 10 years, scared the heck out of me when it just BSOD'd like that.

Thanks for setting my mind at rest and pointing me on the right path - you're a lifesaver :)

Ok - 2 new (generic) sticks of RAM while the others are away on warranty, 0 errors on a memtest pass, and the system's been up 48 hours straight running a few intensive memory programs, and no problems whatsoever.

Thanks again for your help, this one's well and truly solved!

Thanks for the good news.
I am glad to hear that
