    Random BSODs-Out of the Blue


    Hi all,
    I started having these BSODs ever since I got this computer a couple of months ago. All components are new and I had the OS reinstalled about a week ago or so, after one of the BSODs occurred again. According to the error description (3b) I updated the video driver but to no avail. Why out of the blue-simply because it happens for no apparent reason. I am not a gamer and do not use any other graphics card but the one integrated. I also run 2 passes of Memtest (before I read here that at least 7-8 are required) which showed 0 errors. About a month ago 2 hours of Prime also showed no errors. Last night I had this BSOD, but with a new error-1e. I would take the computer to the shop and have them service it but I am working on something important and have no time to wait for them for days. I hope you will be able to help me. Thanks!

    Hi caerroil; welcome to the forum. I will take a look and see what I can find.
    Error code 1E (2X), KMODE_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED. Usual causes: Device driver, hardware, System service, compatibility, Remote control programs, memory, BIOS.

    Error code 3B, SYSTEM_SERVICE_EXCEPTION. Usual causes: System service, Device driver, graphics driver, ?memory.
    Two of the three dumps indicate memory corruption.
    Code:
    Kernel base = 0xfffff800`02e4a000 PsLoadedModuleList = 0xfffff800`03087e50

    KMODE_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED (1e)
    This is a very common bugcheck.  Usually the exception address pinpoints
    the driver/function that caused the problem.  Always note this address
    as well as the link date of the driver/image that contains this address.
    Arguments:
    Arg1: 0000000000000000, The exception code that was not handled
    Arg2: 0000000000000000, The address that the exception occurred at
    Arg3: 0000000000000000, Parameter 0 of the exception
    Arg4: 0000000000000000, Parameter 1 of the exception

    To begin your troubleshooting, I suggest you uninstall Eset NOD32 using this uninstall tool: Tool. Eset has been known to cause BSOD's on some Win 7 systems. Plus your version of Eset is old and the drivers are not up to date for Win 7. After you get your system stable you can try an updated version; but I do not recommend doing so. Download and install Microsoft Security Essentials in its place. Make sure Windows firewall is turned on.

    I find some obsolete drivers on your system. Older drivers can and do cause memory corruption and crashes. Update these drivers, especailly those in red font.

    How to update drivers:
    - I have listed links to most of the drivers in the code box below. Please use the links there to see what info I've found about those drivers.
    - search Google for the name of the driver
    - compare the Google results with what's installed on your system to figure out which device/program it belongs to
    - visit the web site of the manufacturer of the hardware/program to get the latest drivers (DON'T use Windows Update or the Update driver function of Device Manager).
    - if there are difficulties in locating them, post back with questions and someone will try and help you locate the appropriate program.


    - - The most common drivers are listed on this page: Driver Reference
    - - Driver manufacturer links are on this page: Drivers and Downloads
    - - To remove any left over driver remnants, especially from graphics cards, use driver sweeper Guru3D - Driver Sweeper
    Uninstall Eset, update the drivers above or uninstall the software, reboot and let's see how your system does. If you get another BSOD, please upload it and we will go from there. If you do not get another crash, post back in two or three days and let us know.

    Thanks a lot for the quick answer. Will sure do what you told me, although I`ve got a lot of homework to do with those drivers. :)

    I have had no BSODs since I followed your advice. I removed the Vimicro drivers, updated all Realtek ones and also uninstalled the pcouffin driver. According to the VSO forum, it is known to crash Windows 7 x64. Their solution is to use VSO Clean to remove it because it is not that necessary with the latest versions of their software. Again, I had no success in finding new drivers for the webcam which is, BTW, some pretty old Canyon one (don`t know the model) that worked with Vimicro drivers. It is the same thing with a modem driver, which I cannot find any more recent than the one I already have. I need to ask for your help again cause I am not that experienced in the field of old hardware. It is pretty easy to work with the new one

    That is great news and thank your for reporting back. I appreciate the tip about VSO clean. I was not aware of that. As far as the hardware is concerned, you need to uninstall the webcam; it is obsolete. Purchase a new webcam that is certified compatible with Win 7. The same goes for the modem. Do you use a dialup connection? If not, you do not need the modem. You can disable it in Device manager and navigate to C:\Windows\System32\Drivers and rename the four drivers from.sys to .bak, reboot and they will not load. If you are using a dialup connection you will have to upgrade to a modem compatible with Win 7.

    If I understand correctly-there is no driver solution to this? I do not actually use the modem, but kind of would like to keep it for backup. But, if that is not possible... The same goes for the webcam? Can I simply delete the drivers from C:\Windows\System32\Drivers, reboot and then use some registry cleaner afterwards? Thanks

    If the manufacturer does not offer an updated driver for Win 7, there is no solution; the hardware is obsolete - planned obsolescence. It is a choice by the software and hardware manufacturers as to whether they make their products compatible with Win 7. Sometime they opt to sell new software or hardware versions rather than spend the money to upgrade existing versions for which they get no monetary return.

    The best way - just in case - is to rename the drivers from .sys to .bak or to .old, whichever you prefer. That way, they won't load and you can rename back should the need arise. If you ever need a modem, I suggest you buy a new one. Outdated modem and webcam drivers can bite you - and often do.
