random BSOD brand new g73jw win 7 ultimate 64bit fresh install

Your latest dump blames memory corruption and does not give us anything specific. Keep in mind that outdated drivers can cause memory corruption. Right now you need to eliminate those drivers so we can see what your system does without them. If you get another BSOD with those drivers removed, we will look at the dump and move on to testing hardware. Troubleshooting is a process of elimination. The first hardware testing will be to test your RAM using Memtest and following the instructions in this tutorial: RAM - Test with Memtest86+. Run Memtest for at least 7 passes. Errors, if any, will show on your screen in red. Post your results.


Did you do an upgrade install or a clean install? Upgrade installs create problems more often than not. Always do a clean install with a new OS. Add your programs back one at a time unless you know the program is compatible with the new OS; and run your computer for a day or two between each program install.

You can certainly reinstall Eset and try it again after you know your system is running smoothly. Removing it is just part of the troubleshooting process. Regarding Memtest, it needs to run for at least 7 passes which will take 6 or more hours. If you get no errors, run it from a cold boot after your computer has been off for a while. We will run through the hardware tests after you take care of those drivers. Incompatible drivers are considered a hardware issue and are shown as such in the dump files. This is because they can cause memory corruption.

Very good and you are welcome. Let us know how your system is running as well as the results of Memtest. I'm hoping the BSOD's are gone.

Yes, you can stop Memtest. All you can do is make notes of the results. This means you have a RAM problem. This can be bad RAM, incompatible RAM, a bad RAM slot or a bad memory controller. Your next step is to remove all of your RAM except the stick in the first slot. Run Memtest on that stick for at least seven passes. If no errors show, remove that stick and mark it as good. Test each remaining stick in the same way in the first slot. You can also try running your computer on just one stick and see if you get a BSOD.

If all of the sticks pass, take good stick and and test each RAM slot for at least seven passes. Post back with the results of your testing. I know this process is time consuming and aggravating; but there is no other way to do it.

I will also add that if your computer is under warranty, you should consider taking/sending it to the shop. Tell the techs what memtest found and let them sort it out.

You most definitely have a RAM problem. It may be that you can run fairly well with it. Uninstalling Eset and eliminating those two old drivers may take enough stress and conflict from your system that you can run with the RAM. Under heavy usage, it may bite you. I am not a hardware expert; so it is difficult for me to really say. Sometimes brand new RAM is defective. Asus does not make the RAM; it comes from another manufacturer. Asus is responsible since they built the computer; but the faulty RAM is not their fault.

Good job of following suggestions. I am delighted that you have not had another BSOD. I am glad we were able to solve at least part of your problem. Please keep us updated.
