BSODs all over the place

newsted said:

Hey SF

Find .zip below.

This whole thing started like 2 weeks ago, the system was running fine until then. Never had a BSOD or anything similar. Then it started, suddenly, with one Bluescreen a day. Yesterday I hit the 5 / day mark - was an accomplishment. There should be an achievement system like in the 360. "Everything is blue!" - Get 10 BSODs at one day

Fine, what was I doing? I can't remember any hardware or software specific task which could trigger such an behavior. First I was like "meh, I'm gonna do a clean install" but that didn't work as expected.

What causes the Bluescreens? I really don't know. Before I did the re-install I triggered a few while developing in Visual Studio 2010, while writing some Word docs or even while browsing the interwebs. Yesterday i tried to run the new COD - I can tell you: baaad idea.

I get the following stop code types (both, before and after re-install):
- ATTEMPTED_WRITE_TO_READONLY_MEMORY
- SYSTEM_SERVICE_EXCEPTION
- SYSTEM_THREAD_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED
- INTERRUPT_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED
- DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL
- NTFS_FILE_SYSTEM
- SYSTEM_SERVICE_EXCEPTION

My system looks like this:
- Motherboard: Asus P5QL PRO
- CPU: Intel Core 2 Quad Q9550 E0, 2.83 GHz, 2x6MB, 4C/4T
- Video card: Gigabyte GTX-460 OC 1GB GDDR5
- RAM: Some cheap Kingston 2G-UDIMM 2 GB DDR2-667 DDR2 SDRAM - twice
- Primary HDD: Corsair P128 SSD MLC, 2.5", 128GB, SATA-II
- Storage HDD1: WDC WD5000AAVS-00ZTB0 (465 GB)
- Storage HDD2: SAMSUNG HD501LJ (465 GB)

Sounds like some broken Memory to me. Any other thoughts?

Thank you so much.

Ok where to start


1-ASACPI.SYS a huge cause of BSOD's Update to 2009 at least.

ASACPI.sys Sun Mar 27 22:30:36 2005

The 2005 version of this driver is a known BSOD cause.
Please visit this link: ASUSTeK Computer Inc.-Support- download_item_mkt
Scroll down to the Utilities category, then scroll down to the "ATK0110 driver for WindowsXP/Vista/Windows 7 32&64-bit " (it's about the 8th item down).
Download and install it.
Go to C:\Windows\System32\drivers to check and make sure that the ASACPI.sys file is date stamped from 2009 or 2010 (NOT 2005).

2-Old Drivers. Update at least these

Code:

How To Find 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

3-Your video driver needs to be re-installed using these instructions.

When upgrading your graphic driver you MUST remove all traces of the current driver. In order to do that we recommend using Guru3D - Driver Sweeper

When it is removed then download and install the fresh copy.

Thank you so far, zigzag

I did all the steps you described above but the BSODs still appear. A few minutes ago I was running memtest and after 0.6% coverage I had around 200 errors.



Looks like I have to order a few new sticks for my Mobo
