    BSOD issues


    I run Windows 7 64bit Home edition and haven't had any issues what so ever until last month. I was using Avast! as my anti-virus protection when it let me know that an upgrade to the program was ready to install. I installed the new Avast! program and that's when my problems started. I checked Event Viewer and noticed that my first blue screens had to deal with a software issue with Avast. I uninstalled Avast and installed AVG instead and had no problems for a month. I was having issues with AVG causing my games to stop working mid game so I decided to uninstall it and go with Microsoft Security Essentials. My BSOD woes came back shortly after. Problem is I uninstalled it and it persisted. I did a System Restore back to when I uninstalled AVG and before I installed MSE and still no luck. I've gotten IRQL BSODs and a MEMORY_MANAGEMENT BSOD. I've got two dump files that I'm attaching for anyone who can debug it.

    Hi,
    Your 2 dumps have 0xA bugcheck code (MEMORY_MANAGEMENT), usual caused by drivers or RAM.
    So I would recommend you to perform memory test for at least 7 passes. (better run it overnight)
    RAM - Test with Memtest86+

    Then you have a lot of drivers that need to be update (especially for Creative device)
    Code:

    Just a bit from the Stack Text...

    This line:
    Code:
    fffff880`06762920 fffff800`02d6bdcf : fffff8a0`0a9019a0 fffff880`06762c20 00000000`00000000 fffffa80`06ea16a0 : nt!MmCleanProcessAddressSpace+0x96
    Mm = Windows Memory Manager - and it's attempting to clean up the address space for the Process

    And this line:
    Code:
    00000000`01eafe08 00000000`00000000 : 00000000`00000000 00000000`00000000 00000000`00000000 00000000`00000000 : 0x76ebfd9a
    It's from an address that's probably not in the kernel address space. In most cases this is from the user address space and is caused by a program improperly trying to access the kernel space.

    After you've finished wish's directions, if you're still having BSOD's, then please run Driver Verifier according to these instructions:
    Using Driver Verifier is an iffy proposition. Most times it'll crash and it'll tell you what the driver is. But sometimes it'll crash and won't tell you the driver. Other times it'll crash before you can log in to Windows. If you can't get to Safe Mode, then you'll have to resort to offline editing of the registry to disable Driver Verifier.

    So, I'd suggest that you first backup your stuff and then make sure you've got access to another computer so you can contact us if problems arise. Then make a System Restore point (so you can restore the system using the Vista/Win7 Startup Repair feature).

    Then, here's the procedure:
    - Go to Start and type in "verifier" (without the quotes) and press Enter
    - Select "Create custom settings (for code developers)" and click "Next"
    - Select "Select individual settings from a full list" and click "Next"
    - Select everything EXCEPT FOR "Low Resource Simulation" and click "Next"
    NOTE: You can use Low Resource Simulation if you'd like. From my limited experimentation it makes the BSOD's come faster.
    - Select "Select driver names from a list" and click "Next"
    Then select all drivers NOT provided by Microsoft and click "Next"
    - Select "Finish" on the next page.

    Reboot the system and wait for it to crash to the Blue Screen. Continue to use your system normally, and if you know what causes the crash, do that repeatedly. The objective here is to get the system to crash because Driver Verifier is stressing the drivers out. If it doesn't crash for you, then let it run for at least 36 hours of continuous operation (an estimate on my part).

    Reboot into Windows (after the crash) and turn off Driver Verifier by going back in and selecting "Delete existing settings" on the first page, then locate and zip up the memory dump file and upload it with your next post.

    If you can't get into Windows because it crashes too soon, try it in Safe Mode.
    If you can't get into Safe Mode, try using System Restore from your installation DVD to set the system back to the previous restore point that you created.

    If that doesn't work, post back and we'll have to see about fixing the registry entry off-line:
    Code:
    Delete these registry keys (works in XP, Vista, Win7):
            HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Memory Management\VerifyDrivers
            HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Memory Management\VerifyDriverLevel
