I also noticed that my CPU was overheating during processor intensive applications such as video skyping and video games. However, blue screens continued even when I was just browsing the web or doing word processing. It gave me IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL, SYSTEM_SERVICE_EXCEPTION, and PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA codes.
On Saturday I changed the thermal paste on my CPU and the temperatures dropped instantly, however my PC continued to crash when I turned it on again on Sunday. Today I got more BSODs with SYSTEM_SERVICE_EXCEPTION, some without error codes, and one referencing Ntfs.sys.
I have performed video memory stress tests yesterday and a disk check and ram test not too long ago finding no errors.
Basic System Info: Windows 7 Pro x64 installed in October 2009
Student installation of Windows 7. I got it through my university
I'm attaching the most recent mini dump files to this post.
Well you have at least 5 different cuases for these crashes. The most obvious problem you have is memory exceptions caused by either a
driver or your memory.
I would
1-run memtest for 7-8 passes as indicated.
Download a copy of Memtest86 and burn the ISO to a CD using Iso Recorder or another ISO burning program.
Boot from the CD, and leave it running for at least 5 or 6 passes.
Just remember, any time Memtest reports errors, it can be either bad RAM or a bad motherboard slot.
Test the sticks individually, and if you find a good one, test it in all slots.
2-Remove sptd.sys. Used by alcohol120 and daemon tools it is a huge cause of BSOD's.
Please remove any CD virtualization programs such as Daemon Tools and Alcohol 120%.
They use a driver, found in your dmp,sptd.sys, that is notorious for causing BSODs.
Use this SPTD uninstaller
DuplexSecure - Downloads
when you're done you can use this Freeware MagicISO Virtual CD/DVD-ROM(MagicDisc) in its place.
3- Run a system file check to verify and repair your OS files
Run a system file check to verify and repair your system files.
To do this type cmd in search, then right click to run as administrator, then
SFC /SCANNOW

Let us know the results from the report at the end.
