Windows 7 Blue Screen of Death

cpeterson · 12 Jul 2011

For the past few months been putting up with alot of system crashing. No matter what I'm doing surfing the internet, watching videos, letting the system idel, install new program. The system comes up with blue screen of death.

Some are IRQ lesser or greater, some don't give reason, I have gone through some and found that cdd.dll has been an issue when running debugger, but really not sure if that is the issue.

I'm running
ASUS
AMD Athlon 64 XD Dual Code Process 6400+ 3.21 GHz
2gb mem
32 bit operatoring system

I'm really not sure if to narrow it down to the memory or the video card.
I'm not really 100% sure how to read the debugging. Need some help, at witts end, have lost alot of documents due to crashes and corrupt files.

I'm sending ones that I have recently have found, please shine some light on my issue. Thanks.

You may want to remove norton for the moment. The crashes are all over the place but the norton system driver is definitely hanging when you crash.

Can you tell me exactly which asus motherboard you have?
Or give the system model?

M2N-SLI DELUXE

Assuming Norton is being the pain, need to find a new antivirus software.

Sounds like the new kapersky may be worth looking at.
There is always MSE as well free for anyone with windows
Anti-Malware, Virus, Spyware Protection | Microsoft Security Essentials

It's not really the best protection wise but it does have the fewest issues.
If you take the free route I suggest getting MBAM to manual scan once a week or so manually (it has better detection)
Malwarebytes : Malwarebytes Anti-Malware is a free download that removes viruses and malware from your computer

On another note install this, I think you'll find your computer acting a little more sane almost immediately.
NVIDIA DRIVERS 15.58 WHQL

The version you are using (must be off asus's site) is vista old.
Fortunately it's an nvidia made chipset though.

Thank you very much...

One of the things I have never have learned is now to read debugging. I work on computers and trouble shoot them for a living, but when it comes to mine, I'm completely lost. I just never got the programming down nor have time to.

I had tried to figure it out by teaching myself on how to read it, but wasn't exeactly sure if I was going down the right path all the time.

I have always used Norton cause it did a good job a catching viruses and intrusions, it has been a trusted software. But, I hated it when it used so much system memory all the time. Nothing but a memory hog, thought Vista was bad.

Again thank you very much.
