Windows 7: A number of event log errors + BSOD's

seth500 · 02 Aug 2011

In my administrative events log I have a number of errors all of which point to the service control manager. This is a new install and I have had the same system running once before with no problems. Memory is good, no overclocking, nothing overheating the power supply is good and it's also happening on my wife's computer as well which is a totally different setup all together. It can't just be coincidence, also on both computers error 41 keeps showing up which locks up her computer without writing a dump file and blue screens mine. This computer is not my main listed below in my specs it's an older Asus A8N-SLI board and all drivers are current, below I attached the dump files the first of which was already related to Asacpi.sys which has since been fixed. The latest dump of 8-2-2011 is which I am most concerned with. I have looked at it and it deals with win32k.sys which could be anything. Any help will be highly appreciated TIA Seth.

Edit: I just attached the last entries of the cbs log that sfc /scannow reparired..

Seems that there is a problem with the CPU itself

Run Prime 95 to test your CPU. Carefully the instructions in this tutorial: CPU - Stress Test with Prime95. Run 3 separate tests, one on each of the settings (Blend, Small FFTs, Large FFTs). Post back with your results

According to your dump file the issue is with your Processor. This occurs when the processor is non-responsive or is deadlocked.

Possible Solutions :

a) BIOS bug
b) a driver whose activity is causing the target processor to lock up
c) a hardware defect (temperature, voltage, dust

But its mainly caused by a defective CPU or outdated BIOS

Hi yowanvista appreciate the quick reply, I wish I could give the results of a stress test but it blue screens before the test is completed so there's that. I do have another cpu for this motherboard but before I do that I would like to check for a bios bug and other solutions if I may before I change out processors. Would flashing the bios get rid of a bug? Or is the procedure a bit more involved?

If the issue lies in the BIOS then if might fix it or else you should get another CPU

Ok I try the flash first with the latest bios and then if that doesn't work then I have another cpu right here that I know works perfectly it just a tab bit slower..

seth500 · 02 Aug 2011

well I changed out the processors and watching the temperatures between the two processors there was quite a big difference. The amd 5000 dual core was running pretty darn hot 195 degrees F. Where as the one I'm stress testing now is at 145 degrees F. Which is a 4400 dual core amd..seems to be working fine for now well see as the testing goes forward..

Hi yowanvista,

The other processor did the same thing it blue screened during the first test which was the short test and I do know the processor was good, also it gave the same BSOD error that you had originally. So what I did is I changed back to the other processor (5000) and made some changes in the power management section of bios it turns out that the ACPI Suspend Type was set to S3 (STR) when I set it to both S1 (POS) and S3 suspend type the whole system has stabilized and haven't had any blue screens (keeping fingers crossed)...
