    A lot of Bluescreens


    Hello everyone here at SevenForums!

    I've as of lately have had alot of problems with my computer.(I built it myself this February)
    My computer crashes(Bluescreen) when I play games such as Battlefield: Bad Company 2 and World in Conflict and I'm getting error messages when I try to update Starcraft 2.
    The computer acts fine when I'm watching a movie or just browsing on the Internet.

    All my problems started with bluescreens witch I believed was beacuse of my memory cards so I started to run a coupe of memtests but no problem was reported, so I tried with another memory stick witch still didn't solve my problem.

    At this point I had no clue of what this problem was caused by so I went to my retailer and asked them to run their tests on my motherboard, CPU and graphics card. My components was returned to me without any problems. Now I started my computer and played BC2 for a couple of minutes and then another bluescreen showed up.
    So then I thought since it was during a time when my GPU had alot of work that it was the problem. I returned to my retailer with my graphic card and asked them to try it out with BC2. Now my retailer replaced my graphics card since they did find the same problem.
    With my new graphics card my computer worked fine for about 2h then a new bluescreen appeared.
    Since this happen have I updated drivers and bios, I've tried a fresh windows 7 installation(with and without a new HDD) but the problem didn't go away.

    This is my Hardware spec: Sandy Bridge i7 2600K | Asus P8P67 PRO | Corsair Vengance 8Gb @ 1600 Mhz CL8 | ASUS ROG GeForce Matrix GTX Platinum 580 | Intel 510 120GB | Corsair AX850 | Corsair H7.
    My memory cards are accepted in my motherboards QVL.

    This is the error message I receive when i try to update SC2:
    "The patch "base\Campaigns\Liberty.SC2Campaign\Base.SC2Maps\Maps\Campai*gn\TStory01.SC2Map\Triggers" could not be applied. (MD5 mismatch: expected 0x9DC040473577ECEC5B19378F7C73FCF2, actual 0x0D974E54D23AAAA6122D6A593A786672.)(PTCApply_BSDiff failed.)"

    I now turn to you when I have no more ideas in hope for an solution.
    Thank you in advance for your time.

    Regards,

    Nabel

    To enable us to assist you with your computer's BSOD symptoms, upload the contents of your "\Windows\Minidump" folder.

    The procedure:

    * Copy the contents of \Windows\Minidump to another (temporary) location somewhere on your machine.
    * Zip up the copy.
    * Attach the ZIP archive to your post using the "paperclip" (file attachments) button.
    *If the files are too large please upload them to a file sharing service like "Rapidshare" and put a link to them in your reply.


    To ensure minidumps are enabled:

    Go to Start, in the Search Box type: sysdm.cpl, press Enter.
    Under the Advanced tab, click on the Startup and Recovery Settings... button.
    Ensure that Automatically restart is unchecked.
    Under the Write Debugging Information header select Small memory dump (256 kB) in the dropdown box (the 256kb varies).
    Ensure that the Small Dump Directory is listed as %systemroot%\Minidump.
    OK your way out.
    Reboot if changes have been made.

    I just had a bluescreen during just after an reboot when I opend Firefox.
    "*** STOP: 0x0000001A (0x0000000000041790, 0xFFFFFAB0031AD30, 0x000000000000FFFF, 0x000000000000000)

    And I've attached a new version of the minidump folder here.

    The two most recent read memory corruption probably caused by a driver. please run these two tests




    1-Memtest.


    *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.

    RAM - Test with Memtest86+

    2-Driver verifier

    I'd suggest that you first backup your data 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).

    In Windows 7 you can make a Startup Repair disk by going to Start....All Programs...Maintenance...Create a System Repair Disc - with Windows Vista you'll have to use your installation disk or the "Repair your computer" option at the top of the Safe Mode menu .

    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"
    - 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).

    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.
