Fresh install of Windows 7 x64 Random BCOD

04streetfire said:

I ran SFC 3 times. Im including the newest dump files. I cant seem to find a newer driver then what is already installed.

Ok so again since it is OK in safe mode but not in normal boot the chances are its a driver.

Lets run driver verifier for a bit to see if we cant identify the true driver. It may take as much as 36 continuous hours (or until it crashes)

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).

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.

Ok I ran driver verifier until it crashed. Have not used the pc for about 20 hours. I woke it it from sleep and i went to www.sevenforums.com then it crashed shortly after. Here is the new Dump File.

How do you update drivers for ntoskrnl.exe and tcpipreg.sys Those are the drivers that keep crashing

Though driver verifier was NOT running at the time of the crash it was blamed on memory management (not tcpipreg.sys nor ntoskrnl.exe) so we are back to where we started.

lets try this again. Please run memtest for 6-7 passes and report the results.

Then re-run driver verifier as indicated (to check if it is running type verifier /query from a cmd prompt).



OR YOU COULD SIMPLY RE-INSTALL CLEAN OS. it would take less time and your machine would thank you for it.



These were caused by a memory exception. Please run these two tests to verify your memory and find which driver is causing the problem.


1-Memtest.

*Download a copy of Memtest86 and burn the ISO to a CD using Iso Recorder or another ISO burning program. Memtest86+ - Advanced Memory Diagnostic Tool

*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).

Here is the results from Memtest.

I did a clean install 2 weeks ago

Memory seems fine. Did you run it one stick at a time as well?

next step is to run driver verifier.
