Random BSODs while playing, watching movies, doing nothing...

JayEm187 said:

I'm getting BSODs for months-years already. I reinstalled my OS, but didn't help. Sometimes they occure while playing and sometimes while watching a movie... They're just random.
The game Dawn of War II (and some other games on Steam, retail games without Steam crashed too though) on the other hand crash every time after 10-30minutes of gameplay, resulting to a BSOD or crash to desktop.

System Specs:
- Microsoft Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit 7601 Multiprocessor Free Service Pack 1
- I reinstalled it a year or two ago and never after since, because the BSODs kept coming up after reinstalling it the first time.
- I don't know how old my system hardware is exactly, because I updated it over months and years I guess. Anyway, it shouldn't be older than 3years... I had the BSOD problem right at the beginning anyway.

PS: My attachment doesn't include the HTML-file, becaus the "R&P Monitor" keeps showing up the "The wait for the report generation tool to finish has timed out." error... I tried the workaround in the Services tab, but it didn't help. I hope it's still enough provided data to find a solution.

Hello and Welcome!

Seems like the dump file is pointing to AVGIDSFilter.Sys i.e. your AVG please remove it and replace it with Microsoft Security Essentials. Make sure you use the Cleanup tool and remove the left over files of AVG. If your Overclock please revert it back check the Motherboard manual and revert the BIOS to stock settings.

If that didn't resolve the problem then run Hardware Diagnostic to make sure all the Hardware components are intact.

Update the following Driver:

Code:

Alpham164.sys - Ideazon ZBoard downloads - SteelSeries.

Bugcheck:

Code:

NTFS_FILE_SYSTEM (24)
    If you see NtfsExceptionFilter on the stack then the 2nd and 3rd
    parameters are the exception record and context record. Do a .cxr
    on the 3rd parameter and then kb to obtain a more informative stack
    trace.

First of all, thanks for the quick answer!

I deinstalled AVG months ago already (replaced it with Avira) and just used a registry cleaner to remove old entries of AVG. I could not find the mentioned file (AVGIDSFilter.Sys) though. The search engine of Windows 7 could not find it either. Do you know the direct path or another way to find it, or do you think the registry cleaner (I used Free Windows Cleanup Tool) did the job already. It showed up some AVG entries and removed them.

I updated my Zboard drivers too. Thanks for the tip!

I am going to reinstall Dawn of War II now, to test if it is still crashing...

EDIT:
- Looks like it worked. I did play some missions and ran the in-game Performance Test a few times on the highest settings. No crashes so far. I'll mark the thread as solved when my system runs smoothly for a week. Thank you so much...so far!
- I attached the recent dumpfiles just in case.
