    Frequent BSOD's under idle loads, with no obvious trigger


    Recently I've been experiencing BSOD crashes on my machine - up to twice a day at worst - and I can't seem to trace down the cause, so any help would be greatly appreciated!

    OS Specs/Computer history (Hardware under System Specs in sidebar):

    Home-built desktop (Built Jan. 2011)
    Windows 7 Professional 64 bit - still running original install since build, which used "Upgrade" disk image purchased online from Microsoft.

    My only major hardware change since the original build was replacing my Radeon HD 5750 with a Radeon HD 5870 on Jan. 14th of this year.

    Within the last few weeks, I have run Memtest86+ for 7 passes, all of which came back clean, and I have also run Seatools diagnostic software for my HDD, which also came back clean.

    Attached is the requested .zip file as per the instructions thread.

    Thanks in advance for any help!

    Only running the 15 memory dumps from 2012

    perfmon reports that your Atheros AR922X Wireless Network Adapter is disabled.
    Is this deliberate? If so, why?
    Please do the following:
    - enable the device
    - update the drivers
    - disable the device again if that's what you want. It's preferable to either remove the device from the system, or to disable it in the BIOS. That way Windows doesn't have to first recognize it, and then disable it.

    Have you run FurMark on your video card? If so, did it have any problems? A lot of the BSOD's in the WER section of MSINFO32 refer to video issues. Please also try the video memory test from here: Hardware Diags

    You may also want to run Prime95: Hardware Diags

    Please do the following with your video drivers:
    - uninstall all the ATI stuff from Control Panel...Programs...Uninstall a program
    - download the latest video drivers for your system from ATI Radeon
    - install these drivers and use the ATI uninstaller to remove the Catalyst Control Center (CCC).
    - monitor for further BSOD's

    Daemon Tools (and Alcohol % software) are known to cause BSOD's on Win7 systems due to the sptd.sys driver.
    Please uninstall the program, then use the following free tool to ensure that the troublesome sptd.sys driver is removed from your system (pick the 32 or 64 bit system depending on your system's configuration): DuplexSecure - FAQ

    Further info on BSOD error messages available at: http://www.carrona.org/bsodindx.html

    The following info is just FYI, I've already addressed the issues that I saw in the above paragraphs:
    3RD PARTY DRIVERS PRESENT IN THE DUMP FILES
    - Create a System Restore Point prior to doing any of this. DO NOT mess with the drivers themselves - leave the Windows\System32\drivers directory alone unless we specifically direct you to it!
    - Please either update the older drivers from the device manufacturer's website - or uninstall them from your system. Reference links are included below.
    - DO NOT use Windows Update or the Update Drivers function of Device Manager.
    - Please feel free to post back about any drivers that you are having difficulty locating.
    - Windows Update exceptions may be noted below for Windows drivers.

    perfmon reports that your Atheros AR922X Wireless Network Adapter is disabled.
    Is this deliberate? If so, why?
    I installed a wireless card in this desktop build, as I do not have access to an ethernet connection at my parent's house while home on break (college student). However, while at school, I do have access to an ethernet connection, and so I disable the wireless card to ensure I get the better connection of the ethernet cord - however, I'm sure there is a better way to do this. If you have any suggestions, please let me know!

    I've enabled and updated drivers - is there a way to ensure a hard-line connection is prioritized over WiFi, or should I disable and/or remove the card when I want to use the wired connection. I've had issues with the wireless connection being prioritized, and it gives me a poor internet connection here in my apartment.

    Have you run FurMark on your video card? If so, did it have any problems?
    Just ran FurMark and I don't see any obvious issues - temperatures stabilized at 77C and I had no visible artifacts or instabilities.

    You may also want to run Prime95
    I've run Prime95 previously for a few hours and ran into no obvious issues - however, I wasn't necessarily testing for hardware flaws, but rather making sure my case cooling was sufficient for my hardware.

    Please do the following with your video drivers... remove the Catalyst Control Center
    I've heard of issues with CCC and other ATI software, so getting rid of CCC should hopefully resolve this - I'll give it a shot and see what happens.

    Daemon Tools (and Alcohol % software) are known to cause BSOD's on Windows 7 systems due to the sptd.sys driver.
    Please uninstall the program
    Done!

    Thank you so much for the quick response!

    I don't like disabling devices in Windows. Windows first has to recognize the device (and maybe startup the drivers), then it has to change it's mind and disable it.

    I much prefer uninstalling the software and removing the device from the system.
    For those devices that you can't remove (are built into the mobo), I suggest disabling them in the BIOS.
