BSOD happening very sporadically. Possibly the sata card?
Greetings all.
First and foremost I'd like to thank the individuals who take time out to help others analyze problems. I stumbled across this board yesterday and have already learned quite a bit about analyzing BSODs.
Anyways, I've got a fairly new computer, it's about 4 months old with all new hardware:
Windows 7 64bit Embedded installed from scratch.
(I use the application compatibility template when building the image.)
I put it together myself with all unused hardware.
The OS was installed from scratch 4 months ago.
I actually looked over the dumps with winDBG, says the probable cause is dxgmms1.sys
After a quick search it seems like a faulty driver could be the issue. I did find there was a sata card that had been disabled, I re-enabled it and it had a missing driver.
I've installed the correct one now and it hasn't crashed again yet, but only time will tell if it truly fixed it since the machine could work for a week before crashing.
Anyways, any more insight on this would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
