Not driver verifier but Related to mcdbus.sys MagicISO SCSI Host Controller from MagicISO, Inc. I would update to the latest driver (or remove to test)

Hello,

Thank you for the response.

What have I done :

Uninstalled AVG and switched to MSE.
Uninstalled MagicIso.

Updated Windows.

This morning ran a clean and cold boot and got a Bsod, I have attached the minidump.

Thank you for your patience,
Alex

THis one was corrupt but I was able to tell it is still the 124 BCC. Still indicating a hardware issue. I was hoping to be able to tell more about which piece of hardware but its corrupt.

Have to wait for the next one.

Hello,

I think I've somehow solved it.

In msconfig, the boot tab, advanced, I've selected 2 cores and the amount of RAm that I have and .... no BSOD'd, 2 times in a row.

Until now I've done 2 Clean Boots with no BSOD's.
Tomorow morning I'm loading all the services.

I'll keep you posted.

Thank you,
Alex

Glad you found it . Let us know if we can help

Hello,

Seems like it worked.
No BSOD's with all the services and startup items loaded.

I know it sounds a bit childish ... but, what have I done ?

Isn't Windows able to do that automaticly ?

Thank you,
Alex

Windows does do it automatically. In order for it to be changed it usually has to be done manually.

Hello again,

No BSOD with that seting.

But ... now my windows recognizes just one core and 4Gb of Ram memory.
My temp's are a bit odd right now, it idle's at 60 and in games it runs up to 85.

Can you help me ? Again

Thank you,
Alex

Can you upload a photo (Screenshots and Files - Upload and Post in Seven Forums) of your msconfig boot tab? Also, upload a photo of the Advanced Options found in that tab.
