    Multiple code errors, BSOD while gaming/netflix/idle...


    This has been happening for the past four months now to no avail. I get BSOD about every 1-4 days, often with different messages, but the average as of right now is 1e.

    Built this system in October 2010. I've always had BSOD problems, but with work getting in the way and not really using my comp for a year, I wasn't able to tackle the problem. Now, while playing League of Legends it often crashes, or any other game (every 1-2 days) or when I'm just streaming something on netflix. I've had times when it'll blue screen while it's been at the log in screen. I'm baffled.

    I've ran countless Memtest86's (7 pass minimum), seaDOS tool, disk check, sfc /scannow... everything checks out. I've reformatted my computer most recently (it's been often) around mid January.

    Around that time, I decided that maybe it was my power supply, ram or video card, so I bought all new stuff. BSOD kept happening, reran tests, still checked out. I've checked and double checked all my drivers. I really am at a loss.

    Went on Asus' forums for my motherboard, since RAM wasn't on compatibility list and asked about it. They said it should be fine if it passes memtest. Cool n' Quiet is also disabled on my BIOS, as they said that is also a frequent BSOD antagonist.

    No original OS.
    Windows 7 full retail, reformatted in January.
    CPU, HDD, MoBo, October 2010
    PSU, RAM, GPU, November 2011

    Specs in profile, but just for reference...
    MoBo: ASUS M4A88T-M USB 3.0
    PSU: Corsair TX650W
    CPU: AMD Phenom II 3.1 GHz
    HDD: Seagate Barracuda 1Tb 7200.12
    RAM: G. Skill Ripjaw series, DDR3 1600 8Gb (4Gb x 2)
    GPU: Powercolor Radeon HD 6850 1 Gb
    Avira Anti Virus, Malwarebytes as defense software.

    I hope I attached the .zip files correctly.

    Thank you!

    I would run driver verifier to find which driver/drivers are the culprits.

    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.

    crashes are all over the place.
    At this point in time I'm going to suggest checking your memory (at least 5 passes)
    RAM - Test with Memtest86+

    He already did

    The only readable crashes I have there are all memory management 1a.
    Could this be an xmp problem?

    @MC
    He has Nine different BCC, and has passed memtest. Either it is further hardware, or he has a corrupt driver hence the driver verifier.


    @redsennacy2189

    This driver may be suspect. (aj08l6wj.SYS)

    Please download the free version of Malwarebytes.
    Update it immediately.
    Do a full system scan
    Let us know the results at the end.

    Sorry zig I never meant to state your analysis was wrong.

    I actually do recall seeing 2 2012 dated drivers I wasn't familiar with.

    No worries. I can always use an extra pair of eyes.

    Thanks

    what kills me is that i built my ex-bf an identical computer at the same time. He also had BSOD but it resolved when he bought new ram and PSU. It's what prompted me to do the same for mine, but I still have issues.

    Yes, I had already ran mem test about 4, different slots, times (7-8 passes each). They all came back with no problem.

    Malwarebytes, ironically, i updated and ran right after I posted my results. All clean. As well as Avira's scan. Since I have restarted the computer already, I'll go ahead and run another full scan and post the end results here. In the mean time, my comp is running under the recommended stress test.

    I really, really, really hope you guys can help me figure this out. My codes are all over the place, and every time I think I fixed it, another BSOD will happen about a week later. Funny thing is, I've crashed a lot more than there are minidumps.

    If the ram is good, the next step is driver verifier. It should identify the driver/drivers that are causing the 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).
