Problem::
I'm losing the will to live. So im hoping that you can help! :)
Basically, ive had this laptop since the start of the year (Jan) and have had various problems with it. I sent it back to the seller and they replaced the GPU (Had a faulty GPU originally, causing all sorts of weird BSODs)
Spent a chunk of change sending it back to htem for repair. Got it back and everything seemed good!
First set of BSODs were ESET NOD32 Related. (old version, seemed to cause a BSOD whenever the Sandybridge CPU clocked down... guessing it was to do with the SB CPU drops 'below' the minimum requirement for Win7 - and causes the issue... Removed it and running Microsoft Security Essentials (although it appears some reminents are still there - going to be running a removal tool ASAP!)
Then i had a range of BSODs which were relating to the wireless card... (Intel Centrino ultimate-n 6300) after about a week of fiddling around with varying drivers (and finally resorting to a 'driver update' tools.. which found a version which i couldnt find anywhere else...) and thats cured the problem.... (known problem with this wifi card driver..)
(Narrowed the issue down originally as it only occurred when downloading from Steam (7MB/s) over WiFi would cause the BSOD).
Now thats fine. and hunky dory i removed all the DMP files, and started over.
Now Im randomly getting either:
IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL
DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL
PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA
DRIVER_VERIFIER_IOMANAGER_VIOLATION
These are normally occurring when im playing F1 2011 (through Steam). Issue is becoming a PITA. When running Driver verifier (dropping the FPS so that it was JUST playable..) I couldnt get the machine to BSOD!! ... F1 2011 just did an AppCrash - which one ended could be relaunched.
I've ran Windows Memtest and Memtest+ for *hours* (leaving memtest running for 24hr) and not had any errors found at all...
Notes:although in the conclusion bit it says remove dtsoftbus01.sys - its already been done, Driver Verifier prevented boot with it installed.
Currently running the BETA Driver for the nVIDIA card (always use the latest driver, regardless of WHQL or BETA - and both the latest WHQL & Latest BETA driver cause the issue)
All other drivers are upto date from what I can see...
Bluescreenview & whocrashed results for the dumps are available at
www.matt2k34.co.uk/bsod/
if that helps / saves you time analysing the DMP files :)
also the performance monitor /report is saved there too. (as is a copy of Windows_NT6_BSOD_jcgriff2)
Any help pinpointing this would be greatly appreciated.
Regards
Matt
P.S. feel free to be technical and ask things, i've done so many tests and things ive forgotten what ive done really tbh..! :) I'm normally the 'go to' guy for problems with machines, but this ones got me totally stumped.. :/
