Windows 7: Loads Of BSODs On New PC During Normal Use.

airbusA346 · 21 May 2012

Hi,

I built a new PC last week and have installed Windows 7 Ultimate x64.

I kept getting BSODs on the first install, so thought I would reinstall Windows, but it keeps BSODing on the fresh install.

I have updated Windows, BIOS, and all the ASUS drivers that it allowed me to, it won't let me install th ASUS chipset driver though.

I was wondering if any one can tell me how to fix the BSODing.

I will attach the minidump files from the BSODs I have had tonight when the computer stays on long enough for me to upload them.

Thanks.

Welcome to Windows Seven Forums.

There's not too much we can do until we get your dump files.

It would be helpful if you post your full computer specifications.

When you are able to upload the dump files, our BSOD experts will analyze them for you.

Attachment 212884

Computer wasn't used 18th-20th May, that is why there is no dump files for those dates.

Has anyone been able to look at the mini dump files?

Your crashes primarily indicate hard disk problems. This could mean hard disk corruption, bad sectors, a failing hard disk, Windows files or registry corruption, viruses, or memory problems.

If you are overclocking any hardware, please stop.
Run Disk Check with both boxes checked for all HDDs and with Automatically fix file system errors checked for all SSDs. Post back your logs for the checks after finding them using Check Disk (chkdsk) - Read Event Viewer Log (you may need to search for wininit instead of chkdsk).
For any drives that do not give the message:
Windows has checked the file system and found no problems
run disk check again as above. In other words, if it says:
Windows has made corrections to the file system
after running the disk check, run the disk check again.
Run the short and long tests with SeaTools for HDDs.
SeaTools for Windows

SeaTools for DOS
If you have an SSD, make sure the following are up to date:
- SSD firmware
- BIOS Version
- Chipset Drivers
- Hard disk controller drivers/SATA drivers
- If you have a Marvell IDE ATA/ATAPI device, uninstall it in device manager and see if the system performs better.
Check Windows for corruption. Run SFC /SCANNOW Command - System File Checker up to three times to fix all errors with a restart in between each. Post back if it continues to show errors after a fourth run or if the first run comes back with no integrity violations. Use OPTION THREE of SFC /SCANNOW Command - System File Checker to provide us with the sfcdetails.txt file if errors occur.
Download and install Malwarebytes, update it, do not start the free trial, and then run a full scan. Also run a full scan with your antivirus software installed on your system. If you do not have antivirus software installed, see the Good and Free system security combination. for better security steps and scanning tools. Make sure to update the security software before running the full scan.
Run the boot version of Memtest86+ paying close attention to Parts 2 and 3 of the tutorial. Also, in case Memtest86+ misses anything and comes up with no errors, run the extended version of the Windows Memory Diagnostics Tool for at least five passes. These you may want to run overnight since they take a long time to complete (run them an hour before bed each of the next two nights and check before going to sleep that they are still running).

Warning

Before you proceed with the following, answer these two questions: Are you still under warranty? Does your warranty allow you to open up the machine to check hardware? If you are unsure of the answers to these questions, contact your system manufacturer. WARNING: The steps that follow can void your warranty!!!

For Part 3: If You Have Errors: If you swap any memory components, follow these steps for ESD safety:
1. Shut down and turn off your computer.
2. Unplug all power supplies to the computer (AC Power then battery for laptops, AC power for desktops)
3. Hold down the power button for 30 seconds to close the circuit and ensure all power drains from components.
4. Make sure you are grounded by using proper grounding techniques, i.e. work on an anti-static workbench, anti-static desk, or an anti-static pad. Hold something metallic while touching it to the anti-static surface, or use an anti-static wristband to attach to the anti-static material while working. If you do not have an anti-static workbench, desk, or pad, you can use your computer tower/case by finding a metal hold in it, such as a drive bay.
Once these steps have been followed, it is safe to remove and replace components within your computer.

If you need further troubleshooting, please follow the http://www.sevenforums.com/crashes-d...tructions.html to provide us with the full crash reports.

Currently got Memtest running:

Still on pass 1 I think even though it has already passed 100% once.

Currently showing 611 errors and counting most on Test #7 [Random number sequence]

Shame it doesn't indicate which RAM stick the error is on.

You should go through part 3 of the Memtest86+ tutorial if you get errors. The instructions in the tutorial say to run until you reach 7 passes (or more) or when errors occur, so you can stop the test.

Airbus,
Writhziden gave you a list of steps to carry out.

Please report on the steps in that list which preceded the mention of MemTest86+

Here is how to fill in your System Specs so that one doesn't need to go searching an entire thread for info regarding your system specs:

Update your SevenForums System Specs
User CP (located on the top menu bar) |
Your Profile | Edit System Spec (left-hand column)

To gather info, use Speccy (my favorite) or SIW or System Info

Add the word laptop or desktop or netbook to the
“system manufacturer” block, for example,
Toshiba Satellite L305D notebook.

Provide full windows version info, for example:
MS Windows 7 Ultimate SP1 64-bit

Use the “Other Info” block for Optical Reader,
Mouse, touchpad, wifi adapter, speakers, monitor, etc

Scroll down and click on SAVE CHANGES.
