Various BSOD at random

About new softwares I didn't install anything..but at the time I thought too it could be related to HD probs but I run various diagnostic and never found anything...btw just in cas: I just finished with a CHKDSK /R and it found nothing..so i would tend to exclude the HD..

Weird thing is that these days most of the times just as soon as I boot W7 Explorer stops working and restart itself...who knows....

Let me see if for the next couple of weeks I get any other BSOD or what

Ok..it looks like we didn't solve a thing

I just had another BSOD:

"bla bla bla...

KERNEL_DATA_INPAGE_ERROR

bla bla bla bla

tech info:

*** STOP: 0x0000007A (0xFFFFF6FC4000B810, 0xFFFFFFFFC0000056, 0x00000000561AC860, 0xFFFFF88001702C08)

*** Ntfs.sys - Addddress FFFFF88001702C08 base at FFFFF88001613000, Datestamp4d79997b

Collecting data for crash dump....
Initializing disk for crash dump...
Physical memory dump FAILED with status 0xC0000010.
bla bla bla bla..."

Any help would be appreciated.. :)

Ok...I'm starting to freak out. I just had 5 BSOD one after the other.

The first one while playing MW3 and all the other during W7 boot: I couldn't even launch the OS itself!!

Please please please...anybody who can give me any suggestion on how to solve this or at least who can help to understand where the problem is would be greatly appreciated: I'd offer you guys a beer if I only knew where to send it!

P.S. I don't know if it could be related but before succeeding to boot I opened the case and used some compressed air to clean the dust...maybe a temp problem?

Disk check can pass and the hard disk can still be bad. Have you run hard disk diagnostics?

• Run the short and long tests with SeaTools.
  SeaTools for Windows
  
  SeaTools for DOS

Could be temperatures. Could also be corrupted memory which may indicate your memory is faulty.

• 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.

Ok..just a quick update: I didn't have the chance to run the tests you suggested in the past 2 days but THANK YOU for the detailed guide I'm gonna use as soon as I can...

Unfortunately I'm leaving tomorrow to Italy and I won't be back before July...however...in the meanwhile I tried to re-install from scratch the MoB drivers to the latest version and IT SEEMS that I got rid of the USB3 malfuction issue as well as of the BSOD issues (well actually it's only been 2 days without crashes...but so far so good...)

I'll report back as soon as I'll have some more data :)

A fresh install often will help resolve problems. That is a good troubleshooting step, so well done!

I will remain subscribed to this thread, so when you get back, post if you need help. I'll get a message when you post. :)
