Windows 7: BSoD playing Everquest

Kailihn · 26 May 2012

Running Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit which came preinstalled on my HP machine.
I recently used their recovery discs to restore it to factory settings but that didn't help.
This machine is about 18 months old and I have never overclocked it or replaced any of the original hardware.
Windows 7 Home Premium
AMD Phenom II x6 1045T 2.7 GHz
Foxconn 2AB1 DVT mobo
ATI Radeon Hd 5570
8 gigs RAM

Prior to resetting the software I was getting several different BSoD messages:
Driver IRQL not less or equal
Bad pool header
Bad pool caller
A device driver attempting to corrupt the system has been caught with an error code of 0x000000c4 indicating a file sftplaylh.sys

After restoring to factory settings my first attempt playing Everquest was error free for 3 hours. Today I crashed within 5-10 minutes with a Reference by pointer error.

I have run Memtest 86 and Windows own Memory Diagnostics multiple times with no errors.
I downloaded and ran Secunia's PSI program as well based on posts here to update my software.

Attached are the zipped system health report and the Windows NT6 folder as per the BSoD post instructions.

If you need any more information I will do my best to provide it, this is definitely a learn as I go experience

Thank you in advance!

Only 1 memory dump in the uploaded reports. If using a disk cleaner, please stop until we're finished troubleshooting.

SP1 isn't installed, please do the following:

Quote:

Installing Windows 7 Service Pack 1
1. Visit the PC manufacturer's website and update ALL drivers. DO NOT use Windows Update or the "Update drivers" function of Device Manager.
2. Check Device Manager for any unknown/disabled devices - if there are unknown/disabled devices, fix them with the latest drivers from the device manufacturer's website (not the PC Manufacturer)
3. Visit Windows Update and get all updates (may take repeated visits)
4. Visit Windows Update and get Service Pack 1 (usually under Important Updates). Read these notes for installing SP1: Steps to follow before you install Windows 7 SP1 and Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1 from the Microsoft Download Center
5. Visit Windows Update and get any other available updates. May take repeated visits, but keep it up until you get several "Windows is updated" results.
If you're having difficulties with installing a Service Pack, please use the SURTool from this link: What is the System Update Readiness Tool?
Also, check out this troubleshooting link from Microsoft: Troubleshoot problems installing Service Pack 1 (SP1) for Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2

I have had limited success in installing updates/Service Packs when using a "clean boot". I suspect that I'm just bypassing the problem - and that it can come back to bite me in the butt later on.

There's nothing certain about what I've seen in the reports, so let's hit the most common problem areas first (I'll suggest some tests later on that should give us more info).

Update Norton Internet Security to the latest available version. If you don't want to do that, then uninstall it and install a free antivirus for testing purposes (list here: Free AntiVirus )

Update your ATI video drivers to the latest version available from Global Provider of Innovative Graphics, Processors and Media Solutions | AMD

Update wireless network drivers. Yours date from 2009.

usbfilter.sys dates from 2009 - it's likely to be a part of the AMD chipset drivers. Please download and install the latest version from Global Provider of Innovative Graphics, Processors and Media Solutions | AMD

If this doesn't fix the BSOD's, please run Driver Verifier according to these instructions: Driver Verifier Settings

You can also start with the free hardware tests on this page as time allows. I don't suspect a hardware problem, but you can never be too sure! Hardware Diagnostics

The following info is just FYI, I've already addressed the issues that I saw in the above paragraphs

SP1 was not visible to me until I installed the SUR tool, so that was a big help.

I updated Norton Internet Security, installed Service Pack 1, updated video drivers from the link and ran a Driver Autodetect from their site which gave me a new set of AMD drivers which I hope covered the usbfilter.sys file.

I am not sure how to update my wireless driver and I am not currently using wireless for my internet connection.

Once I did the aforementioned updates, I crashed about 10 minutes into my game so I turned on the Driver Verifier as per the instructions and tried the game again this evening. Memory Management and PNF List Corrupt errors provided some more dump files to look at.

I will try some of the hardware diagnostics tomorrow evening and see if that comes up with anything.

Thank you for your time

If you're using a disk cleaning program, please stop while we're troubleshooting.

AMD OverDrive (AODDriver2.sys) is either a stand-alone application, or a component of the AMD VISION Engine Control Center. This driver is known to cause BSOD's on some Windows 7 systems.

Quote:

Please uninstall all AMD/ATI video stuff from Control Panel...Programs...Uninstall a program
Then, download and install a fresh copy of the ATI drivers from http://www.ati.com (in the upper right corner of the page)
- Select the "Custom" installation option and don't let it install AMD OverDrive or the VISION Engine Control Center (if present)
Then use the ATI uninstall manager to uninstall the Catalyst Control Center (CCC). This is a separate issue and isn't required for the AMD OverDrive removal.

If the device (AODDriver or AODDriver4.01) remains a problem, open Device Manager, select the "View" item.
Then select "Show hidden devices" and scroll down to the Non-Plug and Play Drivers section.
Locate the AODDriver entry, right click on it and select "Uninstall". Reboot for changes to take affect.

Sometimes the driver remains and continues to cause BSOD's. If this is the case for you, post back and we'll give further instructions for safely removing it.

If overclocking, please stop. Remove the overclock and return the system to stock/standard values while we're troubleshooting. Once the system is stable again, feel free to resume the overclocking.

AMD chipset drivers still date from 2009 - please ensure that you have updated them. If you've done it, please include a link to the place that you downloaded them from.

As for the networking driver - if you're not using wireless, simply uninstall the software and remove the device (or disable it in the BIOS).

Don't forget to turn off Driver Verifier by using the "Delete existing settings" in the first screen>
This may end up being a hardware problem - so we have to address all of the older drivers in order to be sure of that.

In the event that it is a hardware problem, we'll start with these free diagnostics: Hardware Diagnostics

I am not using a disk cleaning program and I wouldn't have a clue how to overclock a computer even if I were so inclined, which I am not. I do notice that I have many more crashes than I have dump files but I am uploading the latest ones I have. Is there something I can do to fix that?

I updated the AMD chipset drivers and repeatedly removed the AODDriver4.1. After rebooting to complete the removal it would be gone but twice now it has shown up again (currently it is not showing the driver in the Non Plug and Play list). I removed the Catalyst Control Center and the wireless network device.

Driver Verifier is turned off but I am still crashing in game with a variety of error messages, including 2 or 3 crashes that did not give an error message. I also had my first crash outside of game when I tried to update the system's performance rating.

I'm going to start the hardware tests now.

Here's a link to an article that explains how a dump file is generated: BSOD Crash Dump Generation
Generally there's not much to do. Most frequently the dumps don't show up because it's either outside of Windows ability to figure it out, or it's corrupted in such a way that Windows decides not to keep the information.

You're still having trouble with the AOD (AMD OverDrive), so here's my other suggestions:

Quote:

If AODDriver2.sys is still present and the software/device isn't present and the driver isn't needed - then please do this:

- create a System Restore point.
- create a System Repair disc and ensure that it works. To do this, go to Start...All Programs...Maintenance...Create a System Repair Disc
- uninstall all ATI video stuff using Control Panel...Programs...Uninstall a program (this may make the next 3 steps unnecessary - if so, just continue on).

- check in services.msc to see if there is an AOD service. If there is, set it to "Disabled" for the startup type.
- then disable any startups that name AODDriver2.sys using Autoruns (free from here: Autoruns for Windows )
- rename AODDriver2.sys to AODDriver2.BAD (it's probably in C:\Windows\System32\drivers)

- reboot and see if that fixes the problem(s). Check in C:\Windows\System32\drivers to be sure that it stays renamed.
- install fresh video drivers using the procedure here: ATI video cards - DRIVER ONLY installation procedure
DO NOT install the full Catalyst Control Center package!!!

Just FYI - when we see a bunch of different errors with a bunch of different causes - it says to us that this is a hardware problem. BUT - there are many different things that simulate hardware issues, so we have to rule them out before deciding that it's an problem with the physical piece of hardware.

These 2 links explain (in more detail) how we go about doing this:
- Info on how to troubleshoot BSOD's (DRAFT): http://www.carrona.org/userbsod.html
- How I do it: http://www.carrona.org/howidoit.html

The AODDriver2.sys is still present - so try my suggestions above for removing traces of it.

Try this to help ensure that your Norton/Symantec protection isn't at fault:

Quote:

Anti-Virus Removal:
Please do the following:
- download a free antivirus for testing purposes: Free AntiVirus
- uninstall the Norton from your system (you can reinstall it, if so desired, when we're done troubleshooting)
- remove any remnants of Norton using this free tool: http://us.norton.com/support/kb/web_...080710133834EN
- IMMEDIATELY install and update the free antivirus, then check to ensure that the Windows Firewall is turned on.
- check to see if this fixes the BSOD's
NOTE: NEVER run more than 1 anti-virus, firewall, Internet Security/Security Center application at the same time.

The wireless network device driver (netr28x.sys) present. Please ensure that the software for it is uninstalled. Then I would suggest going into Device Manager, right clicking on the wireless device and selecting "Uninstall"

If that doesn't do it, then:
- set a System Restore point (you'll still have the System Repair disk from the previous operations).
- rename the netr28x.sys to netr28x.BAD
- ensure that any entry in Autoruns for netr28x.sys is disabled
- then reboot and ensure that the driver remains renamed.

If these 3 problems are cleared up and the system still BSOD's - then we presume that it's a problem with a piece of physical hardware. Then the hardware diagnostics become essential.

The following info is just FYI, I've already addressed the issues that I saw in the above paragraphs

Kailihn · 31 May 2012

I uninstalled Norton's and opted for MS Security Essentials.
I chased my tail for a while until I figured out that my AOD file was in C:\Program Files\ATI Technologies\ATI.ACE\Fuel\amd64 and after running the Autoruns program and disabling 2 things I renamed it as a bad file and it stayed that way after restarting.

I did not have as much luck with the wireless network driver. Despite renaming the file and uninstalling the device, as soon as I restarted my computer it would just put it back again. I did finally find a driver for it from 2012 and I am crossing my fingers that will solve that problem.

I had one crash prior to completing the 3 tasks but due to the late hour will not be able to test it out in game. I checked out Furmark and did not experience any crashes - my computer maxed out at 87 degrees Celsius. I was unable to set it to log the temperatures as directed as that would cause the program to freeze.

I will set up Memtest86 to run overnight though and start working on more of the hardware tests. Tomorrow evening I'll put the 3 changes I just did to the test when I play the game.

usasma · 01 Jun 2012

More and more we find that driver files aren't being stored in their usual location (C:\Windows\System32\drivers) and that makes it more difficult. Thanks for letting us know the new path, I've included it in my canned speech.

As long as you got Furmark to run, and you observed it's max temp - all should be OK.

Looking forward to the rest of the results...

Kailihn · 03 Jun 2012

After the last software fixes my system was pretty stable. In two days I only had 1 crash and was able to play my game for 3 hours straight at one point. Since I did have the one crash I couldn't post back that my issues were resolved and I started in on the hardware tests on your site.

I ran the memory tests with no errors two nights in a row. One night it was still running when I woke up, the next night I woke up to my regular desktop with nothing running...I wasn't sure what to make of that.

Furmark and Prime95 both ran with no errors though I did notice that cpu #5 did not complete tests as quickly as the other 5 processors.
I tried to run the hard drive fitness test and it wasn't seeing my HD so I skipped to the cpu stress tests. And that's when it all began to unravel.

I tried Hot CPU Lite (the free version) with the following results:

LinX also ran with no errors but then I tried OCCT using the settings suggested to test overall CPU health. My system crashed prior to completion 2 or 3 times. It ran fine until about 80% of the way through the test.

I Googled CPU stress tests and found another one not listed on your page and maybe that was my big mistake. I found a lot of posts suggesting that S&M FPU was a good test to try and when it was loading I started crashing. Repeatedly.

I ran the BSoD app again so I could post the logs here before I caused more harm to my machine and crashed several times just trying to zip up the two files. This is definitely new and not improved as previously my system only crashed while playing Everquest.

usasma · 03 Jun 2012

Go to the Seagate website and download the Seatools test for Windows and try running that.

Gotta run right now, will post back later on (in a couple of hours)
