BSOD While Streaming/Downloading/Gaming, Mostly DRIVER_IRQL Messages

If it wants to, let it. I'm not very familiar with the program but it's probably to stop the computer and card overheating.

Okay. I just woke up and it ran for 26 passes without any errors. Everything else you asked me to do is completed as well!

Wow, this is a hard one to crack!

I'm going to throw another idea out there. It is unlikely to show anything but it's worth a shot. Try testing your HDD again, not with Seatools but with the western digital version - Data Lifeguard Diagnostic.

We've also run Furmark earlier (see here) which came back with no errors. I've got two more stress tests to run and we'll see if they pick up something.

Please run Prime95 to check for hardware issues. Run the first tests for a couple of hours. If any errors occur or the machine starts to overheat, stop the tests and post them back here.

Then run NVIDIA/AMD Video Card - Test with OCCT. Just run the default tests.

Could you also upload the latest dumps please. Thanks

Stephen

EDIT - Oh, would you mind marking this thread as unsolved as we're still having issues? Thanks

My HD still isn't showing up when I boot, so scanning it with a DOS program still isn't going to work, unfortunately. I've attached the files for the latest dump, I took the other three out that were previously loaded. I'll run the Prime95 and NVIDIA tests as soon as I post this.

Thanks a ton for the help, as always.

Ok, had a look at your latest dump and that is once again blaming DirectX so a graphics issue is looking very likely. Report back after the tests and we'll go from there. We will find a solution to this, eventually. :)

Stephen

Hi again,

Had a look at the latest dumps, nothing new there. Still pointing towards a hardware issue. Don't worry about the GPU memory tests, we've run some already. Run the other tests and report back.

Quick question, do you have another graphics card you could use in your computer? If so, I think it might be worth using that one for a week or so and see how stable the system is. If all BSOD's stop, the graphics card is at fault. If not, we can focus on other components.

Stop Press - New Idea!

Hey Matt, had a new idea after looking at some of your latest files again.

Could you please uninstall EVGA Precision X. This is a graphics card overclocking software. Restore all settings to their default values and then uninstall using REVO uninstaller. This could be the issue and the breakthough we needed! :)

Stephen

Sure can. I'll give that a shot. One of my friends asked me to download it. The only thing I use it for is to manipulate my fan speeds at different temperatures. Nothing else was overclocked. But, that may've been the issue anyway perhaps?

I've run all the other tests (minus the HDD one since my BIOS still doesn't detect it) and no, I don't have an extra graphics card laying around. This one was actually set to replace the one that burned out, heh.

Anyway, everything is done. I guess I'll find out later if that was the issue!

If you're looking for a fan monitoring and control program, this works quite well - SpeedFan - Access temperature sensor in your computer.

Lets see how things go. However, I think the BSOD during Prime95 was caused by the GFX card. Would you mind running it again and observing it. If it BSOD's again during the test, there is a GFX card issue that will require it to be replaced. However, it might be under warranty. However, we'll cross that bridge if we come to it.
