    bsod playing ddo but don't think its game related


    OS: windows 7 home premium (x64)
    manufacturer: toshiba
    Model: satellite L555-s2007
    processor: pentium dual core CPU t4400@2.20ghz
    RAM: 4gb


    Okay so just recently started getting bsods. Its happens when i try to run the mmo that i play but i don't believe the game is related to the issue, i am sure there are a million mini dump threads started and i am wasting my time by writing this all out but felt this info might help someone understand my problem i have recently reset my LT to out of box (OOB) settings which corrected a wireless problem i was having but not the bsod issue, so best i can figure there are two problems that could of started the bluescreen issue,

    1. during an in-game event i was experiencing lag due to losing wireless connection, so i disabled my wireless and plugged in the ethernet cable for direct connection which worked as planned the problem might of arose when a friend invited me over to play at his house and i re-enabled my wireless it seemed to of messed up the drivers or something because i couldn't connect using wireless until reset to OOB only thing that would work was the hard line

    2. the other thing that might of caused the issue was the downloading of a trial of eve online which might of messed with my directx or even installed drivers. this would make more sense then 1 but i feel that the bsod might of happened once before this install

    So either way the issue seems to be either sound card related or wireless, one of realtek drivers, not sure but from just trying to solve my own problems using this forum, google, and the ddo forum thats what i am assuming. also b4 it dumps it makes a sound like someones getting pulled out of the matrix for the first time if that helps. So in conclusion, any help would be greatly appreciated and thanks in advance for any tips


    P.S trying to educate myself on debugging using this link:
    Configuring the "Debugging Tools"
    and ran into a roadblock at step 1 as i can't seem to figure out which debugger best suits my system and the .net windows 7 one seems to need additional components i don't have if someone could point me in the right direction it would be greatly appreciated

    Hello Erasamus and thank you for your provided information.

    BSOD Analyse

    The internet sometimes starts to be a little choppy. I experienced internet problems just before my BSODs, it's quite normal in my opinion due to driver stopped failures and so on and so forth. Let's have a look what your BSODs you're experienced are causing.

    Causes

    Your dumps points at different Windows kernel modules. This is very general when the Debugging Tool cannot find the correct driver to blame. The process as we're seeing everyday, ntkrnlmp.exe, is a process that is involved in almost every kind of dump we're analysing.

    Drivers and kernels
    Code:
    0: kd> lmvm dxgkrnl
    start             end                 module name
    fffff880`05109000 fffff880`051fd000   dxgkrnl    (pdb symbols)          c:\symbols\dxgkrnl.pdb\0978CEFF4A55409499D26AD13392E14C1\dxgkrnl.pdb
        Loaded symbol image file: dxgkrnl.sys
        Mapped memory image file: c:\symbols\dxgkrnl.sys\4D3FA1A0f4000\dxgkrnl.sys
        Image path: \SystemRoot\System32\drivers\dxgkrnl.sys
        Image name: dxgkrnl.sys
        Timestamp:        Wed Jan 26 05:22:56 2011 (4D3FA1A0)
        CheckSum:         000FB765
        ImageSize:        000F4000
        File version:     6.1.7600.16748
        Product version:  6.1.7600.16748
        File flags:       0 (Mask 3F)
        File OS:          40004 NT Win32
        File type:        3.7 Driver
    Direct-X is blamed. If it is Direct-X itself, or it's one of the Windows files - it's a little hard to tell. Therefore, we'll be running 2 diagnose possible solutions to this driver point.

    1) We usually ask people to do this command to check if Windows is corrupted. It's the most common used one to check if the Windows files are corrupted. If it'll find errors, it'll restore them.
       Tip
    If you're having a custom customization layer on your Aero, it's likely to get restored to default.



    Press Start | search 'cmd' | Right-click it
    | open as Admin | type SFC /SCANNOW

    SFC /SCANNOW Command - System File Checker

    2) Update your Direct-X files. You mentioned you've played a MMO, therefore it's likely Direct-X has stepped in and has reported failure in the Direct-X related files. Do an update on the files every year, that's my recommendation. By that you can secure the files won't be corrupted and fail. For now, just do a single Direct-X file update, you can do it by following the simply wizard below.

    Download: DirectX End-User Runtime - Microsoft Download Center - Download Details


    SP1

    I do not see any .vertarget information related on an installed Service Pack 1. You've got all the hotfixes, but you're missing SP1. Download it from Windows Update. If you have any issues installing, as many people have, just return here.

    Bugcheck Summery
    Code:
    SYSTEM_SERVICE_EXCEPTION (3b)
    An exception happened while executing a system service routine.
    Arguments:
    Arg1: 00000000c0000005, Exception code that caused the bugcheck
    Arg2: fffff960000c818d, Address of the instruction which caused the bugcheck
    Arg3: fffff88002232a80, Address of the context record for the exception that caused the bugcheck
    Arg4: 0000000000000000, zero.
    -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    BAD_POOL_CALLER (c2)
    The current thread is making a bad pool request.  Typically this is at a bad IRQL level or double freeing the same allocation, etc.
    Arguments:
    Arg1: 0000000000000007, Attempt to free pool which was already freed
    Arg2: 0000000000001097, (reserved)
    Arg3: 0000000000000000, Memory contents of the pool block
    Arg4: fffffa8003ce7570, Address of the block of pool being deallocated
    -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA (50)
    Invalid system memory was referenced.  This cannot be protected by try-except,
    it must be protected by a Probe.  Typically the address is just plain bad or it
    is pointing at freed memory.
    Arguments:
    Arg1: fffff8a015d8879c, memory referenced.
    Arg2: 0000000000000000, value 0 = read operation, 1 = write operation.
    Arg3: fffff880014141f5, If non-zero, the instruction address which referenced the bad memory
        address.
    Arg4: 0000000000000002, (reserved)
    Looking at your bugchecks I suspect hardware issues, most likely memory issues. Download a copy of Memtest86+ and leave it for 7-8 passes.

    okay so thank you for quick response,

    1. okay so i ran the scannow and it came back with no integrity violations

    2. then i DL'd the directx runtime from the link u provided, i havent had a chance to test the game yet but after a quick afk i surely will and i will let u know if my problem is solved

    3. i cannot seem to get the memtest86+ installed, i clicked on the second DL link on the link u provided precompiled bootable iso .zip iirc did i go for the wrong link? i also seem to think that a memory issue might be related to my problem so if there is another link u can give me or if u can talk me through getting this memtest86 i would be appreciative sure i just missed something small

    Welcome back Erasamus,

    I believe you've chosen the Pre-compiled ISO one, you can burn it to a DVD if you want to. It might be more comfortable to install it on an USB stick instead.

    - Tutorial for the USB installation
    1. Download this one
    2. Open the file with 7zip or Winrar, and click the .exe file
    3. Follow the wizard.


    Make sure to install it to an empty USB to make sure that no issues will be included.

    Best Regards,
    Frederik.

    Once well get this fixed you'll be able to use your computer as used for sure.
    Memtest86+ is a wonderful place to start.

    Place one stick in one slot, move the stick to another slot. Remove the stick, put in another stick - do the same procedure. Make a Memtest86+ scan after the steps been done. By that, we can tell if it's the slots or the stick itself.

    Best Regards,
    Frederik.

    You can basically get the Memtest86+ in many methods, USB - but that'd be a problem in your regard if it didn't work.
    This is the one you should be downloading if you want it on your flashdrive.

    Download

    If you want it in an image usable for DVD, it's all on the website.

    And yes, you have to boot from the USB if you desire to use the USB. Press F5, F12 or even another one (check your MB manual), and select your USB. It should not matter what port you use.
