The dumps are still pointing at system drivers so I'll get you to do the following:

Run a full system scan with Malwarebytes.
Malwarebytes : Free anti-malware download

Run an sfc/scannow command in an elevated command prompt. If errors are found, run it twice more with each scan followed by a reboot.

Completed a full scan in about half an hour with no malicious files detected. The sfc scan also resulted with nothing wrong. Got a couple more bsods in the last couple days, uploaded dumps for them.

Take note the last bsod was self-inflicted while adjusting voltage. Gotta watch for typos in bios I suppose :/

amazingnessn · Aug 24, 2012

I got a new one tonight pointing at nwifi.sys so I ran another sfc /scannow with the same result. Is there any reason why I get windows .sys files as the cause without them being corrupted?

JaidynM · Aug 24, 2012

Change the voltages back to default. If you have changed any values in BIOS , have overclocked etc. reset their values too.

Update your ATI video card drivers from the below link. Make sure you uninstall the old drivers first.

I went into the bios and loaded it's default settings and disabled asus express gate, but if we resolve the issue with what appears to be my graphics drivers I'd like to revisit overclocking my cpu in the future.

I also went to your link for the latest amd drivers, but I already have that version installed. Is there something I gave you that indicated otherwise?

JaidynM · Aug 26, 2012

The dumps pointed to an older version of the driver. A couple of them also pointed to it as the cause of the crash. I would recommend uninstalling the driver and then reinstalling it from the aforementioned link.

amazingnessn · Aug 28, 2012

Installed 12.8 drivers, update will follow if it crashes again.

amazingnessn · Aug 29, 2012

Got another one today while playing guild wars 2.

JaidynM · Aug 31, 2012

Your ten latest dumps are referencing a bunch of different drivers including your Wi-Fi driver, ATI driver, DirectX driver and a Windows security driver. Check that you have the latest version of all of them. You may also want to try uninstalling MSE as it is referenced in one of the crashes. If the crashes continue just reinstall it as it rarely causes blue screens.

amazingnessn · Aug 31, 2012

I checked again and made sure I've updated the amd drivers to 12.8, directx, wifi card, and MSE. I'm pretty sure the wifi crash was the last one I received before turning my bios back to default.

I also have been googling around lately and found this: Fix: 43029 atikmdag.sys Blue Screen BSOD in Windows 7

I know I don't have windows vista like the problem described in the guide, but the date in my file properties for that driver is sometime in july even though I've reinstalled several times since then. Should I give this a try?

JaidynM · Aug 31, 2012

It's worth a shot, but make sure you back up the .sys file as well as anything else that is changed. Vista and 7 are considered to be a similar OS to Vista so it shouldn't really matter.

I might also suggest at this point running a http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/3413-repair-install.html. It should fix your current version and Windows 7 but preserve your data, programs, user accounts etc. Usually when there's so many different errors referenced a repair install or even clean install is worth running.

As hardware was also referenced as a likely cause I would recommend doing the following:

Stress test your CPU using Intel Burn Test.
http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/220743-cpu-stress-test-using-intelburntest.html

Test your hardware using Prime95. Watch your machine's temps and stop the test if it starts to overheat. Let it run for up to 2 hours or until errors have been found.

Im currently in the process of running the repair install, and decided to skip the .sys file replacement as that is no longer an issue with the amd installer since their 11.0 version was released.

I stopped in to note that I ran the setup as instructed, and popped up itunes and the amd software as incompatible. I stopped the setup and fixed itunes, then went to amd. While uninstalling, the screen always turns off and on. This time when it came back on, the screen went crazy but the computer itself seemed to be running normally. The screen didn't have artifacts here and there, it was all over the place covering the entire screen.

I plan on continuing with the repair but if you could shed some light on this if you've seen it before I would appreciate it.

amazingnessn · Sep 2, 2012

Just got finished installing all windows updates/rebooting till they stopped coming up, along with the newest amd drivers. Will be back if it continues to crash.

amazingnessn · Sep 7, 2012

Got my first BSOD since the repair install tonight. Really annoyed at this point...not sure what I screwed up

JaidynM · Sep 7, 2012

The dump is still pointing to ntkrnlmp.exe, yet another system driver.

Go ahead with the aforementioned stress test and report back with the results.

Can you try performing a system restore to before you got this latest BSOD (but after the repair install)?

Check for a BIOS update, you still have a version from 2010.

amazingnessn · Sep 15, 2012

Sorry for the lack of update, classes have me much busier than my summer job did. I ran the prime95 stress test (already had this on my system) and temps only got as far as 62c, which is a safe spot for my cpu.

I checked asus website for the bios update and the only one more current than what I have adds support for newer cpus (mine's been supported prior to this).

I also received two bsods since my last post, and while it's a page_fault error again, it didn't reference ati drivers this time. I'm going to run memtest a 3rd time because it has a x00000050 bug check code (correct me if I'm wrong in thinking it points to memory).

amazingnessn · Sep 20, 2012

*Sigh* back to atikmdag.sys again, same as all the old ones.
