3 BSOD's in one hour, no logs to show for it though

Hello,

Sorry to butt in Tobias.

Code:

MaxSpeed:     3400
 
CurrentSpeed: 3502

Overclocks are very risky and could cause problems such as BSODs. I suggest you to reset everything back to default, and do not overclock during this troubleshooting process.

If updating the NewDeathAdder Mouse driver did not work, then try uninstalling it temporarily.

Also please post up the new crash files.

I'm not sure if you guys can help me out on this, but I cannot figure out how to remove the overclock from my machine. I used ASUS' "Auto Tuning"/"TurboV EVO" to overclock it originally (about 6 months ago), and I cannot find anything in the AI Suite II software to undo it. I tried poking around in the BIOS settings, where I could see that it was overclocked, and I disabled the Turbo feature in the BIOS, but it didn't underclock it and I cannot find anywhere else to do it.

Edit: Think I figured it out

bbl,

Follow this procedure, precisely as written, you will get your dumps.

MEMORY DUMPS - REQUIREMENTS


Enable automatic management of the Paging file
WIN + PAUSE/BREAK key combo |
Advanced system settings (left-hand side) |

If Overwrite any existing file is checked, then:
Ø Under Write debugging information, select Kernel memory dump
Ø Uncheck Overwrite any existing file
Ø Under Write debugging information, select Small memory dump
Ø OK button
If you get a crazy message from Win 7 about your paging file being too small, then just ignore the message since we have already made sure that the paging file is set to be managed by Win 7.

ENABLE THE WINDOWS ERROR REPORTING SERVICE
WIN key | type SERVICES.MSC | ENTER |
Scroll down to Windows Error Reporting Service |
Rt-clk on Windows Error Reporting Service | Properties |
General tab | for Startup type, choose Automatic |
In Service status, Start button (unless grayed out) | OK


ASSURE THAT CCLEANER IS NOT DELETING DUMPS
CCLEANER | Cleaner icon | Windows tab | System category |
Uncheck Memory Dumps
· WINDOWS ERROR REPORTING SERVICE must NOT be disabled!
· WIN | Services.msc | Enter
· Under Name, locate Windows Error Reporting Service
· If Status is not Started, then
Right-click on Windows Error Reporting Service |choose START
· If Startup Type is not Automatic, then
Right-click on Windows Error Reporting Service |
choose Properties | General tab |
set Startup type to Automatic
· Close Services.msc (I like to use ALT + F4)

After a crash, the minidump file will be in %SystemRoot%\Minidump
%SystemRoot% is generally C:\Windows
