    BSOD When browsing with Chrome and using R


    I did a clean install of Windows 7 along with an SSD upgrade (M4) on a friend's laptop (Toshiba E105-S1402) and soon after returning it to her she started experiencing some BSODs. I was rather concerned that I may have installed a faulty SSD drive. But then she told me it was okay and that she had gotten used to the BSODs.

    Well, had I known this was a previous issue I would have done a memory test to see if there was faulty ram, but alas I didn't know and didn't think of doing it. In any case, the BSOD does seem to occur when she's browsing with Chrome and multiple tabs are open and she is using the software R. Maybe it's just coincidence but I thought I'd ask for some help here before I have her send her laptop back to me needlessly if it's something that can be fixed remotely.

    Computer Specs
    Windows 7 - 64-bit
    Intel Mobile Core 2 Duo P8400 @ 2.26 GHz
    RAM - 4.00 GB Dual Channel DDR2 @399MHz (6-6-6-18)
    Mobile Intel 4 Series Express Chipset Family
    .NET Frameworks installed v4.0 Client, v3.5 SP1, v3.0 SP2, v2.0 SP2
    Windows Provided Info:
    BCCode: 7a
    BCP1: FFFFF6FC40006DA8
    BCP2: FFFFFFFFC000000E
    BCP3: 0000000036EF0860
    BCP4: FFFFF88000DB5630
    OS Version: 6_1_7601
    Service Pack: 1_0
    Product: 256_1

    I'm also attaching a photo of the first BSOD she got which seems different from the 7a one listed just above.

    Thanks in advance, folks.

    Hello Johnal.

    The dump you supplied is not matching with the screenshot, but a similarity may be drawn, and that is important to the inferences here.

    The screenshot says it is stop F4, and it is an SSD as you are saying (120 GB). When a SSD stops with a F4 error, what you have to try first is to update its firmware.

    Some more things you are to do there ....
    Scan your system for viruses. It is needed here.


    Disc Check:

    1. Reseat the sata and power.
    2. Run chkdsk /f/r, following the option two of the tutorial Disk Check
    3. Seatool for dos: SeaTools | Seagate download
      Burn it in a blank cd. boot from the CD, click on "Accept", wait for it to finish detecting the drives, then in the upper left corner select "Basic Tests", then select "Long Test" and let it run.

    BIOS update:
    Code:
    BIOS Version/Date    INSYDE 1.80, 9/9/2009
    ► Update Display Driver, Sound Driver, Network Adapter Driver.



    Perform those, according to priority order. After each step, notice if the situation changed or not. Let us know the situation.

    Thanks for the prompt reply!

    I wouldn't have suspected a virus simply because it was a clean install of Windows on a new Hard Drive, though, I suppose a BIOS rootkit? I dunno. Either way, I'll do as you suggested as it couldn't hurt.

    As far as I could find, the BIOS 1.80 was the latest/newest I could find so I'm not sure if I have any options there.

    I will double check the hard drive's firmware as well as run the suggested disk checks.

    Am I to understand though, that this is unlikely to be a RAM issue? Since she was having BSOD's (unfortunately I don't have those dmp files) before the new Hard Drive I had assume that to be the likely culprit. Thanks again for your prompt help and responses.

    Three or four memory records reveal such situations which matches with virus infection, specially rootkit. Dumps never indicate a virus, clearly. It is just a situational evidence, nothing more.

    The BIOS date is way back. If there is no versions after that date, that's sad for you.

    None of the provided information indicate a memory issue strongly. Still, if you want, you may opt for RAM - Test with Memtest86+.

    So i'm jumping the gun a bit but assuming the Memtest86+, and Chkdsk come out clean I'm not really sure what else to try. I'll update the firmware on the hard drive but it seems unlikely that that is the issue considering the firmware currently installed is only a couple weeks older than the new one. Are there any other suggestions or means by which I can troubleshoot? Thanks!

    Chkdsk completed and there were no errors.

    A side note -- I was checking event viewer and found I was getting an error on the machine:

    Event filter with query "SELECT * FROM __InstanceModificationEvent WITHIN 60 WHERE TargetInstance ISA "Win32_Processor" AND TargetInstance.LoadPercentage > 99" could not be reactivated in namespace "//./root/CIMV2" because of error 0x80041003. Events cannot be delivered through this filter until the problem is corrected


    Little research and found a Microsoft Fix It - Event ID 10 is logged in the Application log after you install Service Pack 1 for Windows 7 or Windows Server 2008 R2

    No more error, but not sure if it'd be related to the BSODs or not.

    Both of them are the same in that both reported an error with the disk hardware, in that the drive it intended to use (the SSD) went spontaneously missing. If all driver/BIOS/firmware updates didn't resolve this problem, then the drive itself is just bad. It happens. Get it replaced, and you should be good from then on.

    The requested page of kernel data could not be read in.  Typically caused by

    If the error status is 0xC000000E, 0xC000009C, 0xC000009D or 0xC0000185,
    it means the disk subsystem has experienced a failure.

    a filesystem failed to make forward progress.

    Arg2: ffffffffc000000e, error status (normally i/o status code)

    As the stack says, there was a surprise removal (spontaneous and unexpected). Because this was reported by partmgr, it means it involves a drive and not some other type of device. Since we're suffering a c000000e error from this surprise removal during a kernel inpage operation (as in it occurred when attempting to grab Windows data from disk), it's evident the drive that suffered the surprise removal is none other than the system drive, aka the SSD. If cable changes and rehooking did not work, as well as driver/firmware/BIOS updates, then the SSD is just dead. Simple as that.

    Thanks for your response, Vir. As was to be expected, Memtest+ ran overnight and did six passes with no errors. I also updated the firmware for the hard drive without a hitch. I couldn't recreate a BSOD but it's too soon to tell whether or not the firmware update was enough to fix the problem. Aside from the already used Seagate and chkdsk methods, are there any alternatives to testing the hard drive?

    I do have a spare M4 SSD so if another BSOD occurs I'm assuming Clonezilla will work fine for me to Clone the defective SSD over to the new one. Thanks again to all who have helped!

    I'm not sure of any, unless one is provided by Crucial (which I don't believe they do have a diagnostic test). Seagate also isn't the most reliable test for SSD drives, so consider that for future use. The only other test I know is what you're about to do, which is a hardware swap. Of course, verify if the new firmware fixes things, and if not, swap drives.

    Well, it's tough to say whether it was re-seating the hard drive a third time, the firmware update for the HD or the most unlikely - the microsoft patch/fix-it. In any case, no more BSODs have occurred and I consider this fixed. Thanks for all the help and advice sent my way. Thanks!
