Windows 7: BSOD streaming videos, or other flash websites

Hi,
At first I'd like to apologize for my bad english

I got a lot of BSOD for the past 2 months.
It mostly happens when I watch youtube videos, I got some also when installing the Planetside 2 beta via the launcher.

I've also noticed my computer makes more noice than it used to make. The sound seems to come from the cpu.

I've got problem to boot my computer sometimes, it will boot but the screen will remain off (yellow led).
SOmetimes it starts to make a lot of beeps and when I try to boot it, and I have to power the computer off and then on to make it boot again.


I've read my dump files with whocrashed and it seemed to point at nokernel.exe and drivers like the ones from daemon tools (removed the program, still got bsod), directx driver, and watchdog.sys

I made a Ccleaner for registery yesterday so unfortunately my dump files are gone, and I haven't been able to get new dump files since then even if I got BSODs.

I've updated my drivers via the intel website.

I've been running Memtest86+ for 10passes with no errors.



I've checked my temps with speedfan and they seem ok.



My computer was originaly running on vista 32bits, I've installed win 7 2months ago.

I'm linking my SF diagnostic tools files even if I don't think there is any dump files in it.

I'm open to suggestions, thanks in advance.

What's the age of all the hardware? And CPU making sounds does not sound good.
Go through this thread and let us know what you tried.

Hi

My computer is 4 years old.

The sound comes from the cpu ventirad. Ive tried to remove and removed a lot of dust but I can't clean up the ventilator, I've no access to it it's like a odd ventirad tower.

Also thanks for your link, I've already tried the driver verifier earlier and I got a lot of BSOD, I couldn't even log into windows even in safe mod.
I ran a system repair for windows boot, to be able to launch windows again

I was running a Prime95 blend test when I made the 1st post, it's still running atm

Okay, try to make your computer free from dust completely.

Filling in your System Specs will be very helpful.

I removed most of it with a dry air bomb.

Thanks, please get them into system specs from user cp.

got a fatal error on Worker #3 with prime95 after 3h31
FATAL ERROR: Rounding was 0.5, expected less than 0.4

I got the same error on the 4 workers with the same test after 1min blend test, a few days ago

What are your CPU temps? I think it is overheating badly and causing the issues. You may have damaged it.

wow you may be right, I've just checked the cpu temp again with speedfan
now it's 52°C idle, and it reaches 78-79°C on gaming which is too much I guess.
Last time I've checked it was 43°C on idle.

I don't overclock

I should remove the ventirad, clear it, or change it?
and I guess change thermal paste, I've no idea how to do it

And cross my fingers for the cpu not being damaged, maybe it's too late/
I just got a crash while playing a heavy game also, no BOSD just the screen turned black (yellow LED)

Thing is my CPU temp don't reach more than 52° while streaming vid and it's when I get most of my BOSD

Yes, you've exceeded Intel's max operating temp for it of 71.4C. Intel Core 2 Quad Q9400 AT80580PJ0676M (BX80580Q9400 / BXC80580Q9400)
I had to look up ventirad, cooler in English.
Minimum/Maximum operating temperatures
cleaning the fins on your cooler may help along with any dirty vents (holes) in your case to allow air to flow better.

I like to use Arctic Silver 5, AS5, for CPUs. Arctic Silver Incorporated - Céramique 2
Here's a video of one way to change the thermal paste.



It could be your graphics card too, have a go at testing it.
