BSOD with eclipse, waterfox and spotify running, bug code 0x00000109

Whitehooder · 27 Nov 2012

So I was surfing the web, listening to music and programming a simple Java plugin when a BSOD popped out of nowhere. It said: "Modification of critical system architecture was detected" or something like that. Attached the a zip file of my bluescreen dump file.

Thanks in advance :)

Your crash dumps are not showing any finite probable cause. In such a situation, it is better to enable Driver Verifier to monitor the drivers.

Driver Verifier - Enable and Disable

Run Driver Verifier for 24 hours or the occurrence of the next crash, whichever is earlier.

Let us know the results, with the subsequent crash dumps, if any. And, post it following the Blue Screen of Death (BSOD) Posting Instructions.

Thank you, sir. I will enable the verifier and post here if I get any further BSODs.

Whitehooder · 29 Nov 2012

Okay... I've had a LOT of BSODs by now, with the verifier running, if anyone could inform me on how to check out the report I would be greatful. Anyways, I've zipped em up again, this time its quite a few. I do know that probably many of these is from me putting on the cooling paste wrongly, I have now fixed it but wanted to upload all dumps anyway. Maybe you/we could find any drivers that is misbehaving. I will tell here further if i get any other BSODs since I've fixed the problem with the cooling paste. Thanks.

Test your RAM modules for possible errors.

How to Test and Diagnose RAM Issues with Memtest86+
Run memtest for at least 8 passes, preferably overnight, per RAM module per slot.

Do some disc checks.

Update your SSD's Firmware (skip it, if it is not a SSD)
Re- seat the sata and power.
Run chkdsk /f/r, following the option two of the tutorial Disk Check
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.

Scan the system for possible virus infection.

Let us know the results.

I have yet to perform the tests but recently got one more, I used bluescreenview and discovered it had something to do with the driver "atimdag.sys". Could this be my graphics card?
Also I've included the dump file too.

It seems that the display drive r you have installed it not the latest one.

Code:

 lmvm atikmdag
start             end                 module name
fffff880`05c02000 fffff880`067b5000   atikmdag T (no symbols)           
    Loaded symbol image file: atikmdag.sys
