Windows 7: Various blue screens, mainly caused by ntoskrnl.exe

Salvite · 09 Dec 2012

Edit: im currently running a memory diagnostics to see if my ram is corrupted, it didnt occur to me to do it till now but it seems that some of my hardware has problems, im not sure what yet but i know now that its not all just my windows install

Recently i did a clean install of windows 7 from my own personal copy, I normally dont have any problems after a fresh install but today ive had quite a few blue screens, mainly caused by ntoskrnl.exe but i also saw another by dxgmms1.sys. All the drivers i have installed are factory supplied.
this is the list of drivers ive installed after install:
nvidia geforce 500 series driver (i run a gtx 570 for reference)
sabertooth 990fx realtek ethernet driver

and other than that nothing.
i ran windows update immediately once i installed the two above and then i installed wow again.

then the problems started and i got constant blue screens every 20 min or so.
i refilled my reservoir for my water cooling tank and ive turned off all the overclocking on my pc. Then when it seemed like the blue screens wouldn't pop up anymore i loaded wow and i can barely stay on for 5 min. before i got the dxgmms1.sys blue screen.

I would really like if you guys could help me out on this.

Here is a zip of all the crashes that have happened to me today.

*** ERROR: Module load completed but symbols could not be loaded for avgidsdrivera.sys
 avgidsdrivera+0xffe6

Description here: Driver Reference Table - avgidsdrivera.sys

Scan the system for possible virus infection.

update the network driver.

Code:

lmvm rt64win7

If windows does not auto configure the appropriate drivers at startup, install the downloaded one manually.

And then, try to recover the error that is saying to be ntfs.sys.

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.

Free up the startup.

Click on the Start button

Select the “Startup” tab.
Deselect all items other than the antivirus.

Thank you for the help, but after having run memtest overnight, it turns out that my ram sticks have bad address ranges, 71680 error ranges to be exact, spread across all 4 ram sticks. I believe this to be the main cause of the blue screens and I am sending them in to be replaced as soon as I can. Again thank you for the help.

Unfortunately I haven't got it from the dumps. As the physical verification says that RAM is faulty, replace it, and let us know the results
