Windows 7: BSOD at random times while using.

**x BlueRobot** · 02 Jan 2013

You have to look for any artifacts while the test is running, and you could always check the prices of a good PSU, and then compare the cost of the PSU to a another computer. You can always create an image of your hard-drive, and then use that to reinstall Windows with, allowing you to save all your data and the current configuration of your operating system. The problem seems to be related to hardware.

I have been using it for days without BSOD which is amazing news. I probably would not be getting a new PSU for now since the computer is running well already. I could not have known and fix the problems with my computer if it is not for u guys and this forum. Thank you guys.

For others that are referring to this thread because of the same problem, the main problem with my computer was that the graphics card is not thoroughly cleaned. I cleaned it multiple times with cloth and it never fixed the problem until i bought a canned air and only cleaned it once using the canned air, the BSOD never happened again.

Sorry to bother u guys again, the BSOD occurred again. This time is a little different. The computer was just turned on for 15 mins, and the BSOD occurred. I was gaming. In the past 2 days i have been gaming for like 5 hours straight and it was fine, but today i only played the game for less than 10 minutes and BSOD occurred.

I have uploaded the diagnostic tool report. Is it the same problem?

Cant believe it has only been less than a week......

Code:

BugCheck 1E, {ffffffffc0000005, fffff8800163a5c9, 0, 85562f8}

Probably caused by : memory_corruption

Code:

Usual causes:  Device driver, hardware, System service, compatibility, Remote control programs, memory, BIOS

Code:

CHKIMG_EXTENSION: !chkimg -lo 50 -d !Ntfs
    fffff8800163a420 - Ntfs!NtfsSnapshotScbInternal+20
	[ 48:58 ]
1 error : !Ntfs (fffff8800163a420)

It seems there may be an issue with the file system or one of the RAM modules.

Memory:

RAM - Test with Memtest86+

Run Memtest86+ for least 9-10 passes, and preferably overnight as it can take a while to fully complete.

Test each RAM stick individually, if an error is found then move the same RAM stick into the next DIMM slot and test again, if errors are found for the same RAM stick in every available slot then you have a faulty RAM module. On the other hand, if no errors are found in the next slot or the other slots for the same RAM module, then you have a faulty DIMM slot.

Test each RAM stick and every motherboard DIMM slot available.

Run some hard-drive diagnostics and follow these steps:

Hard Drive Diagnostic Procedure

Find your hard-drive manufacturer and run their tests.

Additional Tests:

Post a screenshot of Crystal Disk Info summary:

Screenshots and Files - Upload and Post in Seven Forums

Make sure you have the latest firmware for SSD, and ensure all the SATA and Power cables are connected to the drive.

Check for any file system errors and bad sectors using Option #2 of:

Disk Check

Use this command with Disk Check:

Code:

chkdsk C: /f /r
