    Months of system being fine, sudden multiple BSODs this morning


    Howdy all! I was here in the past a while ago with getting semi-frequent BSODs on boot after the splash and login screen. The issue I found was a loose power connector. I snugged it in place, and then my system is fine for many months (maybe four or five). Now this morning, I had quite a few BSODs after the splash screen and logging onto my computer. I was finally able to get a successful boot after many attempts. I checked power connections, tried to make the connections secure, yet still got BSODs. Dump is attached. You guys are awesome. Thanks!

    Ok after looking through your crash dumps and after looking back at the last thread you started it seems that most of the dumps are the exat same error as last time you posted here:

    However one of your dumps cited a different program as the cause:

    Looking at the driver its self it is very old

    I would advise updating the driver either from your computer manufacturers website, or from this link to the Atheros website.

    Just updated driver, tried a restart and got myself one BSOD before a successful boot.

    I haven't updated anything recently, so I'm afraid if the codes are still the same from last time I had this problem, then my original problem is not fixed. Any thoughts??

    Looking at your dumps a second time I noticed a driver related to Daemon tools which has been known to cause BSODs Try following this tutorial you can skip part A of step 2 if you have already uninstalled the program:

    Drivers - clean leftover files after uninstalling


    Post back your results

    Well Im Looking at the list of drivers, and I can't pinpoint which one is used for Daemon. I know I tried using it as a virtual drive once, but that's it... I've attached a screenshot of the list I'm given once I open DriveSweeper.

    It looks like for what ever reason the driver is not showing up in driver sweeper but i also noticed that you don't seem to have the SPTD.sys installed which leads me to believe that it is not what is causing the problem. Instead i would like you to enable Driver Verifier.

    Diver Verifier - Enable and Disable

    If you can not boot into your PC once it is enabled try booting into safe mode and then disabling it then post back your new crash dumps once you get the blue screen.

    Edit:
    You may want to also try using this program, download it and run the executable if the uninstall button is greyed out and you can not click on it then the Daemon tools drivers have been successfully uninstalled. DO NOT click on this install button it will re-install the problematic drivers.

    Once you mentioned Daemon tools might be the cause, I uninstalled the program, so maybe that's why the driver's not showing up in the list?

    I have dome all the steps. Followed the directions in the link for Driver Verifier, and on restart could not even get to splash screen for logging in. Rebooted to Safe mode, and in Verifier selected Standard settings for all unsigned drivers. The only driver on that list: Vclone.sys, or VirtualClone CD Driver. Reboot with new settings was successful. attached is my dump from the BSOD.

    FROM EDIT: Ran the SPTD program, uninstall button was greyed out. I Do not have the driver I guess.

    BSOD as Pro Tools loads


    I realize I already have a thread here for a BSOD, but I just encountered another, completely unrelated one. Attached is the dump. Whenever I try loading Pro Tools, BSOD appears. I haven't been able to use this program for a while due to not having my pre-amp working. Just got it back from being repaired, so first time I am powering it up while connected to machine is causing it.

    Ok after looking over both of your new crash dumps the first set seem to be caused by diginet.sys:

    Code:
    *******************************************************************************

    which is part of the Avid technology pro programs, I would try first updating the driver from here if the Blue screen persists you may simply want to do a clean install of the program.

    Now the new set of BSODs that you are getting are being caused by Tpkd.sys:
    Code:
    *******************************************************************************
    *                                                                             *
    *                        Bugcheck Analysis                                    *
    *                                                                             *
    *******************************************************************************
    
    Use !analyze -v to get detailed debugging information.
