Windows 7: various BSODs mainly when doing video work

attached is the screenshot from GPU-Z

is this

version of the bios the correct one?

Vpaor-X_HD5770_1G_VBIOS_update_SOP shows you how the video card Bios flashing is done.

Vapor-X_HD5770_VBIOS_update is the actual bios update.

Prior to doing it look at

ONLY for SKU#11163-00 , P/N:288-7D132-000SA

Check if same SKU and P/N on the Graphics card ... before flashing.

ok, will look for it tonight

There is no new Bios: my card has SKU 11163-05 PN 288-1E148-202SA.

The driver has been installed (Catalyst 12.10)

I will test for BSODs.

Alright I will wait for your feedback

3 new crashes

- 2x using the Canon DPP tool; the 2nd time with crash dump
- 1x using Avidemux

Diagnostic file attached

hmm

Could you disable the devolo service ....One of your BSOD is caused due to this.. I presume this is part of the Dlan extender.

Once disabled let me know of any BSOD.. so we can move on to the next step

ok, I will give it a try.

However, please note that the pc is connected via a modemrouter to dsl. Devolo is only the admin software and was added just 2 weeks ago, i.e. Months after the BSODs started. Hence, any other suggestions would be appreciated.

I am wondering whether this rather anhardware or a software issue. The only similarity between the BSODs seems to be that at least one process is running and I have constant read/write access to the (windows) ssd and the (data) harddisk. The video is not running e.g. as preview - the crashes occur when transcoding. Could this point to a issue with the drives\ setup of the drives / motherboard? As mentioned before this issue might have started when I installed the SSD.

The BSOD all point to a memory related error... which means that BSOD are happening when read memory (this could be you local pagefile (hdd) or L1,L2,L3 cache of the the processor, or the RAM itself...

Since you have told me that you have done memtest for a 8 passes.. RAM is out of the equation... Since there are no Bugcheck 0x124 error processor are out of the loop... which then leaves the HDD.. for which I asked you post the SMART value... which again turned to be fine...

So....here is something you can do

1. Do sfc /scannow to check for error in Windows

2. Do a stress test on the hardware using Prime95

3. Do a stess test on the CPU using IntelBurnTest

Let me know your feedback once you do this...

Do all these after you make sure that devolo service is not the issue

Deinstalled Devolo software, restarted and got 1x hanging PC and 1x bluescreen.

Prime95 Small FFT: PC did hang 2 times and third time it worked for 3 hours. All threads worked. Only the 4th one was a bit behind compared to the other ones...

IntelBurnTest: I did the high and very high test. Settings: 5 TImes, Threads: all. The tests were passed. High peaked at 57 degrees celsius and very high at 59.4 degrees. With a max amount for the processor of 62 degrees I skippe the maximum test...

Afterwards I had 2 additional crashes (1x Avidemux, 1x Canon DPP).

I have attached a new diagnostics file.
