Multiple BSOD after startup. Occurs after several clean installs

TonyAP09123 · 04 Feb 2013

For awhile now I have been having BSOD which generally take place after the computer has been shutdown for awhile. System will crash several times, almost always more than once. Sometimes the screen will display the BSOD error, other times the screen completely locks up or looks scrambled?

When clean installing I use dban to wipe the drive and then install drivers based on Dell/Alienware recommendations. However, I really don't know what I'm doing so I could have done it wrong on some or all occasions.

I generally clean install because I think I have some sort of malware. Hopefully that's not the case. Appreciate any help.

Hi Tony,

Sorry but your minidump files arent in your zip.
Firstly can you reconfigure windows to collect the correct info

You want "Mini-Dumps"

Dump Files - Configure Windows to Create on BSOD

Also here are the instructions for posting:

Sorry still no .dmp file attached :) sorry no CIGAR for you

Run it again, but just click GrabAll and wait for each window to open and click off,
also make sure your computer is set to collect minidump files as per tutorials.

Alternatively you could also look at:

C:\ windows\minidump and see if there are .dmp files there, zip and post.

Cheers

Ah, I ran CCleaner today which was set to clear memory dumps. The minidump folder was empty :/

Should I just wait for the next BSOD and post the logs then?

Hi Tony,

Usual cause: An attempt was made to touch pageable memory at a process internal request level (IRQL) that was too high. This is usually caused by drivers using improper addresses. Kernel-mode drivers are forbidden to access pageable memory at a high IRQL

Install Microsoft Security Essentials.
