Dell 1764 random BSODs (ntkrnpamp.exe, crcdisk.sys)
Hi,
I have a Dell 1764 which I bought on ebay, it came with Win 7 Ultimate 32-Bit, and was experiencing occasional crashes, so I thought that maybe it needed a 64-Bit version of Win 7 as that is what the laptop originally come installed with. So I installed Win 7 Home Premium 64-Bit but after a while started to get BSODs or just sometimes a restart without the BSOD.
I have ran CHKDISK as well as the HDD test off Hirens Boot CD but no errors were found.
I have ran MemTest86+ for approx 11 hours (14 passes) but no memory errors were found either.
Yesterday I wiped and installed Vista Home Premium to see if it made any difference, which it did seem to for about 6 hours, but then the crashes started again. I am guessing the crashes may be linked to a Windows Update which was received but to give an idea, I've not received the SP1 update yet so its still early days in the update process.
Last night the crashes were coming thick and fast, sometimes barely getting far into boot (approx 5-10 seconds) before a BSOD would occur. I ran driver verifier on all the drivers that are not provided by microsoft and have attached the zipped dumpfiles. I'm presuming these are the correct ones as I'm not sure if the verifier dumps go to somewhere different to C:Windows\minidumps\
So last night I gave up and left it powered off over night, and this morning I started it up and it seems Ok. Not had a restart yet or BSOD and its been running for about 45 minutes. It does seem that the crashes happen after a period of the laptop being on for a while.
Anyway, I won't write anymore as I'm not sure what to write,so I'll wait for you guys if thats ok. I've seen some really supportive posts on here from you guys so really hoping you can help.
Thanks in advance
Gav
