Well it BSOD'd just now when I was writing an email. Running nothing in particular. I had a few crashes a couple weeks back when I tried to install AVG so I figured it was just the antivirus causing BSOD's like it had before. Now I just don't know again. Thanks for the continued help here Arc.

Some Ntfs corruptions are noticed ... but not showing any details.

Use driver verifier for one more time?

Arc,

Ok, I've been running driver verifier for the last day and I haven't had a single BSOD. Not sure what to make of it really. I suppose there's nothing else I can do, right? Thanks for your continued help!

I have done a clean install before. Would doing it again really gain anything? It BSOD'd again when I got home, maybe this batch will help explain. Thanks, Arc.

It is a stop 0x3B BSOD, which is sticky type of nature. Caused by drivers mainly, and as the BSOD is not showing any particular reason, I am suggesting you to go for a clean reinstall. If not, enable Driver Verifier to monitor the drivers and expect that it may show any cause of the BSODs. .
Driver Verifier - Enable and Disable
Run Driver Verifier for 24 hours or the occurrence of the next crash, whichever is earlier.

   Information
Why Driver Verifier:
It puts a stress on the drivers, ans so it makes the unstable drivers crash. Hopefully the driver that crashes is recorded in the memory dump.

How Can we know that DV is enabled:
It will make the system bit of slow, laggy.

   Warning
Before enabling DV, make it sure that you have earlier System restore points made in your computer. You can check it easily by using CCleaner looking at Tools > System Restore.

If there is no points, make a System Restore Point manually before enabling DV.

   Tip


Let us know the results, with the subsequent crash dumps, if any. Post it following the Blue Screen of Death (BSOD) Posting Instructions.

Arc,

It's been quite some time since I've posted on this thread. Thanks again for all your previous work.

Unfortunately the BSOD's have returned. It used to be that they would only occur about once or twice a month and I just sort of dealt with it. It wasn't 100% perfect, but it was much, much better after working with you and following all your suggestions and steps.

As of the last few months they've become much more frequent, to the point now that I'm reaching out for help again. It's gotten to where it happens almost daily again. I just don't know what's wrong with this build. Attached is the .zip with all info. Thanks for all your help again and hopefully we can get this cleared up once and for all. Cheers

Arc,

I did a re-install of Windows when we were troubleshooting this a bit back. It didn't solve the problem then, but If you think that it's worth doing it again, I'll do it. I just hate going through that process. :}

In the mean time, I've been running driver verifier for the last 3 hours or so and I haven't had a BSOD yet. I followed all directions on how to turn it on, but sometimes I feel like I'm missing something because it doesn't seem like it's running in the background. Computer isn't sluggish or anything really. Is there any way to verify that I have it going on in the background after it prompts for the user to restart?

Thanks for the quick reply and patience with me not reading your previous post regarding reinstall/vierfier. Cheers!

Just got a BSOD after running Driver Verifier for around 9 hours. Here's the .zip. Should I keep running verifier to try to get more? Thanks

Arc,

I went ahead and follow instructions on last post. I don't have sound anymore (My setup goes from the nvidia card via HDMI to a 5.1 stereo receiver then to my television), not sure if the HD sound driver I uninstalled had anything to do with that. In any case, here's the latest BSOD dump after following all instructions. Thanks for your continued help, Cheers!

BugCheck 24 is NTFS file system error, and it blames memory.
Uninstall uTorrent and see if it causes any more BSODs or not. Also scan the system for possible virus infection with the following programs, for a safety reason.

Arc,

Because I'm going through my stereo system via the NVIDIA card (it has a mini HDMI out), I have to use that HD-Audio driver. I can't really use the on board sound driver if I'm sending it to my TV. I do a fair amount of gaming. Unless you know a way around it somehow.

In any event, I un-installed uTorrent, and did the rootkit detectors and they didn't find anything. After uninstalling uTorrent I still had BSOD's so I re-installed, figuring it isn't the problem. Here are the latest dump files. Thanks for your eternal support on this issue, You're probably tired of hearing from me by now, lol. I really appreciate it. Cheers!

No mate. I am not tired, but worried.

The bugcheck codes and the probable causes are varying widely, over a long time. And no steps as per the data ends in a goal.

It is possible in the cases are ......
Faulty RAM.
Faulty Processor
Inefficient or fluctuating power supply.
Failing overclocking.
Bad motherboard.

I think you have taken the tests already, but if possible, do those once again.

Test your RAM modules for possible errors.
How to Test and Diagnose RAM Issues with Memtest86+
Run memtest for at least 8 passes, preferably overnight.

If it start showing errors/red lines, stop testing. A single error is enough to determine that something is going bad there.

Stress test the CPU.
Hardware - Stress Test With Prime95

Set all the hardware clocks to default.

Apply a known good PSU on a test basis.

If all are good, you may need to change the board. As we cannot test the board, we cannot blame it.

Dell Studio 15" Laptop
Arc,

Thanks for keeping up with me. I know I've done the RAM tests quite a bit and nothing came of them in the past. Same with the CPU. I'll run both tests over the next week or so and see if anything comes of them. The power supply should be fine as I originally started with a bad PSU and ended up replacing it. I'll keep doing all your recommendations and let you know if I hit on anything.

I worry that I probably won't hit on anything and it might be a bad CPU or mobo. :\ In any event, I can't thank you enough for all the help. Hats off to you, you really need a donation system here or some way to show appreciation! Lol. Take it easy and thanks again.

Arc, or anyone else,

Thanks right off the bat for the help, Arc. Sadly, over the past three years since this issue cropped up, it has continued. Every month the computer would BSOD almost 10 times in a row, typically for about one or two days. It just randomly BSOD'd for a few days. Then it'd be fine. I could write, play games, whatever. A month later the same thing. I figured this was acceptable enough and I just put up with it.

Now, about three years later, this computer started crashing for entire days. 20 BSOD's one after another for a full day. Then again the next day. It didnt BSOD in safemode (same as before) and I tried using restore points. Today it crashed from 8 AM - 5 PM or so. No idea why. This is the most stable it's been right now (running for an hour plus) I've tried to restore back to when it was only crashing once a month, but those dates aren't there. I really want to know what's wrong with this, as I'm losing a full day in work. Do you really this is the mobo? I've run all the old tests btw, memory, cpu, hard drive, etc.

Thanks again for the help, sevenforums are really the best.
