Random BSODs

hi xbluerobot, these are the logs from tdss. Nothing was found, neither did windows defender.

Hi xbluerobot, I was having no issues thus far with my com, but when I decided to go and test out playing wow again (which was what initial caused the BSOD), having updated my nvidia driver to 306.97 which was said to be the most stable, and installed a few addons for the game, it BSODed twice=( below is the sf file...

What could be the problem now? Is it still the nvidia drivers?

Code:

BugCheck 3B, {c0000005, fffff80002f1c255, fffff88006146ca0, 0}

Probably caused by : memory_corruption ( nt!MiGetTopLevelPfn+65 )

Code:

Usual causes:  System service, Device driver, graphics driver, memory

memory_corruption doesn't necessary mean that a RAM module is faulty, it can also point to a object which corrupted the RAM at the time of the crash, for instance a corrupted driver or program. Paging files and the CPU caches can also be causes.

Code:

2: kd> !error c0000005
Error code: (NTSTATUS) 0xc0000005 (3221225477) - The instruction at 0x%08lx referenced memory at 0x%08lx. The memory could not be %s.

There appears to be more memory access violations occurring too.

Code:

2: kd> lmvm nvlddmkm
start             end                 module name
fffff880`0fe32000 fffff880`10b26000   nvlddmkm T (no symbols)

If you have an SSD, make sure the following are up to date:

• SSD firmware
• BIOS Version
• Chipset Drivers
• Hard disk controller drivers/SATA drivers
• If you have a Marvell IDE ATA/ATAPI device, make sure the drivers are up to date from the Intel site or Marvell site and not from your motherboard/vendor support site.

Check for any file system errors and bad sectors using Option #2 of:

• Disk Check

Use this command with Disk Check:

Code:

chkdsk C: /f /r

Hi xbluerobot! sorry was away on a holiday. Here's my crystaldiskinfo screenshot!

Since you have an SSD, then make sure you follow the steps within the quotation box also.
