BSOD all the time 7a

catobsat · May 15, 2013

Hello

I have been having these random BSODs all the time, mostly the 7a error. It occurs randomly up to 10 times a day. I changed the HD and the errors stopped for a week but now it's really getting annoying again.
If anybody could help me find a soulution it would be greatly appreciated, thanks.

What is the model of your laptop or motherboard

catobsat · May 15, 2013

ASRock H55M-LE

Edit: Is this it?

If you are overclocking, stop it and use default setting in your BIOS.

catobsat · May 15, 2013

Didn't touch a setting in BIOS.

I loaded default settings in BIOS and restarted, win went to startup repair. It's now stuck on attemping repairs. Should i do a clean install?

VistaKing · May 15, 2013

If you're in a startup repair loop take a look at the tutorial below

catobsat · May 15, 2013

Completed the tutorial, twice, win goes to startup repair again.

If you have a w7 DVD or one on a USB stick you can try a http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/3413-repair-install.html#post31238

catobsat · May 15, 2013

Tried it and failed. Doing a clean install, will report back if the problem is fixed.

catobsat · May 17, 2013

So i've done a clean install, updated the drivers, etc.. Was working without a problem for almost 24 hours, then some few second freezes started, now the system doesn't even BSOD, it just hangs. Can't load startup repair. Any ideas what could be the problem?

Britton30 · May 17, 2013

Some hardware tests to run.

Graphics card test:
Video Card Stress Test with Furmark

Hard drive(s)test(s):

Pick one for your HDD brand or use Seatools.
7 Free Hard Drive Testing Software Tools

RAM (memory) test:

This will require memtest on a bootable CD or USB stick.
RAM - Test with Memtest86+

catobsat · May 20, 2013

Done the tests, everything seems to be ok, no errors found. No more bluescreens, hangs just as often as before.

Britton30 · May 20, 2013

Darn, I was expecting some HDD problems from your description of freezing. IT could be something you are installing causing it if there is no hardware problems.

This may help, run the steps outlined in this tutorial, Option Two, and reboot the system:
http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/1538-sfc-scannow-command-system-file-checker.html#post14392
If that doesn't correct the issue, run it two or more times with a reboot between.
You may get this result:

Code:

Windows Resource Protection found corrupt files and successfully repaired
them. Details are included in the CBS.Log windir\Logs\CBS\CBS.log. For
example C:\Windows\Logs\CBS\CBS.log
The system file repair changes will take effect after the next reboot.

Or a message that no integrity violations were found.
Or that Windows Resource Protection found errors it cannot repair, if so rerun the steps above.

Yeah, i thought that the HDD was failing so about 2 months ago i bought a new one (went from Seagate to WD). I was getting the 7a and f4 BSOD mostly before (kernel_data_inpage_error), now it's just the 7a. Was working fine for a while, maybe a week, then the BSODs started all over again, once a day or even up to 20 times. Doesn't matter what i'm running, either games, movies, browser, but it does seem to happen more often when running a game + firefox, so i switched to chrome.

I don't install that much software, usually steam, firefox, chrome, slimdriversfree, malwarebytes, ccleaner, avast, etc.. And try to keep everything updated.

Could it be because the system is hooked up to a Samsung LCD TV?

Done the scan, windows found no integrity violations.
