Windows 7: New Computer, BSOD in windows 7

Hi
I bought a new computer and started getting lots of bluescreens. I did a memtest and got lots of errors, so I sent back my ram. Today I got some new ram, and I still get bluescreens and memtest errors. I think the bluescreen I got was different from the ones I got last time though. I would really appreciate if anyone can have a look at the dump file for me, cause I'm not really that good with it myself.

My computer setup is:
Motherboard: ASUS pQ5 SE2, P45, Socket-775
Processor: Intel Core 2 Quad Q9550 2.83GHz, 1333MHz
Graphics card: XFX Geforce GTS 250 1GB Physx CUDA
RAM: Corsair TWIN2X PC6400C4DHX DDR2 4GB kit
w/2x 2GB XMS2-6400 dimm's CL4-4-4-12 800MHz, DHX

Only got one BSOD so far, simply for the reason that I don't really get them while at desktop, only when I'm playing games. Put the .dmp in a rar and attached it. Like I said, any help is greatly appreciated!

if anyone could please analyze the dump file for me, that would be great I've tried to do it myself, but failed cause I'm pretty new to this. If you need more info please tell me. I really appreciate it if someone could spare the time.

I took a quick look at it and afd.sys caused it. ita part of the tcpip stack. Hl2.exe (a steam file) was involved. the way it looks to me the game (hl2.exe) made a request to the server (tcpip) incorrectly corrpting the memory pool

things you can do: A couple of the drivers are fairly old. I would reinstalling the wifi/lan driver.

From the looks of it I wonder: are you overclocking? are you having a heat issue in CPU/GPU? check temps
I would also run a system file check to verify and fix system files. Its run by going to seach and typing cmd>right click run as admin>sfc scannow

DRIVER_CORRUPTED_EXPOOL (c5)
An attempt was made to access a pageable (or completely invalid) address at an
interrupt request level (IRQL) that is too high. This is
caused by drivers that have corrupted the system pool. Run the driver
verifier against any new (or suspect) drivers, and if that doesn't turn up
the culprit, then use gflags to enable special pool.
Arguments:
Arg1: fffff8807fcd3d18, memory referenced
Arg2: 0000000000000002, IRQL
Arg3: 0000000000000000, value 0 = read operation, 1 = write operation
Arg4: fffff80002a059bb, address which referenced memory

Thank you so much.

I will try to install some new drivers then.

No, I'm not overclocking, although I did try to set some different volt values in bios for my RAM before I sent the old RAM back in and got new ones. I set the values to what they recommended at the corsair forum.

Do you think maybe there could be something wrong with my components?

Again, thanks for the help

I would also run a memory test by downloading memtestx86 and running it overnight. if you keep having problems you might want to put the voltages back to default.

good luck

If you're getting memory errors from the memory test, then there's an issue with either the memory or the motherboard.

I have read of issues with the P5Q series of motherboards having voltage issues also - but that's way outside of my abilities.

Okidok. Thanks for the replies

did any of this work, by any chance? i'm having the same problem and i've done quite a few things to try and fix it, but nothing worked thus far. i tried updating the BIOS, installing chipset drivers off my board's site and reinstalling the network drivers (as you mentioned). my computer seems to be holding up at the moment, but i don't know how long it's gonna last. i'm also burning memorytest86 and i'm gonna run it overnight to make sure i don't have any memory issues. but in case any of that doesn't work, i was hoping that you might have another solution.

edit:
i noticed that it doesn't just happen when i'm playing Half-Life 2. it seems that Steam by itself will trigger it because there are times when i'll be away from my computer, come back and the system's restarted in my absence (i get the "Windows has recovered from an error" message, so it's not from auto updates or a bad power supply or anything). i looked it up and i have the latest version that has Windows 7 support and all that.

Hi


First lets asume you arent

Overclocking

Running A RAID

Have a "odd" device attached like a fingerprint reader, card reader, etc

You shoul run a system file checker to verify and repair system fileds

You do that by typing cmd in search>right click and run as admn> sfc /scannow

Let us know the results

You should also run a memory test like memtestx86 opreferable overnight

Ken

you guessed right. i'm not overclocking, RAIDing, have any odd hardware or anything like that. i also ran a checkdisk earlier which fixed my system from the previous bluescreens and i've defragged it too. i'll try that command prompt thing and i'll leave memtest86 going overnight. btw, that will work on a 64 bit system, right?
