    HAL.dll BSOD


    Hello everyone,

    Having a few wee issues with a fresh install of Windows. It's infrequently (every 3 or 4 days) BSODing with fairly unhelpful machine check error. I was wondering if anyone had any ideas. I've attached the BSOD dump files.


    Things it is NOT:

    Bad RAM. Memcheck ran for 8 hours, no issues.

    I'm pretty much open to all other suggestions!
    Thanks in advance

    You are overclocking.
    Code:
    CPUID:        "Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-3570K CPU @ 3.40GHz"
    MaxSpeed:     3400
    CurrentSpeed: 3467
    As you are getting BSODs, you should stop overclocking and run all the hardware components like CPU, GPU and RAM to their default settings. Also set the BIOS to default, too.

    Test your RAM modules for possible errors.

    Run memtest for at least 8 passes, preferably overnight.

    Stress test the Graphics Card using Furmark.

    Stress test the CPU.

    Check if the Power Supply Unit (PSU) supplying adequate power to the computer or not.

    At least 30% extra is safe. Also what is the wattage of the PSU?

    Is the computer hot? Report us the heat of the computer after a couple of hours of your normal usage. Upload a screenshot of the summery tab of Speccy.

    RAM has been checked as I already stated, no errors.

    I haven't overclocked my CPU or GPU. It's 67Mhz high, that's just stock drift.

    After 1 hour of Battlefield 3 running on high, my GPU peaks at 45 degrees Celsius. CPU idles at 33, GPU at 34

    Power supply is 750W

    SSD firmware is up to date

    I ran verifier.exe and it picked up on a driver issue with SAIH0762.sys, which has to do with my Stick and throttle controllers. I updated the drivers for it.

    Clone drive was only installed today actually, so it's not causing the issue.

    The CPU may be factory overclocked, but bring it back to default. Same for the GPU.

    Stress test the Graphics Card using Furmark.
    Video Card - Stress Test with Furmark
    Post a screenshot of the furmark window before closing the program.

    Is the computer hot? Report us the heat of the computer after a couple of hours of your normal usage. Upload a screenshot of the summery tab of Speccy. We need the screenshot to see.

    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 the logitech gaming devices are not in use, does it provide a BSOD? Observe and let us know.

    Hope you will take all the suggestions and post us the feedback accordingly.

    That's great, thanks. I've updated the drivers as suggested.

    The logitech gaming device is my mouse... so it's pretty much always in use!

    Updated all the drivers within 3 minutes? Even cool.

    If possible, try another alternative mouse.

    Well the driver update messed my system up pretty bad. My joystick didn't agree with it and long story short I had to reinstall Windows. Getting a few bluescreens still, might be the same old problems. I've uploaded the latest crash dump files. I ran verifier.exe to see if that picked up anything, and it crashed on boot with hidclass.sys
