    BSOD frequently occurring after Windows update, WIN7_DRIVER_FAULT


    Hello,

    I had been having bsod issues for awhile last year and had gotten help on here and the problem had gone away. Before this recent string of bsods I had only had one in April and none for several months before that. I had a Windows update on the 3rd and didn't notice anything different, but beginning yesterday I began having a slew of bsods. They happened both in high graphic games, browsing the internet, and even just when sitting there. This last one happened when windows was just starting up, I think. I used DriverMax to update all of my drivers, and I even tried doing a restore point from before the update on the 3rd and that seemed to lower the frequency, but then I started getting them again. Any help is much appreciated. I'm attaching the mini dump and the requested zip file.

    If you think that your earlier issue was solved, mark BSOD's keep happening during D3 and other games as solved and continue here.

    Uninstall Virtual Clone Drive.
    Code:
    PNP Device ID    ROOT\SCSIADAPTER\0000
    Such a thing may cause this type of BSOD.

    Free up the startup. Windows does not need any other program to auto start with it, but the auto start programs often conflicts and causes various problems including BSODs.

    1. Click on the Start button
    2. Type “msconfig (without quotes), click the resulting link. It will open the System Configuration window.
    3. Select the “Startup” tab.
    4. Deselect all items other than the antivirus and the touchpad driver, SynTPEnh
    5. Apply > OK
    6. Accept then restart.

    Your crash dumps are not showing any finite probable cause.

    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 memtest comes to be free from errors, enable Driver Verifier to monitor the drivers.
    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.

    An attempt was made to access a pageable (or completely invalid) address at an

    caused by drivers using improper addresses.

    Okay, I uninstalled VCD and I removed the start ups as well. Just had another crash. Here is the minidump and .zip. I will run memtest, but am wanting to wait until tonight, if possible.

    Okay, I will do that now. Any idea why I can no longer access sevenforums from my computer?
    I am using my phone for it now, which is kind of a pain.

    Okay I ran it and when I restarted it went right to a blue screen. It's now repairing and doing a system restore. I will post the dump and .zip
    When I can get back on it.

    Because I can't access your website from my computer anymore for some reason, I'm trying to attach the dump from my phone, but it doesn't seem to be working. Please let me know how to regain access to your site on my pc and I will attach the .dmp. thanks

    Fixed. It was daemon tools causing the bsod. No blue screens since I uninstalled it. Thanks for the help, driver verifier helped me pinpoint it.
