BSODs in Win7 64-bit; mainly SYSTEM_SERVICE_EXCEPTION (3b)
Just moved... and starting getting lots of BSODs. (Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit, custom build)
Have done the following:
- Reseated RAM, cards & connectors to motherboard
- Ran memtest overnight ===> 7 passes without error
- Ran "chkdsk" on all partitions ===> no errors found
- Ran "sfc /VERIFYONLY" ===> "did not find any integrity violations"
- Pulled 1 stick of RAM and then switched with the other ===> getting BSODs with either stick
- Scanned machine with Malwarebytes AntiMalware 2 ===> no detections
- Started running Driver Verifier:Special Pool, Pool Tracking, Force IRQL checking, Deadlock Detection, Security Checks, Miscellaneous Checks & ALL boxes where "Microsoft" IS NOT the Provider
-----> Upon Reboot, immediate Verifier BSOD on Zemana Antilogger ===> removed Antilogger from startup & unchecked it in Verifier- Reset BIOS to default Asus "Optimized" values ===> diminished BSOD frequency
- Visually inspected motherboard for swollen capacitors ===> none noticed
- Replaced old Corsair TX-650W PSU with Seasonic G-650W PSU ===> still getting BSODs
- Ran SFDiagnostic Tool ===> folder not created on desktop but on another drive;
--> checked registry value for Current_User Desktop ===> correct: %USERPROFILE%\Desktop
--> in command prompt: "cd \%USERPROFILE%\Desktop" ===> correct: user's Desktop (on C: drive)
Notes:
- Driver Verifier is still running ===> no Verifier BSODs except for mentioned ones with Antilogger.
- Most of the time, the BSOD occurs in a Sandboxie session: watching Netflix in sandboxed Firefox (because that's what I've been doing most of the time.)
- Last summer, experienced some BSODs which seemed to go away after uninstalling Asus AI Suite 2 and upgrading nvidia driver.
Unsure what to try next. Short of replacing hardware, considering a fresh install of Windows
