    Unknown BSOD causes laptop to freeze, sometimes horizontal BSOD


    Hi everyone,
    I recently got a laptop a few months ago, and now I receive BSOD all of a sudden. I haven't really had enough time to try to fix it because of my schooling. But with a couple of my classes ending, I have some time on my hands.
    Here's what I've done:
    1. Scanned the computer with latest version of microsoft security essentials
    2. Updated Windows7 with latest patches and updates.
    3. I have updated my realtek drivers, and GPU drivers.
    4. I have used elevated command prompt to use ChkDsk \R
    5. I have also used elevated command prompt Scannow
    6. I made it so that windows creates kernel dump files whenever it crashes, and to restart. But I'm not getting anything recent, the last dump file was created a few months ago. Though I've gotten a whole lot of BSOD's and crashes since then.

    I looked in the Event viewer and I have had multiple critical errors all indicating Kernel-Power.

    I'm usually listening to music when it crashes, and it makes that weird buzzing sound whenever it crashes and the screen freezes sometimes. Sometimes if the screen doesn't freeze, It will have a horizontal BSOD, where it looks like it's all broken up. I have to restart the laptop in order to get out of it.
    I have uploaded the SF debugger .zip file that contains all of my laptop information. I need to let you know, that the dump files are from a couple months ago and do not represent what I am facing now. I followed the guide to have windows to create dump files, but since it's not even restarting (which is how I'll know if it creates a dump files), it doesn't work.

    I'm kind of frustrated that this is happening, considering the amount of money I put into this laptop, which is nearly 3k, though I'm hoping through this forum I can get this solved.
    Thank you very much for all of your support. I really appreciate it!

    -Samuel

    p.s. As of this post, I won't be able to get back on here until later tonight EST.

    Hi,
    I ran the driver verifier, and to my recollection, it's still running. But when I restarted the computer, a blue screen came up, but it was frozen and didn't restart. When I turned off my laptop manually, start up repair came up. I ran it, and said I had to restore it, but it said it couldn't restore. So I shut it off and started it up back again.
    I checked to see if the BSOD created a dump file, and it didn't, but I did take a picture of it in the attached files.

    thank you for the help, let me know if I need to disable the driver verifier.

    This is very strange that its not collecting DMP Files. do you have windows configured to do so.

    Please could you Double check that these are your settings:

    Please double check your settings here :
    Control Panel - System - on left side Advanced System Settings - Advanced tab -

    Startup and Recovery - Settings - System Failure - check the box to Write an Event to System Log

    uncheck Auto Restart

    make sure the Write Debugging is set to small minidump

    and the default folder should look like %SystemRoot%\Minidump.

    ok, I changed it to mini dumps, and unchecked the automatic restarts.
    If another BSOD happens, I'll let keep you posted.

    I'm not sure why Driver Verifier was requested. There are enough drivers flagged in the dumps.

    Nvidia Filter driver
    Code:

    nVidia graphics driver

    I would check with the laptop vendor if there are any substitute drivers for the ones you have installed, your dual graphics is obviously causing an issue.

    Are you running a RAID setup?

    I installed the recent windows updates, but when I went to restart the computer, I had multiple blue screens, which still didn't create any dump files. You can see them in the pictures.

    As for the GPU drivers, I thought I had them all updated? Do I need to download an update, or what should my next step be? I ordered the custom laptop on the Cyberpowerpc, so I would hope they are reputable enough to help me with this. What exactly would I tell them about the drivers?

    thank you for your help!
