Random Crashes
Hi Everyone,
I am getting random crashes when using my windows 7 machine. I attained 7 by upgrading from vista home premium 64-bit. Never had any crashes or problems on that setup. I have got 7 now for a few weeks and lately it has been crashing at random.
I am not sure if it started when I got windows 7 or later. The following happens: My screen turns black and has a blue box in the middle saying : "OUT OF RANGE!" (this I suppose is related to either frequentie or resolution) but I found out that a few seconds later my music would repeat the same second or so over and over.
I have been looking through eventviewer and noticed an error occuring now and then. related to a atksgt.sys that was being blocked. I looked it up and it had something to do with either deamon tools or atari game copy protection. I uninstalled deamon tools which had no succes. After that I unstalled all atari games with again no succes. Finally I deleted atksgt.sys resulting in errors that it cannot by found (in eventviewer).
But the crash still occured. And after another look in eventviewer I noticed the timing of the atksgt.sys errors were not in sync with the crashes. I did find a warning with source winit telling me to check avgrssta.dll which I suspect is related to AVG anti-virus which I have running. which should explain the randomness of the crashes since it runs at all times.
At this moment I have no clue whatsoever what to do. I'm adding a minidump to this post and if you have any further questions please ask. Ow and my specs are on my profile (with the screen).
With regard,
S. van den Bergh
