BSOD happening all the time - what to do?

Hi,

I have upgraded my PC system. I was very happy with everything until after a shutdown I've started receiving blue screens.

Possible reasons:
1. I don't know how much power I will need with my system. My current power supplier is a Redmax, 500W, model name: FSP500-80GHN

2. One of dumbest thing I did was that I updated my BIOS right after installing Windows 7. The current BIOS version is F3. Why updating your BIOS when it's functioning well? Stupid!

Everytime I install a fresh version of Windows 7, it works until I shut down and turn on the system again. I went to my earlier version of Windows, which is Windows XP, after seeing my desktop, it all went blue as well.

Please check the attached file. This is from Windows 7.


Many thanks in advance.

Please go to Start and type in "msinfo32.exe" (without the quotes) and press Enter
Save the report as an .nfo file, then zip up the .nfo file and upload/attach the .zip file with your next post.

If you're having difficulties with the format, please open an elevated (Run as administrator) Command Prompt and type "msinfo32 /nfo C:\Users\Public\Desktop\TEST.NFO" (without the quotes) and press Enter. Then navigate to the C:\Users\Public\Desktop directory to retrieve the TEST.NFO file. If you have difficulties with making this work, please post back.

Please update your Creative Audio drivers as the one's installed are from 2008.

Dear John,

Thank you very much for your swift reply.

I will sure download the latest drivers for my audio controller. About the security chipset, it's a builtin chipset on the motherboard. Please refer to TPM in Gigabyte's GA-P55-UD3L-TPM motherboard. In BIOS settings there's an option to switch it on or off. Further setup needs to be made in Windows, which I'm not started doing yet.

I have attached the file, as you desired.

Thank you very much for your attention. You're of very good help, and I'm grateful for that.


Best,
Amin

Another Dear John letter! Why does it always happen to me! (Just kidding! :)

Please disable the Trusted Module on the motherboard and, hopefully, it'll stop the errors related to it. TPM.sys is a Windows module that communicates with the TPM module on your motherboard.

These devices are disabled, did you do this deliberately?

Haha! I personally prefer people calling my name. Anyway, I deduce that names are the least important things in a forum. Maybe I can call you superman then, because saving my computer from bluescreens is like being saved from falling off a skyscraper in a way!

That was too much of my imagination!

First of all, yes, I have disable those two devices deliberately because I don't need them, and I think why do I need to install 120MB of audio driver when I won't use it? The LAN device was also of no use for me. I'm using a USB modem.

So, if the problem is with my TPM device, do you recommend to take the motherboard to the vendor and ask for a new one? I was hopefully gonna use it soon after a complete backup.

This crash was probably caused by tcm.sys. that is a lenovo module, You need to download a fresh copy and install it. I suspect it would be included in a BIOS upgrade

UNEXPECTED_KERNEL_MODE_TRAP (7f)
This means a trap occurred in kernel mode, and it's a trap of a kind
that the kernel isn't allowed to have/catch (bound trap) or that
is always instant death (double fault).  The first number in the
bugcheck params is the number of the trap (8 = double fault, etc)
Consult an Intel x86 family manual to learn more about what these
traps are. Here is a *portion* of those codes:
If kv shows a taskGate
        use .tss on the part before the colon, then kv.
Else if kv shows a trapframe
        use .trap on that value
Else
        .trap on the appropriate frame will show where the trap was taken
        (on x86, this will be the ebp that goes with the procedure KiTrap)
Endif
kb will then show the corrected stack.

Ken,

I think you mean TPM, which is what John mentioned before. This is a 2048 encryption key module onboard security device.

I'm going to contact Gigabyte support to see what they suggest.

Thank you.
