Windows 7: x64 BSOD after "sleep"

Sven · 11 May 2009

First I used Windows 7 x86 RC1, and no problems with sleeps. Just moved on to Windows 7 RC1 x64, and sometime after "sleep" it shows the desktop very briefly, then BSOD. Not the same STOP code every time, but the error-name allmost everytime has the word KERNAL in it.
As the STOP-code changes, how do I track this error? (I totally newbie to x64 OS)

Have you checked the event viewer for any errors? Can you upload the minidump files anywhere so someone can have a look at them? Are you using native Win 7 drivers?

Where do I find this minidump file?
Yes all drivers are for Windows 7, but I have installed Daemon tools, Rivatuner (as monitoring and fan-profile, as it can't OC because of Windows 7 drivernatur) along with Kaspersky 8.0.0.181 beta (should be compatible with Windows 7 recording to Kaspersky)

Minidumps are created in C:\Windows\minidump.

Also, since this is sleep related, try updating your video drivers through Windows Update or from the video chipset manufacturer's website (ATI, nVidia, Intel, etc).

I have tried all day to re-create the error, but every time I'm wakening the PC it works. I'll be back if/when the error reoccur

I agree here. I put Windows 7 RC on a Dell Latitude D830 laptop. It would constantly crash when it came out of sleep mode. I would also see corrupted display with Aero. I went into the Device Manager and forced it to search for updated drivers for the 965GM chipset and it installed them. No more BSODs and display is perfect.

there is a recent 965 driver, and it may help others

Now I have a minidump file from a BSOD after waking up from "sleep mode", but I don't know where to upload it. Any ideas?
