Hello all, I am new to the forums and have been looking high and low for a site like this. Lately i have been getting BSOD randomly, such as when I am playing Games to surfing the web. I just can't figure out what is causing them, i have tried reinstalling my ati drivers since this problem started to occur after the latest update but it doesn't work. I am clueless now : \

Did a reinstall of the OS a month or 2 ago.

It is difficult to diagnose fro a single crash log. If you have more upload them. Meanwhile on your system is one known cause of BSOD's.

Please remove any CD visualization programs such as Daemon Tools and Alcohol 120%.

They use a driver, found in your dmp, called sptd.sys, that is notorious for causing BSODs.

Use this SPTD uninstaller DuplexSecure - Downloads DuplexSecure - FAQ

when you're done you can use this Freeware MagicISO Virtual CD/DVD-ROM(MagicDisc) in its place.

How To Find Drivers:
- search Google for the name of the driver
- compare the Google results with what's installed on your system to figure out which device/program it belongs to
- visit the web site of the manufacturer of the hardware/program to get the latest drivers (DON'T use Windows Update or the Update driver function of Device Manager).
- if there are difficulties in locating them, post back with questions and someone will try and help you locate the appropriate program.
- - The most common drivers are listed on this page: Driver Reference Driver Reference
- - Driver manufacturer links are on this page: Drivers and Downloads

Thanks Zigzag for the reply, I did what you asked soon as ya posted your answer and thought it worked till yesterday where my computer just froze up but no black screen or bsod while surfing the web and only way that I could get out of it was a hard reset of the computer. it did it twice back to back before it continued along with no problem. Now today I finally got a BSOD listing something about the Pool Header.

You did remove sptd.sys but you didnt update the drivers listed. While I doubt those are the cause (especially the modem drivers) they cant be ruled out.

Since SP-1 is now installed lets run a system file check to verify (and repair) OS files to get a sense of what condition the software is in


Run a system file check to verify and repair your system files.
To do this type cmd in search, then right click to run as administrator, then
SFC /SCANNOW

Let us know the results from the report at the end.
