    BSOD


    Hi guys.

    I'm new to the forum but I wanted to post to say I am getting very similar (or what I think is similar) BSoD as the OP.

    I also too have only recently built this system about 4 months ago so is a relatively new build.

    I get main MEMORY_MANAGEMENT blues and BAD_POOL_HEADER. However I do get quite a few others. Looking at the dumps from an uneducated PoV, I seem the memory management ones are all for rdyboost.sys.

    Not sure if this means much.
    I have done 3 fresh installs on a 1TB drive and have removed all non essential hardware and still getting the problems.

    I have done the Windows memory checker with no faults and I did MemTest86 for 7 passes with no errors. Corsair have said they won't point the finger at my RAM but will replace it if I want.
    I would rather avoid that if I can as that will take a couple of weeks for them to process.

    I have attached the dumps, be ready though - there is alot of them, also there are a few in there dated June. I reset the BIOS and forgot to change date before I did a Windows reinstall.

    Sorry to hijack your thread aswell by the way buddy!

    Berlioze, welcome to the forums. Please start a new thread in this section and upload your BSOD's and we wil be glad to help you. It get's really confusing to try to work two different issues in one thread.

    EDited to add: I asked the moderators to take your post and start a new thread for you.

    All of your dump files but one are Driver Verifier enabled dumps. Unfortunately only one of the Driver Verifier dumps points to a particular driver. The rest blame Microsoft system drivers which is very unlikely. Most of the Driver Verifier enabled dumps blame pool corruption and memory corruption. Please turn Driver Verifier off at this time.

    The one dump that is not a Driver Verifier dump shows a stop error code of 7E.
    STOP 0x0000007E: SYSTEM_THREAD_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED

    SYSTEM_THREAD_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED_M (1000007e)
    This is a very common bugcheck.  Usually the exception address pinpoints
    the driver/function that caused the problem.  Always note this address
    as well as the link date of the driver/image that contains this address.
    Some common problems are exception code 0x80000003.  This means a hard
    coded breakpoint or assertion was hit, but this system was booted
    /NODEBUG.  This is not supposed to happen as developers should never have
    hardcoded breakpoints in retail code, but ...
    If this happens, make sure a debugger gets connected, and the
    system is booted /DEBUG.  This will let us see why this breakpoint is
    happening.
    Arguments:
    Arg1: ffffffffc0000005, The exception code that was not handled
    Arg2: fffff88001050090, The address that the exception occurred at
    Arg3: fffff8800437b8d8, Exception Record Address

    This dump blames rdyboost.sys Which is a Microsoft driver. How ever, if you do not use ReadyBoost, you can turn it off. For more information, read this thread:

    https://www.sevenforums.com/crashes-d...uring-use.html

    I find two out of date drivers on your system. I recommend updating these. Update them form than manufacturers' websites rather than using Windows Update or Device manager.

    000.fcl Fri Sep 26 09:11:22 2008 - FCL Driver or Power Control [2009/08/05 18:02:32] or Power Control [2009/05/16 07:18:01] or Power Control [2009/05/11 22:49:34] belongs to the software {22D78859-9CE9-4b77-BF18-AC83E81A9263} or CyberLink FCL Driver or My Book Device Driver or PowerDVD Ultra or CyberLink PowerDVD or OpenOffice.org by Cyberlink Corp (www.gocyberlink.com). Update this driver or the software it is associated with.

    Rt64win7.sys Thu Feb 26 04:04:13 2009 - Realtek 8101E/8168/8169 NDIS 6.20 64-bit Driver Realtek

    Disable Driver Verifier, reboot, update these two drivers, reboot and run your system. Then let's see where you are. Post any new BSOD's and we will have a look.

    If you need assistance, please post.

    What antivirus and firewall are you using?

    Hey Carl,

    Thanks for looking into this with me, really appreciate it.
    WHat is interesting is that all of those dumps I posted should be driver verifier disabled as I only just enabled it last night. When I enabled it, I was unable to even get into Windows as I kept getting a ndis.sys stop screen.
    When going into safe mode, that gave me a stop screen aswell.

    What I can also say is that I decided to try a different Windows OS to see what happens and I installed an old copy of XP Home SP2 that I have and that is working fine with no BSoD as of yet.

    Just also to clarify on the 7E stop screen, where you have your usual causes, I know it's not insufficient disk space as I have over a terabyte of free space spread over 3 drives. I know it can't be the video card as I removed this physically and used the onboard and still got a blue screen. I have done enough memory checks to be happy that they are not the suspect, and really the system services should be fine as I did 3 fully clean installs.

    What does interest me is you saying that there was a Realtek driver out of date, now that wouldn't be the ndis.sys would it, but I'm sure they would be related. I also assume that the driver would be for an ethernet connection and not a wireless connect. I don't use ethernet and the driver was automatically obtained by Windows.

    Lastly, just so you know, I don't use any anti-virus on firewall.
    Defender keeps in check spyware and such and I know what sites I go onto.

    ndis.sys is a Windows networking driver, but the Realtek one is the driver for the network adapter. Be sure to update that one, even if you don't use it.

    Windows Defender is not adequate protection. Be sure to install Microsoft Security Essentials: http://www.microsoft.com/security_essentials

    Well, as I said XP is working fine so I confident it is a software problem rather than hardware which makes me feel a bit better!

    I will reinstall 7 now, see how I get along and will let you guys know after I jave vetted all the drivers and made sure each 1 is up to date.

    Also Jonathan, I didn't realise there was something like that available from Microsoft for free otherwise I would already have it!

    Thanks mate.

    Right, I reinstalled Windows 7.
    The first thing I did was install the drivers for my wireless card as they don't get found automatically.
    This was from a supplied CD and there are no other updated drivers for it.

    As soon as that had done I went to open device manager and then got a stop screen with BAD_POOL_HEADER (dump attached).

    How can it already be doing stuff wrong?

    Also, I just checked to update the automatically supplied Realtek driver and it is nVidia nForce in device manager and tells me there is no new software for it. I have disabled it for now.

    It now looks as if your Atheros drivers are the cause. Dated 2008, they are well suited for BSODs.

    If you can't find any updated drivers for the card, the next step would be to purchase a card that is compatible with Windows 7.

    Mr King, I think I may have solved half the problem then.
    I check on the Abit website as it is a PCI-E Airpace Wifi. They don't supply Win 7 drivers and it was installing Vista drivers from CD. Quick search on this very forum and found out it is just an Atheros AR5006XS, so have installed the Win 7 driver built in so we will see how this goes.

    What still concerns me is that I was still getting the odd BSoD before I purchased this WiFi card which was only about a week ago.

    I will see how it goes and let you all know.

    Thanks.

    Right, it was fine for about an hour. As soon as I went to install the official Creative driver for my SoundBlaster X-Fi, I got another blue screen.

    Dump attached.
