    Confused by BSOD's


    Hi guys, first post and looking for a bit of help

    Specs:
    Asrock 4CoreDual-Sata2
    Intel E2140
    2GB Corsair XMS DDR2 (2 x 1GB)
    Sapphire Radeon HD4650
    Maxtor 6L200M0

    I have had the above system for some time now but the graphics card is only a few months old. Previously the system has been running perfectly fine under Windows XP and Windows Vista. I have recently put Windows 7 Home Premium 32bit on and am encountering some problems that I am stumped on.

    I am getting graphical corruption in games and also in Media Center and Media Player. I am also getting the occasional BSOD

    Using MCE and WMP the graphical corruption is mainly green artifacts flashing every now and then. My other half likes to play Sims 3 and she has been getting problems with the textures being stretched across the screen and then it will eventually lock up and BSOD.

    One BSOD pointed to atikmdag.sys so I have used driver sweeper to clean the drivers and reinstalled with the latest and also older ones with no luck. I have also checked the temperature of the card and its not exceeding 65C in games.

    When added the graphics card and upgraded to Win 7, I ran memtest overnight and had no errors. Furmark shows no problems with the graphics when running the stress test.

    WhoCrashed gives me the following:

    IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL (a)
    An attempt was made to access a pageable (or completely invalid) address at an
    interrupt request level (IRQL) that is too high.  This is usually
    caused by drivers using improper addresses.
    If a kernel debugger is available get the stack backtrace.
    Arguments:
    Arg1: 463c9b61, memory referenced
    Arg2: 00000002, IRQL
    Arg3: 00000001, bitfield :
     bit 0 : value 0 = read operation, 1 = write operation
     bit 3 : value 0 = not an execute operation, 1 = execute operation (only on chips which support this level of status)
    Arg4: 82c635d0, address which referenced memory

    Most of the dumps indicate memory, lets start there. In addition do the following as shown below
    http://memtest.org/

    Uninstall Daemon, alcohol 120% or other virtualiztion software. Remove the driver sptd with the removal tool http://www.duplexsecure.com/en/downloads
    Test memory with memtest 86. Run for 6 passes and then check each slot with a good stick.
    Uninstall anti virus and replace with Microsoft Security Essentials.
    Update these drivers
    Atikmdag.sys

    Thanks for your reply. Downloading Memtest now and will run for 6 passes as advised then will report back

    ok, I downloaded and ran Memtest 86 overnight. When i woke up it was still running and had so far gone through 9 passes with no errors. Daemon uninstalled and used the SPTD driver with the removal tool.

    At the moment I have anti virus to remove but will put on the Microsoft one.

    I am running the latest ATI Drivers already so Atikmdag.sys should be the latest one.

    I am still getting graphical corruption in MCE though but haven't got time to test a game yet as I am now off to work.

    What would be next?

    Hope the BSODs stop.

    If they don't, upload the new dumps: https://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials...en-forums.html

    Another day another BSOD. Have attached the latest dump file for this one.

    I have now swapped out both sticks of ram for some known good ram. Will see how it goes now

    LOL just asked that, too.
    Finish with the tests, then if the problem continues the dump file will be more valuable.
