BSOD Windows 7 BCCode 50
Hi all.
I really appreciate all the help I can get.
I have this machine, that I have built myself about little over a month ago, using spare and new parts. I installed Windows 7 Ultimate 32bit, since I have been using it a lot and find it the best OS.
All is good for several weeks. Then suddenly, when I boot up and log in to windows, one of my external HDDs (Maxtor Basics Desktop 500GB) does not show properly. The thing is, when taking a look in the Computer (from start menu) it is there, with the default letter (G:\), but the counters for the space left and used are not shown, and opening it will encounter an error saying that I must run chkdsk. Problem was, that I could not do that. No matter what I did. So after fiddling around for hours I put it in another computer, which read it just fine, and then did a chkdsk from there.
Next time I boot the computer up with the Maxtor HDD in it worked again. Sometimes it does not, but now I can just unplug the power and put it back in to solve.
Right after these problems, like the same day, I had the first BSOD on this computer. Do not know if it is related (I do not think so myself) but maybe worth mentioning.
Since then, I had several BSOD of the same type - BCCode 50. (Or STOP Error Code 0x000050)
I know this particularly type MAY have something to do with the memory, so I got my self a copy of UBCD and bootet it, to run Memtest. I had it running for about 10 hours, with 8 passes, no errors. Seems good to me, but does not isolate the problem though.
So I am thinking if it is memory related, then maybe it is the memory of the GPU. (Have not checked, and have not learned yet how).
Beside this I made sure all drivers are up to date. In fact I used the 3rd party programme, Driver Genius, which found 22 newer drivers for my system and I did update after a driver-backup. It seemed it went out nice (initially), but then my computer hang/froze or what the term is when your computer just stops responding, leaving you with only option to use the power button. So i placed in back the driver-backup and it solved.
Then I wanted to get rid of my anti-virus, Panda Cloud Antivirus. In fact it has been good to me, and I was kind of liking it, but maybe (and I do not have anything pointing directly to this) my system and that AV just do not like each other.
I went to Add/remove programs and found Panda - clicked on it, and the system hang again. I restarted by the button, went to Add/remove programs and chose a different program to uninstall. It did. Then I tried Panda once more, as soon as I clicked on it, the system hang.
Ok. So I know something seems wrong with that AV. Now after a lot of fiddling around (stopped all the Panda services so I could delete all files but three) I finally took it out. Now I have Microsoft Security Essentials installed, and it seems - so Microsoft. I think it is good actually.
Anyway, even after completely removed the Panda Cloud Antivirus, the Add/remove programs hangs everytime I call the list. I do not even get to pointing out a program. And reaching it through other programmes, like CCcleaner does the same thing.
I am not sure wether problems are related, but they are annoying.
When I boot up in Safe Mode I can control the Add/remove program just fine, without problems.
I have also made a sfc /scannow, which did not find anything.
I do not want to make a system restore, because of all the trouble I have had with the system in the last 2 weeks or so.
I have attached the output of the BSOD collector programme to this post.
I hope someone are able to help me out and I really hope it is not hardware related
