A Variety of BSoDs

CarlTR6 · 01 Nov 2010

This is not the news we wanted to hear. It is an error 124. I checked every one of your loaded drivers and all appear to be up to date. Now to test hardware.

1. Run Check disk to check your hard drive(s).

Run CHKDSK /R /F from an elevated (Run as adminstrator) Command Prompt. Please do this for each hard drive on your system.
When it tells you it can't do it right now - and asks you if you'd like to do it at the next reboot - answer Y (for Yes) and press Enter. Then reboot and let the test run. It may take a while for it to run, but keep an occasional eye on it to see if it generates any errors. See "CHKDSK LogFile" below in order to check the results of the test.

Elevated Command Prompt:
Go to Start and type in "cmd.exe" (without the quotes)
At the top of the Search Box, right click on Cmd.exe and select "Run as administrator"

CHKDSK LogFile:
Go to Start and type in "eventvwr.msc" (without the quotes) and press Enter
Expand the Windows logs heading, then select the Application log file entry.
Double click on the Source column header.
Scroll down the list until you find the Chkdsk entry (wininit for Windows 7) (winlogon for XP) .

Copy/paste the results into your next post.

2. Test your RAM with Memtest. Test it both warm and from a cold boot after you computer has been off for a while. Follow the instructions in this tutorial and do at least 7 passes: RAM - Test with Memtest86+

3. Test your video card with Furmark. Monitor your temps as you test with either Speedfan or CPUZ. Follow the instructions in this tutorial: Video Card - Stress Test with Furmark. Post your results.

4. Run Prime 95 to test your CPU and your RAM. Monitor your temps. Follow the instructions in this tutorial: https://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials...t-prime95.html

Run 3 separate tests, one on each of the settings (Blend, Small FFTs, Large FFTs). Post back with your results.

It's going to be a busy work week for me, so it will take several days to run the tests and post all of the results. I do have the very lengthy CHKDSK results in the meantime:

Very good. I would run Check Disk again on Drive K:. It looks like C: drive is fine. We will be waiting for the results of your other tests.

Sorry about taking so long to get back to you. Work really tired me out last week and today is the first time in a while that I've had a chance to post my results. I ran all of the tests as suggested and everything seems okay.

Here is the rescan of my Drive K check disk:

I ran Memtest with both a warm and cold boot for 14 passes and no errors were found.

I ran Furmark for a half hour, letting the little graph line fill up and everything seemed fine. The video card temperature stayed around 50C for the entire test.

And I ran all three of the suggested tests with Prime95 for a little over a total of 20 hours. Nothing unusual was found nor did the computer overheat. The temperature remained around a constant 120F.

I also didn't get any blue screens during the test.

Talking to a co-worker at my job, he suggested that I could have a faulty motherboard. I got in contact with the company that built my PC and they'll ship a new one out to me after I ship my current one in. Hopefully a new motherboard will do the trick?

The motherboard could certainly be faulty. I hope that solves the problem. You RAM checks OK, your CPU checks OK, your video checks OK and you hard drive checks OK. Good job of following instructions. Please let us know the results of the new motherboard.

I thought this post finally deserved some closure. I've been without my computer for just under two months and I've just gotten it back.

Thanks to work it took me a while to ship off my motherboard. When I finally got around to installing in early December (after some serious delays) my computer didn't work. I didn't feel like troubleshooting it so I sent the entire thing back to the manufacturer (CyberPower PC). It came back on Tuesday and everything seems to be okay. Both the motherboard and the CPU were ultimately replaced. Luckily the machine is still under warranty so I just had to pay to ship it there.

All of my drivers are up to date, especially that pesky ASUS driver. Thanks again for all of your help! It was great to have some light shed on what was wrong with my machine in the first place. :)
