    Help please - Multiple BSOD W7 64


    Hello everyone - hoping you can help please.

    I have been having multiple crashes and BSOD in the past few months, with multiple BSOD codes. Sometimes it does not even bring up a BSOD screen, but just crashes with thin, multi-coloured, static horizontal lines across the screen and requires a hard reboot. If music is playing through the computer when it crashes, it makes a loud constant buzzing through the speakers.

    I have attached a link to skydrive ( Minidump - Windows Live )which has the last 4 minidump readouts, one copy with the services and one with just the minidump. I only just realised last night that for some reason W7 had turned off the dump file creation, so there is a big gap between November and now, but the latest one is at the top from today and copied below:

    021911-15584-01.dmp
    SYSTEM_SERVICE_EXCEPTION
    0x0000003b 00000000`c0000005 fffff880`050a1034 fffff880`074f8700 00000000`00000000
    Caused by driver: Npfs.SYS
    Caused by driver address: Npfs.SYS+11c2034

    The one before is DRIVER_IRGQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL from DXGMMS1.SYS and the last two are REFERENCE BY POINTER from NTOSKRNL.EXE

    I have run memtest for 5 hours with no errors, ATI tool for 2 hours with no errors, and use Advanced System Care Pro for registry cleaning etc. I use MS Security Essentials and Malware Bytes, and they have not found anything untoward in months.

    At one point I had to replace the PSU as the one provided shorted, and this has been upgraded to allow more power.

    There does not seem to be much consistency to when it crashes; happens when idle, using Chrome, Adobe CS4 or itunes. Disabling Asus Express Gate does nothing, but turning off hibernation solved the problem of the PC not waking up some of the time.

    This was a new build 18 months ago, and has only ever run W7 Premium 64 from disc, not oem. I have done multiple reinstalls and restores, but every time, after a few days and sometimes hours, it starts crashing again. Up until now it had actually been OK, but in the last few days it has started again a lot (twice yesterday and once today already). I have partitioned C for program files including OS, and D for all other data files.

    Happy to provide any more info anyone wants and grateful if anyone has any ideas what to do please-thank you.

    It seems you accidentally attached the exe file itself, instead of the actual report. Could you try uploading the output folder?

    There's only 1 memory dump in the uploaded info. Please don't use any system cleaning utilities until we're done with this issue. Also, please don't use registry cleaners as they often cause more harm than good.

    On 16 Nov 2010 you had 2 STOP 0x18 errors
    On 20 Nov 2010 you had a STOP 0xD1 error
    On 17 Jan 2011 you had a STOP 0x117, 2 STOP 0x18, and a STOP 0xD1
    On 19 Feb 2011 you had a STOP 0x3B - this is the only one present in the uploads
    Most of the missing reports point to video issues, but we can't say more without having reports to analyze.

    I do notice that you have ATITool installed - that program is not (AFAIK) compatible with Win7. Please uninstall it and see if that helps.

    I didn't see that you have Daemon Tools/Alcohol 120% installed - but you do have the troublesome sptd.sys driver. Please uninstall Daemon Tools/Alcohol 120% (if you haven't already), then use this free tool to remove the sptd.sys file: DuplexSecure - FAQ - Remove 64 bit sptd.sys

    You also have the 2005 version of the ASACPI.sys driver - a known cause of BSOD's in Win7. Please download the latest version from here: ASUSTeK Computer Inc.-Support- download_item_mkt It's in the Utilities sub-section and is named "ATK0110 driver for WindowsXP/Vista/Win7 32&64-bit"

    Also, there have been some BSOD issues with the Asus P5 series of boards and the automatic memory settings in the BIOS. Please find the settings/timings/voltages for your memory at the Corsair website and use those settings/timings/voltages to set you BIOS (in other words, DO NOT use the Auto setting for memory in the BIOS).

    OLDER DRIVERS PRESENT IN THE DUMP FILES
    - Please update these drivers from the device manufacturer's website - or uninstall them from your system.
    - DO NOT use Windows Update or the Update Drivers function of Device Manager.
    - Windows Update exceptions may be noted below for Windows drivers:

    Wow, there is a lot going on there from what you are saying - thank you very much for looking into that and for using plain English to explain what to do! I will have a go at removing and updating what you have suggested.

    Assuming all goes well after that, grateful if you could please advise how best to maintain a clean registry without a reg cleaner?

    Thanks again.

    IMO there's no need to "maintain" the registry.
    See this link - although it refers to XP, the registry remains essentially the same in Vista and Win7: XP Fixes Myth #1: Registry Cleaners - Windows BBS

    Thanks for the article - So with 1TB of space to play with I shouldn't worry about a few junk files, as it might end up getting rid of stuff the PC actually needs! Never would have guessed.

    You have said that "most of the missing reports point to video issues, but we can't say more without having reports to analyze". Grateful if you can let me know what do you need me to do to get this info please.

    I have done everything but the BIOS/RAM relationship, but just wanted to check what you mean with this table please:
    Are you saying I need to update all these drivers, with exception of ATITool, spdt.sys which I have since removed and ASCAPI which I have updated, and the place I can get the drivers is the Carrona site?

    One last question if possible please - How did you get the readout of the dates of the above drivers? Is there a programme I can use to get this info?

    Thanks again

    Hi-having a bit of trouble understanding what I am supposed to do with the Corsair info. The only info that seems to bear any relation to what you are saying (settings/timings/voltages) is the voltage, but with regards to the settings and timings, I do not know what to look for.

    XMS2
    Tested Voltage1.8
    SPD Voltage1.8
    Speed Rating PC2-6400 (800MHz)
    SPD Speed 800Mhz
    Tested Speed 800Mhz
    Tested Latency5-5-5-18
    SPD Latency5-5-5-18

    I have also copied a readout from CPU-Z if that helps.

    Thank you Usasma - really appreciate the help.
