    BSOD; NTOSKRNL; and other random crashes


    HI!
    I'm new to the forum so I really hope I'm posting this right.
    I've recently built a new machine using the MSI 890FXA-GD65 Mobo, an AMD phenom II 1100t Black Edition X6 Processor and 16GB (4 x 4GB) CORSAIR XMS 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600
    I've installed windows 7 ultimate 64bit and have been getting BSOD from day one. at first i thought it was software related as i had a piece of software that had known issues but after removing it I continue to have crashes, and it's not always for the same reason, I've run Memtest on it a couple times (8 passes) no errors, and the diskcheck utility. Now I'm completely stumped so I'm hoping one of the many experts on here might have some insight. I wouldn't worry so much if i didn't need my machine for editing, so any help you can all give would be greatly appreciated. for all I know i overlooked something really simple and just can't figure it out. THANK YOU all in advance.

    Stop any overclocking and run Prime95 https://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials...t-prime95.html

    Memory Corruption is alos mentioned in your dumps, use one module of RAM at a time and determine if your system is stable all the different modules

    You really should uninstall whichever software you have that belongs to this ancient driver.

    CRITICAL_STRUCTURE_CORRUPTION (109)
    This bugcheck is generated when the kernel detects that critical kernel code or
    data have been corrupted. There are generally three causes for a corruption:
    1) A driver has inadvertently or deliberately modified critical kernel code
     or data. See http://www.microsoft.com/whdc/driver/kernel/64bitPatching.mspx
    2) A developer attempted to set a normal kernel breakpoint using a kernel
     debugger that was not attached when the system was booted. Normal breakpoints,
     "bp", can only be set if the debugger is attached at boot time. Hardware
     breakpoints, "ba", can be set at any time.
    3) A hardware corruption occurred, e.g. failing RAM holding kernel code or data.
    Arguments:
    Arg1: a3a039d8a21c255d, Reserved
    Arg2: b3b7465ef49a03fb, Reserved
    Arg3: fffff8800159eb90, Failure type dependent information
    Arg4: 0000000000000001, Type of corrupted region, can be
        0 : A generic data region
        1 : Modification of a function or .pdata
        2 : A processor IDT
        3 : A processor GDT
        4 : Type 1 process list corruption
        5 : Type 2 process list corruption

        7 : Critical MSR modification

    I'll try that, thanks, I think I already know what program that sentinel64.sys is from. Thanks for the advice I'll see if I can find bad ram.
