whea-logger event 18

Yesterday I started to get freeze on my computer mainly while playing video game or doing things related to video hardware.

I'm suspecting a graphic card failures here, however, I can still play some games and it will work well under severe conditions and sometimes the computer just freeze up, everything locked.

I get this message : whea-logger event 18 in the windows event viewers.

Here are the minidump-file:


I have not use the forum in a long time, hopefully it still work that ways. Thanks in advance.



Event Viewer messages that I see in repetition with various processos ID :

A fatal hardware error has occurred.

Reported by component: Processor Core
Error Source: Machine Check Exception
Error Type: Bus/Interconnect Error
Processor ID: 0

The details view of this entry contains further information.

I must mention that the freeze end up with BSOD report but there is no BSOD screen.

I'm on a portable so I can't check your system info right now.
Traditionally a WHEA error is a hardware level error though.
Meaning something is wrong physically with a component in the computer.

Hopefully someone on a actual computer will drop by here for you.

I'll try to remember your thread but it will likely be tomorrow evening before I have access to a proper computer again.

Okay dump file is saying hardware... which doesn't really surprise me.
If you are not running a overclock the only thing I can really think to do now is start stress testing components.
RAM - Test with Memtest86+

that will cover ram and cpu (memtest should be left running overnight)

Code:

Probably caused by : hardware

The only other possibility here is drastically out of control antivirus or firewall software causing hardware level interrupts.

what test did you run on the ram?

The ram was fully tested on memtest86+

No worry about the ram here, it isnt faulty. Trust me I've already went throught many problem with rams...that's the main reason I joined this forum more than 1 years ago. I know the procedures.

If I'm asking on this forum that is because all normal procedures of verifications didnt give me any answers.

in the last 24 hours I played 2 hours of Company of heroes and 2 hours of league of legends and nothing happenned. I also listened a 2 hours movie in 720p on my hooked up HDTV and nothing failed.

Strange.


Also I found this thread wich indicate me that deamon tools might have been my problem :

http://forums.steampowered.com/forum....php?t=1303597

ugh that's my bad, I should have noticed daemon tools on the list of drivers. (it's a known problem causer around here as well)
You should run the uninstall feature with this to make absolutely sure all the daemon tools components are off the system.
Once the program is removed run the SPTD removal tool. DuplexSecure - Downloads
