Attachment 179910

Here is my Windows_NT6_BSOD_jcgriff2 for your references, really thanks alot and sorry to trouble you.

Newest crash was Related to safedrv.sys from Garena.com. I would remove it at least to test.

Old drivers needing updating.

Code:

ATKACPI.sys    12/14/2006 3:11:57 AM        0x925d7000    0x925df000    0x00008000    0x4580f93d                        
ASMMAP.sys    2/4/2007 3:52:50 PM        0x9d877000    0x9d87e000    0x00007000    0x45c63992                        
WinRing0.sys    7/26/2008 9:25:10 AM        0x9ff9a000    0x9ff9b980    0x00001980    0x488b25b6                        
AGRSM.sys    11/10/2008 10:56:37 AM        0x94628000    0x9472e000    0x00106000    0x49184ba5

How To Find Drivers:

- search Google for the name of the driver
- compare the Google results with what's installed on your system to figure out which device/program it belongs to
- visit the web site of the manufacturer of the hardware/program to get the latest drivers (DON'T use Windows Update or the Update driver function of Device Manager).
- if there are difficulties in locating them, post back with questions and someone will try and help you locate the appropriate program.

- - The most common drivers are listed on this page: Driver Reference Driver Reference
- - Driver manufacturer links are on this page: Drivers and Downloads

I had updated this,

ATKACPI.sys 12/14/2006 3:11:57 AM 0x925d7000 0x925df000 0x00008000 0x4580f93d


Through the drivers reference website (Date/TimeStamp), I had the latest version below,

ASMMAP.sys 2/4/2007 3:52:50 PM 0x9d877000 0x9d87e000 0x00007000 0x45c63992
AGRSM.sys 11/10/2008 10:56:37 AM 0x94628000 0x9472e000 0x00106000 0x49184ba5
WinRing0.sys 7/26/2008 9:25:10 AM 0x9ff9a000 0x9ff9b980 0x00001980 0x488b25b6


But freezing still occuring after removal of Garena and updating of ATKACPI.sys, just by Using Skype alone it freezes..

For updating drivers you cant use a drivers reference site as they often dont have the most up to date drivers. IF indeed those are the newest drivers they are probably not compatible in win 7 unless installed in compatibility mode and even then may not work.

Ahh I see so sorry, I need help in getting this 2 drivers WinRing0.sys (Lots of broken links for download) and ASMMAP.sys seems to be lenovo hotkey, but i'm using asus weird.. Lol

Hi zigzag3143,

I am 99.9% sure that SP1 updates had caused some incompatibilityto my system, preharps driver, turning off automatic updates would solve the problem, as I had formatted it, without SP1, and it worked perfectly fine.

But as soon as SP1 was updated Freezing occurs back when I turn on Skype especially. Will turning off updates cause any problems in the near future?

Or are there any suspect drivers that need not be used/compatible with Win 7 but not Win 7 SP1, causing my system to freeze, so that I could remove them.

Turning off update is NOT recommended because discovered vulnerablities would not be patched.

Have you run the update readiness tool?



Ensure you install the correct 64 or 32bit option for your system)

Random freezing still occuring, Totally random, you cant predict, you can only know when you use applications such as viewing videos/gaming/skype then it will freeze at random, could be 5mins could be 1 hour could be 3 hours, after System Update Readiness Tool (32bit)

Sounds like a video issue. It could also be net framework, etc.

Ahh, 1 thing I realised, the moment the first freezing occurs, the next freeze will be quite soon when I start gaming/viewing videos, until when I restart my computer then it will take longer before it starts freezing. Meaning after using about 2 hours then when it first freeze, the next freeze takes around 1 hour or less until I restart my computer and it takes awhile before freezing occurs again.

Freezing occurs more frequently when using skype, without video calls, normal calls can cause freezing too.
