Random BSOD in general use (mainly 0x0000000D1 and 0x0000000F7)

Hello,

I am using Windows 7 Enterprise SP1 - x64.
(I have all updates).
- The PC is pretty old (4 years and 3 months, bought in Oct 2007).
- The PC is made from components.
- I bought and installed the OS separately (Full Retail).
- I reinstalled the OS a few weeks back, trying to solve this problem.

Components:
- Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-N650SLI-DS4, socket 775
- CPU: Intel Core 2 Duo E6750, 2670 MHz, S.775, Box
- HDD: Western Digital Caviar SE16 500GB, 7200rpm, 16MB, SATA2
- Video card: Palit Daytona Nvidia GeForce FX8600GT 512MB 128bit DDR3, PCI-E
- The RAM was changed recently: 2x Kingston 2GB DDR2-800 PC6400 CL6 ValueRam
- I use a dual-monitor setup: BenQ FP95G 19" LCD and LG 42LE5300.

The problem occurred both before and after changing the ram.
I could not find a reproduction for this crashes.
The only thing is that they occur for a while after I have booted the computer up and then they stop until I shut it down for the night and then start it again in the morning.

The BSOD codes vary, but I often see:
0x0000000D1
0x0000000F7
0x00000007E

Please let me know if additional info is needed.
Thank you in advance!

MSINFO32 shows an ATI driver crash from 28 Dec 2011
Did you have an ATI card installed? Have you uninstalled the ATI stuff (it looks like you have)?

Why are you using a Realtek network card when there's an nVidia network card built into your system?
Please try disabling the nVidia card in your BIOS (so it's not detected by Windows)

9 memory dumps over 7 days (31 Dec - 06 Jan 2012)
6 different BSOD error codes
6 different causes blamed
In most cases like this, the error pattern indicates
- hardware failure
- compatibility issues
- low-level driver problems
- or even a malware infection

Your Realtek NIC driver dates from 2008. Please visit the Realtek website and download the latest driver for your NIC: Realtek (it's most likely the PCI Express one)

Please also update your chipset drivers as they date from 2010 or earlier. You can look up the chipset driver version at the Gigabyte website. If, as I suspect, it's an nVidia chipset, then visit the nVidia website to download the latest version: Drivers - Download NVIDIA Drivers

Then, I'd start by running the free diagnostics/stress tests that I've compiled at this link: Hardware Diags

Thank you for your advice!

I had an ATI card for a little while, but I returned it because of the blue screens (searched the codes and found that it was a problem with the card). I have removed all ATI related software and ran a registry clean.

Related to your instructions:
1. Video Card: I reinstalled the newest drivers from nVidia.
2. Realtek NIC: I removed it physically from my PC.
3. Gigabyte Motherboard:
- I went to their website: GA-N650SLI-DS4 Drivers and found only a driver for the audio card which I have installed.
- From nVidia I installed the latest nForce driver.

NOTE:
- I will post again once I encounter another BSOD or if the changes I made fixed my problem.
- If I encounter another BSOD I will proceed with the hw tests.

Thanks again for your input!

==========LATER EDITS==========

Update 1:
- I got another 2 BSODs.
- I have attached "BSOD_dump2.zip" with the new dumps.
- I will start running the hw tests and will post the results.

Update 2:
In the meantime, lots of other BSODs ("BSOD_dump3.zip" attached).

Still looks like hardware to me. But since you've had STOP 0x50 errors, please run Driver Verifier according to these instructions:

Using Driver Verifier is an iffy proposition. Most times it'll crash and it'll tell you what the driver is. But sometimes it'll crash and won't tell you the driver. Other times it'll crash before you can log in to Windows. If you can't get to Safe Mode, then you'll have to resort to offline editing of the registry to disable Driver Verifier.

So, I'd suggest that you first backup your stuff and then make sure you've got access to another computer so you can contact us if problems arise. Then make a System Restore point (so you can restore the system using the Vista/Win7 Startup Repair feature).

Then, here's the procedure:
- Go to Start and type in "verifier" (without the quotes) and press Enter
- Select "Create custom settings (for code developers)" and click "Next"
- Select "Select individual settings from a full list" and click "Next"
- Select everything EXCEPT FOR "Special Pool", "Force Pending I/O Requests" and "Low Resource Simulation" and click "Next"
- Select "Select driver names from a list" and click "Next"
Then select all drivers NOT provided by Microsoft and click "Next"
- Select "Finish" on the next page.

Reboot the system and wait for it to crash to the Blue Screen. Continue to use your system normally, and if you know what causes the crash, do that repeatedly. The objective here is to get the system to crash because Driver Verifier is stressing the drivers out. If it doesn't crash for you, then let it run for at least 36 hours of continuous operation (an estimate on my part).

Reboot into Windows (after the crash) and turn off Driver Verifier by going back in and selecting "Delete existing settings" on the first page, then locate and zip up the memory dump file and upload it with your next post.

If you can't get into Windows because it crashes too soon, try it in Safe Mode.
If you can't get into Safe Mode, try using System Restore from your installation DVD to set the system back to the previous restore point that you created.

If that doesn't work, post back and we'll have to see about fixing the registry entry off-line:

Code:

Delete these registry keys to stop Driver Verifier from loading (works in XP, Vista, Win7):
        HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Memory Management\VerifyDrivers
        HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Memory Management\VerifyDriverLevel

OK, so far it's been a whole day of usage without any BSODs.
I am pretty sure that the problem was a defective audio jack from the on-board audio card.
I use a 5.1 one system which connects to the PC via three 3.5 audio jacks. Yesterday, when I was trying to disconnect whatever was not vital for the PC to work I saw that when I unplugged a jack, there was a spark. Same when I plugged it in again.

What I did:
- I disabled from BIOS everything I did not use: Floppy, everything IDE related, Serial and Parallel ports.
- I used Realtek HD Audio Manager to assign a different input jack instead of the one with the shortcircuit.

Now it's been a whole day without any BSODs.

I will report as fixed if I don't see another BSOD during the next 48 hours.

Thanks a lot for your help!

LE: Marked as solved, no BSODs for 2 days straight!
