Random BSOD's, error 0xa

adrastea · 27 Feb 2012

Ok. I ran the system file check and that came up clean. I'm currently running driver verifier on all drivers. I'll post dump files as they happen.

Good luck!
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.

Nothing yet. I've been using it like normal. Even playing games.

JMH · 28 Feb 2012

Sounds good.
Time will reveal all.

Here we go. Had another one. This one logged a bugcheck in the event log just before crashing. My computer was just idling on the desktop, too. Happened when I accidentally bumped the dvi cable in the back of my monitor loose. When I plugged it back in, it had already started the restart process after the blue screen. Here's the exact message:

The computer has rebooted from a bugcheck. The bugcheck was: 0x00000024 (0x00000000001904fb, 0xfffff88005bfe2f8, 0xfffff88005bfdb50, 0xfffff88001052f14). A dump was saved in: C:\Windows\MEMORY.DMP. Report Id: .

And I'd attach the dump file, but just before that bugcheck error was another that said it was unable to create a dump file.

I completely uninstalled MSE, and replaced it with our school's free student Symantec AV. After that, it worked for a day, then, the next time I started it, before even loading my desktop, it blue screened. During the blue screen it did a physical memory dump, restarted my computer, and loaded up the desktop just fine. I checked the event logs and there were no errors before or after the blue screen.
I've attached the updated crash report with today's blue screen dump file.

Memory corruption. Probably caused by this Related to RTCore64.sys MSI Afterburner from Micro-Star Int'l Co. Ltd. (yours is dated 2005 and afterburner has known problems with win 7). Needs to be removed.

Ok. I'll uninstall Afterburner, although I'm almost entirely positive that's not the problem. It started blue screening before I installed afterburner. In fact, I only installed it to make sure my GPU wasn't causing the blue screens by overheating. But I'll remove it and keep driver verifier going. Are there any similar programs I can use to monitor GPU temp during games?

May not be the problem on this system, but yours is from 2005 and it does have issues with win 7. As all BSOD's are a combination of things it might be contributing.

Im just making suggestions.

I'm sorry. I didn't mean to come off as hostile or anything. I just meant to say that I installed it after the BSODs started. Sorry for that. And thanks for all the help.
