BSOD various error codes occuring

scarborough · 14 Dec 2012

Hi Koolkat! Thanks for taking the time to help.

MSE and Malwarebytes done.

I did a clean install of NVdia by following your tips including using DriverFusion/Sweeper.

I also ran the sfc and it came up with 'Windows Resource Protection did not find any integrity violations'.

Ran chkdsk as well, freed my start up and went to the Intel website to find that my drivers are up to date. Also for the Windows Service Pack, it's already installed.

I also managed to keep up with the Windows Update, installing everything under the important category.

Attached is another set of minidumps that occurred while I was doing the steps. I also get this error in Event Viewer that goes "Microsoft Security Client OOBE" stopped due to the following error: 0xC000000D", in case this helps identify my problem.

Take memtest. Run for 8 passes and test each stick in a know good slot for an additional 6 passes.

RAM - Test with Memtest86+

The goal is to test all the RAM sticks and all the motherboard slots.

Check your motherboard manual to ensure the RAM sticks are in the recommended motherboard slots. Some motherboards have very specific slots required for the number of RAM sticks installed.

If you get errors, stop the test and continue with the next step.

1. Remove all but one stick of RAM from your computer (this will be RAM stick #1), and run Memtest86 again, for 7 passes.

*Be sure to note the RAM stick, use a piece of tape with a number, and note the motherboard slot.

If this stick passes the test then go to step #3.

2. If RAM stick #1 has errors, repeat the test with RAM stick #2 in the same motherboard slot.

*If RAM stick #2 passes, this indicates that RAM stick #1 may be bad. If you want to be absolutely sure, re-test RAM stick #1 in another known good slot.

*If RAM stick #2 has errors, this indicates another possible bad RAM stick, a possible motherboard slot failure or inadequate settings.

3. Test the next stick of RAM (stick #2) in the next motherboard slot.

*If this RAM stick has errors repeat step #2 using a known good stick if possible, or another stick.

*If this RAM stick has no errors and both sticks failed in slot#1, test RAM stick #1 in this slot.

4. If you find a stick that passes the test, test it in all the other motherboard slots.

If Part 2 testing shows errors, and all tests in Part 3 show errors, you will need to test the RAM sticks in another computer and/or test other RAM in your computer to identify the problem.

In this way, you can identify whether it is a bad stick of RAM, a bad motherboard, or incompatibility between the sticks.

Errors are sometimes found after 8 passes.

Do this test overnight, before going to bed.

Actually I already ran Memtest before. It succeeded all 8 passes.

The latest dump files showed a possible problem with memory.

Have you tested the RAM sticks individually?

Ah, I should do the tests again then.

Though I'm not sure how I would check them individually since I can't open my laptop.

How did you do the test earlier then?

Edit: OK I get it.

Also to add more information, doing a Furmark test 20 seconds in makes my computer crash. Do you think that could be a reason as well?
