Mem management, bad pool header, & other BSODs after 7 x64 install
Just bought a used 'built' computer from a nice on a car forum I'm part of, he's been great with contact, and with me on this whole journey of problems. He never had a single problem with this computer after building it and using it. Of course when he sends off his baby in the mail, something happens and now I'm having NUMEROUS problems. For a while I was throwing BSODs left and right within seconds of restarts, even with the system idling it would throw BSODs for no apparent reason. I was running the main drive which is an SSD in AHCI mode, and he mentioned he left the BIOS at default settings, so I reset it all to IDE, reinstalled windows, and my problems have been alleviated; but for the past few hours (just got this computer last Friday so been trying to get it up and running for work to be done) I've been getting quite a few bsods; but not nearly as many as before. Besides the uploads, some other things I've noticed which have been odd, opening and closing Java will lock up the system (or rather run the i5 too 100% across the board), then I will get a BSOD and a system restart. Sometimes firefox will absolutely randomly crash on me for no reason, again.. when it's idling, it just freaks out. Twice now I've noticed 7 will drop out of Aero mode and into the 'basic' non-clear graphics, and sometimes my wifi card will drop out entirely for a minute or two and act like there isn't one. I know a fair amount of computers, or rather used to, but I'm absolutely no good at debugging or figuring out what is causing BSOD errors or what... so hopefully someone here can help me out! Thanks. windows 7 home premium 64bit intel i5 750 Nvidia 460 GTX corsair 8gb ram corsair 64gb ssd & 1tb hdd 1 day old windows install with adobe suite, only drivers _I_ have installed have been the nvidia graphics driver, I let windows choose what I need; so far that's been working .. longest. 0 updates have been put on the windows install either. Something else to mention, I ran memtest86+ for a good 14 hours (14 passes) and it came up with 0 errors. Hopefully some logs will make sense of the issues I'm having because I have no clue what is causing any of this. If you need any other in formation let me know! Thanks again for anyone who helps!
