4 different BSODs in two months

userAZ · 09 May 2012

Ok, will come back in a couple of weeks if I don't have any problems sooner.
Thanks for your help.

You're welcome. :) Best wishes!

Ok, an update as I promised.

In the following 10 days to my last post I experienced two further BSODs.

I then decided to follow my intuition, and given that my 1st BSOD BAD_POOL_HEADER occurred hours after installation of a Wireless card, I uninstalled it.

It is now 12 days that I have gone without any problems and it looks as if - keeping my fingers crossed - the issue may have been resolved. If it remains so I will mark so this thread.

Thank you for keeping us updated. Nice troubleshooting!

Look forward to when you know for sure.

Everything still fine, so I am inclined to conclude it was the wireless card - now if I could only troubleshoot it :)

Could be the card itself is faulty, or it could be the drivers cause conflicts. Have you tried opening a support ticket with the manufacturer of the wireless card?

userAZ · 10 Jul 2012

The support people suggest to update my BIOS (already updated to the latest version, which by now dates back sometime ago

) on the grounds that probably it does not support all versions of the PCI protocol.
Unfortunately this takes me beyond my knowledge, so I don't know if it makes sense and if - given that I cannot further update the BIOS - there may be other workarounds.

Are you still having crashes? If so, please follow the https://www.sevenforums.com/crashes-d...tructions.html. We may be able to give alternatives if you do so.

Also, let's check hardware compatibility:

Download and install CPU-Z and Upload screenshots of the CPU, Mainboard, Memory, and SPD tabs. In the SPD tab, upload an image of each slot.

Funnily enough, after being stable since I posted so, my system crashed again [IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL] just after my latest post.

I am attaching both the CPU-Z screenshots as well as the latest BSOD report.
