Heh fair enough... I dont have that much time to put my stuff back to how i want (using a ghosted image is a PITA IMHO)
However, i've sat messing with the wifi card and I *touch wood* havent seen a BSOD for a few days (although ive been using my laptop less..) I'm hoping that another clean reinstall of the latest drivers with some tweaks (disabled the bluetooth radio in the card, and put wifi-N back on)
If its still misbehaving ill format and post back :)
Many thanks for all your help :)
Hmm
I had some weird windows lockups so bit the bullet and formatted.
First format i couldnt install SP1 (something appeared to be interfering, after 5/6 attemps i reformatted and put it on straight away)
Just had a BSOD from copying from one drive to the other, hopefully you can get something more from it than I can.

Your crash primarily indicates hard disk problems. This could mean hard disk corruption, bad sectors, a failing hard disk, Windows files or registry corruption, viruses, or memory problems.
- If you are overclocking any hardware, please stop.
- Run Disk Check with Automatically fix file system errors checked. Post back your logs for the checks after finding them using Check Disk (chkdsk) - Read Event Viewer Log (you may need to search for wininit instead of chkdsk).
For any drives that do not give the message:
Windows has checked the file system and found no problems
run disk check again as above. In other words, if it says:
Windows has made corrections to the file system
after running the disk check, run the disk check again.
- If you have an SSD, make sure the following are up to date:
- SSD firmware
- BIOS Version
- Chipset Drivers
- Hard disk controller drivers/SATA drivers
- If you have a Marvell IDE ATA/ATAPI device, uninstall it in device manager and see if the system performs better.
- Check Windows for corruption. Run SFC /SCANNOW Command - System File Checker up to three times to fix all errors with a restart in between each. Post back if it continues to show errors after a fourth run or if the first run comes back with no integrity violations. Use OPTION THREE of SFC /SCANNOW Command - System File Checker to provide us with the sfcdetails.txt file if errors occur.
- Download and install Malwarebytes, update it, do not start the free trial, and then run a full scan. Also run a full scan with your antivirus software installed on your system. If you do not have antivirus software installed, see the Good and Free system security combination. for better security steps and scanning tools. Make sure to update the security software before running the full scan.
OK I thought the other BSOD might of been a one off... Had another BSOD (BSV points to dxgmms1.sys- nVidia driver, but i dont actually know if that is the cause)
(attached) and have followed your steps.
This is using the latest WHQL Driver for the 580M GTX, 301.42
Overclocking
Only overclocking going on is the CPU going into Turbo Mode (rarely)

SSD Firmware -I Thought was up to date however new one has been released (end of april) So i've *just* updated this :)
Bios version is latest
Chipset is latest that Clevo / Sager have released (but theyre quite old..) its a HM67 express chipset.. and annoyingly it seems OEMs Customise whats available so Intel dont have a 'standard' download (unless im being blind! feel free to correct me)
Sata controller is part of the express chipset - so is reasonably outdated, neither Clevo (nor Sager, its american counterpart) has a newer driver on their site...
SMART = Pass
Drive S - The Seagate HDD
Seatools Result:
SMART = Pass
Short-generic = Pass
Long-generic = (not yet ran)
SFC
Pulls up no integrity violations found. (Ran twice just to be sure)
Security:
MSE and Windows Firewall only.
During doing the above, i got another BSOD (BAD_POOL_HEADER)
Dumps attached (middle is the BPH dump)
Also had a BSOD which pulled up pointing to NTFS.sys - did the C drive chkdsk after this (S was done prior) - ths is the latest dump. This occurred during a Malwarebytes scan (obviously putting load on the drive, BSOD was 'Page fault in non paged area')
System is a clean install, with SP1 on prior to installing drivers & third party apps (something interferes with the install of SP1 if done prior..)
Many thanks for any help, The machines starting to send me grey...! :)
Afterthought: Updating the SSD firmware shouldnt have messed with things in a way which would require another format - would you think?
Hi
Just had another bluescreen when doing the Malwarebytes scan.. (doesnt seem to want it to complete, this was scanning the S drive during the crash)
dump attached
Many thanks for any help :)
All but one were related to your file system/ssd. The lone difference was the graphics card driver.
Re-install or install the latest drivers for your display card. Your current drivers may be corrupted and/or outdated. Use the following method to re-install the drivers.
- Download the drivers you want for your display card(s)
- Click Start Menu
- Click Control Panel
- Click Uninstall a program
- For NVIDIA:
- Uninstall the NVIDIA Graphics Driver (this should uninstall all NVIDIA software and drivers)
- Restart your computer
- Make sure NVIDIA 3D Vision Driver, NVIDIA 3D Vision Video Player, NVIDIA HD Audio Driver, and NVIDIA PhysX System Software are not still listed under Uninstall a program through Control Panel
- If any remain of the above, uninstall one at a time
- If asked to restart after uninstalling any of the above, do so, and continue uninstalling any remaining NVIDIA items until all are removed
- Restart your computer after uninstalling drivers for all display cards
- Install the driver you selected for the display cards once Windows starts
Apologies for the slow reply..
Have cleanly installed the nVidia driver, however prior to getting round to that, i had another bluescreen (different reasoning) which i shall expect will probably point ot the nvidia driver (System Service Exception)
A friend of mine has suggested the BSODs are due to my Vertex 3 - some people have even suggested to remove the Intel Drivers completely, and running the drive with the Microsoft AHCI Controller driver... Which I think will be one of the next thing tried..
I'm thinking I may do another format though.
Dump attached, any details greatly appreciated :)
