One Random BSOD While Surfing 'Net

Hello Don and welcome to Sevenforums!

BSOD Report

Let's start off by looking at the rough edges your dump includes. Your dump included a bad Graphic Direct-X sector. Normally it doesn't mean that Direct-X is corrupted, but Windows files are.

lmvm dx

Code:

1: kd> lmvm dxgmms1
start             end                 module name
fffff880`04b68000 fffff880`04bae000   dxgmms1    (pdb symbols)          c:\symbols\dxgmms1.pdb\0901C357E9E846EE8C2FBCC8107163201\dxgmms1.pdb
    Loaded symbol image file: dxgmms1.sys
    Mapped memory image file: c:\symbols\dxgmms1.sys\4CE799C146000\dxgmms1.sys
    Image path: \SystemRoot\System32\drivers\dxgmms1.sys
    Image name: dxgmms1.sys

DxDiag Notes
------------
      Display Tab 1: No problems found.
        Sound Tab 1: No problems found.
        Sound Tab 2: No problems found.
          Input Tab: No problems found.

As you can see, DX-diag doesn't usually report errors. Though, it's very important that you'll get your files updated.

Download: DirectX End-User Runtime - Microsoft Download Center - Download Details

DX-files tents to change at times, and won't work properly.

SFC /scannow

We usually ask people to do this command to check if Windows is corrupted. It's the most common used one to check if the Windows files are corrupted. If it'll find errors, it'll restore them.

   Tip

If you're having a custom customization layer on your Aero, it's likely to get restored to default.

Press Start | search 'cmd' | Right-click it
| open as Admin | type SFC /SCANNOW

SFC /SCANNOW Command - System File Checker

That'll be all for now!

Thanks for the advice. Installed the DirectX and Scan verified everything was intact. Hopefully my machine will be good to go!

Upload any new incoming BSOD dump if you experience one. :)
