    Multiple BSODs at random moments


    Hi,

    problemes started only a few days ago
    I upgraded my ram to a pair of Corsair Vengeance @ 1866 Mhz (2x4gb)
    Everything was fine, but Battlefield 3 starting crashing every time, it could be after 1min or 1h of play time
    My CPU was overclocked at 4Ghz, so I put it back to its stock frequency wich is 3.3 Ghz, but it did not solve the problem.
    Starting maybe yesterday or the day before that, only while playing BF3 I was getting BSOD instead of bf3 crashing to desktop, I used 'bluescreenview' to see it was ntoskrnl.exe the problem. Reinstalled windows, but nothing change, still bsod while playing bf3 (even tested with mafia 2, same result). Then I started having BSOD while only surfing on internet, and every time it was a different driver the cause of BSOD.

    I ran every test I could think of, ram, cpu, etc but everything seems to be ok so I don't understand

    My spec:
    Asus Crosshair V Formula
    AMD Phenom II x6 1100T Black Edition 3.3 Ghz (cooled with Corsair H80)
    Corsair Vengeance 2x4Gb 1866Mhz 9-10-9-27
    Twintech GTX 570 1280mb GDDR5
    SSD Samsung Series 830 128gb sata 3
    HDD western digital caviar green 5400 rpm 1000gb sata 3
    OCZ Modxstream pro 700W

    I believe (but I am not sure of anything...) it is the motherboard, because the first time that computer booted, the motherboard was touching the side panel, and it just wouldnt boot until I saw that ... then it booted but the cpu fan was not detected (not corsair h80 at that time, stock cooler) I had to plug it somewhere else... that was a year ago this month

    I hope I did not forget anything, the reports, minidumps, etc and everything are attached in a .rar file

    Drivers
    Make sure all Windows updates are installed.
    Hardware
    I see you have an SSD installed. SSD drivers are a common cause of BSOD's, in particular Crucial M4's with outdated firmware. Make sure that the following is up to date:

    • SSD Firmware
    • BIOS Version
    • Chipset Drivers
    • Hard disk controller drivers/SATA drivers
    • Marvell IDE ATA/ATAPI controllers (older drivers for these are especially problematic)

    Run a chkdsk on the system partition to check for bad sectors or system errors.

    Thanks, I will update the firmware, bios is already up to date and the drivers as well. Check disk repairs the ntfs.sys BSOD but if I launch battlefield I get a random bsod ( usb controller, directx,...) and after 2 - 3 bsod the ntfs.sys problem returns

    edit : while installing samsung ssd magician software , BSOD "SYSTEM_SERVICE_EXEPTION" stop code 0x0000003b
    edit : samsung software is installed and is telling me FW is already up to date
    And I forgot to mention my optical drive, asus blu ray reader, and when I put a dvd it's really doing a weird noise

    Can you please upload the new dumps?

    Until then, install the latest version of DirectX.
    Download: DirectX End-User Runtime - Microsoft Download Center - Download Details

    Test your video card using Furmark. Watch your machine's temps and stop the test if it starts to overheat or artifacts appear on the screen.

    On top of my previous posts suggestions, run the following:
    Run an sfc/scannow command in an elevated command prompt. If errors are found, run it twice more with each scan followed by a reboot.
    SFC /SCANNOW Command - System File Checker

    Run disk cleanup to find and remove unnecessary files on your hard drive to free up space and make your computer run faster.

    kevgen do you use a trainer while playing ,if so then permanently delete all trainers .
    Then run a full scan of spybot,SUPERAntiSpyware, malwarebytes and eset online scanner.
    if they ask for a restart please do so.Don't run them together !
    Most probably your problem will be solved.
