getting lots of bsod's, several different error codes.

This time it is indicating ATI Display Driver.

I would suggest you to uninstall it using Driver Fusion, and then reinstall it again. If it still crash, you should try installing an immediate older version of the display driver that worked flawlessly.

garcey · 29 Sep 2012

I tried a fresh install of 12.8 and tried 12.6 and even the 12.9 beta but with all of them i got crashes, and i was using driver fusion to uninstall the drivers between trying each of
them. I also noticed that during the installation of the drivers i did get error messages.
one of the times when i was having trouble starting up my computer i did get this message "the file is possibly corrupt. the header checksum does not match the computed checksum." very few of my crashes seem to give crash dumps properly as i only seem to have a crash dump from the 27th but i'll post that one anyway and i'll add what i got from the grab all button, just in case you want to look at that.

Arc · 29 Sep 2012

Hello gracey, Your crash dumps are not showing any finite probable cause. In such a situation, it is better to enable Driver Verifier to monitor the drivers.

Driver Verifier - Enable and Disable

Run Driver Verifier for 24 hours or the occurrence of the next crash, whichever is earlier.

Let us know the results, with the subsequent crash dumps, if any.

garcey · 30 Sep 2012

Hello, I ran driver verifier but I don't seem to have gotten any crash dumps from when I ran it. When I ran it this time I was able to start it up but once I was logged on it would freeze, but not go to a bluescreen. The few times it did go to a bluescreen were once i had turned driver verifier off and even then I didn't get any crash dumps from those.

I'll attach a grab all and the crash dumps but I don't think there is anything new unfortunately.

Arc · 30 Sep 2012

Hello Garcey, the zips you uploaded contain the latest dump of 27/09, which is already analyzed and posted in post #11.
Attachment 234412

Disable verifier, run the computer normally. if it crashes there, inform us with the dumps. We are to think differently then.

garcey · 01 Oct 2012

Hello, after running my computer without verifier on and getting plenty of bluescreens, I still do not have any new crash dumps. I don't know why but it simply refuses to make any new ones. Is there anything I can do to fix this?

Arc · 01 Oct 2012

Try to force minidump at crash.

Go to Advance System Setting
Under Performance .. click on setting ...
Go to Advanced Tab and then under virtual memory click change
check "Automatically Manage paging file size for all drives"..... click Ok and ok
and if asked to restart do so....

Now you should be able to create a minidump (By Centaur78).

garcey · 02 Oct 2012

I followed those steps and saw that "Automatically Manage paging file size for all drives" was already checked, so I unchecked then rechecked it and then restarted. My computer still won't make any crash dumps.

*edit* Is there anything else I can do to try and get it to make crash dumps? or is there something else I can do to try to fix my computer?

Garcey

Have you done memtest on your RAM's.... most bsod are memory violation errors.... and looking at the trails of post... the system is unable to produce dumps..... So first lets rule out the hardware... Do a memtest for each RAM at each slot for atleast 6 to 8 passes..

garcey · 18 Oct 2012

Hello! It took awhile but I finally finished running memtest and after testing each RAM stick in each slot I got zero errors. Also my computer has inexplicably stopped crashing, All the things that used to crash my computer (i.e any game, though it would crash outside of games aswell) have been able to run without error. Should I consider the problem solved? or should I run some more tests even though at present time it won't crash and to my knowledge it still won't post crashdumps?
