BSOD'ing after X amount of up time

Maguscreed · 07 Oct 2012

It create minidumps, or at least it's supposed too.
All the same everything points to the creative labs driver so far.
Turn off driver verifier in the meantime, it's really not helping in this case.

You can also do this to help ensure minidumps are created.

To ensure minidumps are enabled:

Go to Start, in the Search Box type: sysdm.cpl, press Enter.
Under the Advanced tab, click on the Startup and Recovery Settings... button.
Ensure that Automatically restart is unchecked.
Under the Write Debugging Information header
Select Small memory dump (256 kB) in the dropdown box (the 256kb varies).
Ensure that the Small Dump Directory is listed as %systemroot%\Minidump.
OK your way out.
Reboot if changes have been made.

So summary of how it looks now.

I'm running all 4 sticks of ram. I have the Sound Blaster drivers uninstalled. Verifier is off. I'm using my onboard sound card. The selective suspend is off(but the SB drivers aren't installed, so that shouldn't be an issue.)

Any other recommendations? Just wait and see if I crash?

Maguscreed · 07 Oct 2012

We just wait at this point. Meanwhile uninstall the soundblaster driver and just use the regular plugs (it shouldn't require drivers to work that way)

Jackitos · 07 Oct 2012

Correct, this is what I am doing. Alright, will check back in later! Thanks a ton, Magus.

Jackitos · 08 Oct 2012

Decided to check my computer after I let it idle for like an hour, because I heard the fan working hard. Blue screen.

Verifier is off. Soundblaster is uninstalled, headset is plugged into the jacks.

Jackitos · 09 Oct 2012

Changed a few more power settings, CPU didn't crash overnight. We'll see if/when it does.

Jackitos · 09 Oct 2012

Crashed in middle of game, no minidump

Jackitos · 13 Oct 2012

Still crashing, I just been shutting down at night.

Maguscreed · 13 Oct 2012

The most recent crash dump in that is the same stuff I was looking at up above, always blaming the creative labs driver.

From where I'm sitting it seems like your soundblaster device is having problems.
First thing I would suggest is a reinstall of the drivers.

Code:

Probably caused by : XENfiltv.sys ( XENfiltv+1817 )

IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL (a)
An attempt was made to access a pageable (or completely invalid) address at an
interrupt request level (IRQL) that is too high.  This is usually
caused by drivers using improper addresses.
If a kernel debugger is available get the stack backtrace.
Arguments:
Arg1: 0000000000003378, memory referenced
Arg2: 0000000000000002, IRQL
Arg3: 0000000000000001, bitfield :
    bit 0 : value 0 = read operation, 1 = write operation
    bit 3 : value 0 = not an execute operation, 1 = execute operation (only on chips which support this level of status)

Well, I uninstalled them, can I just search for the xenfiltv.sys and delete that? Or will it cause bigger problems? Do you suggest a format and clean install to ensure all of those drivers are gone?
