Numerous BSOD's, with several different error reports

Raemir · 31 Oct 2012

Hello everyone,

for some weeks now I am having some serious problems with my computer. Often when I am playing a game, viewing Youtube or sometimes even during simple web surfing or typing, my computer will crash and show a BSOD. These BSOD's most often have the error "Memory management" but I have seen some other error messages too ("IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL", "BAD_POOL_HEADER" etc.).

Now this wouldn't be a huge problem if my computer would just reboot, but since a week or 2 this isn't the case: I often have to restart it about 10-20 times untill it finally reaches the desktop again. When it doesn't reach the desktop, then it crashes in the bios, at Windows startup or even without showing any display at all.

Even worse; I tried the sfc /scannow command three times allready (after reading other threads on this forum) and during this process it crashed twice on 56% and once around 15%, with generally the same BSOD error messages.

I attached the crash dump as requested in this forum and I really hope you guys can of any help. I tried at lot of things allready, including swapping the RAM and graphic card (my CPU-Z will show a Radeon HD5450 instead of my normal Radeon HD5770, but this gave the same problems), deinstalling unnecessary programs and updating the bios.

I am really looking forward to your responses and I hope you will be able to help me.

Greetings and thanks in advance,
Thomas

Hi

Any particular reason for not updating to Service Pack 1?

Hey guys,

sorry for the slow response, but I am at my parents' house in the weekends. I will upload the required information on monday and perform the tests to rule out any hardware problems.

The reason no updates were installed is because I did a fresh reinstall of Windows in an attempt to resolve the problems. I tried installing the updates through Windows Update last friday, but after update number 11 or so (of ~100 updates) it crashed once again.
