Random crashes during normal 2D operation, dumps included, help please

Uninstalled daemon tools lite and cleared up startup programs to essentials.

Just doing clean install for the nVidia latest drivers (beta) , what did you want me to post after they are done ?

Thanks for your help - much appreciated :)

Just leave the thread open and just wait to see what happens; upload any other BSODs if they occur, hopefully they won't :)

WhoCrashed says that it's dxgkrnl.sys causing the problem ?

description: DirectX Graphics Kernel
Bug check description: This indicates that the display driver failed to respond in a timely fashion.
The crash took place in a standard Microsoft module. Your system configuration may be incorrect. Possibly this problem is caused by another driver on your system which cannot be identified at this time.

DirectX rarely is the true cause of BSODs with Windows 7, the key thing to remember is that, dumps do not always tend to point to the true cause of the crash. A common example is with the Windows Kernel being blamed.

If a third-party driver is blamed then it is usually always correct :)

thanks for your continued help through this , really appreciated

Thought it was all good but it's still looping/ buzzing sound and mouse freezing for a second or so Hasn't crashed yet...

Run a full scan with avast and also use Malwarebytes:

• Malwarebytes : Free anti-malware download

Remember to install the free version of Malwarebytes not the free trail; untick the free trail box during installation.

Hard Drive:

• Disk Check
• CrystalDiskInfo - Software - Crystal Dew World
• SeaTools for Windows | Seagate

Post a screenshot of the Crystal Disk Info summary:

• Screenshots and Files - Upload and Post in Seven Forums

Scan for corrupted or missing Windows files with:

• SFC /SCANNOW : Run in Command Prompt at Boot

Good to know, that at least a BSOD hasn't occurred :)

Well I don't know what did it but one of those suggestions seems to have done the trick *touch wood*

:):):)

Which one was it? It's good to know everything seems to be running stable :)

Just when you think it's all gone......


Think I will do a clean install when I have the chance, this is getting tiresome!
