BSOD after about 40 minutes of run time.

ripski · 27 Dec 2012

Hi

I really hope you can help. I built a PC for a mate. It was great until after about 1 month it started freezing when windows 7 was booting up. I tried to reinstall the OS but that froze also at different stages of install. To cut a long story short I swapped the GX card and RAM, then the MB but still had the same issue. I them swapped the CPU. This worked and I re-installed the OS. About a week later it started freezing on win7 boot screen again. I replace the CPU again and all was great. Soon though I started getting a BSOD after about 40 minutes of run time. I have tried installing the OS again but the old issue happens when it freezes during set-up. I have wasted and lot of time and money on this and now have come across this fab site. I hope I have uploaded the correct files. Thanks.

Hello ripski, Welcome to SF

Just ran your dump file which is slightly inconclusive, if you have more please post a few more recent ones for comparison
dump states error code 0xDE POOL_CORRUPTION_IN_FILE_AREA
as you have already changed several components my initial thought would be to check HDD

Thanks for the quick response.

I have just got the PC back from my mate. I updated the firmware of the SSD and messed around opening pictures to see if I still got the BSOD. I did after about 30 minutes and have attached the new file. Thank you for your help.

Run memtest to analyse ram, leave to run overnight preferably or ideally min 7-8 passes
RAM - Test with Memtest86+

will have a look at drivers etc and come back

**Pauly** · 31 Dec 2012

Your graphics drivers are mentioned in the second dump and they do not look very recent i would recommend updating them
Do not install beta drivers stick with official releases preferably WHQL certified and after uninstalling old ones you can run Drivers - Clean Left over Files after Uninstalling to clear out old before installing new as this can sometimes cause conflicts

ripski · 01 Jan 2013

I uninstalled the video drivers and ran the Driver Sweep, great little app btw. Installed the latest drivers and so far it's looking promising. My mate will be giving a good test now so fingers crossed. If it does BSOD again I will run memtest.

Thanks for your help so far Pauly, I will post back if the problem has been resolved.

**Pauly** · 01 Jan 2013

Good mate sounds like progress, memtest would be the next step and again if you get any more dumps post them and we can have a look :)

ripski · 07 Jan 2013

Well, just got the PC back from my mate...BSOD a plenty! Ran Memtest86 and got an error after about 90 seconds. I have swapped over my RAM with his and he has taken it away for testing. I on the other hand are waiting for a BSOD :) I hope I have now found the problem and I will let ya know how it goes.

Thanks.

**Pauly** · 07 Jan 2013

OK what a kind friend you are ! let us know if you need anything

ripski · 27 Jan 2013

Well good news. My mates computer is stable and mine hasn't crashed either. Not sure why the memory module is stable on by rig but my mates doesn't ring me up everyday complaining about his PC. Thanks for your help, it was all down to you :)
