Blue and Black SOD's frequently,...but comp works fine afterwards.

VegasJamie · 16 Feb 2013

Good Morning everyone,

I have posted on this site a few times, with great success from the responses I receive. Thanks in advance for your help.

My computer is two years old, and when I purchased it, I added an SSD, and an ASUS U3S6, wiped the factory HD, and did a clean install of the OS on the SSD. About two months afterwards, with no other hardware installs, I started receiving random BlackSOD's saying:

Status : 0xc000000e

Info: The boot selection failed because a required device is inaccessable.

This occurs up to today, but happens roughly once every two weeks or so. Each time I simply let the computer restart, and everything is fine.

As for the true BSOD's, those occur on roughly the same schedule, but not at the same time. I have also noticed after my computer 'awakes' it sometimes locks up, and I'm forced to hard boot. Selecting 'restart' puts the machine in limbo for almost an hour before it does so. The start menu is also back to an original state, meaning the icons are not the ones I configured, or are not there at all.

I've been patient with these problems, and don't feel as though I've done any damage to my machine,....everything works fine after an event, and I am not able to notice any performance differences. No data has been lost, either.

I'm here today to get some insight about my issue, and hope some of you can interpret my attached ZIP file...it's Russian to me....:)

Thanks again.

A bug check F4 is often storage related. Have you checked for a firmware update for your SSD?
Please follow this:

writhziden said:

If you have an SSD, make sure the following are up to date:

SSD firmware
BIOS Version
Chipset Drivers
Hard disk controller drivers/SATA drivers
If you have a Marvell IDE ATA/ATAPI device, make sure the drivers are up to date from the Intel site or Marvell site and not from your motherboard/vendor support site.

You are running multiple antivirus software, this can create serious problems.

Please remove all the programs listed below:

Code:

Start Menu\Programs\Ad-Aware Antivirus	Public:Start Menu\Programs\Ad-Aware Antivirus	Public
Start Menu\Programs\AVG	Public:Start Menu\Programs\AVG	Public

Uninstall using the free version of Revo uninstaller in advance mode to delete registry entries.

Download Revo Uninstaller Freeware - Free and Full Download - Uninstall software, remove programs, solve uninstall problems

You shouldn't be running two antivirus software: is it bad to run multiple antivirus programs? - BleepingComputer.com

Microsoft Security Essentials.

Recommended from a strict BSOD perspective, compatibility & stability compared to other antiviruses/internet security software. It is free and lightweight:-

Warning

Do not start the free trial of Malware Bytes; remember to deselect that option when prompted.

Run a full scan with both (separately) once downloaded, installed and updated.

The windows 7 operating system does not require these registry cleaning software. They often tune-down rather than tune-up and can wreck the OS beyond repair. Microsoft have improved Windows 7 significantly and it is much better at organising and optimising itself than its predecessors. Check this, this and this thread for evidence.

If you feel the need to use a registry cleaning or optimisation software, most of us recommend the use of CCleaner - PC Optimization and Cleaning - Free Download but make sure you back up the registry before making letting ccleaner delete anything. Use the in-built Disk Cleanup and Extended Disk Cleanup if required to do so, regarding de-frag utilities, I recommend yet again the in-built Disk Defragmenter - Open and Use & Puran Defrag which is much reliable compared to others.

Perform a System File Check to check the integrity of all protected Windows 7 :

Click on the start
Type CMD on Search
Left click and Run as Administrator
Type
Code:
```
SFC /scannow
```

SFC /Scannow Command - System File Checker

Disk Check on your hard drive for file system errors and bad sectors on it.

How to run Disk Check on Windows 7

Reduce items at start-up. Nothing except anti-virus is required plus improves the time for logging in windows.
