    Frequent BSOD after reinstall


    Hey, a couple days ago my computer froze on me while playing Farcry 3. After rebooting it Windows failed to start.Used recovery disk to do system recovery, only to have a BSOD after 5 minutes and windows failing to boot again. Unable to do recovery again, I decided to format my primary hard drive and reinstall a clean windows version. Since then I have however been experiencing frequent and seemingly random BSODs.

    Some things I have already attempted:
    - Opened up my desktop and checked connections
    - run memtest86+ (overnight, 5 passes), no errors found
    - run CHKDSK on my C: drive, no errors found
    - Run SFC.EXE /SCANNOW, some errors fixed but problem not fixed
    - run Full diagnostic scan of the Intel SSD toolbox, no issues

    Unfortunately the installation appears non-genuine.
    The Key is that of an Asus OEM computer - and the motherboard is a retail one by MSI
    This implies that an Activation Exploit is in use to bypass activation and validation requirements.

    You need to reformat and reinstall with genuine media and Key.

    Fair enough. I just used to first windows .iso I could get my hands on, which happened to be a modified version which never allowed me to enter a key. I have tracked down an original cd and reinstalled accordingly with a genuine key. For completeness sake I included a genuine advantage diagnostic report below.

    With regards to the issue of BSODs the reinstall did not solve anything. I am still having frequent BSODs. They seem more frequent when I am trying watch netflix or youtube, but also occur when the machine is idling. They occur 15 to 60 minutes apart and I personally suspect it is an hardware issue. I have attached a new crash report below

    An update:

    After looking at some other threads here I realised that I should update any old driver I had. So I looked the manufacturer of my motherboard and updated my usb 3.0, sound, ethernet and some USB 1.0 filter driver from AMD. I also tried to do some windows updates, but some of them keep failing and giving errors messages.

    During this my system was essentially idling and I did not experience any crashes. Afterwards I decide to try netflix and within 5 minutes the silverlight plugin in chrome crashed twice. I reinstalled silverlight and tried again, only to get BSOD 2 minutes later. I attached a new report to this post

    I can see no problems with the licensing. It's an MAK Volume license, rather than an OEM one - where did you acquire this from?

    The MSDNAA program of www.ma3d.com. This allows free downloading of a lot of software for employees and students of Belgian and Dutch universities.

    However, Northernsoul55 was correct that the software was initially non-genuine. I no longer have the original downloaded .iso and the MSDNAA website alone supports windows 8 now, so I had to resort to "alternative measures" in order to reinstall windows. The version I used turned out to be modified and did not allow me to enter or change the license key at all, so I reinstalled later with a clean windows 7 .iso and my genuine key.

    That explains a lot :)
    There is still one anomaly, though - the system claims to have a Win7 SLIC table.

    This would imply that it was from a major OEM with Windows pre-installed.
    However, since this is a custom-build, there shouldn't be any SLIC table.
    That being the case, we are left with two potential causes.

    1) someone has at some stage attempted to mod the BIOS to include the table - and this has either broken down, or never worked properly.
    2) there is still a Loader present, and this has broken down

    If the former, then all bets are off as to what else may be affected - if the latter, then the reinstall wasn't as clean as you thought!

    Hmm, that doesn't sound good. As far as I know the bios has not been modified or updated at all. I will check if the hash code of the disk I am using now matches the one from this link Hash codes for x64&#63; - Microsoft Community.

    Assuming the hash code matches, would a bios update fix the issue?

    No - BIOS updates are designed (supposedly) not to touch the SLIC table if present.

    Depending on the source of your motherboard, it could simply be that the distributor applied a SLIC table, and then (inefficiently) removed it when they discovered overstocking - in which case there isn't a problem. It's also possible that the table was intact, but something as small as cosmic radiation flipped a bit in that area and the certificate got broken that way (it happens).

    So long as the rest of the BIOS is unaffected, then it shouldn't affect Windows at all.

    Hi,
    Firstly please install Windows Service Pack 1 as it will increase system stability.
    Then once installed please run Windows Updates and install all the latest updates.
    (With the exception of any Graphics drivers)
    http://windows.microsoft.com/is-IS/windows7/install-windows-7-service-pack-1
    http://windows.microsoft.com/is-IS/windows/service-packs-download#sptabs=win7

    From your latest dump files:

    Have you updated the firmware for your Intel SSD 510?
    https://downloadcenter.intel.com/Detail_Desc.aspx?agr=Y&DwnldID=18363

    These drivers are causing issues:
    Code:
    ERROR: Module load completed but symbols could not be loaded for atikmdag.sys
    Dated: Thu Mar 21 02:39:42 2013
    Relates to: ATI Video driver
    This driver appears to be the latest, if you have just updated it are you
    able to rollback the driver to a previous one?
    If that is not possible uninstall and try this one:
    (Only install the driver)
    http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownload/windows/Pages/radeonaiw_vista64.aspx

    Code:
    ERROR: Module load completed but symbols could not be loaded for MpFilter.sys
    Dated: Wed Oct 31 22:43:06 2012 
    Relates to: Microsoft Windows AntiMalware protection system
    (Windows update should update this driver)
    Run SFC again, what was the outcome?:
    Click on the Start > Type in search cmd
    Right click cmd at top and Run as Administrator
    Type SFC /scannow at the prompt
    (Note: there is a space between SFC and /scannow)

    https://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/1538-sfc-scannow-command-system-file-checker.html

    Please update your BIOS now we know its ok to do so, there is a newer version available dated 2012:

    Code:
     
    [BIOS Information (Type 0) - Length 24 - Handle 0000h]
      Vendor                        American Megatrends Inc.
      BIOS Version                  V18.0
      BIOS Starting Address Segment f000
      BIOS Release Date             12/31/2010
      BIOS ROM Size                 200000
    http://uk.msi.com/product/mb/890FXA-GD65.html#/?div=BIOS

       Warning
    Please follow the manufacturer's instructions carefully when updating the BIOS, as incorrectly updated, may render your computer unusable!!


    Run memtest again. This time Run for 8 passes and test each stick in a know good slot for an additional 6 passes. (Follow the tutorial closley)
    https://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/105647-ram-test-memtest86.html
       Tip
    Run these tests overnight


    Post back any result/observations or a new Crash dump if you BSOD after you
    have completed the above.
    Cheers
