    occasional BSOD


    Hi guys,
    this is my third posting today on the same issue.
    For some reason, I receive an email that somebody has answered my post and when i click on the link I get invalid thread "no thread specified", so I cannot see the answer.

    I am experiencing occasional BS and need to know what drivers are causing this.
    I include a zip file of SF diagnostics.

    thanks

    Might not be a driver, might be a dodgy controller on the SSD? Does Corsair use Sandforce? There are numerous complaints about those if you scout around a bit.

    I looked sandforce up, and yes apparently they do use this.
    My knowledge of computers is not that great, so i cannot analyze the zip file i sent you.
    Does it say it's the SSD?

    I can't open that file and chances are it would just confuse me. However, if you have any valuable data on that drive I would back it up NOW, if you have not already done so. Your problem reminded me of a situation I had two years ago. Occasional BSOD's which I blamed on software. They kept getting more and more prevalent until it would not boot. At that point it only took a short while to ascertain that my wonderful Mushkin SSD had cashed out. Banged in a spare M4 and all was well. Let's hope your ailment is just software. I would start by unloading the AV and see what happens. Then on and on......I hope someone else has better advice than mine.

    The zip you uploaded does not contain any crash dump. Some other important files are missing, too.

    Follow it: Dump Files - Configure Windows to Create on BSOD
    Go to Option Two, Point 2. Download the .reg file and merge it in registry by double clicking it.

    Now wait for another BSOD. When it occurred, search the .dmp files manually in the default path: C:\Windows\Minidump or %SystemRoot%\Minidump. See if the crash dump is recorded or not (hopefully it will be recorded).Post it following the Blue Screen of Death (BSOD) Posting Instructions.
