Stable for the last five hours since I changed the power settings to the ones you set.
What did you change in the power settings???
Here is the minidump from the crash I had after we turned of DV and changed the power settings back....
I changed the CPU minimum to 50% from the default 5%.
I had a hunch about the fact that your PC was stable with DV enabled, meaning it was working harder than normal.
So by changing the Power-Saving I'm preventing the CPU clock from dropping to low.
ran through the night fine, however when I went to wake it up this morning from sleep, it crashed. I"m attaching the crash dump. If you are right that it is somehow a low power to the processor problem, it could be the transistion from sleep to active that did this. Here is the dump file.
Download and install | Aida64 - TrailLaunch the tool.
Go to: Tools> System Stability Test (don't run the test).Take a screenshot of the Statistics Tab with different configurations:
- Working off of the battery alone. (Name the file Config A)
(Screenshot after 15min) - Before each new configuration Click the "Clear" button at the bottom of the Statistics tab.
- working with the battery and plugged into the power-brick. (Name the file Config B)
(Screenshot after 15min)
- Shutdown the PC completely! and unplug the power-brick, before you continue!
- Without the battery inserted into the PC, plugged into the power-brick. (Name the file Config C)
(Screenshot after 15min)
I updated that value added driver, and I"m worried that may be the source of the crashes, I did a system restore, but I don't know where to check the date on the driver. I'm going to see if it crashes now that I did the system restore.
Also the program you told me to download doesn't show all those details on the trial version, all I am getting is CPU temps.
The errors I am getting are different from before. Apparently I switched the dumps to kernal dumps at some point, so I missed them. I however just got the last one as a mini dump and the last kernal dump I was able to compress to a reasonable size. Here they both are.
The last dumps are corrupt.
The Kernel Dump option is the default in Windows 7, minidumps are still getting created in C:\Windows\minidump folder.
It's due to it being a laptop.
I find Aida64 more reliable that is why I opted to use it, but it doesn't answer our needs this time.
Follow what I asked above but only with CPUID - HWMonitor
okay, so now the computer is totally screwed I think. It has started failing at windows start.
I tried running system restore, but it crashes at the start of system restore.
I tried running system restore from the install disk, and it gave me the system_management_error BSOD there also.
Not sure if there is anything I can do now...
I was going to see if DV would stabilize it again, so I turned it on..., but that shouldn't be running when I put in the install disk.
