Numerous BSODs at various times doing various things
Hi,
My system has been crashing on a regular basis for the last month or two. Here's what I've done:
Ran MEMTEST86+. No problems.
Ran a CPU stress test. No problems.
Ran CHKDSK on the drives after crashes. Various problems fixed on various drives.
Ran sfc /scannow. No problems reported.
Checked all connections in the PC, specially the power connections. Nothing obviously wrong.
Visually inspected the motherboard for problems. Nothing seen.
Reseated the video and memory cards.
Bought a new motherboard, CPU and DVD RW. The components that remain from the old system are the memory (but only running half of the DIMMs), the 750W power supply, the drives, the video card and the case. Still having problems.
Ran the diagnostics package provided by ASUS. After running the stress tests for several hours, the diagnostic would report that all was well and then the system would BSOD a few minutes later.
Some crashes seem to occur after the system wakes up from Sleep.
Because the new CPU has integrated graphics, I removed the video card. Still having problems.
Noticed the suggestion to use Driver Verifier in this forum. Enabled Driver Verifier yesterday following the instructions in the Driver Verifier thread. The system crashed when trying to start Windows 7. Tried it several times and then turned off Driver Verifier in Safe Mode this morning.
I've attached the information described as needed for BSOD analysis. This includes some dumps from the Driver Verifier and some from before I enabled it (some are probably from the old motherboard/CPU). I've used a program called "Who Crashed" to analyze the dumps, but they point to various core MS drivers (when using Driver Verifier, I only enabled checking for the non-MS drivers).
Any ideas where the problem is?
P.S. Thanks in advance for your help. In looking at the other threads, you guys seem pretty awesome!
