Random BSOD's while gaming/watching movies/browsing internet-ntoskrnl

Taqar · 29 Sep 2013

Okay I've had a few more BSOD's at this point, not including the one from my previous post. The related minidumps are attached. I've also gone through my BIOS and made those RAM changes, I wasn't deliberately overclocking so it must've been something I turned on with another option somewhere, either way fixed now. I've taken new screenshots just in case I missed something; CPUz- CPU, SPD Slot 1, SPD Slot 3, Memory.
Also Speccy, Core Temp, and HWMonitor (Still reading 10° hotter than speccy and core temp). And as requested the HDD screen shots; one, two, and three.

Edit: When I was in the BIOS setting the RAM timings there were several more on "auto" that seemed low as well, should I worry about those too or leave them on the auto settings?

Edit2: Since my whole system seems to be averaging just under 40°C I can understand why with air cooling my CPU wouldn't be at 20°. I'll check the temp again in the morning right after I boot it up and see what I get.

Make scans with these tools -

Reduce the start-up items, Antivirus software is basically whats required.

ASACPI.sys - REMOVED
nusb3hub.sys - UPDATED (‎Monday, ‎August ‎27, ‎2012, ‏‎7:39:16 PM)
nusb3xhc.sys - UPDATED (Monday, ‎August ‎27, ‎2012, ‏‎7:39:20 PM)
Updated the firmware as well, there were 2 choices for the updates @ station-drivers I went with the uPD720200 version as my chipset seems to lineup with that one the best (NEC D720200F1).

I've already run scans with both of those with no issues.

Still running on reduced start-up options

OK, things look a lot better now. I'd like you to turn off the computer and grab the CPU cooler and try to move it. It should be securely attached to the computer and not move. The can sometimes get loose by themselves. Also, never use more than 1 temp monitoring program at a time. With more than 1 reading the same sensor, at the same time can cause false readings. Now that the ram is running at different speed and timings, run memtest86+ again.

With air or water cooling you will never get below ambient temps, but 50C is 122F, which is pretty warm. What are the temps in the room where your computer is? that is a determining factor. All air coolers use the air to remove heat. If it's using hot air, it can't remove as much heat.

You can use this tool to remove the AI Suite. It causes some people a lot of problems. If nothing else helps, we may get you to remove the old cooler, clean the old paste and re apply new thermal paste. It's pretty simple to do and can help a lot if done right.

After following Kookat's instructions, if you still have BSODs, I'd like you to restart the computer and boot into safe mode with networking and see how you get along. See if you get BSODs in Safe mode.

Yeah I'm pretty much sticking to Core Temp now for monitoring, it has a plugin for my keyboard display which is convenient.
I'll be out a most of the day today so I can get the memtest done, at least a few passes, and can do it again tonight.
The CPU Cooler is still securely mounted, there's no give to it at all.
The ambient temp varies with the weather but is cooling down here, yesterday it was about 70°F in the room, today is looking like 60-65.

Really appreciate the help both of you have given me so far, Thanks.

Edit: Oh forgot to post Coldstart temps;CPU ~35° with Core Temp and Speccy, 48° with HWMonitor. (Each one run seperately)

Have you tried Safe Mode with Networking?

Taqar · 01 Oct 2013

No I haven't tried safe mode at all. However, since updating and removing those drivers and ensuring proper clock speeds I haven't had any more issues. Went all day yesterday without a crash and my CPU is stable at 40°. I did uninstall AI Suite just to be safe. Going to mark this as resolved if I make it through the end of the day with no issues. Thanks again for all of the help.

You're very welcome. I hope it continues working right. If you have further problems, we'll be right here. Good luck to you.
