    BSOD right after "Starting Windows" screen goes away


    Hello All, unfortunately, I'm back again with more problems. Few weeks ago I ran into some internet problems when I'm not sure are related or not. But that went away and then my compute would freeze and I would have to reboot. After I noticed what was happening I just new BSOD was next. Yesterday was completely fine. I turned the computer on and BSOD after BSOD. I've managed to get into safemode with networking so I can make this post and it's been about.. 30mins and everything seems fine. Also I went into BIOS and heard a BEEP then the computer froze. Going to try to boot normally and see where I get if not I'll be back into safe mode waiting for further help. Thank you.

    It contains no dump file.. Do you know the error on the bsod, or the STOP code (like HIGH_IQRL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL; STOP 0xD1)

    Ok, it seems to be 0xD1, when a driver tries to access an address in the memory that, simply putting it, it isn't allowed to access. It could be a symptom for one of the following problems:
    • Driver Problem
    • Faulty RAM
    • Faulty Motherboard
    • Or another faulty device
    It is normally caused by drivers but, it could be caused by some other faulty device, especially RAM. I recommend running MEMTEST86+ for 1-4 passes (2 is the best to be sure, if you want you can do more) Here is a good guide: Guide to using Memtest86+ - Geeks to Go Forums

    Next I would put on Driver Verifier: Using Driver Verifier to identify issues with Drivers It will detect faulty drivers and BSOD when it is found.

    Now to the driver causing the issue: It seems to be PCIIDEX.SYS which is a Microsoft Driver, specifically the PCI IDE Bus Driver. BSODs are usually not caused by MS Drivers, so a BSOD pointing to it gives a bigger chance of hardware failure. Also, is it always the same, or are there random BSODs at random times?

    Got an email with your reply while I was at school. I came home booted my pc to do what you suggested and more BSOD. I got the second BSOD while in safe mode with networking. I tried safemode without and it still stuck on a black screen.

    Edit: On the laptop. I can't get any mode to work and it freezes in the BIOS.
    Edit2: Did the verifier stop..kinda afraid to reboot this PC again. Will do memtest overnight if the PC allows me.

    Update 11/26

    After the starting windows screen, I see a quick(what I think is) BSOD then monitors, keyboard etc.. loses signal and I'm forced to restart.

    After 4 freezes I finally got to my desktop and it froze.

    Hello, sorry for the late reply (I myself have been having some technical problems :P)

    Ok, I have a very strong feeling it is a hardware problem. There is all the evidence to prove it; Random errors, random drivers.

    Seems like your RAM is fine. Have you ran CHKDSK? It's really important in my opinion because the second suspect after RAM is HDD. Go into CMD (As admin) and run chkdsk /r /f and then type Y. Restart and wait. (I suggest you do this overnight because it will take hours). I hope you are able to get into the desktop long enough.

    When it freezes does it blue screen? Try to wait a while and see if it does.

    I've ran CHKDSK and sfc/ scannow yesterday and both shows no errors. I've never left it on long enough to see if it BSOD after a freeze. I'll wait it out next time to see if it will.
