    Rare But Persistent BSODs. Most Shown to be Caused by ntoskrnl.exe?


    It's been a little over a year since I built a custom computer, and for some odd reason it gets around four BSODs a month. I'll either get one while surfing the web, playing a game, or doing anything really. I've analyzed the dump files with WhoCrashed and it shows that ntoskrnl.exe is "probably" the cause of most the crashes. I don't know if that's really the case, but If I could get some help on this issue, I would really appreciate it.

    I've included the SF Diagnostic Tool's gathered files in a zip.

    That issue is not very rare, but rather frequent. Some malfunction in the storage subsystem. Most possibly a loose connection or a disc corruption.

    Reseat the sata and power.


    Also, if possible, change the SATA cable. Apply the SATA cable to another unused port on the motherboard. Make it sure that there is no loose connectio in the SATA connecting. Check all the screws holding the HDD with the stand. Make it sure all those are properly screwed.

    Test your HDD using Data Lifeguard Diagnostic for Windows. Also let us see a screenshot of your hdd using CrystalDiskInfo - Software - Crystal Dew World .

    Will decide the further steps seeing the results.

    KERNEL_DATA_INPAGE_ERROR (7a)
    The requested page of kernel data could not be read in.  Typically caused by
    a bad block in the paging file or disk controller error. Also see
    KERNEL_STACK_INPAGE_ERROR.
    If the error status is 0xC000000E, 0xC000009C, 0xC000009D or 0xC0000185,
    it means the disk subsystem has experienced a failure.
    If the error status is 0xC000009A, then it means the request failed because
    a filesystem failed to make forward progress.
    Arguments:
    Arg1: fffff6fb80000000, lock type that was held (value 1,2,3, or PTE address)
    Arg2: ffffffffc000009d, error status (normally i/o status code)
    Arg3: 00000000ca3d6880, current process (virtual address for lock type 3, or PTE)
    Arg4: fffff70000000008, virtual address that could not be in-paged (or PTE contents if arg1 is a PTE address)

    Seems like you have several HD-related BSoDs:

    BugCheck 7A, {20, ffffffffc000009d, fffffa800746c7c8, 0}

    "The KERNEL_DATA_INPAGE_ERROR bug check has a value of 0x0000007A. This bug check indicates that the requested page of kernel data from the paging file could not be read into memory. "

    "0xC000009D, or STATUS_DEVICE_NOT_CONNECTED, indicates defective or loose cabling, termination, or that the controller does not see the hard disk."
    BugCheck 9F, {3, fffffa800432c050, fffff80000b9c3d8, fffffa8008ee7c60}

    Check the SATA-cables, disconnect them and then connect them again, also update the drivers for your SATA-controller:

    Alright, I checked the sata connections, replugged them and I changed the sata cable and port that goes to the HDD. The HDD did pass the Data Lifeguard test successfully and I've updated the old drivers. Here is also the screenshot you requested:

    Thanks for all the help, guys! Now I'll just have to wait and see if that fixed the problem.
