    Random BSOD's at random times often error 0x0000001E


    Hello,
    after searching through many forums and Windows help sites i still can't help myself to find, why i am getting these bluescreens. I even installed Windows completely new, but after installing the Realtek GBE network driver (manually, cause Windows didn't find it) the 'fun' began again. I removed all Realtek drivers again and installed the latest i could find on the Realtek site and it seemed to run smoothly. Then i downloaded all the other drivers like the AMD Graphics and Soundblaster Z driver and installed them. The BSOD's came/come completely random. Today i've been able to play three Dota 2 matches without any problems, then 15 minutes later again. I also have to say this system ran like this for half a year without almost any problems or BSOD's. It somehow became slow and i tried stuff, broke it and now it seems still broken, although i formatted the drive and reinstalled Windows.

    I've tried to debug the minidumps myself but it says something different evertime (I'll add the dmp files at the end, although there has not always been one created after a BSOD). I've tried reinstalling all the drivers and no help. I've put all stuff from AMD/ATI into the exception of Avira Antivirus, because i've read there might be interferences.

    I ran MEMTEST86+ for like 3 hours - no errors. I have ran disk scans - nothing.

    The BSOD is different every time. The time i get it is completely random. The only common i could recognize is that STOP: 0x0000001E (0x0000000000000, 0x0000000000000, 0x0000000000000, 0x0000000000000) seems to happen every fifth time or so. I also recognized that after a BSOD the sound is completely disabled until i restart, then everything is fine, except that the windows start up sound is stopping playback after some miliseconds.

    The system specifications should be all in my profile. All Windows Updates have been installed and all drivers should be up to date.

    Please help me im getting frustrated(got a BSOD while writing this, like if it doesn't want to get help).

    Thanks in advance

    That is your Graphics card. Please download the latest WHQL or and earlier WHQL driver if you have the latest. Then uninstall your current drivers, after that follow this tutorial Drivers - Clean Left over Files after Uninstalling and select ATI Display Drivers only. Then install the new driver you just downloaded, but this time select custom install, only install the things you actually use and need. The only think you actually need is the Display Driver, you do not need CCC. Try that and see if it is any better.

    Thank you very much my Jedi Master for this this fast and informative reply, i'll try that as soon as i'm getting home.

    There's currently a MEMTEST86+ running, because i wanted to put the RAM completely off the guilty list. This morning after 8 hours it was still without errors, but to make sure i'm gonna let it run a few more hours until i'm home again.

    Anyway you're saying its the Avira Software and the ATI Graphics driver. Does that mean i can hope all the hardware components like soundcard, cpu, mainboard itself and graphics card are okay?

    I am asking this because here:

    it only says something about hardware and an in the dmp files often appearing ntkernel.

    Uninstall Avira with the Avira Removal Tool Avira AntiVir Removal Tool - Download
    The tool you link there is not a removal tool for Avira itself it's a removal tool for virus or malware right ?
    I guess you're talking about something like that: Antivirus Remover ?

    Last question: Should i use the beta driver af ATI ? Because i recently updated my BIOS to the latest version and i'm thinking it may help to have the really latest graphics driver although its beta.

    I guess you are correct about the Avira link. Memtest86+ should run for a minimum of 8 passes to be close to certain. The Avira and your graphics driver are what showed in the dump files you uploaded. As you point out, Hardware was also mentioned, and can't be ruled out right now. I hope you downloaded memtest from here Memtest86+ - Advanced Memory Diagnostic Tool. It is the best and most reliable memory test we have, and needs to be run for a minimum of 8 passes.

    I still need the Blue Screen of Death (BSOD) Posting Instructions. Use option #2 and press the grab all and upload the results with your next post, please. Give it time, it takes a few minutes to complete.

    So here are the files. Im now gonna try reinstalling WHQL graphics driver and uninstalling Avira as u told.
    Btw MEMTEST86+ (yes i downloaded it from there) ran 14 hours and did 6.2 passes without a single error. I know u said minimum of 8, but i takes 2.3 hours for one pass and i don't have that much time.

    Should i use the beta driver af ATI ? Because i recently updated my BIOS to the latest version and i'm thinking it may help to have the really latest graphics driver although its beta.
    EDIT: Reinstalling AMD WHQL screen graphics driver only(not the beta one) and uninstalling Avira completely was successful. Let' see how it goes. I want to install Avira again as soon as possible, because i had already too many shit going down, not having protection.

    Every dump file shows the Windows Kernel as the cause, which isn't possible unless there have been some changes or corruption to the system files. Every dump file almost, shows a different error code, which in normal circumstances is usually memory.
    Check and make sure your SSD firmware is up to date, also run Disk Check and run your Manufacturer's diagnostic tool for your other hard drives. You may be able to find it here Hard Drive Diagnostics Tools and Utilities (Storage) - TACKtech Corp. otherwise you can use Seatools and run the short and long test.

    Be sure to create a restore point before enabling this.

    Driver Verifier - Enable and Disable
    Run Driver Verifier for 24 hours or the occurrence of the next crash, whichever is earlier.
       Information

    What is Driver Verifier:
    It puts stress on the drivers, and therefore it makes the unstable drivers crash. Hopefully the driver that crashes is recorded in the memory dump.


    How we know that DV is enabled:
    It will make the system bit slow and sluggish.
       Warning

    Before enabling DV, make it sure that you have earlier System restore points made in your computer.

    If there are no Restore points, make a System Restore Point manually before enabling DV.


       Tip





    Let us know the results, with the subsequent crash dumps, if any.

    Both Harddrives passed the Seatools long test.

    Latest BSOD:

    STOP: 0x0000001E (0x0000000000000, 0x0000000000000, 0x0000000000000, 0x0000000000000)

    again after 3 min of Browsing with Chrome Canary. Mindump file 090114-11546-01 in the zip. Going to use DriverVerifier now

    When you set driver verifier did you select all drivers not from Microsoft? What it's blaming is a Microsoft driver for your CPU.

    Code:
     lmvm amdppm
    start             end                 module name
    fffff880`045c1000 fffff880`045d6000   amdppm     (pdb symbols)          c:\symcache\amdppm.pdb\AB154B73C6884E70807CA6407175368D1\amdppm.pdb

    Please disable driver verifier, then boot into windows after a reboot and

    Open a elevated command prompt ( click start, type cmd in the search box, right click on the cmd entry and select run as administrator) in the black box that opens, copy/paste sfc /scannow. If you decide to type it, notice the space between the sfc and the /. It is a system file checker which will scan your system files and attempt to correct any missing or corrupt files. What we want are the results to say windows found no integrity violations. If it says files were found but could not be repaired, close the box, reboot and run it again, after opening the administrative command prompt. You may have to reboot and run it three times for it to repair all system files. If it can't repair them after 3 reboots, let us know.

    Then re enable Driver verifier going by the instructions in the link above and select all drivers not supplied by Microsoft. Unselect anything that is supplied by Microsoft.
