    Seemingly random BSODs after clean installation of win 7


    So I freshly installed Windows 7 ultimate 64 bit, and experienced a BSOD shortly after loading the desktop. Also, the PC seems to crash regularly during high stress games.

    I have attached the results from the SF diagnostic tool. I appreciate any insight in to the matter!

    There are no dump files in the file you uploaded. Please make sure you are configured for Small Memory Dumps Dump Files - Configure Windows to Create on BSOD then Make sure you have a folder named Minidump in C:windows, if you don't have a C:Windows/Minidump folder, create one .

    Please fill out your System Specs

       Information
    Your System Specs will help us to help you, and doing it in this manner will make them available to all helpers in every post and keep us from hunting for them. We ask that you fill them out in as much detail as possible including Desktop or Laptop, Model number if it is an OEM computer and all components with the Manufacturer and Model number if possible.

    If you will go to your last post and click the 'System Specs' in the bottom left of the post, you will find a link to update your system specs. Please fill those out in as much detail as possible, making sure to click save at the bottom of the page. If you would like to know what we would like, you can click 'My System Specs' at the bottom left of this post to see mine. If you do not know what your components are, this will help you accomplish this task. System Info - See Your System Specs


    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.

    Hi, thank you very much for your detailed reply. You are correct, I had kernel memory dump selected. It's only a matter of time before it will BSOD again (I have small memory dump enabled now).

    I updated my system specs in my profile with the results of running that utility (thanks again).

    I am currently running sfc /scannow, I will post the results when it is complete and include another file (with the dump) as soon as I receive another BSOD.

    Again, thank you very much for the detailed reply.

    Will post back with more details.

    No problem. Just let me know in a new post in this thread. Just so you know, if you edit a previous post, I will not know about it, but if you put it in a new post I will be notified. So, always do a new post with any new info.
