Win7 x64 - Plethora of BSODs - At my wit's end
As the topic says - I'm at my wit's end, and this is why:
• Bought a new computer, hand picked quality components, assembled with care
• Win7 x64 [retail] installs without problems, but is as unstable as can be
• The symptoms include - but are not limited to - the following:
- perhaps the most noticeable: an almost guaranteed BSOD at about 10 minutes uptime after a longer period of being switched off• I've tried all I could think of - including, but -again- not limited to the following:
- occasional random BSODs during normal operation
- crashing windows components and applications, including MSIE, firefox, skype, live messenger
- basically every single application has crashed at least once
- sometimes it happens that an app keeps crashing immediately after I try to start it, only to regain normal functionality after the next reboot
- it may even happen that right after logging on, I get a cascade of error messages of all startup apps as well as numerous starting win components such as services, and all there's left to do is to reboot
- BIOS update• An excerpt of my BSODs, loosely sorted by frequency:
- vanilla install
- like above, but with latest windows updates
- like above, but with latest drivers for mainboard and video card
- surface scans of all hard disks
- thorough tests with memtest86+ (twice, 12+h each, not a single error)
- hour long stress test with Everest Ultimate
- removal of all non essential peripherals
- 0x19 BAD_POOL_HEADERI have attached an archive of the 21 minidumps that I have collected in the past 8 days since my latest OS re-install. please let me know if you need any further details, I will be happy to reply asap.
- 0x24 NTFS_FILE_SYSTEM
- 0x1A MEMORY_MANAGEMENT
- 0x0A IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL
- 0x3B SYSTEM_SERVICE_EXCEPTION
- 0x50 PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA
- 0x1E KMODE_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED
- 0xC5 DRIVER_CORRUPTED EXPOOL
Until then, I'm more than curious to hear your opinions and experiences, basically anything that will help me establish and maintain a permanently stable situation!
