Continuous BSOD no matter what (Minidumps and other data included)

essenbe · 29 Jun 2015

Could you help me out a little? The 100 MB partition should say Healthy (System, Active, Primary Partition) and your C drive should say Healthy (Boot, Page File, Crash Dump, Primary Partition). I think it is right, but is that what it says?

As far as the Windows Keys, the key stays with the computer it is on, no matter what hard drive you are installing to. I sure wish you had a spare hard drive so you wouldn't have to mess up your installation on your other computer.

When it will not boot, what error message do you see? Does it say no bootable device found, or is it some other error? The screen going black could be a graphics problem, but I wouldn't think it would cause a very slow boot. Are you sure there are no Gigabyte Utilities installed and which anti virus do you have installed? Also, please excuse me if these questions have been answered before. We may try a couple of other things before a clean install.

Yes. That is precisely what it says.

Good to know about the cd keys.

It does not say no bootable device found or any other error, it is just slow. In normal case it should flash the motherboard screen when you have that 0,1second time to hit f12 for BIOS. It doesn't let me get even there atm. I'm not so sure about installed gigabyte utilities and im using default Windows Security Essentials.

Now I got another BSOD, twice in a row. At boot, when it says "Welcome", just before bringing me to desktop, it flashes a black screen and then gives a bluescreen which lasts for 1-2seconds. Happened again when it rebooted automatically. I shut it down manually from power button and let it be for a minute and then it came back alive but still this slower boot occurred.

Any possibility the motherboard is unstable as hell?

CBS files attached. Sfc /scannow is clean.

You are getting an error 116 which is always a Graphics code.

That is your Intel HD Graphics Please go to https://downloadcenter.intel.com/ 0r your Motherboard's site GIGABYTE - Motherboard - Socket 1150 - GA-H97N-WIFI (rev. 1.0) and update the driver, preferably from your Motherboard's site,

Jampaque, I also note that your ;Who Crashed' lists your driver as Windows 8 and you are running Windows 7. However most of the Graphics drivers are for 7 or 8. If there is a distinction, be sure to choose the one that says Windows 7.

Hi again,

I had problems getting into Windows, since first it did the same bluescreen and I could only start in safe mode to get into desktop. After 2 or 3 boots, it stopped doing even bluescreening and only I got was a black screen without anything. I pressed the power button and it took for ~five seconds (as if you were on Windows, otherwise it would shut down immediately) and cut down the power from my power supply for a while. When I booted now, it brought me to Windows through welcome screen.

I installed the newest drivers from Intel website, since drivers downloaded from Gigabyte site said that they're much older than the current ones I had. When booted, it was way much faster it used to be, as it should with an SSD. However, it STILL didn't give BIOS flash screen with that motherboard logo it typically does, or should? Is this an issue? I've struggled also with this from the beginning and found clearing CMOS (touching pins with a metal object as motherboard manual advices to do) helping with the issue.

Question: I'm installing a new motherboard to my own PC, both the old and the new are Asrock production. Do I have to reinstall Windows or should it boot from an SSD just like before?

Cheers!

You will have to do a clean install when changing Motherboards.

Jampaque · 20 Jul 2015

Unfortunately I have to return here again, so hello!

The PC had been working fine for a week or two and I installed an external GPU of mine, old Sapphire HD4850. This haven't afflicted any bluescreens though. It happened again after last time I installed Windows updates! Could you check what was the reason? File attached. /sfc scannow was clean.

If it is a Windows update, should I just disable all updates since it has been now twice an update was behind the bluescreens? I know updates improve general stability, security (and also slow your computer and fill up your storage) but I'm getting a bit doubtful with this.

Jampaque, do you have, or can you borrow an extra hard drive just for a few days so we can test it? In the mean time see if you can update your Intel Wireless adapter.

Jampaque · 20 Jul 2015

Yes, I can take an SSD from my own pc but when doing so I suppose this doesn't recognize the Win7 installed in it. I have an old 80gb HDD though which is hooked but empty in the other pc. If I install Windows there, how can we know whether it's the hard drive or the Windows? What do you want me to do with the extra hard drive? Did you find anything in the file I attached?

I have checked my drivers with Intel driver update utility. It shows I have installed wireless driver version 17.16.0.4 which seems to be the newest one available.

What I would like to do is disconnect all hard drives, connect the 80 GB drive and install Windows. Do not install any Motherboard drivers, install all of the Windows recommended and important updates. Keep checking for updates until there are no more. The only driver I want you to have is the wireless driver from Gigabyte if that is how you connect to the internet or the Lan driver if you use a wired connection. Install Microsoft Security Essentials Microsoft Security Essentials - Microsoft Windows as an AV. Then look in device manager and post a screenshot of Device Manager Screenshots and Files - Upload and Post in Seven Forums. Any yellow icons in Device Manager, expand the it by clicking the small triangle next to it so I can see what it is. Don't install anything else right now. For the time being, do not reconnect the other hard drives.

When you get to the part in the installation where you put in your product Key, don't put it in and be sure to uncheck the Automatically Activate Windows when I'm online check box
