    BSOD issue uncertain - Occurred after moving house


    Hi everyone,

    I've had a recurring BSOD issue after moving house. It seems to be intermittent. Sometimes at startup, sometimes a bit later. I've tried correcting any driver issues, but the problem still occurs.

    Any advice?

    Thanks in advance,
    Ian

    Hi ICIT2LOL,

    I've updated my system specs (neat file by the way)

    I've investigated my windows folder and I have no BSOD memory dump files, despite being configured to make one. I remember on the BSOD it says something like memory dump failed.

    If it goes again I'll see if one is created.

    Thanks,
    Ian

    Hi again,

    1. SFC scan now result - Verification 100% complete
    Windows Resource Protection found corrupt files but was unable to fix some of them
    Details are included in the CBS log (attached)

    2. chkdsk on boot (c: f/ r/) - check disk didn't actually run, just reported "this volume is clean"

    Hopefully the CBS log brings something up.

    Thanks,
    Ian

    Ok Ian have looked through a lot of stuff and the cbs logs are really way beyond me unless it is some very obvious. Took another look at the other stuff you sent and still cannot pin anything down. It is a shame that the BSOD didn't leave a file behind because I am sure we could have got something out of that as they are more specific than some of the other stuff.

    The only things I can pick out now are some problem devices in msinfo32 which I am going to try and track down as they are not anything obvious to me - see pic

    Now also you mentioned moving house and it has got me wondering whether the problem is something more simple than what one is "looking" for so I might suggest that you open the case and clean it out thoroughly re seat all the cables, sticks, and cards etc

    You could go really pedantic and try my little ditty

    SLOT CLEANING

    Now as for the slots to clean them use a strip of old credit card about1/2 inch wide nip the corners off one end - preferably round them offhold a piece of thin lint free cloth over the end dab on some form ofalcohol - isopropyl alcohol (if you want to be pedantic) but any ethanol basedalcohol even methylated spirits (called rubbing alcohol in the US) are good and GENTLYswipe along the slots.

    This can also be done for the GPU slot/s and also the contacts of thesticks or cards - not the stick but some lint free cloth of course. See my picfor the sick but please be very gentle doing it if you are in any doubt -please ask before doing it but I use this all the time and have yet to damageanything. Plus make sure the card/sticks contacts are clean too but begentle


    Might be an idea to run Speccy to check out the temps too https://www.piriform.com/speccy/download a snip / pic would be good to see

    Ian I have just chased down that problem device and it is linked to something called Colasoft Packet Capture Engine. Can I assume that you have some sort of software or a device that uses it on the machine?

    I am not saying this is the root cause of the issues just it may be.

    Hi John,

    I updated some DVD drivers and I think that may have solved the issue.
    No BSOD recently (last 5 or 6 boots)

    Let me see if I can uninstall that Colasoft Thing. It is to do with network tracking or something. I never use it.

    Thanks for your help bud,
    Ian

    No worries and yes that software is for networking but like you say if you don't need it then dump it - never a great fan of the software that comes like that.

    Had another BSOD this morning, but this time the windows 'recovered from error' prompt appeared to tell me I had a minidump created (attached).

    However I can't decipher it. Can you help?

    I've saved it as a .txt as I can't upload .dmp to the forum.

    Thanks,
    Ian
