BSOD On Startup error 0x0000001a

UPDATE:

I have just flashed the BIOS from v2.03 to v3.10 on my Acer Aspire 5732z

No BSOD's on startup however i have been working with the laptop over the last few hours. The BSOD usually occur if I leave the laptop cold for a few days

Any info on the mini dumps would.be much apprecited

Hi LarryB,

Please read BSOD Posting Instructions

Have you performed the built-in diagnostic test for the memory?

Hi Axe0

I performed the memory test by launching mdsched.exe then restarting. Very l9ng process as it was tested with 2 sticks inserted then again with each single stick in each slot. Finally got through it and past with flying colours.

I read posts on memtest86 but i had nothing to flash it to! I'll bring home a usb key tonight and test it again x 8 .

I've read your link and i'll attach those details later also

Cheers!

That is the built-in memory test, this test is not as good as MemTest86+

Coolaboola Axe0 coolaboola!! I'll get those details and tests done later and i'll post up.

Cheers

Log collector files attached to the opening thread. Note that you will see one dump file from the 24/09/2015.

The time and date settings were lost when I powered up yesterday so you will see multiple dump files from 12/04/2011 . These are in fact dump files from yesterday

I will start the memtest86 testing shortly

Cheers

There are all sorts of crashes.

The most recent is a 0x1a that indicates memory problems.
There are some dumps that might indicate to a failing hard drive
Please uninstall AVG as a test using the uninstall instructions

Diagnostic Test

 RAM TEST

Run MemTest86+ to analyse your RAM. ]MemTest86+ - Test RAM - Windows 7 Forums

   Note

MemTest86+ needs to be run for at least 8 passes for conclusive results. Set it running before you go to bed and leave it overnight. We're looking for zero errors here. Even a single error will indicate RAM failure.

Diagnostics Test

 HDD TEST

Run SeaTools to check the integrity of your HDD. SeaTools for DOS and Windows - How to Use

   Note

Do not run SeaTools on an SSD as the results will be invalid.

Run chkdsk Disk Check

Code:

KERNEL_MODE_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED_M (1000008e)
This is a very common bugcheck.  Usually the exception address pinpoints
the driver/function that caused the problem.  Always note this address
as well as the link date of the driver/image that contains this address.
Some common problems are exception code 0x80000003.  This means a hard
coded breakpoint or assertion was hit, but this system was booted
/NODEBUG.  This is not supposed to happen as developers should never have
hardcoded breakpoints in retail code, but ...
If this happens, make sure a debugger gets connected, and the
system is booted /DEBUG.  This will let us see why this breakpoint is
happening.
Arguments:
Arg1: c0000005, The exception code that was not handled
Arg2: 8a947248, The address that the exception occurred at
Arg3: 8cc13900, Trap Frame
Arg4: 00000000

Thank you Axe0 for you time and input

Memtest86+ is running but I am sure you are aware this will take a while. More then likely it will run through the night.

1 pass so far and only 44% through the second test

I'll run a test on the HDD once it completes

As for AVG I removed that and installed Avast. I'll check again to ensure there is nothing left behind as program file / user profile and in the registry.

I'll report back once all tests are complete

Cheers
