BSOD during both idle and gameplay. Daily crashes.

destati · 26 Feb 2016

For over the past few months I've been getting a BSOD. It's randomized, meaning it happens during idle standing and while I'm running applications such as games from steam, or even Firefox. I can literally hear the drivers clicking off from the tower when it hits me and its concerning! This happens at least once a day and its driving me crazy. I'm not sure what the problem is. It does a 'memory crash dump' with the add-on message of pfn list corrupt.

I hope someone has a solution, I'd appreciate it. Heads up, I'm not versed at ALL in computers. I'm just following directions from the forums.

OS: Windows 7 Ultimate 32-Bit
Display Adapters: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 260
Processors: AMD Phenom(tm) II X2 560 - 3.30 GHz ( two of these are listed in device manager )
RAM: 6.00 GB (3.25 usable)
Computer: Custom-Build

I suggest that you cleanup your minidump folder a bit, lets say until the 10th of november 2015 and after run the tool again.
The files are located at %systemroot%\minidump.
There are quite some files missing probably due to the amount of dump files present.

I'm not sure if you mean clean up everything AFTER the 10th of November 2015, or before it?

Before of course, else you would remove the most recent dumps which we need for analysis

Haha, thanks! Here's the updated version.

You are running an Acer Product ID (PID) on a Biostar board.
This makes your installation counterfeit.
Troubleshooting a counterfeit installation is useless as it is not known what has been modified to your system.
A counterfeit installation contains heavily modified code which causes the system to behave in unexpected ways.
For this reason, analyzing counterfeit systems is unreliable and most analysts won't try it.

Code:

OS Manufacturer:           Microsoft Corporation

I recommend to install a genuine copy of Windows.
If, after you have installed a genuine copy of Windows, you still get BSOD's we'll be happy to assist you.

Okay thank you, I was not aware of the false Windows installation. I'll see if I can get this fixed.
