Random Black Screen of Death

Hey all.

So for a good while now, I've had this problem with my laptop where it'll do the usual Blue Screen stuff, just without the actual Blue Screen (the screen goes completely black); this usually happens just after a file from the Internet has finished downloading, though it has also happened while the laptop is idling.

As someone who really dislikes asking for help, I attempted to analyse the dumps myself and find people with similar problems, though I could never come to a conclusion as to what's wrong. So here I am, asking you guys.

The steps in the BSoD posting guide produced a .zip file with the two dumps from the minidump folder, though it excluded the dump in the Windows folder; would it be beneficial to post that one up too?

BlueScreen Viewer won't help seeing it is a 0x7A where according to the dumps there is large memory corruption.

Diagnostics Test

 HDD TEST

Run SeaTools to check the integrity of your HDD. SeaTools for DOS and Windows - How to Use - Windows 7 Help Forums
Run following tests

1. Short Drive Self Test
2. Short generic
3. Long generic

If the short generic fails, no need for the long generic.

   Note

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

Run chkdsk
Disk Check - Windows 7 Help Forums

Run HDTune to

• scan for errors, no quick scan but full scan
• check the health,
• benchmark.

It may take some time, but please take the time you need to perform it properly.
Let me know what the results are

• of the error scan,
• make a screenshot of the health of every hard drive and post the screenshots,
• post screenshots with the benchmark of the
  
  • transfer rate,
  • access time,
  • burst rate,
  • cpu usage.

KERNEL_DATA_INPAGE_ERROR (7a)
The requested page of kernel data could not be read in.  Typically caused by
a bad block in the paging file or disk controller error. Also see
KERNEL_STACK_INPAGE_ERROR.
If the error status is 0xC000000E, 0xC000009C, 0xC000009D or 0xC0000185,
it means the disk subsystem has experienced a failure.
If the error status is 0xC000009A, then it means the request failed because
a filesystem failed to make forward progress.
Arguments:
Arg1: fffff6fc40008280, lock type that was held (value 1,2,3, or PTE address)
Arg2: ffffffffc0000185, error status (normally i/o status code)
Arg3: 000000001fec4860, current process (virtual address for lock type 3, or PTE)
Arg4: fffff8800105093c, virtual address that could not be in-paged (or PTE contents if arg1 is a PTE address)

It is clear your hard drive is failing, you need to backup your data a.s.a.p. and replace the hard drive.

Right, which is curious because it's been like this intermittently for the past year or so.
If it was going to fail, you'd think it would've done so by now :s

Thanks for the help :)

Depending on how much bad sectors your hard drive can handle it can be good for quite some time, but seeing the transfer rate minimum that low a few times is a strong indication of a failing hard drive.

Ah well. I guess I needed an excuse to get a bigger hard drive, seeing as 149 GB is very small by today's standards.

Thanks again!
