Varying BSOD's

Hi Community.
This is my first post here, although I have been helped before, by browsing related topics.
My old workstation, is all I have for my music production. Thanks for being around.

So here we go. I have repeatedly experienced BSOD's for quite some time now. I have inconsistent reports on the blue screen. They vary quite a bit.

I have really no clue to what causes this, although there are a few common traits.
It often happens when I exit a browser t.x. Other times, when i exit another graphics heavy program.

I changed the Graphics card some time ago, but that was in response to some BSOD's already. And I think it has gotten worse after.

I had my machine not willing to start, some days back. It just lit up a few leads on the front panel, blinking, and never got started. I found a Dell supporter talking about the PSU being faulty with that blinking code. However, the support thread was for another DELL system, so there is no guarantee that goes for my system.

Then it started again a few days later. And has started ever since, but generally more active on the BSOD's.

I hope someone can help me identifying the culprit(s) in the collected info.

I did run the DM Log collector exe, but it finished without prompting for me to save the log zip file.
It crashed? Or is the log file somewhere default?

Hi
Thanks for the help. Here is the ZIP attached.

Please post the report of Windows Genuine and Activation Issue Posting Instruction

I did now. I guess it only needs approval before I can see it in the thread?

Hi DrHardlove,

Interesting results

Your machine seems to be in a confused state
1 part showing as Ultimate another as Enterprise
from what i can find that machine shipped with Vista

so a couple of questions
When purchased which was it running
Have you either reinstalled/run a repair install or Upgraded
(where did you get the Iso media)
What does it state on the COA sticker
(Do not post the product key)


What did you try to fix with the Tweaking tool



Roy

Yes. Right you are. It was shipped with Vista Business. Updated and activated with an OEM Enterprise license. Correct key found in system, with keyfinder exe.
I bought the maschine like this in 2014. System was stable until october 2018. I have only done important and adviced system updates on a regular basis.

The tweaking tool was used for a few automated processes, and I don't actually remember in detail. I will look for a log.

torchwood said:

Hi Kay,

have looked at that report in more detail, and based on that and what you've said
The install is non-genuine

Based on
Product key type 2 -- Only for Factory OS installed machines
product key -- its an Ultimate key not Enterprise
Registration -- its not registered
Slic table -- yours has 2 different Table ID's
Marker table -- W7 marker present
Enterprise keys -- These are only issued to Educational establisments and Business's
(2 types either VLK or MAK yours is neither)

I can also see its been rearmed which means at some stage it has gone non-genuine. (3x ?)
As W7 was only rolled out in 2009 its impossible for product type 2 keys to be on comps built before then.
If the motherboard has not been changed, dont believe it has based on your specs,
The product key would be MAK as the BIOS would be legacy, not EUFI.
The BIOS date is also incorrect, should be 2012 not 14 Jan 2014, suspect the date of the exploit which was when the Slic and Marker tables were inserted.
Finally Dell never officially offered any W7 drivers for this model

Its unfortunate that you were sold a machine in this state, your only alternative would to purchase a W7 Pro licence, if you can get one AND if you do only buy from a shop. This will require a clean install.

Axe0 may offer you some support, as youve been scammed, but forum rules dictate that we are not allowed too.
The other problem - once an exploit has been used we dont know what else has been modified


Roy

Thanks Roy.

It took me quite some time to delve into this. As you obviously understood, I didn't know that the OS in my refurbished machine could be somewhat dubious.

I have now done several things.
First I obtained a valid Win 7 Enterprise license.

My main concern here, besides establishing a stable system, has been to minimize downtime. The hours I need to make a clean install, is one of my definitively last options, due to the amount of native, and dsp plugs, sound libraries, and other software. On top, I have quite some system setup to do, in order to make it all work again. My system is bridged in order to facilitate both 32 and 64 bit software.

One thing I have less of than time, would be money. So I am doing all I can to maintain, what will cost me tens of k's to achieve by replacing and updating my gear.

Anyways.

1. We tried to do an inplace install with the Win7 Enterprise.
The problem we encountered was that the sound drivers would not work, although in place.
And my main DAW would not even start.

2. Luckily we had created an image file from the somewhat doubtful, although working system for four years now. So we reinstalled that image, and now everything is working again.

We registered successfully with the new key, and hence, now it should be legal.
See the attachment. If you want I can send you a new report?

3. We have removed half the ram, because some of the failure reports, pointed in that direction. We also replaced the power supply, because there was some reports pointing in that direction as well.

It is early to say if my system now will be stable again. If so, I guess that must mainly be because there was hardware issues in the first place.

I will still be very grateful if you can have a look at the reports, and see if you agree that this could be the problem. At least now my system is registered and approved, as far as I can understand. We have a new system ID and it is running under another valid license.

I am sorry being reluctant to perform a clean install at this point. It is an absolute last choice. I hope you understand.

Thanks again for your great help.
