Random BSOD

Hi
please can someone look into this as i have no idea what i need to do.

I have a large memory DMP file of about 300Mbs

get your system setup to record small memory dump files then zip and upload them here for analysis :)

Hi ickymay here is the mini dump

after about 5 reboots and another BSOD i was able to install the GPU driver...

hey thnx for that and this part of the debugger output is the most significant to me

CLOCK_WATCHDOG_TIMEOUT (101)
An expected clock interrupt was not received on a secondary processor in an
MP system within the allocated interval. This indicates that the specified
processor is hung and not processing interrupts.
Arguments:
Arg1: 0000000000000031, Clock interrupt time out interval in nominal clock ticks.
Arg2: 0000000000000000, 0.
Arg3: fffff88002fe0180, The PRCB address of the hung processor.
Arg4: 0000000000000003, 0.

Normally a STOP 0x101 will be caused by a faulty CPU or other hardware like motherboard , but for now we should try and make sure your software environment isn't involved ...........

these drivers are old and need updating

ASACPI.sys fffff880`04fae000 fffff880`04fb6000 0x00008000 0x42476c4c 28/03/2005 02:30:36
ahcix64s.sys fffff880`018bb000 fffff880`018f2000 0x00037000 0x46c4386c 16/08/2007 11:43:40

ASACPI.sys is known to cause BSOD's: ASACPI.sys It belongs to the Asus ATK0110 ACPI Utility and this needs updating, also ahcix64s.sys is an AHCI driver and both of these should be updateable by going to the ASUStek website and downloading and installing the chipset drivers ?
I did notice they only offer Vista drivers which is not a good sign

next to the problem with your gfx card where rdprefmp.sys was involved in the crash we need to get your drivers to correctly install ?

can you go to device manager and check for any warning icons ?

can you run the windows 7 upgrade advisor to check your hardware compatibility ?

what antivirus and firewall do you have installed ?

so would u say i should try and update the driver for achi using vista drivers?

regards John

yes :)

jonnyjai said:

im using the latest version of Virginmedia security which was lunched a few days ago
to be compatible with win 7.

regards John

Virginmedia is an unknown quantity to me so if you still crash after you have updated your AHCI drivers then it might be wise to replace it with MSE for debugging purposes

after your driver update please post a screenshot of your first two tabs in a dxdiag which you initiate with that command (dxdiag) in a run box from the start orb ?

some info here around your problem and unninstalling the ASUSTeK probe facility ?

Hi i was using my pc today with without anyproblems which was peaceful and stress free...
until i copied and pasted a file... it blue screened << 1st attachment.
after a few more hrs i checked this site for new posts went on to install the vista drivers but had no luck
the install process stops and says 'incompatible OS' and soon after another Blue screen << 2nd attachment.

Before using win7 32bit none of this has happened..

well it's the same 101 error and this is normally a hardware fault, you need to speak to ASUS and ask them why your motherboard is not fully supported with drivers to work with windows 7 ?

have you tried my recommendations ?
have you managed to get your gfx driver installed ?

Ile ask for some help on this, I think next step may be to run driver verifier see if we can identify what driver might be causing a processor deadlock ?
