    random BSOD win32k.sys


    Hi, i've been having multiple BSOD ever since i installed windows 7 86bit on my computer! before i had windows vista. Before installing windows 7 i had to upgrade my computer with memory, i installed 2X1G memory sticks, the computer already had 2X512mb installed. I also installed a 1G nvidia GeForce 9500 GT graphics card. The blue screens appear every day or every 2-3 days, sometimes two times in the same day. It always points to the win32k.sys. I've have installed the latest updates for my drivers, have run memtest run overnight with no errors. Have tried formatting and installing windows7 two times but the BSOD keep appearing. I also ran a chkdsk on the drive an still getting the errors. I ran the system health report on windows and everything passed. I have googled my problem with no luck. Mys specs are
    Hp pavilion a1357c pc
    amd athlon 64x2 Dual core processor 4200+
    3GB of Ram
    240 GB hard disk
    motherboard model A8AE-LE (AmberineM)

    Please help with any kind of suggestion, I would apprecciate your help in trying to resolve this problem. Thank you.

    attached are my dump files

    21 memory dumps from 08 Feb 2010 to the present.
    8 different STOP errors, at least 5 different causes blamed.

    I'd have to suspect a hardware problem here - either broken hardware or an incompatible piece of hardware or software.

    The Driver Verifier enabled memory dump and the STOP 0x10E memory dump both point at video issues - so I'd suggest that you start by replacing your video drivers.

    Then run this video stress test to see if it points at your video:
    FurMark: Graphics Card Stability and Stress Test, OpenGL Benchmark and GPU Temperature | oZone3D.Net
    FurMark Setup:
    - If you have more than one GPU, select Multi-GPU during setup
    - In the Run mode box, select "Stability Test" and "Log GPU Temperature"
    Click "Go" to start the test
    - Run the test until the GPU temperature maxes out - or until you start having problems (whichever comes first).
    - Click "Quit" to exit
    Summary of the BSOD's:

    Thanks for the reply. I ran FurMark and i didnt encounter a problem while it was running, temperature started at 50'C and maxed out at 64'C. Before that i updated to the latest Nvidia drivers. I removed a tv turner pci card and a wireless pci card. I don't use them anyways and maybe one of these two was the culprit. I also removed the original 2X512 sticks and left the 2X1GB sticks which i recently bought just in case. I did not leave the original 2X512 instead because when i first tried installing windows 7 with the 2X512 sticks it would not install, thats why i had to buy more ram. Thank you for your help! any other suggestion will be appreciated. I'll report if i encounter more crashes, hopefully i dont. Thanks once again.

    If it gives you more problems, try these free tests:
    H/W Diagnostics:
    Please start by running these bootable hardware diagnostics:
    Memory Diagnostics (read the details at the link)
    HD Diagnostic (read the details at the link)

    Also, please run one of these free, independent online malware scans to ensure that your current protection hasn't been compromised: Malware (read the details at the link)

    *****
    Additional tests for certain specific circumstances:

    Try this free stress test: Free Software - GIMPS
    Prime95 Setup:
    - extract the contents of the zip file to a location of your choice
    - double click on the executable file
    - select "Just stress testing"
    - select the "Blend" test. If you've already run MemTest overnight you may want to run the "Small FFTs" test instead.
    - "Number of torture test threads to run" should equal the number of CPU's times 2 (if you're using hyperthreading).
    The easiest way to figure this out is to go to Task Manager...Performance tab - and see the number of boxes under CPU Usage History
    Then run the test for 6 to 24 hours - or until you get errors (whichever comes first).
    The Test selection box and the stress.txt file describes what components that the program stresses.
