Just did my usual early morning boot, still only using one video card. I only got one BSOD, though it did occur twice. The BSOD was Bugcheck 24. Also, the first time the computer booted without BSOD, it made it to desktop, but I could not open any applications other than Windows Explorer and other small programs. IE would not load, and neither would WMP.
While it may not be the only problem, for the time being, could you guys help me identify what could be causing Bugcheck 24?
You can try to run a Disk Check and HD Diagnostic (Download HDD stress test from manufacture's site)STOP 0x00000024: NTFS_FILE_SYSTEM
Usual causes: Disk corruption, insufficient physical memory, Device driver, Indexing, Resident antivirus, backup, defrag programs, Disk/Drive failing/failure
ttran, dskchk was all clear for the drives, and I'm having some issues with HD Diagnostic because my computer freezes anytime I try to edit the boot sequence in BIOS.
Is there any way to load HD Diagnostic onto a flash drive?
Could you please upload your system info? Enter msinfo32.exe into the start menu, and then go to File>Export. Right-click on the file you saved, and Send To>New Compressed Folder.
Here you go, Jonathan. Keep in mind that I've been running one video card, and that will probably be reflected in the computer info. I'll put the other card back in and do another upload if you'd like to see that.
Also, for the past three days all I've gotten are Bugcheck 24 BSOD's and the occasional failed start with Windows (no BSOD).
Thanks for that info.
I checked your BIOS version, and it appears you have the most recent BIOS version.
Could you do a hard drive diagnostic on another machine? Take your hard drive to another machine, and then run one of these tools on it: HD Diagnostic
I'm not sure if this helps confirm or helps deny hard drive issues, BUT I'm getting system service and memory management errors in huge numbers, even when running safe mode. Considering safe mode doesn't load my video drivers I assume I can rest assured that my cards are safe.
It may take me a few days but I'll get my hard drive loaded on another machine.
