    BSOD - possible video driver issue..?


    Here is the most recent minidump, which was accompanied by video card error messages sometime later, possibly related, possibly not...

    Any help, gratefully received as this is used every day as my main tv server and my GF is getting a bit ratty over the crashes.

    cheers

    Your mini dump shows a stop error code of 7E. This a hardware or hardware related issue.
    STOP 0x0000007E: SYSTEM_THREAD_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED (go to top of page)

    Usual causes: Insufficient disk space, Device driver, Video card, BIOS, Breakpoint with no debugger attached, Hardware incompatibility, Faulty system service, Memory, 3rd party remote control,

    SYSTEM_THREAD_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED_M (1000007e)
    This is a very common bugcheck.  Usually the exception address pinpoints
    the driver/function that caused the problem.  Always note this address
    as well as the link date of the driver/image that contains this address.
    Some common problems are exception code 0x80000003.  This means a hard
    coded breakpoint or assertion was hit, but this system was booted
    /NODEBUG.  This is not supposed to happen as developers should never have
    hardcoded breakpoints in retail code, but ...
    If this happens, make sure a debugger gets connected, and the
    system is booted /DEBUG.  This will let us see why this breakpoint is
    happening.
    Arguments:
    Arg1: c0000005, The exception code that was not handled
    Arg2: 813b018e, The address that the exception occurred at
    Arg3: 88644b2c, Exception Record Address

    You have an extremely obsolete driver on your system. Windows 7 does not like old drivers and they can cause memory corruption and BSOD's.

    giveio.sys Wed Apr 03 22:33:25 1996 It belongs to belongs to the software giveio or ADC Analyzer or SwiftForth or Disspy by unknown. I cannot find the company that produced this driver. If you have any of the above software installed, uninstall it using Revo Uninstaller.

    When you have uninstalled this driver, post back.

    I also found another obsolete driver, nvm62x32.sys Fri Oct 17 17:00:39 2008. This is your NVidia network adapter card driver. This ties in with the error you saw regarding your network adapter.

    You have not included your system specs, so I don't know what kind of computer you have. If yours is a laptop, go to the manufacturer's site and look for an updated network adapter driver. Download it and install it. If yours is a desktop and your network adapter card is a separate card, go to Nvidia's website and download the latest driver from there.

    This may clear up the problem.

    Thanks Carl, very informative.

    I had a scoot through device manager and noticed that there wasn't a driver installed for a co-processor, which is the nForce 730i chipset. There should have been so I don't know what happened there...

    I found a newer, although unofficial chipset driver on NforcersHQ and so far it seems to be stable.

    I'll report back if nothing has changed!

    thanks again

    Thanks for the update and I am glad your system is improving. Did you uninstall that obsolete software? You need to remove that potential conflict.

    Please keep us posted, I am hoping we can mark this thread as solved. :)
