Windows 7 random BSOD's ntoskrnl.exe

Beliares · Nov 10, 2009

Hey

Few days ago, my Windows started to show his mood. I've got random BSOD's while playing, watching movies, unraring stuff.

Before nothing was happening. I didn't upgrade any drivers, i installed one update (wich i removed after this problem).

Crushed caused by :

I've checked my harddrive and memory, no errors or bad sectors.

Ataching few dumps .

Does anyone have any idea what may cause this? It's getting really annoying,

Hi.

Here is your error and they are both read and write operations. You may follow suggestions in an attempt to alleviate the bsod.

Also, you can see if any patches are available for Call Of Duty 4.

Update your bios and chipset drivers if possible. Good luck with this.

"IMAGE_NAME: memory_corruption"

Run memtest for the system ram and find a software that can test video ram. Run these for as long as possible and that you can stand too. Sometimes, errors are only found this way.

Open an elevated command prompt and run this command as many times as necessary. One for each partition on the system, while changing C: to match.

chkdsk /r C:

If overclocking ram, video or memory, set to default speeds and test. If you are using performance memory, visit the maker's site for suggested Vdimm and timings to set in the bios.

Beliares · Nov 10, 2009

Hey,

I've run memtest few times, even for the whole night, it shown no errors.

About overclocking :

My CPU /Memory and graphic card are overclocked. Altho, since i installed Win7 (wich was just after MS opened the free registration, so a while ago) i had NO problems. The only problem was CoD 5 (world at War) crushing, but it appeard to be a graphic OC problem.

The game i was playing today (prolly from this dumps) is Modern Warfare 2, i suspected that it may be very graphic OC sensitive so i reseted everything.

My CPU/Mem oc is very stable, never had any problems with any games. Everything started about 4-5 days ago.

I installed one game (Supreme Commander) , two programs (microsoft Silverlight and new Hamachi) altho i uninstalled all of them today. Still getting the BSOD's.

Im now gonna run the chkdsk and check the memory again.

torrentg · Nov 10, 2009

lol the crashes are telling you that the overclock is not stable.

??

Beliares · Nov 10, 2009

Sorry, what?

If i m using the system for few months, overclocked (CPU/Mem/Graphic card) and NOTHING happens, i can play every game, no BSOD's, crushes, errors. Then i think OC is stable.

I think you missunderstood my post somehow.

I said, everything started 4-5 DAYS ago, i didn't change anything. I have my machine OCED since 1 year, never changed any option. This is my first problem since over 2 years.

4-5 days ago installed two applications and one game, i said that becuase i got BSODS since then.

I have no idea how can be this connected to my problem. Im making regular mem and disk tests, also all drivers are up to date, including BIOS.

torrentg · Nov 10, 2009

I will say it again then for you, only I will type it very slowly this time.

Your o v e r c l o c k i n g i s c a u s i n g bsod.

Not hard to understand at all.

Would you rather have heard your hardware is damaged instead?

Beliares · Nov 10, 2009

Yes i understand you.

But did you read what i said?

How can overclocking cause the BSOD now, if it didn't since open Windows beta, before on Vista Home Premium 64 bit, before on XP Home?

How can a problem like this, happen randomly?

There would be any signs of fail clocking earlier. If everything was alright till previous saturday, why would it happen now?

For now, i resetted everything to stock. Let's see what's gonna happen.

Btw. On Vista HP 64 bit i had the same BSOD, it was caused by (you won't believe it) CUSTOM start bar color. Seriously, if i had any other color then default, i had random BSOD's.

Lol

torrentg · Nov 10, 2009

Yes, I read. Let's see how it goes without the overclock. It doesn't mean you have to keep it perfectly default forever.

If it bsod still, then I'm wrong and troubleshooting can go on further.

If no bsod, then at least you know the cause.

Let us know either way after a little time.

Beliares · Nov 10, 2009

Just played MW2 on stock, happened again :/

I uninstalled what i could, stock CPU /Mem / graphic card. Still getting the same BSOD.

CHKDSK didn't find any errors also no memory or hard disk errors.

torrentg · Nov 10, 2009

Alright then. Keep it normal clocked for now. Follow my suggestions in the first post I made in the thread about updating the bios and chipset drivers.

Maybe if you're lucky, the wise one will come and analyze and give opinions/facts on this.

Beliares · Nov 10, 2009

Bios us up to date.

I installed newest chipset drivers.

Didn't help. ALTHO

I have some fresh information. While i launched Safe mode, system refused to load drivers and i got BSOD with new suspect. Attaching the file and pasting the short log from WhoCrashed/Debugger tools

Two newest dumps atached.

torrentg · Nov 10, 2009

Bug Check 0xC4: DRIVER_VERIFIER_DETECTED_VIOLATION

It is saying 0x91 on here.

Let me ask this out of curiosity: Did you disable the page file on the system?

Also, still says memory corruption. As for a test only, try taking out as much ram as possible and running like that. Maybe you can narrow something down to a specific ram module being faulty.

IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL (a)
An attempt was made to access a pageable (or completely invalid) address at an
interrupt request level (IRQL) that is too high.  This is usually
caused by drivers using improper addresses.
If a kernel debugger is available get the stack backtrace.
Arguments:
Arg1: fffffb4001f851f8, memory referenced
Arg2: 0000000000000002, IRQL
Arg3: 0000000000000001, bitfield :
    bit 0 : value 0 = read operation, 1 = write operation
    bit 3 : value 0 = not an execute operation, 1 = execute operation (only on chips which support this level of status)

Nope i didn't.

Im trying to reinstall my lan drivers and graphic drivers, maybe something from those would help.

Also, i might use Windows repair installation, maybe it would also help :/

torrentg · Nov 10, 2009

Yes. Definitely, graphics driver could help here. I took for granted it was latest in use. Give that a try!

Beliares · Nov 10, 2009

Installed the newest Graphic driver, was using one from tweakforce (191 Xtreme-G, not so old).

Also got some probs with chipset drivers, can't uninstall, install them 0_0 Wierd. ATI Install Manager hangs up on detecting graphics (got AM2 socket, ATI as build-in graphics, altho using NV as main graphic card)

Btw, i still got the DVD with Win7. Would repairing the system help? I mean, if i boot the CD and instead of reinstalling, repair.

wallyinnc · Nov 10, 2009

Beliares, have you monitored the temperature of your rig, CPU, GPU etc while playing and before the BSOD? I have seen reports that Win7 runs hotter than previous systems. Maybe it is heating up even without OC. Do you have good cooling?

Beliares · Nov 10, 2009

Yep, CPU has AC Freezer Xtreme, like 35 C idle, 43 C stress.

Graphic card, Accelero S1 + 120 MM fan. Cool and quiet

My memory (Patriot LLK) also has a cooling.

Im monitoring the temperatures all the time, using EVGA Precision and Hwmonitor.
