Solved Random BSOD (might be Caused from being Over loaded)

[Zeldafan1993]

You do not have to re-enable Verifier after a crash. it will stay enabled until you disable it or use system restore to a date/time prior to when you enabled it.

OK I have had like 3 crashes already but do you think it would be "easier" to just do a OS Reinstall and then get help to install drivers the RIGHT Way??

Just wondering

 

[writhziden]

Hard to say. If you have bad drivers due to an outdated piece of hardware, installing them the right way may not help. We need to determine whether this is a driver software or driver hardware or hardware issue first.

You said you are running Vista, as well. Is that 64-bit or 32-bit?

 

[Zeldafan1993]

OK ill wait till 2morrow or later to send all my files to you guys again, and both my Win7 and Vista are Ultimate x64 latest Service packs and all up to date

 

[Zeldafan1993]

OK its been about 1 day here is the dump files. Enjoy!

Still recommend removing the Slim software. Disable Verifier prior to doing so.


Verifier enabled .dmps indicate hardware issues. Your graphics card and memory are the most common culprits. Can you try a different graphics card? i.e. borrow one from a friend, use an old one lying around, etc.


Download and install CPU-Z and Upload screenshots of the CPU, Mainboard, Memory, and SPD tabs. In the SPD tab, upload an image of each slot.

OK I removed the 3 Slim ware Programs, now for the Graphics card switch I have a Old XFX Ge Force 9600 GSO lying around do I just take out my old one and put the new 1 in or do I need to do something with the drivers?

and here are the Pictures you asked for

 

[writhziden]

Uninstall the drivers first through Start Menu -> Control Panel -> Uninstall a program -> NVIDIA Graphics Driver

When the system restarts, make sure the rest of the NVIDIA software has also been installed by checking in Uninstall a program for any NVIDIA items in that list. Remove any that remain. Then you are ready for the following steps.

As you add and remove hardware, follow these steps for ESD safety:

1. Shut down and turn off your computer.
2. Unplug all power supplies to the computer (AC Power then battery for laptops, AC power for desktops)
3. Hold down the power button for 30 seconds to close the circuit and ensure all power drains from components.
4. Make sure you are grounded by using proper grounding techniques, i.e. work on an anti-static workbench, anti-static desk, or an anti-static pad. Hold something metallic while touching it to the anti-static surface, or use an anti-static wristband to attach to the anti-static material while working. If you do not have an anti-static workbench, desk, or pad, you can use your computer tower/case by finding a metal hold in it, such as a drive bay.

Once these steps have been followed, it is safe to remove and replace components within your computer.

so Uninstall all the NVIDIA Drivers, restart (with old card in still) and remove any left over NVIDIA Drivers. then Shut Down PC remove OLD GPU and Put in Replacement GPU then go to Nvidia's Site and Get the latest drivers for that card?

 

[writhziden]

Correct.

 

[Zeldafan1993]

Correct.

OK my old Ge-force 9600 GSO is in my pc and drivers are up to date

 

[Zeldafan1993]

damn I got 2 more blue screens 1 said something about "writing to a read only something" it is making me mad that I cant find the problem even after Replacing the Ram, CPU and Motherboard with a RMA all are less then 3 months old, the Motherboard was giving me problems before and its giving me the same problem now when I restart the PC at the Shutting Down Windows Screen, the Screen goes black and just sits there and does nothing the fan and everything else on my case are still running so I don't know what the problem would be

 

[writhziden]

Only things left that you have not replaced are hard drive and PSU. See if you can borrow a PSU since it looks to be the most likely...

O so it could be the PSU? i dont have a extra 1 kicking around tho is there a way to narrow it down for sure kinda thing?

 

[writhziden]

The three hardest components to debug are the PSU, CPU, and the motherboard. That is because all three cause a wide variety of crashes and problems when they fail. There are methods for testing each, but they usually require electrical experience and the tools appropriate to an electrical occupation, i.e. a multimeter.

hmm OK so what do you suggest I do?? I was debating on buying a new gfx card but since the BSOD happened with my old card,
im also debating on getting a new MOBO CPU and ram and CPU cooler (AM3+ MOBO with AMD FX 6 Core AM3+ CPU (3.3GHz) 4gb it would cost abut 340$ for all this

Mobo - Newegg.ca - ASUS M5A97 AM3+ AMD 970 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX AMD Motherboard with UEFI BIOS
Ram - Newegg.ca - G.SKILL Ripjaws Series 4GB 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1066 (PC3 8500) Desktop Memory Model F3-8500CL7S-4GBRL
6 Core CPU - Newegg.ca - AMD FX-6100 Zambezi 3.3GHz Socket AM3+ 95W Six-Core Desktop Processor FD6100WMGUSBX
CPU Cooler - Newegg.ca - SilenX EFZ-92HA3 92mm 3rd generation fluid dynamic bearing Effizio CPU Cooler

The problem is that none of those components will resolve the crashes if they are due to the PSU... Try to find a PSU. Ask friends if they have one you could borrow. Maybe someone has one sitting around or in a system and is willing to let you borrow it. Just try to get one around the same wattage as yours.

ok well know of my friends have a Spare cpu close enough to my current 550 watt and i need at least 2 sata power plugin on the PSU and needs to power my GFX card as well
do you think i should just buy a cheap 500 or 600 watt psu??

 

[writhziden]

No, a cheap PSU is going to cause problems due to low efficiency. You need a good PSU that has at least an 80% efficiency.

 

[Zeldafan1993]

if a PSU has 80 PLUS® certified? is that what you mean by 80% Efficiency?

 

[writhziden]

Yes.
