BSOD 0x1000007e for ntoskrnl.exe after Sys Recovery Disks reinstall

[Zarathud]

Dell XPS 435T/9000 with Win 7 64-Bit

I was having all kinds of BSOD and system freezing issues so I decided to do a re-install 2 days ago from my system recovery disks to return to a factory image. I had some issues with the monitor blanking as reported here. I got the system up, updated drivers from the Dell site, and having been letting the windows updates install. I installed a few programs, but not too many.

Today the system froze while working on it so I had to reboot manually using the power button. It booted into Windows and I started working again, but the screen blanked out within a few minutes and the system rebooted itself. During reboot, while loading Windows a blue screen appeared, cycled through and then restarted Windows again.

Any help would be appreciated.

I have uploaded the SF Diagnostics files for review.

Microsoft Security Essentials is recommended from a strict BSOD perspective, compatibility & stability
compared to other antivirus or internet security software. It is free and lightweight:-

Take memtest. Run for 8 passes and test each stick in a know good slot for an additional 6 passes.

• RAM - Test with Memtest86+

The goal is to test all the RAM sticks and all the motherboard slots.

Check your motherboard manual to ensure the RAM sticks are in the recommended motherboard slots. Some motherboards have very specific slots required for the number of RAM sticks installed.

If you get errors, stop the test and continue with the next step.

1. Remove all but one stick of RAM from your computer (this will be RAM stick #1), and run Memtest86 again, for 7 passes.

*Be sure to note the RAM stick, use a piece of tape with a number, and note the motherboard slot.
​

If this stick passes the test then go to step #3.

2. If RAM stick #1 has errors, repeat the test with RAM stick #2 in the same motherboard slot.

*If RAM stick #2 passes, this indicates that RAM stick #1 may be bad. If you want to be absolutely sure, re-test RAM stick #1 in another known good slot.
​

*If RAM stick #2 has errors, this indicates another possible bad RAM stick, a possible motherboard slot failure or inadequate settings.
​

3. Test the next stick of RAM (stick #2) in the next motherboard slot.

*If this RAM stick has errors repeat step #2 using a known good stick if possible, or another stick.
​

*If this RAM stick has no errors and both sticks failed in slot#1, test RAM stick #1 in this slot.
​

4. If you find a stick that passes the test, test it in all the other motherboard slots.

If Part 2 testing shows errors, and all tests in Part 3 show errors, you will need to test the RAM sticks in another computer and/or test other RAM in your computer to identify the problem.

In this way, you can identify whether it is a bad stick of RAM, a bad motherboard, or incompatibility between the sticks.

   Information

Errors are sometimes found after 8 passes.

   Tip

Memtest should be done overnight.

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: ffffffffc0000005, The exception code that was not handled
Arg2: fffff80002ce7150, The address that the exception occurred at
Arg3: fffff880030be5c8, Exception Record Address

Interesting KK as I asked for the memtest, HDD test and chkdsk stuff in the other thread but it wasn't followed up.
I also suggested a clean install using Greg's tutorial as it seemed to me the disks being used were somehow "off".
I wish I could read the dump files properly as I am sure there must be stuff in there.

I had recently run chkdsk and seatools on the drive and both passed without issue. I had also recently run a memtest with the diagnositics from the F12 menu and that did not return any error. I was planning to initiate the other memtest last night when I got the blue screen, which is why I started a second thread.

I took the box offline last night as I want to open it, clean it (which hasn't been done in awhile, if ever), make sure everything is seated properly, and then I will start running some of these tests over the next few days.

[Zarathud]

I opened and cleaned the box, which was very dusty inside. It seems to be running noticeably quieter since the cleaning.

I then ran HWMonitor CPUID, CrystalDiskInfo, Chkdsk, and Seatools for Dos and did not see any issues. See attached.

Will run the Memtest starting tonight.

No worries and Zarathud mate the volts look ok but the temps on the cores seem to be a little on the high side for my liking although I suppose it does depend on the ambient temperature of where you are.

As suggested by Kool Kat that memtest will be interesting to see the results.

I ran 9 passes on the Memtest with no errors. See attached.

Ambient temperature is abut 75 F at peak during the day, although the box sits inside a computer desk (open front) so it is probably a little bit higher. I ran CPUID HW Monitor again after completing the Memtest (30 hours) and results are attached.

 

[ICIT2LOL]

After looking at the memtest and the HW Info readout I still think the cores are a little on the high side I know the memtest is probably not that accurate but if you take the mid way point between the HW and memtest results you are getting around 78C.
That would have me changing the compound at the very least. Volts still ok so having a rethink.

 

[Zarathud]

No sure what this means:

That would have me changing the compound at the very least.

I booted after being off for awhile to check the temps (see attached) and then rebooted into Memtest for a check. CPUID attached and Memtest CPU temp was bouncing around, but started at 59 C and went up to around 68 C within a minute or two. Looks like the Memtest temp definitely reads higher.

 

[ICIT2LOL]

Yes it will mate like any scan it is putting a little "pressure" on the CPU. The temps I would be more concerned with are the idle ones.
