sudden BSOD twice or three times daily

[James7679]

I have had win7 rc 64bit installed scince release. my computer has worked like a dream scince..... except until like a few weeks ago. i get BSOD two or three times with reboot and diskcheck etc etc. also random explorer failures. i have attempted to update all applicable drivers for my system and the problem wont go away. I am kinda new to this sort of thing and fairly new at building my own system. PLEASE HELP!( i dont want to shoot my pc)

Can you go into c:\windows\minidump, zip the dump file (*.dmp) and upload it to us to debug.

Let us know if you need help with any of that

No problem James

Try dragging them to the desktop. does that work?

 

[James7679]

[James7679]

Ok
You are having problems because you probably dont own them.. there are instructions here to take ownership http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/1911-take-ownership-shortcut.html?ltr=T

Let me know if it works

okay, i downloaded from link. i used this option on all 9 files, after that when i right click on the file, what do i do? explain step by step, think of me as a 6 yr old. what I am currently doing is right click file, then try to send to sipped folder, that dont work

 

[zigzag3143]

If you dont have winzip or something like it take one dmp file. change the extension (DMP) to txt. then try to upload it. do you know how to upload them?

If not look along the top line of the reply form. look for the paperclip shaped icon. click on that.

[James7679]

okay, when i try to do anything with these files i get a message saying that the file is not valid, is corrupt. etc etc

 

[James7679]

so what im gathering by going through the event viewer is that the minidump file could not be created from the dump log because the file is incomplete or corrupt

With the files on the desktop...
Left click on each one while holding down the Ctrl key
Right click on the selected files and select "Send to"
Select "Compressed (zipped) folder"
Note the location of the folder so that you can upload/attach it to your next post.

If this still doesn't work, put all the files in a new folder on your desktop and follow the instructions here to take ownership of them: http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/1911-take-ownership-shortcut.html
Then follow the zipping instructions above.

 

[James7679]

i dlld the take ownership prog and used it. i then tried to send to zipped folder and i get an error that says "file not found or no read permission" , as i said in my previous post the event viewer is showing that dumplog could not create a minidump file(maybe theyre incomplete somehow). IS THERE ANOTHER WORKAROUND? I am going to hook my computer up to 210 and cook it soon, lol, jk

 

[James7679]

i managed to work around the whole ownership thing. i submitted two of minidumps, can get more if necessary

 

[James7679]

more minidumps

please, somone say they can help me.

Ok Are you overclocking? have you had memory problems? from the first 2 dumps there isnt much info but the fact that they both contain pool corruption means a driver tried to write to memory incorrectly.

Im going thru the rest now
