BSOD already > 40 times on not even 1 day

[ickymay]

memtest thingy clean, but i also cant bring back to shop due to its self creation so i can go back with parts but not just say hey here is my pc fix it plz =P

10 times seems much but compared to what it is before i rlly happy becouse before i had like under 1min every time i putted it on before a bsod would pop up so now i still can do a few things.

A mate of me told me it can be something with sound codecs or something like that is that posibl?

well already ty

Tom

how many passes did you do with memtest ?

what are the exact symptoms of the freezes and can you reproduce them ?

are there any warnings in performance information and tools\advanced ?

 

[copypoesje]

i cant rlly reproduce them, tho if i go in firefox or avant browser it happens faster but can still take 1 min an hour or maybe it wont even crash.

The thing is before it crash lets say i am listening music and playing a game:

in game i see the screen freeze for very small time not even a sec but its noticable, the sound "freezes" too from time to time becouse it looks then like it skips a very small part.

then right before freeze i hear like a sec of sound repeating 1000000 times and rlly fast and then like 5sec after that pc totally freezes or just reboots.

as far as i can see in performance information and tools\advanced it gives me no warnings errors or suggestions. So that doesn't detect anything.


with the memtest thingy, i did let the windows one run for about 5 - 6 hours nothing found,
also did that memtest not from windows(the one you have to do with bootdisk),i did let that run for a while too, also no errors.

kind regards,
Tom

Sounds like that drive is getting ready to fail... Time to make sure that all your data is backed up and replace that drive... Good luck!

i did hd tests and it sayd everything was good working no errors or anything
can it still be hd-related if it gives me no errors?

kind regards

If your drive is making unexpected noises, you can almost be sure that its on its way out... Diagnostic programs are fine, but do not catch everything... Good luck with your problem...

oh sorry i think i typed wrong, its not the drive or pc that makes the sound , its the sound that plays at that moment in my headset that repeats itself

I've been experiencing that sound issue with my audio card : Asus Xonar DS. A solid 60$ audio card that can play eax 5.0 and as good as creative cards of the double price.

I think it is more related to windows 7 x64 itselfs.

I dont know much about this bug, but for me it's just a little inconvenience, I usually restart windows if this happen while I'm in game. (1 time a week maybe...)


A thing I have learned fast since I'm on this forum, windows 7x64 has many software issues related.

Remember the firsts version's of windowx xp...nothing was really stable, took at least 2 years for XP to become stable and reliable !

Hopefull windows 7 will become the same ! (contrary to vista...)

Is this still the same install that you did with a faulty motherboard ?

what make and model and rating is your Power Supply ?

 

[copypoesje]

hey, ty for reply

No, this is a fresh install, as soon as i had new parts i did a fresh w7 install everytime, to make sure nothing could go wrong there.

bij power suply thingy:
ocz stealthXstream 600w

also i found a program so i can see the tempratures in my pc, and they all are normal so also cant be temprature related.

already thnx

kind regards,
Tom

 

[ickymay]

this latest problem could be soundcard and drivers issue, I suggest disable or remove the soundcard for a day and see if that cures the problem ?

 

[copypoesje]

hey all,

ty for replys.

removing sound card will be bit hard becouse its integrated on the motherboard, i checkd or i had latest drivers and i got latest so,,,

then i also noticed something else, that there is a crash that happens +/- every 3hours, 3hours after i did start up pc, 3 hours after previous crash ( so also after startup).
It can be that it doesnt matter but just wanted to post it. you never know =)

kind regards,
Tom

You can try to desactivate it in the bios. There should be a section about onboard device, disable the audio thing.

Not much info I can make any sense of there , maybe someone else can

I think time to try driver verifier, I am assuming you have all data backed up if it all goes wrong ??

Using Driver Verifier is an iffy proposition. Most times it'll crash and it'll tell you what the driver is. But sometimes it'll crash and won't tell you the driver. Other times it'll crash before you can log in to Windows. If you can't get to Safe Mode, then you'll have to resort to offline editing of the registry to disable Driver Verifier.

So, I'd suggest that you first backup your stuff and then make sure you've got access to another computer so you can contact us if problems arise. Then make a System Restore point (so you can restore the system using the Vista/Windows 7 Startup Repair feature).

Then, here's the procedure:
- Go to Start and type in "verifier" (without the quotes) and press Enter
- Select "Create custom settings (for code developers)" and click "Next"
- Select "Select individual settings from a full list" and click "Next"
- Select everything EXCEPT FOR "Low Resource Simulation" and click "Next"
- Select "Select driver names from a list" and click "Next"
Then select all drivers NOT provided by Microsoft and click "Next"
- Select "Finish" on the next page.

Reboot the system and wait for it to crash to the Blue Screen. Continue to use your system normally, and if you know what causes the crash, do that repeatedly. The objective here is to get the system to crash because Driver Verifier is stressing the drivers out. If it doesn't crash for you, then let it run for at least 36 hours of continuous operation (an estimate on my part).

Reboot into Windows (after the crash) and turn off Driver Verifier by going back in and selecting "Delete existing settings" on the first page, then locate and zip up the memory dump file and upload it with your next post.

If you can't get into Windows because it crashes too soon, try it in Safe Mode.
If you can't get into Safe Mode, try using System Restore from your installation DVD to set the system back to the previous restore point that you created.
If that doesn't work, post back and we'll have to see about fixing the registry entry off-line.

More info on this at this link: Using Driver Verifier to identify issues with Windows drivers for advanced users

let us know the results

What size and brand of Power Supply?

Please upload the memory dump files so we can have a look at them:

Upload Dump Files:
Please go to C:\Windows\Minidump and zip up the contents of the folder. Then upload/attach the .zip file with your next post.
Left click on the first minidump file.
Hold down the "Shift" key and left click on the last minidump file.
Right click on the blue highlighted area and select "Send to"
Select "Compressed (zipped) folder" and note where the folder is saved.
Upload that .zip file with your next post.

If you have issues with "Access Denied" errors, try copying the files to your desktop and zipping them up from there. If it still won't let you zip them up, post back for further advice.

If you don't have anything in that folder, please check in C:\Windows for a file named MEMORY.DMP. If you find it, zip it up and upload it to a free file hosting service (not RapidShare as the analysts usually can't download from it) - then post the link to it.
Then, follow the directions here to set your system for Minidumps (much smaller than the MEMORY.DMP file): Set MiniDump

In addition to Driver Verifier, please try these hardware diagnostics:

H/W Diagnostics:
Please start by running these bootable hardware diagnostics:
Memory Diagnostics (read the details at the link)
HD Diagnostic (read the details at the link)

Also, please run one of these free, independent online malware scans to ensure that your current protection hasn't been compromised: Malware (read the details at the link)
