Win 7 Pro x64 - BSOD & Freezing

[doa]

Hardware

Intel Core i7 920 Processor
ASUS P6T Deluxe V2 LGA 1366 Intel X58 ATX Intel Motherboard
Corsair HX3X12G1600C9 XMS3 12 GB PC3-12800 1600Mhz Triple Channel Core i7 DDR3
PNY NVIDIA Quadro FX 1800 768MB GDDR3 Graphics Card
Corsair TX750W 750 Watt ATX 12V PSU
1x Western Digital Caviar Blue 500 GB SATA HD (Boot)
2x Western Digital Caviar Black 1 TB SATA HD (Data)

About a week ago this system began to regularly freeze and BSOD.

The BSOD is:

A clock interrupt was not received on a secondary processor within the allocated time interval
Disable BIOS memory options such as caching and shadowing
STOP: 0x00000010

The freezing is much more regular than the BSOD and happens typically 10 minutes after boot.

Uninstalling the video drivers and letting Windows install video drivers took the system from 10 - 30 minutes of use yesterday.

Today the system freezes when trying to reinstall windows and has given a different BSOD (one time only):

Machine_Check_exception
Srop: 0x0000009C

This BSOD happened with the hardware configured as listed at the beginning of the thread.

Since then I have disconnected all the installed hard drives and tried booting with 2 other SATA drives.

At the same time I have removed all the RAM and divided them in to pairs then installed only one pair at a time - cycling through the pairs with each of the “new” sata drives.

I do not get a BSOD this way but the system still freezes.

Prior to trying to reinstall I also tried a host of measures gleaned from searching the internet:

Hardware:
Installed a different video card temporarily
Ran Memtest for 15 hours with all 6 RAM modules installed (no errors)

BIOS:
Disabled C State
Turned off Speed Step
Updated BIOS to latest version
Tried to run RAM at 800Mhz
Changed Ai Overclock Tuner Profile from Auto to X.M.P

Windows:
Disabled the RAC Task
Turned off hybrid sleep
Looked at Power Managment Settings

So I am assuming at this point that it is either PSU, CPU or Motherboard but don’t know which it is. I don't have any other spare hardware to swap in and out of the system ...

The only minidupms that I could find are attached and are from yesterday.

I am troubleshooting this PC for a friend and it is plugged in to a UPS at my house.

Any help is much appreciated!

These were both caused by your video driver. See analysis below.

I would
uninstall the current driver completely and go to nvidea for its replacement. dont use the win 7 update.

then I woul update the old drivers

and run
a system file check
type cmd in search>right click and run as admin>sfc /scannow

Let us know if you need help

Thanks very much - I will try the video drivers again.

I have booted in to Windows and scheduled a scandisk on the C:\ earlier today and then rebooted the computer - but the computer froze during the scandisk operation. Would this also have been due to the video drivers?

 

[doa]

I uninstalled the Nvidia drivers and rebooted in to safe mode, then I ran a driver clean up utility to clean up further.

I rebooted in to Windows and installed the latest drivers from Nvidia and rebooted again.

When I got back in to Windows the system froze in less than 5 minutes.

I've gone back in to get the lastest dump file ... is it still a video driver issue?

Even if my current installation has drivers issues these should not prevent me from reinstalling Windows (as per my first post) - just confused :huh:

Doa

Nope this one was caused by your macaffee (Mcshield.exe

I would either re-install it or better yet remove it

OK, I have uninstalled McAfee and when I booted in to Windows I get a new BSOD within 5 minutes:

Stop 0x00000124

I have rebooted and checked the minidump folder but there is nothing new there.

My video on-screen has started displaying a yellow tinge across the screen, so maybe I need to return the video card. I have already tried re-seating it ...

 

[doa]

Things seem to be going from bad to worse ...

I conncted the boot drive to another PC and ran scandisk then reconnected the drive and booted.

Windows said that it recovered from a blue screen and tried to find a solution and I managed to get a new dumpfile before the system BSOD again:

Page_fault_in_nonpaged_area
Stop: 0x00000050

Hoping that this dump points to something conclusive!
