BSOD Due to Graphics Card? HELP!!!
Hi Guys,
So I'm fixing up a laptop at work that is DRIVING ME UP THE WALL.
Basically, the laptop Blue Screens whenever I wake up from sleep mode. Seems like that could be simple enough to fix. But here's the other thing - is also happens at random, especially when I reinstall my Graphics driver.
Here are the things I have currently done in order to try to fix it.
- Manually set virtual memory
- Restarted in SAFE MODE, uninstalled graphics driver and reinstalled latest graphics driver (The laptop did not crash while installing the update in safe mode). When I returned to standard Windows 7, it still crashed on sleep.
- Attempted to remove/re-install graphics driver NOT in safe mode..blue screen occured.
-In SAFE MODE, ran Malware Bytes to search for issues. None were found.
- Updated the hard drives Firmware (Was running Agility OCZ 3 which has a known bug causing BSOD's) Still crashes.
- Ran memtests, chkdsk -r, prime95, sfc scannnow (Ran as Admin). No issues found.
- Removed RAM sticks and let them sit for a minute (A bit of a long shot)..still crashes.
The thing that I have not been able to do is go the the BIOS and change the power settings for Hybrid sleep to S1 which I heard was a good idea. There does not seem to be any options in the laptops BIOS to control any advanced power settings.
It's a Fujitsu Lifebook E-Series (Pretty old)
2 GB RAM Dual Channel DDR2 @ 332 Mhz
Nvidia 8400M G
Core 2 Duo 2Ghz
Windows 7 64bit
I have attached the minidump file that i've been looking at for a while now trying to suss out what the issue is. I'm starting to really think it is hardware just because I feel like I have tried everything. I've never had to post a question on a forum before so I hope I have actually sent this to the right spot!
It would be MUCH appreciated if you could help out, most of my day at work has been spent on this silly thing.
