Please see this thread, i know this is about windows 8 and I have 7, but still maybe something

BSOD issues with ASMedia drivers and Windows 8 - Page 2

Nothing to do with sata ports, only USB ports.
Driver Reference Table - asmthub3.sys

What USB ports are in use and/or were in use when a crash occured?

Upload a new zip.

Hi Axe, please see latest dump. I am currently / was using all USB ports at the back of my tower both 2.0 and 3.0.

Thanks!!

I forgot a minidump has limited information.
Something unloads a key from the registry whereafter a crash occurs, but how this corrupted a list in the memory management cannot be determined with a minidump.
Please upload the kernel dump, C:\Windows\Memory.dmp, to dropbox, google drive, or onedrive and post a share link.

MEMORY_MANAGEMENT (1a)
    # Any other values for parameter 1 must be individually examined.
Arguments:
Arg1: [color=red]0000000000041284[/color], A PTE or the working set list is corrupt.
Arg2: fffff8a00dfdc001
Arg3: 00000000000072f9
Arg4: fffff781c0000000

What this error says is that an entry from the PTE (page table entry) list, used by the memory management to keep track of where a page is (ram or pagefile), is corrupt.

Hi Axe, here you go:

It looks like something from the outside was attempting to modify a page of the working set from a Windows driver which it wasn't allowed to do.
Dumping the raw stack reveals the intel chipset driver and the infamous sptd driver.
The sptd driver is known for causing various BSOD since it is improperly written. I have, however, been unable to locate this driver on your system so I'm not sure why this driver was flagged.

I would suggest to update the chipset drivers.

Hi Axe, can you please direct me to the latest chipset drivers??

I already downloaded the newest one off of the intel website:

Intel® Chipset Device Software (INF Update Utility)

Primarily for Intel® Chipset Products, this utility version 10.1.1.42 installs the Windows* INF files. See detailed description to find out if you need this file.

Also, I ran that free utility for that Dameon Tools driver that's supposed to get rid of it..........

Another thing, after shutting the PC last Thursday (8/17/17), I was out of town and returned yesterday (8/21/17). Was on the PC pretty much all day, gaming, surfing web, etc. No BSOD.

I just don't get it!

Download the latest chipset drivers of ASRock, not intel.

 

[Dantheman77]

Can you point me in the right direction of what ASROCK chipset drivers to download?

 

[axe0]

Download the Intel Rapid Storage Technology drivers from ASRock, that would be the chipset drivers.
