Been Getting BSOD Randomly for a Few Months...

[Arc]

Something is happening due to AVG. Uninstall AVG using AVG Remover. Use Microsoft Security Essentials as your antivirus with windows inbuilt firewall, and free MBAM as the on demand scanner.
Download, install and update those, and then run full system scans with both of them, one by one.

Free up the startup. Windows does not need any other program to auto start with it, but the auto start programs often conflicts and causes various problems including BSODs.

1. Click on the Start button
2. Type “msconfig (without quotes), click the resulting link. It will open the System Configuration window.
3. Select the “Startup” tab.
4. Deselect all items other than the antivirus.
5. Apply > OK
6. Accept then restart.

As Paul stated too, the zip you uploaded does not contain any crash dump.

Follow it: http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/174459-dump-files-configure-windows-create-bsod.html
Go to Option Two, Point 2. Download the .reg file and merge it in registry by double clicking it.

Now wait for another BSOD. When it occurred, search the .dmp files manually in the default path: C:\Windows\Minidump or %SystemRoot%\Minidump. See if the crash dump is recorded or not (hopefully it will be recorded).Post it following the Blue Screen of Death (BSOD) Posting Instructions.

Dont run any disc cleanup program before you upload another zip.

Ah, I see. Thank you, Arc.

I plan to do this in the morning. Will post the files here once I get the BSOD again. Appreciate the help!

Whoa, I just got around to using AVG remover and it gave me a BSOD.

Went to go do that, and this error popped up. Will this affect the files at all?

Edit: Hmm, I also didn't get any minidump files. Ugh, I think I may not have done that REG file tutorial before the BSOD... as I was in the process of firstly removing AVG. After the AVG BSOD, that's when I did the REG file tutorial. So, I'm guessing that I have to wait for another BSOD?

 

[Arc]

Try to remove AVG in safe mode, if not already done.

Then configure the BSOD recording and wait.

 

[ThatCreeper]

I have already removed it with the AVG remover, the first time I did it, it gave me the BSOD. But it still removed it.

That REG file, I put it in the minidumps folder and installed it. That should hopefully work next time I get a BSOD, right?

Do you mean, like, re-install it then go in safe mode and use the AVG remover again? Sorry if I wasn't too clear before.

If it is removed already, it is all ok

You need to merge the registry entry. Double click on the .reg file, and then click the merge button.

 

[ThatCreeper]

Okay, thanks. Just to make sure also, this is correct?

 

[Arc]

Yes, it is rightly done Now wait and observe. OK?

 

[ThatCreeper]

I just got the BSOD a few minutes ago, and still no minidump files. I just don't know what to do anymore.

Thought this would haven been it for sure.

 

[Arc]

Have you noticed the bugcheck code at least?
Next time try to take a camera snap of the screen?

 

[ThatCreeper]

Bugcheck code? And yeah, will take a screenshot next time it happens. Thanks.

 

[Arc]

Bugcheck code is like this one in the picture

[ThatCreeper]

Ahh, yeah. I thought you meant that. Damn. Wish I had of taken a picture.

The inner highlighted box is most important, in particular the end couple digits, the example above would be abbreviated as 0xA
If you dont get time for a camera snap just be sure to note the last number/letters after all the zeros

 

[ThatCreeper]

Alright, sounds good. The thing is, once I get the BSOD, it stays up there for a long time. So I shouldn't have any issues getting a picture hopefully.

 

[ThatCreeper]

This good? I'm getting them quite a lot tbh.

 

[Arc]

That's enough of information

Make it sure that the SSD (Not sure about the brand, may be ARam?) AR120GBE is running with up-to-date firmware. How old the disc is?

Do some Disc checks.

1. Update your SSD's Firmware
2. Re- seat the sata and power. Change the cables, and use the alternate ports of motherboard to attach those.
   
   
3. Run chkdsk /f/r, following the option two of the tutorial Disk Check
4. Seatool for dos: SeaTools | Seagate download
   Burn it in a blank cd. boot from the CD, click on "Accept", wait for it to finish detecting the drives, then in the upper left corner select "Basic Tests", then select "Long Test" and let it run.
   (3 and 4 are for the HDD only).
5. Post screenshots of both the HDD and SSD using CrystalDiskInfo - Software - Crystal Dew World .

Thanks, Arc.

I'm not too familiar with this type of stuff you have posted, so I'm probably going to have to get someone in to take a look at it that knows what they're doing. Step 1 and 2 are the main ones I really don't know how to do, sadly.

Thanks for the tutorial, will keep you posted. Just making sure, you're sure that this is what is making me get the BSOD? Hah, I guess I was just hoping that it would be driver related. No such luck though.

Again, thank you!
