[Sambo]

Sometimes when I log into my pc, as it is booting up i encouter a BSOD. My PC is custom build and less than a month old. The specs are(if that helps):

Asus M4A79XTD EVO
AMD Phenom II X4 965 Black Edition 3.4GHz
PowerColor HD 5750 1GB GDDR5

I am using 64 bit version of windows 7 professional. It is a full version that I got with my university

Welcome to SF. Please post your full System Specs.

Your ATI Radeon HD 5700 driver is recent. Update your audio driver. Also check your network and wireless network adapter drivers.

Thanks for the quick reply

Also when I turned my computer to sleep, it BSOD again, should i post the results again?

 

[Lemur]

Let's check the memory with memtest86+

Memtest86+ - Advanced Memory Diagnostic Tool

How about your driver for Tenda Wireless-N300 PCI Adapter? That could have an impact on sleep and BSODs.

 

[Sambo]

Well my room mate has basically the same set up as me apart from the processor, psu and hdd and he is having no problems what so ever. Disabled the wireless card and restarted and still got BSOD, it only happens some times

 

[Sambo]

Memtest passed, no errors

 

[ickymay]

with a memtest you need to run at least 5 passes which normally takes around 7hrs

at a quick glance I see you have a old version of ASUS probe installed dated 2007 which is known to cause bluescreen errors in windows 7 , so please go to the asus website and get the latest version or completely remove it ?

I see your running AVG8 and if your bluescreens continue you could try replacing with MSE for debugging purposes ?

 

[Sambo]

I have decided to get rid of AVG as it does seem to crash as soon as avg loads up, but as for pc probe, i disabled this from starting up so it should not be the problem but I updated it any way. I will do the memtest tonight and share my results tomorrow, thank you for the replys.

Sambo, disabling a program does not necessarily prevent the drivers from loading. You can navigate to C:\Windows\System32\Drivers, find that driver and rename it from .sys to .bak. Reboot and it will not be loaded.

 

[ickymay]

the file you are looking for is AsIO.sys which is from ASUS Probe V which is an older version and known to cause bluescreen crashes

 

[Sambo]

Renamed AsIO.sys to .bak still got BSOD, I am on the verge of reinstalling windows and seeing if that helps but because i got my copy of windows through my university I do not know if my serial key will still work. I got my copy of windows through the MSDNAA, so i do not know if that serial will still work, if i reinstall windows will it ask for the serial again?

 

[ickymay]

good job renaming the file and for your install choices have a look at the facts section of the usa MSDNAA website ?

you have been on the forum for three days as far as i can see so maybe we need some .dmp file uploads to explore more possibilities before you go down the route of re-installation or you may just be returning to the same problems

please can you download and run prime95 and let us know the results ?

please can you run the memtest recommended for at least 5 passes which will likely be overnight and let us know how it goes ?

If your setup is the same as your room mates can you try a ram swop for debugging purposes ?

I do however suspect this problem may be a driver but we need to first eliminate hardware faults

 

[Sambo]

Prime passed, no problems, haven't had it in a few days now, but i bet i will

 

[ickymay]

Prime passed, no problems, haven't had it in a few days now, but i bet i will

which torture test did you run please ?

 

[Sambo]

I ran a blend one. No BSOD for 3 days now, but haven't changed anything so I dunno if its going to come back
