Bluescreen after Bluescreen... Maybe because of ATI?

[katze123]

Hey guys, i've read so many threads now that i thought it would be good to open my own one now...
I have very many Bluescreens, different kinds of errors...
nfts.sys / win32k.sys and some others...
Many people say that's because of the CCC of Ati. Yes, i've got an ATI 5770 HD, so that could be. Maybe there is a way to fix it? I've installed the driver only, installed the driver with CCC and already tried some other things... but... it just seems to do fewer bluescreens, but does them anyway.
ill upload some dmp files, the most recent ones. Thanks guys.

Welcome!

I do see your video card driver as one of the causes. Do not use CCC, using only the driver.

I also see memory corruption. It may be worth testing your RAM. Download a copy of Memtest86 and burn the ISO to a CD using ImgBurn. Boot from the CD, and run at least 5 passes.

Yea thank you for the answer.
I downloaded already the driver only... i try to deinstall all ati drivers and try to install only the driver... Hope that works.
I used the microsoft diagnostic for the ram and there was no error... but okay, i will download memtest too.
Between the first message and this message there was one again...
Ill give you some feedback from my side when i did the tests. thx.

 

[Jonathan_King]

It looks as if the problem is definitely with your GFX card driver. It's just a matter of trial-and-error now, trying to find a driver that works.

The latest driver isn't always the best. Sometimes older drivers work better, like for my nVidia GeForce 7200 GS.

 

[katze123]

The latest driver isn't always the best.

Yeah i ran the memtest now... i made a photo of one error... and broke up the test after approx 45min at test 6.

it says:
Tst:8
Pass:0
Failing Address:000cff41dac - 3327.2MB
Good:cbff8caa
Bad:cb008caa
Err-Bits:00ff0000
Count: 1

and i deinstalled the ati now and installed the driver only. lets see if i get again a bluescreen....
and what can i do against the error? is it bad? do i have to put out ram? :s i have got 3 ram pieces... 1gb 1gb and 2gb... :s the 1gb and 1gb are dual channel able.
greetings

 

[Jonathan_King]

If memtest turns up errors, it can mean a few things.

1) Your timings may be wrong.

2) You have at least 1 bad stick of RAM

3) You have at least one bad slot on your motherboard.

Try testing one of the sticks in all 3 slots; if it checks out, your slots are OK and one of the other sticks is bad

 

[katze123]

Ah okay... i'll do that tomorrow if i have time. til now its running without bluescreen. lets see if there will be an error tomorrow, thx til now =)
if you mean the timings of the ram... all are 5-5-5-15.
and uhm, maybe i should test stick 1 at slot 1, stick 2 at slot 2, stick 3 at slot3. if anywhere an error appears, i know that the slot or the stick is bad. then ill take another stick (which was tested before) and put it into that slot... i think that would be the best case to test everything^^
edit:just came an bluescreen...
usbport.sys
ill upload the dump
thx =)

 

[katze123]

bump? :s

Try uninstalling any virtualization programs you may have, such as Daemon Tools and CD emulators.

But it does appear as if your RAM or motherboard is faulty. Test individual sticks until you determine which stick or which slot is bad.

If it turns out the slot is bad, you will need to replace your motherboard.
