Hello everyone. Thanks for reading in advance.

I've been having a BSOD when playing Empire: Total War on my new desktop. It has happened 2 out of 2 times now when 3 weeks ago it was fine, and had no BSODs. My BSODs only happen when playing this game--I haven't attempted to play Skyrim yet--though Skyrim played fine 3 weeks ago. I haven't yet updated to the latest Nvidia driver, and I recently installed an SSD (the games worked with the SSD until the last few days, so I don't think it's related to the SSD installation). Other than that, nothing has changed.

Through "Reliability History" in windows; my first BSOD:
The computer has rebooted from a bugcheck. The bugcheck was: 0x0000001e (0x0000000000000000, 0x0000000000000000, 0x0000000000000000, 0x0000000000000000). A dump was saved in: C:\Windows\MEMORY.DMP. Report Id: 032912-12994-01.
I couldn't get the dmp file in time.

Through "Windows Has Recovered From An Unexpected Shutdown"; second BSOD:
Problem signature:
Problem Event Name: BlueScreen
OS Version: 6.1.7601.2.1.0.768.3
Locale ID: 1033

BCCode: 1e
BCP1: 0000000000000000
BCP2: 0000000000000000
BCP3: 0000000000000000
BCP4: 0000000000000000
OS Version: 6_1_7601
Service Pack: 1_0
Product: 768_1

Through "Windows Debugging"; Second BSOD:

BugCheck 1E, {0, 0, 0, 0}

Probably caused by : ntkrnlmp.exe ( nt!KiKernelCalloutExceptionHandler+e )

We do need the DMP file as it contains the only record of the sequence of events leading up to the crash, what drivers were loaded, and what was responsible.

If you are overclocking STOP

You may be able to get the DMP files without crashing by booting into safe mode (F8) with networking.

To enable us to assist you with your computer's BSOD symptoms, upload the contents of your "\Windows\Minidump" folder.

The procedure:
* Copy the contents of \Windows\Minidump to another (temporary) location somewhere on your machine.
* Zip up the copy.
* Attach the ZIP archive to your post using the "paperclip" (file attachments) button.
*If the files are too large please upload them to a file sharing service like "Rapidshare" and put a link to them in your reply.
Click to expand...


To ensure minidumps are enabled:
* Go to Start, in the Search Box type: sysdm.cpl, press Enter.
* Under the Advanced tab, click on the Startup and Recovery Settings... button.
* Ensure that Automatically restart is unchecked.
* Under the Write Debugging Information header select Small memory dump (256 kB) in the dropdown box (the 256kb varies).
* Ensure that the Small Dump Directory is listed as %systemroot%\Minidump.
* OK your way out.
* Reboot if changes have been made.

Sorry for the delayed reply.
I updated my Graphics Drivers and thought the BSODs went away with it, but I had one last night. For a while there, I could play Empire with no BSODs and run the computer fine. It had been about 3 weeks since I had one. I attached the MiniDump file in my attachments, using WinRar.

Says: Probably caused by : ntkrnlmp.exe ( nt!KiKernelCalloutExceptionHandler+e
But I have the detailed report in the attachment.

Thank you for looking in advance,
Twistedben

---------
The above crash report was rather inconclusive. Possible causes include Memory problems... Viruses... Corrupted hard disk file system... Corrupted System Files... Lack of Windows updates... Drivers...

We should probably wait for a few more crashes to occur to determine any patterns. If you would like, you could help them along by checking for any driver conflicts.
  • An underlying driver may be incompatible\conflicting with your system. Run Driver Verifier to find any issues. To run Driver Verifier, do the following:
    a. Backup your system and user files
    b. Create a system restore point
    c. If you do not have a Windows 7 DVD, Create a system repair disc
    d. In Windows 7:
    • Click the Start Menu
    • Type verifier in Search programs and files (do not hit enter)
    • Right click verifier and click Run as administrator
    • Put a tick in Create custom settings (for code developers) and click next
    • Put a tick in Select individual settings from a full list and click next
    • Set up the individual settings as in the image and click next
      View attachment 208657
    • Put a tick in Select driver names from a list
    • Put a tick next to all non-Microsoft drivers.
    • Click Finish.
    • Restart your computer.

    If Windows cannot start in normal mode with driver verifier running, start in safe mode. If it cannot start in safe mode or normal mode, restore the system restore point using http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/700-system-restore.html OPTION TWO.

    Thanks to zigzag3143 for contributing to the Verifier steps.
    If you are unable to start Windows with all drivers being verified or if the blue screen crashes fail to create .dmp files, run them in groups of 5 or 10 until you find a group that causes blue screen crashes and stores the blue screen .dmp files.​
    The idea with Verifier is to cause the system to crash, so do the things you normally do that cause crashes. After you have a few crashes, upload the crash reports for us to take a look and try to find patterns.

    When you are ready to disable Verifier: Start Menu -> All Programs -> Accessories -> Right click Command Prompt -> Run as administrator -> Type the following command and then Enter:
    verifier /reset​
    -> Restart your computer.

writhziden,
Thank you for the prompt reply, I'll be trying the driver verifer and I'll look into the drivers you listed. I already updated the FNETURPX. I haven't yet had another BSOD, but when I do I'll post ASAP. Let's see what the Driver Verifier turns up. Also, I do not have any viruses, and I always do the latest Windows updates. It seems these BSODs started when I upgraded to an OCZ SSD 120gb, but that's inconclusive. And thank you so much for your help!

Dear Writhziden,

I ran the verifier per the instructions. When I rebooted, after windows loaded, I received a BSOD saying "The IO Manager has detected a violation by a driver being verified." I rebooted into safemode without a hiccup; however, I couldn't retrieve the mini dump file, since safemode was slightly unresponsive. I System Restored back to before Verifier was ran, and tried the verifier again. I received the same BSOD and booted into safemode. This time I ran a CMD Prompt and unloaded Verifier. I rebooted into Windows finely. I retrieved the MiniDump file and attached it here, zipped in RAR form.

Thank you for taking time out of your day to help me.

Please remove Daemon Tools, as it uses a driver called dtsoftbus01.sys that is known to cause BSODs (at least when Verifier is enabled; it can be re-installed once we determine the true causes if you prefer it over other software).

I prefer TotalMounter as my CD/DVD virtualization software as it allows me to burn images to a virtual CD/DVD if I just want an ISO file instead of a disc, and it is free.

Many use MagicISO - Convert BIN to ISO, Create, Edit, Burn, Extract ISO file, ISO/BIN converter/extractor/editor as well, which is also free.


Once you have removed Daemon Tools, enable Verifier again with my previous instructions.

writhziden,

Thanks again.

I removed Daemon Tools and enabled Verifier. I rebooted and the windows logon screen appeared for 1 second before going to BSOD. This time the quote was: "A device attempting to corrupt the system has been caught. The faulty driver currently on the kernal stack must be replaced with a working version." It also mentioned the driver "vsdatant.sys" in the BSOD. I then booted into safemode fine and turned off verifier. When I restarted I got a Disk Reader Error (Ctrl+Alt+Del to restart). I don't know why I got that but I was able to restart and get into windows without a problem. I attached the minidump file.

Appears to be part of TrueVector. Do you have Zone Alarm installed (I do not see its other drivers, so I assume not). If not, it is probably part of software made by the same company. Are you familiar with what software it is? If not, please post screenshots of your installed programs. Start Menu -> Control Panel -> Uninstall a program -> Take a screenshot -> Scroll down -> Take a screenshot -> Scroll down -> etc. until you have included all programs in the list.

Just had my first BSOD not caused on purpose. I booted up Empire: TW and bang!
Here's the Minidump for that, too.

I do have ZoneAlarm installed, yes. But this second BSOD doesn't seem to blame Zonealarm, or VSdayant.sys, instead cdrom.sys and ntoskrnl.sys.

Twistedben, writhziden would like to see your installed programs. Please do the following;
Click on start and type msinfo32 and press enter. This should open the “system information”
To look at the programs installed on the computer navigate under “System summary” click on “Software environment” and later click on “program groups” now on the right pane you would see the list of programs installed on the computer. Please make sure you separate the tabs enough to see items under group name and name.
Now you will need to highlight the entire list copy and paste it back here.

Recommend re-installing Zone Alarm. I also find it concerning that you have TuneUp Utilities installed...

Many of us on the forums actually do not recommend automated optimization tools for Windows 7. Windows 7 does a much better job of handling its own optimization than its predecessors did. We especially do not recommend registry cleaning as an "optimization" step because automated registry cleaning causes more harm to the registry than it actually repairs.

In the future, if you need help optimizing Windows 7, please post a thread in Performance & Maintenance - Windows 7 Forums or follow the tutorial enclosed in that forum to http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorial...ws-7-a.html?filter[2]=Performance Maintenance.


I would also recommend avoiding 3rd party defragmenting software like Defraggler Public. There are command line options that provide the same defrag options through the -w and -b flags as these 3rd party programs advertise. Defraggler public is probably one of the safer 3rd party options, but you may be interested in researching the -w and -b flags. They defrag the system for file location optimization and boot time optimization respectively.


Your crash report was rather inconclusive. I would recommend uninstalling ZoneAlarm and then downloading the latest version and re-installing. The ZoneAlarm driver blamed in the previous crash appeared to be corrupted.

Thank you for your suggestions and time.

I am re-installing ZoneAlarm right now, and then I'll run the Verifier again?
It's strange that the real BSODs I get are always inconclusive. Is there any other steps I can take to look into this, Writhziden?

Again thank you,
Twistedben

I reinstalled Zone Alarm, and tried Verifier again. This time, when booting into Windows, I got a STOP error--blue screen--saying "C000021a" (Fatal system error). It didn't create a minidump file, and there was no mention of Vsdatant.sys (I guess that's good, at least.) Do you know what's happening here?

Cause

This error occurs when a user-mode subsystem, such as WinLogon or the Client Server Run-Time Subsystem (CSRSS), has been fatally compromised and security can no longer be guaranteed. In response, the operating system switches to kernel mode. Microsoft Windows cannot run without WinLogon or CSRSS. Therefore, this is one of the few cases where the failure of a user-mode service can shut down the system.

Mismatched system files can also cause this error. This can occur if you have restored your hard disk from a backup. Some backup programs might skip restoring system files that they determine are in use.


Resolution
Running the kernel debugger is not useful in this situation because the actual error occurred in a user-mode process.

Resolving an error in a user-mode device driver, system service, or third-party application: Because bug check 0xC000021A occurs in a user-mode process, the most common culprits are third-party applications. If the error occurred after the installation of a new or updated device driver, system service, or third-party application, the new software should be removed or disabled. Contact the manufacturer of the software about a possible update.

If the error occurs during system startup, restart your computer, and press F8 at the character-based menu that displays the operating system choices. At the resulting Windows Advanced Options menu, choose the Last Known Good Configuration option. This option is most effective when only one driver or service is added at a time. If this does not resolve the error, try manually removing the offending software. If the system partition is formatted with file allocation table (FAT), use an MS-DOS startup disk to gain access to the computer's hard disk. If the system partition is formatted with NTFS file system, you might be able to use Safe Mode to rename or delete the faulty software. If the faulty software is used as part of the system startup process in Safe Mode, you need to start the computer using the Recovery Console in order to access the file. If a newly installed piece if hardware is suspected, remove it to see if this resolves the issue.

Try running the Emergency Recovery Disk (ERD) and allow the system to repair any errors that it detects.

Resolving a mismatched system file problem: If you have recently restored your hard disk from a backup, check if there is an updated version of the Backup/Restore program available from the manufacturer. Make sure the latest Windows Service Pack is installed.

Taken from Bug Check 0xC000021A: STATUS_SYSTEM_PROCESS_TERMINATED


I would recommend that you disable Driver Verifier and proceed as suggested by James7679.

After the repair install, http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorial...ation-conflicts-performing-clean-startup.html since the above error may have been due to third party application conflicts as the article I linked to suggests.


Steps 1-3 of http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/219487-clean-reinstall-factory-oem-windows-7-a.html#post1839164 may be helpful in doing the repair install.

Awh, God.
Okay, I'll do the repair install.
Thank you guys so much for guiding me along. I'll give you some Rep. I'll post back here later after the repair install and let you know how things are going. Again, thanks.
