Solved BSOD 2nd machine

[BDM]

This is my other home build recently suffering the BSOD. All stock, except I have MSI AB for graphics card control. It's off, and still the BSOD occur every 5 minutes to 20 minutes, just idling, or even when shutting down or booting up. I could not run a perfmon /report it just errors out. Specs are:

Gigabyte EP45-UD3P
Q9550 Core 2 quad
WD 320/gb Blue
Crucial 4/gb RAM (2x2 modules)
No on-board sound
Windows 7 Home Premium

Thank you,
Brian

Hello,

Start by installing this updated Realtek ethernet driver: Realtek

Also run some hardware diagnostics, starting with the three Prime95 tests: http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/100352-cpu-stress-test-prime95.html

Next, run SeaTools: SeaTools for Windows | Seagate

Memtest86 is also a good ideal: http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/105647-ram-test-memtest86.html

Finally, run driver verifier: http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/101379-driver-verifier-enable-disable.html

Jonathan I'll do that. I thought the Realtek was up to date (per DriverGenius), but I'm starting to wonder how good that program is. I did run memtest86 the other day for several hours. As usual, no faults. Though I sometimes wonder. Thank you.

Brian

 

[BDM]

Updated the Realtek driver, ran both memtest and prime95, both passed after a few hours. I have the driver verification running, and it was running during the dump. Not sure what to pull off that. Here is the dump file of the latest crashes

 

[DeanP]

Please remove DriverGenius - those sort of programs cause nothing but problems.

 

[Jonathan_King]

What is the make/model of your PSU?

Go ahead and turn off Driver Verifier now; apparently this problem is not with drivers but rather with hardware.

We are seeing some hard drive errors:

Due to the frequency of these errors, I suspect a bad hard drive. Please run SeaTools, both the Short and Long DSTs.

Also, open a command prompt and enter chkdsk /r.

I ran a full disc scan using WD tools if that matters, found no errors. Also Windows ran a disc check on it's own after the last crash. It went into scan before boot-up. No errors found. If this continues, I may just run a Windows repair. And if faults still occur, I'll try another HD. Thanks for the assistance gents.

P.S., I unloaded DriverGenius the other day. The problems seemed to occur after it's use. Though I've used it for a long time without issues. But I understand the fact that wrong drivers may get used, or even new drivers can create issues.

 

[Jonathan_King]

You may try a system restore to revert those changed DriverGenius made: http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/700-system-restore.html

If you know exactly which drivers were updated, a more convenient option would be to do a driver rollback of those: Device Manager - Roll Back Driver - Vista Forums

 

[BDM]

Just a note. I did a system repair last night. Haven't had a crash all day. Thanks for the help gents.

 

[Jonathan_King]

Glad to hear that BDM; post back in a few days and hopefully we can get this thread marked as Solved.

 

[BDM]

I've been using it non-stop, and have left it running. It was BSOD ever 5 to 30 minutes previously. Now not once. I know when I used that DriverGenius, that's when the problems started. It has since been uninstalled. I normally go straight to the manufacture for updates, but thought DG may make it easier. Oh yeah, made it easy all right Thanks again folks for the help.
