BSOD - 7A and F4

[zipain]

Hello there, I got encouraged to post here because I have had problems with BSOD over the last few days on my new system, not extreme, but enough for me to find it a problem(since its a 14days old system).

First i had the 7A error, then after some tests etc. I reinstalled windows and yesterday i got the F4 error.

I am suspecting a faulty PSU as it can make a weird ticking sound after longer uptime(and its 110% not the fan as it only spins up at heavy load and I have manually disabled every fan by fan in my system and still had the noise: Stemme0002.mp3

But ye i suspect the PSU as its been two diffrent hardware malfuntions according to the errors and because it says that sound. But this guy was persistent that i also had the Guru advises from this forum! So I though, its always nice to get some more PoV's.

heres the .dmp file:
031513-6318-01.dmp

Its the only one i have, as its the only BSOD i have had after windows reinstall.

I have done, memtest86, prime95+furmark, checkdisk and more than i can even remember, to try pinpoint the problem. Everything in my mind, leads back to a faulty PSU.

Can you upload the dump directly to the website.

I think i did now, not sure! I put it in a zip, as .dmp was not possible.

I'm checking that but it would be helpful having all your files.

Grab all, zip and upload following the instructions: http://www.sevenforums.com/bsod-help-support/96879-blue-screen-death-bsod-posting-instructions.html

Do you have a SSD?

Hi koolkat

Answer to your question . Yes he does . It is in his System Specs.

:ar: Corsair Force Series 3 240GB SSD

Thanks Vista King!

@ OP, have you checked for a firmware update for your SSD? Because both those bug checks, 7a and F4 are related to Storage devices.

Here is the firmware v 5.03

   Tip

Might want to backup your PC just in case the update does format your drive

Oh sorry ! Ive made a grab all now!

I honestly though i had done the latest firmware update! but seems im far behind! i have updated firmware on my SSD but its 1.3.3 - You sure the one you have posted to is for "Corsair Force Series 3 240gb" ? And I did a bios update through the ASRock Internet update in the UEFI.

 

[koolkat77]

Thanks for all those, very helpful.

Right now update the firmware of the SSD and let us know if it is stable.

Run SFC scannow: SFC /Scannow Command - System File Checker

Check your hard drive(s) for errors by running chkdsk: Check your hard disk for errors

And keep us posted.

I have done a checkdisk with no problems at all.

The bluescreen dont happen so often, so its hard to say if the ssd update will fix it. No matter what the PSU is "broken" atleast its not supposed to make such a clicking sound.
Surprised that i might be so far behind on firmware on my ssd, since i though I was totally up-to-date on it.
Thanks for the help all. Ill get working!

 

[koolkat77]

We'll be here, so post if the problems continue and you need more help.

Hello again!

The system have worked perfectly ever since, have not encountered any troubles before now. This time though, its Not 7a or f4. Seems the ssd firmware update fixed that good.

Now im getting many diffrent BSOD's. as today i had memory_management, 1a and other diffrent BSOD's. This started few days ago, first with windows update continueusly updating 4 files, the same files everytime, .NET Framework 4 security updates or something like that, then i suddently started getting random fast disconnects, and then of yesterday, it all went into being blue screens. Most of the ones i found indicates driver/software faults, and since with these things happening i dont belive its the ram, as i should have seen problems with blue screens earlier, imo. It all took a drastic turn when i finally managed to delete net framework and let windows update reinstall it. After that I cant even be in windows more than 1 min before i get a blue screen. Is net framework known to have any problems, or can it just be unlucky that its corrupted and have now corrupted my whole system? i tried to do a role back, but didnt help.

fresh windows install sounds to be the right solution here, ye?

I would post BSOD's but i cant be in windows long enough to actually do it(not even in safe mode)
