BSOD after corrupt World of Warcraft patch, 2nd BSOD days later

[mriccio99]

Corrupted WoW patch 5.3 caused my game client and eventually entire computer to lock up upon loading into game, resulting in a BSOD.

I redownloaded and installed the entire game client and it solved the problem of the game locking up.

Everything seemed fine until this morning when I woke up to another BSOD. So I thought I would post the dumps and see if anyone had any idea what caused this one and/or the first one.

Thanks in advanced!

It appears that your Asmedia USB 3.0 driver caused the BSOD:

Driver Reference Table - asmtxhci.sys

Looking at the driver we can see it is rather old:

kd> lmvm asmtxhci
start             end                 module name
fffff880`07200000 fffff880`07264000   asmtxhci T (no symbols)           
    Loaded symbol image file: asmtxhci.sys

Please update the driver from here: ASMedia Technology Inc. ????

Other things to consider:

Removing Daemon tools, as it is a known causer of BSODs:

Start Menu\Programs\DAEMON Tools Lite

If you remove Daemon tools be sure to download and run this tool aswell:

DuplexSecure - Downloads

when the tool runs if the uninstall button is grayed out you are done and can close out of the windows if not click it and allow the tool to do its job. DO NOT click the install button it will install a driver known to cause BSODs onto your system.


You may want to think about preforming a clean start up there are many items in your start up which could be slowing your PC down during boot:

I updated the drivers on the USB 3.0 to the newest I could find, which are not much newer, only by a month or so. We will see if it works out. Daemon tools will go away soon as well, just need to keep it until I finish with a build project I am working on. Otherwise I have no use for it.

Some times updates just don't play nice with older drivers, and even if the version is only slightly newer it may still solve the problem.

That's Fine as I said it is known to cause BSODs but it didn't seem to be causing troubles in this case.
