BSOD after disconnecting HDMI and subsequently closing browser (FF)

[ilseholland]

Hello everyone,

Any help greatly appreciated with a BSOD problem I've been having today.

After both instances when my pc had been connected to the tv via HDMI and I disconnected the projector I was presented with a BSOD after shutting down my browser (Firefox).

In both cases the Event Viewer shows that it was an issue with Event ID 41 and Event properties as follows:

EventData

BugcheckCode 59

BugcheckParameter1 0xc0000005

BugcheckParameter2 0xfffff960000f6373

BugcheckParameter3 0xfffff88008be1070

BugcheckParameter4 0x0

SleepInProgress false

PowerButtonTimestamp 0


I have had problems with BSODs before, but they were resolved after changing the drivers of my network adapter (I say change rather than update because it only let me roll back to older versions of the driver and would not let me install a new one, see here: http://www.sevenforums.com/bsod-help-support/181702-bsod-bugcheckcode-0x000000d1.html). I have been problem-free since, even after having formatted my PC in (if I remember correctly) June 2012.

Thanks very much for looking and any suggestions greatly appreciated (dump files attached if required)!

*edit* Dump files updates as I attached an incomplete zip-file, was told all had been grabbed but then it grabbed some more. */edit*

Hi...

The BSOD-s seem to be caused by very old video drivers:

Perform a clean install of the drivers:

Sometimes drivers remain, not completely uninstalled. Follow this tutorial for complete removal of drivers of the particular program:

• How to Clean Left Over Driver Files with Driver Sweeper

Don't worry about the title ATI Catalyst 'Vista'. These drivers are meant for Win Vis, Win 7 and Win 8 as well. Or go with the ATI automatic detection tool if you prefer.

• Download AMD Catalyst Drivers 13.1 Vista 64 - FileHippo.com
• AMD Driver Autodetect

Check for a BIOS update:

BIOS Version/Date	American Megatrends Inc. R0300Y8, 20/07/2010

Your BIOS dates from 2010. Please check at the manufacturer's website to see if there are any BIOS updates available for your system. Also check the readme file to see if they apply to the problems that you are having. Please be advised that flashing the BIOS is a very unforgiving process - and one mistake can physically damage your motherboard.

Let us know the results and further BSOD reports if any.

Thanks for the help and all the suggestions (a lot of them!). I'll give them an try, see how I get on with them and let you know if the problem has been solved!

 

[koolkat77]

Keep us updated

 

[koolkat77]

Any update?

 

[ilseholland]

Hi koolkat, thanks for asking. I've not had a chance to have a proper sit-down yet to try and sort all of this out, there is so much on the list that it is almost a bit daunting/scary so I want to take my time when I try and do it. But I promise I will let you know as soon as I have!

On the bright side it hasn't happened again since, at least not so far

 

[koolkat77]

Any news?

 

[ilseholland]

Hi koolkat, not so far, I thought the problem had resolved itself (slthough why would it if I didn't do anything), but it's happened again for a 2nd time this week so good sit down and a look at your suggestions very much required, will probably get on it this weekend. Thanks again.
