BSOD Clean install @ random Times

[Syliax]

I just recently did a clean install on my new ssd. I have BSOD twice since the install and did not previously. Windows updates are now all up to date but where not before this BSOD. Any glaring issues is what I was wondering and If I should just wait and see if it happens again now that the system is back to the state it was before.

The first seemed to happen when I plugged my Logitech camera into the computer and it was trying to install the drivers. I did not have minidump enabled yet at this point. The second seemed random.

Thanks
Ben

Edit:

This also keeps appearing and I am unsure why. See attached pic.

Welcome to 7F Syliax. The single dump in your logs is a 0xA0 which is an INTERNAL _POWER_ERROR. First of all could you fill out your system specs as completely as possible please, I'll need to know as much about your system as possible here.

   Information

At 7F we rely heavily on knowing what hardware you have in your system, by filling out your system specs in the manner outlined below your specs will follow you round in every single post so we can see your hardware configuration at the click of a button without having to trawl through threads to find them.

​

Follow http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/180324-system-info-see-your-system-specs.html to fill in your System Specs with as much info as possible. We're looking for something like the example below.

Looking at the specifics of your dump file the first thing I'd question is the SATA connections to your motherboard and/or hard drives.

INTERNAL_POWER_ERROR (a0)
The power policy manager experienced a fatal error.
Arguments:
Arg1: 0000000000000009, A fatal error occured while preparing the hibernate file.
Arg2: ffffffffc0000185, Status code [COLOR=Red]---> STATUS_IO_DEVICE_ERROR[/COLOR]
Arg3: 0000000000000001, Mirroring phase
Arg4: 0000000000000000

The pop up window you keep experiencing would indicate a drive being recognised by Windows as if being plugged in. Can you check the physical SATA connections on both your motherboard and at your hard drives and make sure they're securely seated.

Thanks for your reply.

From that info I might have a feeling it is the hot swap drives with my Case corsair 800d. The sata connections have been off and on in the past. Looking now, that picture I posted was indeed my 60gb ssd which is not even showing up anymore as being recognized. Besides replacing the whole case, what would you recommend. Plug the drives directly into the board and ignore the hot-swap drive? Mount them inside the case maybe? Attached picture is the hotswap drive and how I have it configured now.

Yes if you can connect the drives directly to the motherboard and test for stability that would be good. If it shows the hot swap drive bays are bad then there are alternatives if the bays are removable. Connect to the motherboard and test then we'll take it from there.

Thanks I will try that. Before I even got a chance to do that another BSOD. Just want to check to see if it is the same issue or another has come up. As well, Windows updates keep failing for some reason. Any ideas why this would be? Thanks! attached new dump file.

 

[Boozad]

Yeah it's the same STOP code, same reason. Get the drives hooked up to the motherboard and see if it solves the issue then we'll go from there.

Update: No new BSODS and system is stable with the changing of the hotswap drives. Been pretty much running it non-stop. Let's hope that solved all the issues

Thanks again!!
