BSOD Crash Problems - Need Help!

[Chromatikk]

Is Windows 7 . . .
- x64 ?
- I originally had Vista 32 bit pre-installed, but I upgraded to W7 32 bit, and eventually W7 64 bit.

- What is the age of system (hardware)?
I have made a lot of upgrades to my hardware, currently sitting at 6GB Ram, AMD Phenom 9850 quad core processor, and a NVIDIA GeForce GTX 460.
- What is the age of OS installation (have you re-installed the OS?)
I had a virus from a fake anti virus software download ( /sigh )... so I decided to reinstall the OS (W7 64 bit -> W7 64 bit). It was not a complete reinstall, but it kept the old files in windows.old folder.
I retrieved the music/documents/pictures from my old OS folder and properly deleted the windows.old file.
All the problems that I had from the virus were gone, and I'm now using Glary Utilities as well as Microsoft Security Essentials for computer cleanup.


The only problem I am currently having is this: when I leave my computer running (AFK), without a user, after long enough it will blue screen and restart with the error message telling me what happened. I have no idea what is causing this.
Please help. Thank you.

Two problems

1-ASACPI.SYS a major cause of BSOD's in the 2005 rev.

The pre 2009 version of this driver is a known BSOD cause.

The 2005 version of this driver is a known BSOD cause.
Please visit this link: ASUSTeK Computer Inc. -Support- Drivers and Download P7P55D LE ASUSTeK Computer Inc. -Support- Drivers and Download P7P55D LE
Scroll down to the Utilities category, then scroll down to the "ATK0110 driver for WindowsXP/Vista/Windows 7 32&64-bit" (it's about the 12th item down).
Download and install it.
Go to C:\Windows\System32\drivers to check and make sure that the ASACPI.sys file is date stamped from 2009 or 2010 (NOT 2005).


2-Virtually all of the crashes were related to your video driver/card. I would re-install just the driver using this method.

When upgrading your graphic driver you MUST remove all traces of the current driver. In order to do that we recommend using Guru3D - Driver Sweeper

Or if the above doesnt work for you. Phyxion.net - Driver Sweeper

When it is removed then download and install the fresh copy.

Thank you very much for the assistance, I've installed both drivers (I uninstall-ed the graphics drivers using Driver Sweeper) and will report back soon to tell if it worked or not.
Thanks a ton for the help, I'm hoping you won't have to hear from me again.

I'm still having problems.
I did a new BSOD report.
:S

I'm still having problems.
I did a new BSOD report.
:S

Still being caused by a video timeout.

"It's not a true crash, in the sense that the bluescreen was initiated only because the combination of video driver and video hardware was being unresponsive, and not because of any synchronous processing exception.

Since Vista, the "Timeout Detection and Recovery" (TDR) components of the OS video subsystem have been capable of doing some truly impressive things to try to recover from issues which would have caused earlier OSs like XP to crash.

As a last resort, the TDR subsystem sends the video driver a "please restart yourself now!" command and waits a few seconds.

If there's no response, the OS concludes that the video driver/hardware combo has truly collapsed in a heap, and it fires off that stop 0x116 BSOD.

If playing with video driver versions hasn't helped, make sure the box is not overheating.

Try removing a side panel and aiming a big mains fan straight at the motherboard and GPU.

Run it like that for a few hours or days - long enough to ascertain whether cooler temperatures make a difference.

If so, it might be as simple as dust buildup and subsequently inadequate cooling.

I would download cpu-z and gpu-z (both free) and keep an eye on the video temps Let us know if you need help STOP 0x116: VIDEO_TDR_ERROR troubleshooting - Windows 7 Forums

I'm playing with my graphics drivers more, I've taken off the side of my tower to allow airflow, which usually helps it from overheating, but I don't believe thats the problem; the GTX 460 has been running substantially cooler then my previous GT 8800...
I did a lot of uninstalling drivers again, this time manually as opposed to using the software suggested. Seems to have helped, then again well see.
Again, thanks for the help.
