[Ascendents]

Seatools has passed all tests with success, If i have another blue screen i'll report back. Thanks for the help so far.

 

[essenbe]

No problem. I hope everything works out well for you.

Display Driver once again Stopped responding and recovered. I've already done a clean install and my Video card Driver is Up to date what gives?

 

[essenbe]

Do you want to try Driver Verifier? Unless it is a conflicting driver or a plain bad driver, with video cards it's your GPU Driver, the card itself, the PSU or the Motherboard. That's about all that's involved.

 

[Ascendents]

I Could try i should note my Audio driver was out of date and is now Updated.

Be sure to create a restore point before beginning. The link is in the first section. It can be your only way back. Your computer will be a little sluggish, but there are no restrictions, do anything you want to. Please run it for 24 hours of use, not just idling. It puts stress on the drivers and tries to make it crash in order to catch the bad driver. Sort the drivers by provider and enable all drivers NOT provided by Microsoft. But, don't enable Force pending I/O requests.

   Warning

Be sure to create a System Restore point before proceeding further http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/697-system-restore-point-create.html

Driver Verifier - Enable and Disable
Run Driver Verifier for 24 hours or the occurrence of the next crash, whichever is earlier.

   Information

What is Driver Verifier:
It puts stress on the drivers, and tries to make the faulty driver crash the computer. It is designed this way, to attempt to trap the offending driver.

What you will notice:
It will tend to make the computer rather slow and sluggish because the drivers are being stressed.

   Warning

Before enabling DV, make sure you have created a system restore point before enabling Driver Verifier. make a System Restore Point manually before enabling DV.

   Tip

• If you fail to get on the Desktop because of DV, Boot into Advanced Boot Options > Safe mode. Disable DV there. Now boot normally again, and try following the instruction of enabling DV again.
• If you cannot boot in Safe mode, do a System Restore to a point you made earlier.

Let us know the results, with the subsequent crash dumps, if any.

I'll set this up before i Get off here shortly. It might be a dumb question but can i Just sit idle at the desktop for the 24 hours with the Verifier enabled?

 

[essenbe]

A lot of people do, but I think it better if you are actually using it. Maybe play some games or something. However you want to do it is fine.

 

[Ascendents]

I Was Planning on having my desktop idle while i sleep and for when i leave tomorrow. Also I know it seems stubborn but I'm Going to wait until the next Crash or BSOD before doing this since I Updated my Audio Driver. I want to hope that was the issue because i did notice some audio cutting in and out last night. (Crosses Fingers)

 

[Ascendents]

Something Just wanted to note I've been playing for the last 30 Minutes CPU Maxing out at 47c and Video card Maxing out at 55c.

 

[essenbe]

Those are pretty good temps. No problems there. As far as Driver Verifier, do it whenever you like. it's fine with me.

 

[Ascendents]

Yep, I will report tomorrow with any issues If i cross them. I'm Putting Verifier on standby until then.

 

[Ascendents]

I Had another display driver stopped responding earlier today, I went ahead and replaced ESET With Security essentials Crashing has stopped for now. I'm Glad it stopped crashing but I'm sorta upset I can't use ESET if it's really causing me to crash.

 

[essenbe]

I don't know. I just read what the dumps say. If it seems to be ESET, they have a forum you may try. It could be just a piece of software that clashes with it.

 

[Ascendents]

I'll keep using my computer and if i have an issue after ESET Goes away, i'll report back until then everything seems to be good.

 

[Ascendents]

Avast internet security was what i used before, I never had an issue with it but i wanted to try other Antiviruses

 

[essenbe]

When you removed it did you use their removal utility? https://www.avast.com/uninstall-utility

 

[Ascendents]

I haven't reinstalled in since i formatted windows 2 months ago

 

[essenbe]

Ok. Just thought there may have been left over drivers.

 

[Ascendents]

I may reinstall it and see if i have any issues with it.
