BSOD error logs

[nabilalk]

I have had 3 BSOD's in the last week. Where does Win 7 store the log files so that I can get some help figuring out what the problem is?

Hi and welcome

Have you ever come to the right place. Dump files (*.dmp) are usually stored in c:\windows\minidump, zip the dump and upload it to use for debugging. to upload use the attachment icon in the reply form (see pic)

kapananeiso - Please make a new thread for your issues.

Anyone have any thoughts on the minidump? I have no idea how to interpret it, and would appreciate some help after the holiday of course

This is a STOP 0x124 error. It's generated by your hardware, not by Windows - so it's not real easy to figure out what's causing it.

The most likely things are:
- busted hardware
- incompatible hardware/drivers
- "borked" drivers (not all folks agree with this one).

I'd first suggest running the Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor to see if it can find any issues: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...90-7659-4BD9-9E51-2497C146AF15&displaylang=en

Could it be related to the processor being overclocked?

It would have been nice to mention the overclock in the initial posting.

Diagnosing issues on overclocked systems starts with returning the system to stock settings. Then, if the problem goes away, it's gotta be the overclock that's the problem.

Reset your system to stock settings (no overclock) and then test to see if you still get the errors. Then let us know the results of your testing.

By testing I am assume you mean using the computer normally and seeing if the problem occurs again?

 

[usasma]

Normally, yes, but try things that you think will cause a BSOD.

It sounds like I followed all of those instructions. Did I miss something? I thought that I had the Overclock listed in my System Specs. I guess that I ran out of characters to include that info.

So have you been running normally clocked at default since your last post? How is it going?
