BSOD errors. multiple times during multiple programs

warnmonger0 · Jul 20, 2012

windows 7 x64
- original install on system but i don't have my disks. they are somewhere...
- full retail version installed
- age of the system is approximately 3 years
- age of the install is approximately 2 years

it seems to happen at random but i get BSODs. approximately 2-3 times a day for a week or so. then nothing for a few days. I cannot seem to reproduce it manually.

i've attached my dump files and health report as advised on this site.

i disabled my antivirus before running this set of error reports as a precaution.
any help would be greatly appreciated.

Have you recently added any RAM or new hardware to this system?

Uninstall Any Daemon Tools that you have installed. Those are a common reason for BSODs

try these:

DirectX/Graphics related:

A portion of the crashes were DirectX/graphics card related. DirectX comes installed with Windows, so this may indicate Windows corruption. It may also be that you have corrupted drivers or a graphics card hardware problem.

If you are overclocking any hardware, please stop.
Check Windows for corruption. Run http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/1538-sfc-scannow-command-system-file-checker.html up to three times to fix all errors with a restart in between each. Post back if it continues to show errors after a fourth run or if the first run comes back with no integrity violations. Use OPTION THREE of http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/1538-sfc-scannow-command-system-file-checker.html to provide us with the sfcdetails.txt file if errors occur.

Follow the steps for Diagnosing basic problems with DirectX. To re-install your display card drivers as outlined in the DirectX link, use the following steps.

Download the drivers you want for your display card(s)
Click Start Menu
Click Control Panel
Click Uninstall a program
For NVIDIA:
- Uninstall the NVIDIA Graphics Driver (this should uninstall all NVIDIA software and drivers)
- Restart your computer
- Make sure NVIDIA 3D Vision Driver, NVIDIA 3D Vision Video Player, NVIDIA HD Audio Driver, and NVIDIA PhysX System Software are not still listed under Uninstall a program through Control Panel
- If any remain of the above, uninstall one at a time
- If asked to restart after uninstalling any of the above, do so, and continue uninstalling any remaining NVIDIA items until all are removed
For AMD:
- Uninstall AMD Catalyst Install Manager if it is listed (this should remove all AMD graphics software and drivers)
- If AMD Catalyst Install Manager is not listed, use the following method to uninstall the graphics drivers (this applies to onboard graphics, as well):
  1. Click Start Menu
  2. Right Click My Computer/Computer
  3. Click Manage
  4. Click Device Manager from the list on the left
  5. Expand Display adapters
  6. Do the following for each adapter (in case you have multiple display cards)
    - Right click the adapter
    - Click Uninstall (do not click OK in the dialog box that pops up after hitting Uninstall)
    - Put a tick in Delete driver software for this device (if this option is available, otherwise just hit OK) and hit OK
  Alternatively:
  1. Login as an adminstrative user
  2. Click Start Menu
  3. Click Control Panel
  4. Click Hardware and Sound
  5. Click Device Manager (the last link under Devices and Printers)
  6. Expand Display adapters
  7. Do the following for each adapter (in case you have multiple display cards)
    - Right click the adapter
    - Click Uninstall (do not click OK in the dialog box that pops up after hitting Uninstall)
    - Put a tick in Delete driver software for this device (if this option is available, otherwise just hit OK) and hit OK
Restart your computer after uninstalling drivers for all display cards
Install the driver you selected for the display cards once Windows starts

Remember to try multiple versions of the graphics drivers, download them fresh, and install the freshly downloaded drivers.

Hard Disk problems:

The 0x50 BugCheck crash indicates possible hard disk problems. The 0x50 BugCheck itself usually means faulty memory is installed, but it can also mean other possible culprits. The Npfs.SYS is what indicates it is likely hard disk related. Start with the disk check as advised by HonorGamer. The crash could mean hard disk corruption, bad sectors, a failing hard disk, Windows files or registry corruption, viruses, or memory problems.

If you are overclocking any hardware, please stop.
In regards to the disk check advised by HonorGamer: Run the disk checks on all drives with both boxes enabled for all platter hard disks and Automatically fix file system errors enabled for solid state drives.
For any drives that do not give the message:

Windows has checked the file system and found no problems
run disk check again as above. In other words, if it says:

Windows has made corrections to the file system
after running the disk check, run the disk check again.
Run all Basic tests with SeaTools: S.M.A.R.T. Check, Short Drive Self Test, Drive Information, Short Generic, and Long Generic. Run the tests for all HDDs.
SeaTools for Windows

SeaTools for DOS
If you have an SSD, make sure the following are up to date:
- SSD firmware
- BIOS Version
- Chipset Drivers
- Hard disk controller drivers/SATA drivers
- If you have a Marvell IDE ATA/ATAPI device, make sure the drivers are up to date from the Intel site or Marvell site and not from your motherboard/vendor support site.
Check Windows for corruption. Run http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/1538-sfc-scannow-command-system-file-checker.html up to three times to fix all errors with a restart in between each. Post back if it continues to show errors after a fourth run or if the first run comes back with no integrity violations. Use OPTION THREE of http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/1538-sfc-scannow-command-system-file-checker.html to provide us with the sfcdetails.txt file if errors occur.
Download and install Malwarebytes, update it, do not start the free trial, and then run a full scan. Also run a full scan with your antivirus software installed on your system. If you do not have antivirus software installed, see the http://www.sevenforums.com/system-s...-system-security-combination.html#post1732627 for better security steps and scanning tools. Make sure to update the security software before running the full scan.
Run the boot version of Memtest86+ paying close attention to Parts 2 and 3 of the tutorial. Also, in case Memtest86+ misses anything and comes up with no errors, run the extended version of the Windows Memory Diagnostics Tool for at least five passes. These you may want to run overnight since they take a long time to complete (run them an hour before bed each of the next two nights and check before going to sleep that they are still running).

Warning

Before you proceed with the following, answer these two questions: Are you still under warranty? Does your warranty allow you to open up the machine to check hardware? If you are unsure of the answers to these questions, contact your system manufacturer. :warn:WARNING: The steps that follow can void your warranty!!!

For Part 3: If You Have Errors: If you swap any memory components, follow these steps for ESD safety:
1. Shut down and turn off your computer.
2. Unplug all power supplies to the computer (AC Power then battery for laptops, AC power for desktops)
3. Hold down the power button for 30 seconds to close the circuit and ensure all power drains from components.
4. Make sure you are grounded by using proper grounding techniques, i.e. work on an anti-static workbench, anti-static desk, or an anti-static pad. Hold something metallic while touching it to the anti-static surface, or use an anti-static wristband to attach to the anti-static material while working. If you do not have an anti-static workbench, desk, or pad, you can use your computer tower/case by finding a metal hold in it, such as a drive bay.
Once these steps have been followed, it is safe to remove and replace components within your computer.

just a few things. I'll be running through your suggestions now. I do not overclock my pc, i have not installed any new ram since the original system build, and i have no daemon tools currently installed. I will run the suggestions you posted above and post back my results. thank you so much for your help. these things suck.

It may also help to have easier access to your system information: Please fill in your system specs in your profile and not in a post in this thread: http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/180324-system-info-see-your-system-specs.html

warnmonger0 · Aug 5, 2012

update: @honorGamer - i performed your instructions explicitly as stated. the checks returned no errors. @writh - i'm working on what you gave me. I'll post results back asap. working 120 hours a week so i have had minimal time with my system. thank you again for your time sincerely.
