Solved BSOD every 24 hours or so

[byterj]

This computer runs vmware workstation only. Tried to update Bios, drivers.

Ran memtest86 for 24 hours with no errors.

 

[byterj]

anyone?

Uninstall LogMein mirror. The driver seems to be extremely old.

Thanks for the response!

What i did so far: Fresh install of LogMeIn with no mirror driver (the program still works just fine), instructions in the end (if some1 else needs it someday) and run the Furmark for half hour, no issues.

Oh, i attached new SF log with the mirror driver removed and more more BSOD report (happened tonight, before i uninstalled the driver)



...


LogMeIn no mirror drivers instructions

1. Please download this file <​

https://secure.logmein.com/logmein.zip

> .
2. Next, create a folder in the C:/ drive called lmi. Then open the LogMeIn.zip file and extract it to the lmi
folder.
3. Next, go to Start, then Run, and type cmd.
4. To find your system type, Right click on the My Computer icon, and choose properties:
o If the local operating system is 32-bit, then at the command prompt, type:
1. cd C:\lmi\x86 (hit enter)
2. logmein install -nomirrordrv (hit enter)
o If the local operating system is 64-bit, then at the command prompt, type:
1. cd C:\lmi\x64 (hit enter)
2. logmein install -nomirrordrv (hit enter)
5. You will then receive a message that install was successful. Close the command prompt window and click "Open
LogMeIn" on the message that appears, and follow the steps to assign the computer to your LogMeIn account. ​

Are you overclocking? As you are getting BSODs, you should stop overclocking and run all the hardware components like CPU, GPU and RAM to their default settings.

Check if the Power Supply Unit (PSU) supplying adequate power to the computer or not.
eXtreme Power Supply Calculator
Let us know the wattage of the PSU, too.

Is the computer hot? Report us the heat of the computer after a couple of hours of your normal usage. Upload a screenshot of the summery tab of Speccy. Alternatively, you can publish a Speccy snapshot too: http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/311593-speccy-publish-snapshot-your-system-specs.html .

Test your RAM modules for possible errors.
How to Test and Diagnose RAM Issues with Memtest86+
Run memtest for at least 8 passes, preferably overnight.
If it start showing errors/red lines, stop testing. A single error is enough to determine that something is going bad there.

No overclock, my PSU is a 430w Corsair (i have a mirror system with same compounds doing the same job and no problems)

http://speccy.piriform.com/results/SpuNvQowOv7Y0u3wFZoPsFA (almost full load, cpu temps looks fine)
Furmark for half hour, no error

The system have 32gb ram, i left memtest for 24 hours with no error (not sure how many passses)

If another BSOD happens i think i will exchange parts with the other computed i have (they are the same, except the other one is rock solid) to see whats faulty.

Do you think its hardware for sure?

 

[Arc]

What is the result of Prime95?

Your BIOS date is very latest .... is it a brand new motherboard, or you updated the BIOS?

If the motherboard is brand new, RMA it. Or if it is old, how old it is? Coz, you are saying that temps are looking fine, but the fact is temps are extreme.

View attachment 294830

If the motherboard/computer is old (and you cannot RMA it), dismantle the PC. Clean everything inside it, but very carefully. Clean all the air vents, and fan grills so that it can blow the hot air out efficiently. While re-seating, apply new thermal paste to the CPU.



Also, 430 watts of a power supply cannot be enough to run your system. Either downgrade the system or upgrade the PSU, to at least 650 watts.

And, we need to know the result of Prime95 test, too.

Let us know when all are done.

EDIT: What is the capacity of your cooler and heat-sink fan?

 

[byterj]

Didn't ran prime95 yet because im using the PC for doing a urgent task, will do when possible!

The motherboard is new, and i updated the bios trying to solve the BSODs

I have a mirror system using same compounds (bought all in same place) except SSD.

Mirror snapshot here http://speccy.piriform.com/results/BAlWUXBmyImKA6h5av8wzB2

About temps, my guess is that motherboard temperature is not reported correctly.
Oh, CPU usage is 80~100% for all time (vmware workstation).
About CPU temperature i think is OK also (OK, not very good, but shoudnt cause a BSOD), a quote from another hardware forum "Yeah, these chips run hot. I see spikes all the time past 80C with an h80i. My tuniq tower 120 extreme was a little better, but I still saw 79C under full load." and im using intel stock cooler.

What im planning to do in next BSOD is a windows fresh install and wait to see if its gonna BSOD again. If yes, i will try to replace VGA and after that memories just to make sure. Gonna check to see if the other PC will BSOD when i swap parts. Finally Swap PSU and if its not solved pretty sure its the motherboard.

But guess what, didnt BSOD since we removed that driver, so i hope it remains running

Thankssss

 

[byterj]

look what i found:

System that crashes:

Graphics
Standard Monitor (1024x768@60Hz)
2047MB NVIDIA GeForce GT 640 (ZOTAC International):
56 °C

The good one:

Graphics
Standard Monitor (1920x1080@60Hz)
2048MB NVIDIA GeForce GT 640 (ZOTAC International):
57 °C

Any clue why the bad system report VGA with 1 less MB? The VGAs are same model!

 

[byterj]

So far so good, 48 hours without BSODs!

Solution in post #4

Thanks Arc!

 

[Arc]

A good job done by you

Let us know for any further issue.

I would suggest you to measure the temps using any other program too. If it is really near about 100 degrees, it is fatal.
