BSOD Frequently while gaming or watching videos

[Sidaithe]

Hey all
Thanks for any advice you can give me.
So recently my computer has started BSOD and I'm getting quite annoyed. I've included a zip of all the DMP files. The error code it gives me is different every time. So I'm not quite sure what to google.

I'm not sure what other information you guys will need so if I need to add something please just ask me to. I'll be active on this thread until it's resolved.

Thanks again for any help!

EDIT: Okay so I uploaded the new logs.

We need more information to analyze your logs. Follow Blue Screen of Death (BSOD) Posting Instructions, let the tool run until it has completely finished and then upload the new logs.

 

[Sidaithe]

Update:

So it looks like full screen videos make me BSOD. I don't know if this helps but there ya go.

I was also looking at a few other thread with similar issues, but they are so out dated when I try to use the links provided they don't work anymore, or lead to something different than what was originally linked.

Please help!

Thanks for anything!

 

[Sidaithe]

Lots of views and no responses.

Is there something easy that I'm missing, or does this happen to others often and there is an obvious answer staring me in the face and I'm just not seeing it? Please help! It hasn't stopped yet, and I've tried multiple things.

 

[Boozad]

It would help if you included the dumps in a new post instead of editing your original post hours later. People will skip the original post knowing there's nothing of value there. I'll take a look tonight.

 

[Sidaithe]

Okay here are the new dumps.

I've also scanned computer for virus/malware and found nothing.

And I ran CHKDSK and it said it was clean.

Thanks for any help!

Your Logitech G Series headset driver is causing problems. It's pretty old and could probably do with updating. Check here for an updated version.

 0x7F Double Fault

This one is particularly tricky, my first question would be are you overclocking? If so, remove the overclock now.

I think this may be pointing towards your graphics card, but we'll give MemTest86+ a run anyway.

Download and run MemTest86+ to test your RAM. http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/105647-ram-test-memtest86.html

   Note

Run MemTest86+ for at least 8 passes. Ideally set it off before you go to bed and leave it overnight, we're looking for zero errors here. A single error will show something's going bad with your RAM.

   Note

Run Furmark for around 30 minutes.

   Warning

Your GPU temperatures will rise quickly while Furmark is running. Keep a keen eye on them, if the temperature continues to rise steadily once it has reached 80°C be prepared to stop the test so as to not damage your GPU.

Hey thanks for the help. But I haven't been able to try to fix it yet. I woke up this morning to another bsod. Wasn't completely unheard of but this time was different. This time I went to reboot and it said there was a problem with windows. And I need my instalation disc. So I haven't found it yet but I'm going to find it and repair when I get home. I had to post this from my phone. Any advice? If not, I'll just get it going again and then try all your previous advice.

 

[Boozad]

Take a read through this http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/219533-troubleshooting-windows-7-failure-boot.html

If you're still struggling to boot remove your graphics card from your PC and try again.

 

[Sidaithe]

Unfortunately my mb doesn't have a built in graphics card so I can't boot without my card in. The repair disc couldn't repair my os. I'm running windows memory diagnostics right now. Then I'll probably do a clean install of windows and hope for the best

 

[Sidaithe]

Memory diagnostics didn't find anything wrong. So I'm doing a clean install. I have both Windows 7 and 8. Can you recommend one or the other? Officially my mb isn't compatible with win 8 but it seems like my computer was having less problems with 8 installed then with 7.

 

[Sidaithe]

Well I found what's wrong. I don't quite know how it happened but the partition of my ssd with windows on it got completely erased some how.....? How? Lol oh well.

 

[Boozad]

I've absolutely no idea how that happened, it's impossible to happen within Windows itself. Keep us informed on how the install goes.

 

[Sidaithe]

Ok I'm back up and running. Installing my network card driver now. Next post should be from my computer

 

[Sidaithe]

Okay, I've now installed my network card driver and my graphics card driver. I'm currently downloading the latest driver (Released 2 days ago) for my video card and it will be installed shortly. The only odd thing now, is when I boot the computer, it gives me two options of windows 7 and asks me to select from them, if I select the top one, everything boots fine, to this clean version of windows which shows no signs of the other version even existing at all. And I haven't selected the other one yet, but I'm assuming it will just take me to that "Failed to boot" screen where it will tell me to insert my install disc and repair.

So, I have kind of a flood of questions. If you could answer any of them I would really appreciate it

Do you have any recommendations for a program that will find any drivers I need and tell me what they are?

Do you have a virus protection that you recommend? I was using Avast, but have used AVG in the past.

Is there anything I should install now as a clean boot that will prevent the BSOD problem?

What should I do to check if the BSOD problem is still happening? Just wait for it to happen again?

Do you have any other program recommendations that I should install?

Is there any way to recover my stuff from the last installation? It doesn't seem like it me, but I'm hoping you might know of a way.

Did you format the whole SSD? It sounds like your old OS was corrupt (not deleted) and you've managed to set up a dual boot.

So, I have kind of a flood of questions. If you could answer any of them I would really appreciate it

Do you have any recommendations for a program that will find any drivers I need and tell me what they are?

I always source drivers from manufacturers myself. Take a look at Device Manager and see which items have :warn: next to them. Report back with the info.

Do you have a virus protection that you recommend? I was using Avast, but have used AVG in the past.

If you have no aversion to paying for an AV suite then my personal recommendation would be F-Secure. I've used this for nearly two years now and have been highly impressed. All other AVs can and do cause BSODs on a random but regular basis, the only free one that doesn't is Microsoft Security Essentials.

Is there anything I should install now as a clean boot that will prevent the BSOD problem?

I can't answer that, I would introduce drivers and programs to the system slowly and test the if a BSOD occurs make a note of the last installed driver/program and check for any updates or uninstall it and test again.

What should I do to check if the BSOD problem is still happening? Just wait for it to happen again?

Pretty much. You could run Driver Verifier to test your drivers but if you're BSOD free I wouldn't recommend it.

Do you have any other program recommendations that I should install?

What sort of programs? General maintenance? Anti-Malware? Let me know what you want and I'll see if I can help. If you're just after general recommendations I'll name a few I'd recommend.

Is there any way to recover my stuff from the last installation? It doesn't seem like it me, but I'm hoping you might know of a way.

Hard to say. It sounds like that install is still there (were all of your files stored on the same driver as the OS?) and could possibly be saved. If you want help trying to recover it I can ask someone who is well versed in it.

In the meantime can you post a screenshot of Disk Management please.

 

[Sidaithe]

Okay, sorry for the long reply, I got sick and was playing a ton of catch up for work and school. Anyway I'm back now.

Did you format the whole SSD? It sounds like your old OS was corrupt (not deleted) and you've managed to set up a dual boot.

I didn't format it manually. Will that cause future problems? Should I go ahead and actually format it?

I always source drivers from manufacturers myself. Take a look at Device Manager and see which items have :warn: next to them. Report back with the info.

In my device manager as of now, there are only 2 things with that symbol next to it. There is "PowerPC Processor" and "Universal Serial Bus (USB) Controller"

If you have no aversion to paying for an AV suite then my personal recommendation would be F-Secure. I've used this for nearly two years now and have been highly impressed. All other AVs can and do cause BSODs on a random but regular basis, the only free one that doesn't is Microsoft Security Essentials.

Ok great, thanks. I'll look into that!

I can't answer that, I would introduce drivers and programs to the system slowly and test the if a BSOD occurs make a note of the last installed driver/program and check for any updates or uninstall it and test again.

Okay so I got another BSOD, and attached the form to this post. But the only thing that I did was install windows updates. Like, I installed some games and stuff before I let windows update and was playing them and watching videos and stuff just fine, no blue screen all night. Then after I installed windows updates it gave me a bsod again.

What sort of programs? General maintenance? Anti-Malware? Let me know what you want and I'll see if I can help. If you're just after general recommendations I'll name a few I'd recommend.

Yeah just looking for general maintenance. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

It's not a huge deal, just some stuff I'd miss a little but not too important. Anything important I already had backed up. I did include the pic of my disk management though just in case it's something easy.

 

[Boozad]

OK, your System and Active flags have been placed onto Disk 1, this means Disk 0 won't boot without Disk 1 present. We need to fix that, I'll get back to you tonight with how to resolve it as I have to head out to work now. I'll give you more detailed info on your other questions too.

 

[gregrocker]

Gavin asked me to look at your thread.

First, to answer many of your questions, read over Clean Reinstall Windows 7 so you understand what's work best in tens of thousands of installs we've helped with here. That tutorial has been used by over 1.3 million consumers without a single complaint. If yours differs much you can do it over, or at least it may answer your drivers question since those steps are so important they're printed in red, and the best tools and methods can help you finish setting it up perfectly.

As to your disk configuration, I see that C is the OS you're booted into now (Boot) so I'm assuming its the one you want to keep. But an old System Reserved partition from the other drive is now booting C, so to correct this move the Bootmgr - Move to C:\ with EasyBCD - Windows 7 Forums. Be sure that C becomes set as primary hard drive and/or first hard drive to boot in BIOS setup.

Once C is marked System Active in Disk Mgmt, if necessary assign a drive letter to System Reserved to Mark Partition as Inactive if it's still Active, then it should allow you to Delete it in Disk Mgmt so it can't cause future problems because a Startup Repair moves the System flag back there.

Thanks Greg, much appreciated as usual. Sidaithe, please follow Greg to get your drive issues sorted first and foremost, you're in very good hands with him. Once your install is good and your disk issues are sorted we'll go back to the BSODs.
