BSOD happening all of a sudden

[5t341th]

hey guys.
having recent problems with my windows 7 OS.
I'm getting BSOD on startups. This started recently and occurs during idle or viewing videos. I've tried WhoCrashed and found out it might be my nvidia drivers for my mobo, but i've updated them and still crashes. any help?
I'm running windows 7 32bit

Not sure how else I can explain my problems. I've attached the dump files; hopefully you guys can figure it out for me. Thanks bunches

These crashes were mainly caused by memory corruption/exception (probably a driver).
Please run these two tests to verify your memory and find which driver is causing the problem.
If you are overclocking anything reset to default before running these tests.
In other words STOP!!!


Memtest.

*Download a copy of Memtest86 and burn the ISO to a CD using Iso Recorder or another ISO burning program. Memtest86+ - Advanced Memory Diagnostic Tool

*Boot from the CD, and leave it running for at least 5 or 6 passes.

Just remember, any time Memtest reports errors, it can be either bad RAM or a bad motherboard slot.

Test the sticks individually, and if you find a good one, test it in all slots.

Any errors are indicative of a memory problem.

If a known good stick fails in a motherboard slot it is probably the slot.

Driver verifier

Using Driver Verifier is an iffy proposition. Most times it'll crash and it'll tell you what the driver is. But sometimes it'll crash and won't tell you the driver. Other times it'll crash before you can log in to Windows. If you can't get to Safe Mode, then you'll have to resort to offline editing of the registry to disable Driver Verifier.

So, I'd suggest that you first backup your stuff and then make sure you've got access to another computer so you can contact us if problems arise. Then make a System Restore point (so you can restore the system using the Vista/Win7 Startup Repair feature).

Then, here's the procedure:
- Go to Start and type in "verifier" (without the quotes) and press Enter
- Select "Create custom settings (for code developers)" and click "Next"
- Select "Select individual settings from a full list" and click "Next"
- Select everything EXCEPT FOR "Special Pool", "Force Pending I/O Requests" and "Low Resource Simulation" and click "Next"
- Select "Select driver names from a list" and click "Next"
Then select all drivers NOT provided by Microsoft and click "Next"
- Select "Finish" on the next page.

Reboot the system and wait for it to crash to the Blue Screen. Continue to use your system normally, and if you know what causes the crash, do that repeatedly. The objective here is to get the system to crash because Driver Verifier is stressing the drivers out. If it doesn't crash for you, then let it run for at least 36 hours of continuous operation (an estimate on my part).

Reboot into Windows (after the crash) and turn off Driver Verifier by going back in and selecting "Delete existing settings" on the first page, then locate and zip up the memory dump file and upload it with your next post.

If you can't get into Windows because it crashes too soon, try it in Safe Mode.
If you can't get into Safe Mode, try using System Restore from your installation DVD to set the system back to the previous restore point that you created.

We dont encourage the use of Blue Screen View, or Who crashed because they both erroneously blame OS files when thee actual cause may be something else.. Please follow JMH'S instructions .

thanks. i will try swapping memory sticks and see how it goes

 

[5t341th]

Hi, I'm still having the same problems. sometimes its memory_management and sometimes its irql_not_less.....
i've RMA my ram and bought new corsair memory.
still having same problems. it bsod on startup right away. also, sometimes when i boot up, the computer does nothing. i have to shutdown/boot up several times before it "startsup"

i've bought 4 sticks of 2gb DDr ram and it've memtested each one. each test was ran for 1 pass. one gives me 4 errors
the current setup with 2 sticks ran for 2 hours with no errors

 

[5t341th]

i was running the minidump files and it BSOD again. this time was Bad_pool_header. FYI, i was in safemode too


another one
the driver is mismanaging PTE

 

[writhziden]

The files you uploaded contained a lot of corruption. Your crashes have NTFS in the stack, which may suggest that corruption is due to hard disk errors or a faulty hard disk.

• Run Disk Check with both boxes checked for all HDDs and with Automatically fix file system errors checked for all SSDs. Post back your logs for the checks after finding them using http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/96938-check-disk-chkdsk-read-event-viewer-log.html
  
  
• Use HD Diagnostic to find your hard disk manufacturer and the diagnostic tools provided by the manufacturer. If you have a Samsung drive, use the Seagate SeaTools and run the short and long tests for the drive.

 

[5t341th]

i've ran the disk check and also the hd diagnostic with seagate tools.
i've been doing a bit of reading and it might be the video card driver
heres my latest dump files. please help me diagnose this!! ive been without my desktop for months

i've also ran driver verifier and it crashed displaying usbohci.sys
could that be the culprit?

1. Never seen this crash before... Research suggests this is a driver caused crash. Yours is pointing to your ESET antivirus software... ESET normally does not cause crashes, so I suspect something else at work here.
2. Same type of crash. This one indicated ReadyBoost. Are you using a ReadyBoost enabled flash drive?
3. Possible cause is drivers... You do have a number of outdated drivers listed above.

ESET normally does not cause crashes, but yours is outdated. Can you install the latest version? That may help with your crashes.

You also have a network adapter driver that is out of date. nvm62x32.sys We see a lot of blue screen crashes related to out of date network adapter drivers.

Additionally, try updating as many of the above listed possible out of date drivers as you can. If the device that requires an outdated driver is not required for using your computer, remove it. See if this improves stability.

 

[5t341th]

so i get fed up with the crashes and am installing a fresh install of windows 7 64bit.
was installing it and after the second restart, the install crashed with a blue screen. I'm so annoyed with the crashes. I just want to build a new computer setup.
the crashes are related to
"the driver is mismanaging system PTEs"

also, if i use my new gtx550 video card, on computer startup, the screen stays black and monitor blinks.
if i use my older 9800gt video card, it displays the screen fine. what could be the problem here?

 

[writhziden]

My first instinct is a power supply problem. What PSU do you have?

Can you fill out your system specs more completely in your profile?

 

[5t341th]

Specs:
Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit
Intel Core 2 Quad Q6700 @ 2.66
XFX Nforce 750I
4 GB Corsair XMS 6400
EVGA Geforce GTX550 Ti

Thermaltake 500W PSU

 

[writhziden]

That power supply should be enough assuming your other peripherals are also rated for it and the PSU is functioning properly. The minimum for your graphics card is 400 W: GeForce GTX 550 Ti - Specifications - GeForce
