BSOD / LOCKUP Video Trigger

[bdmaurer]

Been trying to figure out what is causing the BSOD / lockups that I've been experiencing. Sometimes the machine flat out locks up, and the speakers blast some loud death noise. System locks, nothing exits out. Have to reset the machine. Nothing really sticking out as the problem. Did a memory test, HDD test, even switched out the video card. Still have the error every now and then. Any ideas? I've attached the required zip.

Hi bdmaurer,

Welcome to the 7forums and apologies for the delay.

Are you still in need of help?

Yes, I am still hoping to find out what is causing this problem. Thanks in advance.

Please upload a fresh zip from the DM Log Collector.

I see a BSOD from 16th last month, have no BSOD recently occured?

It may have been that long ago. The machine locks up all the time, freezing the image, and playing a very loud buzzing noise from the speakers when it does. I figured that the BSOD log would catch these crashes. Nothing in the zip file indicates other problems? I did a RAM test, everything is fine. Checked the HDDs, everything seems fine. I've swapped out video cards and the crash still happens. Outside of a software issue, the only think I'm left with is a malfunction with the motherboard. I've updated the BIOS, and the drivers for everything, but still these crashes occur.

That is not correct, because freeze crashes are no BSOD crashes. BSOD crashes are problems that Windows can catch, freeze crashes are crashes Windows cannot catch because Windows cannot respond to it.
