BSOD mostly when in Chrome

[warlordprias]

I've had my laptop for 3-4 years and in the last month have begun having BSOD issues. They mostly seem to occur when loading a new web page in Chrome or when using playdominion.com which runs the game in the browser window.

I ran sfc /scannow and fixed one error, but the problem has continued. I've used Advanced SystemCare to clean the registry and it said the HD is good. I've run Memtest86+ for three passes on both sticks of memory with no errors and defragged. I've updated all drivers I could find and decided to post here before trying to figure out WinDbg on my own.

Unfortunately I had CCleaner remove several dump files. I still have three recent ones that I uploaded.

Help is appreciated.

Hey and welcome to SevenForums!rb:

BugCheck 124, {0, fffffa800338e038, b6000000, 10015}

Probably caused by : hardware

Hmm, run MemTest86+ for 8 passes, Furmark and Seatools.

Passed both short tests on SeaTools. I'll run long generic later.
Memtest took 6 hours to do 3 passes on 2MB so will be a while to get 8 on all 3MB.
Not sure I understand FurMark fully. Downloaded 1.15.2.2, set burn-in, xtreme burn in and post-FX. There wasn't a start burn-in, so clicked GPU Stress Test. Ran for 30 min with no artifacts. It wasn't displaying temp and only ever listed as running Burn-in test. How long does it need to run?

 

[Laith]

That's enough for Furmark. Run all the tests and report back.

We know that the videocard isn't failing so the videocard is out of the question. Run MemTest86+ and Seatools and bring me the results.

Additionally...

As a test, try uninstalling Chrome and see if they still occur. We have seen a couple cases where Chrome has caused Bug check 124's.

You also don't have SP1 installed, you need to install that and fully update windows.

Oh really? Chrome caused 124? That's very weird. *mind-blown*

Oh wow.

Memtest for 8 passes no errors. SeaTools Long Generic - pass. Updated SP1. Had an error in FF. I attached new dump. I saw could be related to Atheros driver Windows installed, so I updated it.

I'll keep using FF for a while and see if BSOD occurs again, or might see if I can find an older version of Chrome since the issues weren't happening before. To determine if issue is related to Chrome, do I need to uninstall, or if I don't run it should that be sufficient?

 

[Laith]

Don't running is sufficient yea.

 

[warlordprias]

I haven't had the error yet in Firefox, but some more time is needed to be sure.

If it is Chrome causing the 124 bug error, is there no way to fix it? I've tried unsuccessfuly to rollback to Chrome 40, but it keeps updating even with Update Freezer installed. Not even sure this would work, just thought it might be worth a try since the error never occurred with the older version of Chrome. Permanently switching browsers isn't my favorite solution.

 

[Laith]

Hmm, try to rollback to 30 and see if that works.
