Solved BSOD not specific to loading but always within 5 min of cold start

[SAllen61]

After work, crashed same BSOD ci.dll again almost immediately....
Monday-Tues it looks like I'm going to reinstall windows again.

 

[SAllen61]

confirmed Ci.dll is now locked into a deadly BSOD cycle, right after bootup and only one time around every time I fire it up.
BSOD KMODE_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED 0x0000001e caused by CI.dll

 

[SAllen61]

Ok, change again.....
received in the mail a 4 GB stick to replace the bad one and put it in, Memtest86 is ok with it.
no BSOD so far !!! at least not the dependable Ci.dll BSOD that has been happening every time I boot up the last 5 or so times.

Still holding on what's up with the system, but a mem registry twix could have been causing havoc perhaps?

not sure.....

spoke too soon, 5 seconds later BSOD, different driver ntoskrnl.exe

Last BSOD ntoskrnl.exe when adding back the missing 4 GB memory stick
next 5x Ci.dll BSOD's running 3 x4GB memory sticks and deleating Rapid storage
Rest are various BSOD's from a bad memory stick

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

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 .

Stress test the Graphics Card using Furmark.

Are you overclocking?

CPUID:        "Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-3570K CPU @ 3.40GHz"
MaxSpeed:     3400
[COLOR=Red]CurrentSpeed: 3410[/COLOR]

As you are getting BSODs, you should stop overclocking and run all the hardware components like CPU, GPU and RAM to their default settings.http://pcsupport.about.com/od/fixtheproblem/tp/clearcmos.htm

Reinstalled 314.22 video driver, clean install.

Nice. Now let us see how it goes.

Memtest should not be run less than 8 passes to complete the test.

Sigh, another BSOD KMODE_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED 0x0000001e

Stuart, I think its time to perform a wipe and clean install. I can't see the value in chasing this elusive solution any longer.

 

[SAllen61]

I'll get on it tonight then......

 

[SAllen61]

Working on the reinstall gonna take awhile

 

[SAllen61]

clean install, started well then it came back 3x so far, similar effect only once on cold boot up.

KMODE_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED

[SAllen61]

got another BSOD after work, was looking at the msn web page and blip crash

SF diag attached: crash #4 since reinstall

only did all the critical updates, not optional updates....windows is saying there are something like 54 optional updates for various computer problems but I am not sure what is required.

thanks again for bearing with me on this,

Stephen

 

[Golden]

Stuart, if any of the optional updates are drivers, then I would install them initially. They are Microsoft Certified, which I understand to mean there is less of a chance of them conflicting with Windows.

 

[SAllen61]

there are just windows updates for various reasons, optional updates they say not critical.
47 of them actually, if it BSOD's again I guess I can update everything I can get from windows update.

Scan the system for possible virus infection with the following programs.

• Anti-rootkit utility TDSSKiller
• Windows Defender Offline

 

[SAllen61]

TDSSKiller, negative even when all options checked.

WDOffline, negative even with full scan.

BTW just got another BSOD.....sigh

[SAllen61]

Thinking back, I had also upgraded my ram from 8 GByte to 16 GByte, when one stick was finally noticed to be bad and eventually replaced......still getting BSOD's, so I just pulled out the two added sticks to see if that has any effect.

Be tomorrow before I can see any difference that might make.
