BSOD Occurring Multiple Times Per Day (no singular cause)

[Brothahill666]

I have had my computer for almost a year now. During that time, I may have experienced the blue screen once or twice. As such, I did not find cause for concern just yet. However, after applying the free upgrade to Windows 10, I began to experience one or two blue screens per day. After about a week, it began to occur more frequently. Uncertain as to the cause, but with the only major change being the upgrade to Windows 10, I backed-up files which I wanted to keep and performed a clean install of Windows 7 Home Premium (64-bit) which I had been using prior to the upgrade. It had been a flawless operating system. Unfortunately, the blue screen issues persist as a daily occurrence. These blue screens can be, but are not always the same. Thus far, I have seen the following:

1) driver_irql_not_less_or_equal
2) pfn_list_corrupt
3) page_fault_in_nonpaged_area
4) memory management
5) service system exception

Because the BSOD doesn't remain on screen, I am not always able to see the long string of numbers or file names before my computer restarts. However, I believe I have seen ataport.sys and netio.sys. Do not quote me on those though. Furthermore, I have ran chkdsk multiple times to test if it was a hard drive issue. I have also ran the memory diagnostic multiple times. Neither have ever found errors. I ran Memtest86+ and it did not find any errors either (ran overnight). My computer specs are:

Windows 7 Home Premium (64-bit)
Intel i5-4670 3.40 GHz
MSI GeForce GTX 770
Mushkin Stealth Enhanced 8 GB RAM
WD Blue 1 TB HD
EVGA 750B2 (750 W) PSU
MSI Z97-G55 LGA 1150 MOBO

I have been trying to get this fixed elsewhere and it was suggested that I run drive verifier. I had difficulty getting this to work, but I believe I was able to get at least one DMP file while it was active. I think that it is 101115-21918-01.dmp. I was also asked to include memory.dmp at one point. I never received a response to these queries. I do not know if the DM log collector grabs all of those files so I will include a link where most of this stuff can be found.

Hi Brothahill666,

Welcome to the 7forums.

Please remove MSI software, some are known for causing BSOD's.

This has come up a few times

DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL (d1)
An attempt was made to access a pageable (or completely invalid) address at an
interrupt request level (IRQL) that is too high.  This is usually
caused by drivers using improper addresses.
If kernel debugger is available get stack backtrace.
Arguments:
Arg1: [COLOR="Red"]000000000000125d, memory referenced[/COLOR]
Arg2: 0000000000000002, IRQL
Arg3: [COLOR="red"]0000000000000000[/COLOR], value [COLOR="red"]0 = read operation[/COLOR], 1 = write operation
Arg4: fffff88000db185f, address which referenced memory

Meaning a driver requested data that was corrupted, this indicates memory problems.
In this case it was the nvidia video driver that requested it, this driver has been flagged in other dumps too but I am not sure if it is due to possible memory corruption or the drivers self.
Please run MemTest86+ for testing the memory and reinstall the graphics drivers.

Diagnostic Test

 RAM TEST

Run MemTest86+ to analyse your RAM. MemTest86+ - Test RAM - Windows 7 Forums

   Note

MemTest86+ needs to be run for at least 8 passes for conclusive results. Set it running before you go to bed and leave it overnight. We're looking for zero errors here. Even a single error will indicate RAM failure.

Please uninstall everything of Nvidia using Display Driver Uninstaller and install new drivers from Nvidia

[Brothahill666]

I have uninstalled all of the MSI software (no longer installed) and everything Nvidia (then reinstalled) as suggested. I will update the results of said changes in the coming days. As for Memtest86+, I probably ran this in the last week and it returned zero errors after 8+ passes. Should I run this test again? I also have many new DMP files since my initial post. I believe these are from Oct 18 - Oct 20.

There are a few network drivers flagged.
Check Intel and Realtek for driver updates.
Please uninstall everything of Nvidia using Display Driver Uninstaller and install new drivers from your manufacturer.

[Brothahill666]

I ran the Intel Driver Update Utility and after a scan, it doesn't list any drivers. I'm not sure what I should be trying to install from RealTek. Is this the correct one (RTL8111DP/EP DASH All-In-One installation kit for Win7/Win8/Win8.1)? After making the previous changes, I still receive various BSOD, but driver_irql_not_less_or_equal does seem to occur most often.

 

[axe0]

Sorry, I forgot to add a few things.

The iusb3 drivers are both USB drivers from Intel.
The Rt64win7.sys is the Realtek PCIe GBE Family Controller network driver.

 

[Brothahill666]

I've made the next round of suggested changes (Intel, RealTek and Nvidia drivers) and uploading the resulting BSOD DMP files (maybe 16-17 new) as they continue to persist. I did experience something new. My computer restarted itself without the BSOD of death. This has only occurred one time thus far.

 

[axe0]

I need you to do a few things.

1. Check the frequency of the memory and check if it is supported by the motherboard,
2. Do the same with the voltage,
3. Make sure inside the case is no dust and clean the contacts of the ram with rubbing alcohol and a q-tip,
4. Run MemTest86+ again

The first 2 are necessary, the 3rd isn't necessary if you already have checked/cleaned it.
The 4th is for now not necessary too, but more like if everything is done and didn't help.

 

[Brothahill666]

I checked 1, 2 and 3. Everything seems to be in order and BSOD persists. I'll start up Memtest again tonight.

 

[Brothahill666]

Ran Memtest for 9+ passes and found zero errors.

 

[axe0]

Is there anything connected to your pc besides of mouse and keyboard?

 

[Brothahill666]

I have the monitor, the power supply, an Ethernet cable, and USB headset.

 

[axe0]

Please disconnect the headset and see how it goes

 

[Brothahill666]

Disconnecting the headset has not solved the BSOD issue.

 

[axe0]

Please re-run the BSOD tool and upload the zip file.
There was nothing in the USB ports when the BSOD came up?

 

[Brothahill666]

My mouse and keyboard use USB ports.

 

[axe0]

Please try another USB for both the mouse and keyboard.
Please stress test the GPU using furmark

Diagnostic test

 GPU TEST

Run Furmark to test your GPU. Furmark tutorial

   Note

Run Furmark for around 30 minutes

   Warning

Your GPU temperatures will rise quickly while Furmark is running. Keep a keen eye on them and abort the test if temperatures rise too high

[Brothahill666]

Do you still think that this is a driver problem? Earlier tonight, I removed my video card and plugged into the motherboard. BSOD still occurs. Should I still try Furmark or was removing the video card a sufficient test?

 

[axe0]

At what time was the crash?

 

[Brothahill666]

This occurred at 9:42 pm, October 25.
