BSOD only noticed it happening while on the internet

I'm doing heavy video editing, will removing 4g of ram hinder that greatly? The two 4g sticks are brand new. The 2 2g sticks are older.

 

[essenbe]

Yes, it will have an effect, but I think your computer will run better, which net effect may not hurt so bad. I've done some heavy video editing with 8 GB before and it did OK. I rendered 300 2 HR movies in about 3 weeks with 8 GB. Of course, CPU matter a lot too.

Stop the test, remove the 2 2GB sticks and run memtest again and see if it runs better. I hope you downloaded memtest directly from the link I gave you. Memtest86+ - Advanced Memory Diagnostic Tool

 

[jrowles91]

I did yes.

 

[essenbe]

Great. See if memtest runs any better that way.

 

[jrowles91]

Took the 2 2g sticks out. Now running only the new ram, 2 hours only 50% computer with second pass

 

[essenbe]

That sounds about right. I have another computer with 8 GB of ram, it takes it about 9 hours and 30 minutes to do 8 passes.

 

[jrowles91]

OK cool. I also have a new graphics card and wireless card ready to install once this is complete. Or do you think we can do more testing before putting the hardware in?

 

[essenbe]

finish the memtest first

 

[jrowles91]

Alright it's all done. Zero errors.

 

[essenbe]

Something is wrong. I can run 8 GB in about 9.5 hours. It has nothing to do with ram or drivers. Drivers only load when the OS loads. The test runs out of ram, no hard drive or drivers involved.

1ST thin is create a restore point. It may be your only way back. You do have your installation DVD, right? You may need that or the repair CD. But be sure you create a restore point first (link at the bottom). then

Driver Verifier - Enable and Disable
Run Driver Verifier for 24 hours or the occurrence of the next crash, whichever is earlier.

   Information

What is Driver Verifier:
It puts stress on the drivers, and therefore it makes the unstable drivers crash. Hopefully the driver that crashes is recorded in the memory dump.

How we know that DV is enabled:
It will make the system bit slow and sluggish.

   Warning

Before enabling DV, make it sure that you have earlier System restore point.

If there are no Restore points, make a System Restore Point manually before enabling DV.

   Tip

• If you fail to get on the Desktop because of DV, Boot into Advanced Boot Options > Safe mode. Disable DV there. Now boot normally again, and try following the instruction of enabling DV again.
• If you cannot boot in Safe mode too, do a System Restore to a point you made earlier.

Let us know the results, with the subsequent crash dumps, if any.

I did this and restarted the computer as told, now it crashes before entering windows. It gives two option upon rebooting. Launch startup repair and start windows normally.

I've restored using the point I just created.

Attached are the dump files. I attempted a normal reboot a couple times with the same result.

 

[jrowles91]

Also btw the new EVGA card and Wireless adapter are installed.

 

[jrowles91]

Still crashing on me. I thought for sure with the new hardware it would be ok. I've attached the latest. My kid was on youtube when they happened. nothing else was open.

 

[essenbe]

OK the first one

NEC Electronics USB 3.0 Host Controller Driver The older ones, like yours are a BSOD problem. I would try to update the driver from the manufacturer of the card or Gigabyte. NEC was bought out by http://www.renesas.com/supp/ drivers can be updated there, but in takes registration and a lot of research.

AMD USB Filter Driver (likely part of the chipset drivers)

Thanks Essenbe! Just to clarify, I can update the drivers from gigabyte? I'm going to try updating the Bios also and if crap hits the fan I'll go buy a new motherboard!

 

[essenbe]

If the USB 3.0 is part of the Motherboard, yes you can update it from Gigabyte. If you are using an add on card, try the manufacturer's web site. NEC made cards for a whole lot of companies.

If you are on the new wireless card, don't use the drivers on the disk. Go to the manufacturer's web site and get the drivers there, they will be much more current. Get the new Nvidia drivers for your EVGA card and install them using this http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/327414-nvidia-drivers-avoid-problems.html I don't recall what GPU you were using before, but those drivers need to be completely cleaned out. If it was an Nvidia card, that link above should do it.

I am going to ask for help with the last dumps. I get nothing from them.

 

[jrowles91]

I wasn't able to run the driver verifier yesterday. I followed the links as best I could and once I restarted so it would run it would give me the bsod then restart and keep recycling the bsod over and over. I had to go back to my restore point.

Since then I have updated all my motherboard drivers although I was unable to update the BIOS. I would attempt to run it and it says it's incompatible with 64 bit. There is no other option on Gigabytes website, there is only one. I'm lost.

 

[essenbe]

See if this is your board. Put which OS in the right drop down box and it will give you the drivers, then select BIOS in the left drop down box and it will give you the Bios versions. Your last bios is F7.
GIGABYTE - Motherboard - Socket AM3 - GA-880GA-UD3H (rev. 2.0)

 

[jrowles91]

Mine is rev. 2.2. It appears to be the same driver. Should I try anyway?

 

[essenbe]

Try this one GIGABYTE - Motherboard - Socket AM3 - GA-880GA-UD3H (rev. 2.2)
