Back again with another BSOD today just before 1pm Central. I was walking in the house from school to see it in the process Blue screening.

 

[koolkat77]

Dump is not providing any information
Is verifier still on?

 

[StarrBurst]

I had turned it off earlier for doing online testing, it slowed things down too much, and I forgot to turn it back on. Will turn it back on and let you know when it BSOD's again.

Sorry about that.

 

[koolkat77]

Yes it does make things slow,

Verifier puts extreme stress on the drivers, bad ones will cause BSOD. If we change all those drivers we hope for no more BSODs, If you get no BSODs, then its not a driver and we look to hardware.

 

[StarrBurst]

Crashed again. Like usual I can't see any pattern to the crashes. Sometimes I am gaming, browsing facebook and youtube, or just away from the computer. Verifier.exe was running this time, and the blue screen mentioned driver issues.

Once again thank you so much for the help. It saves me hours and hours of google'ing my errors and reading confusing articles that don't help.

Verifier is blaming windows files (which is not a true cause). Suggest you disable verifier now.
Anyway, is any of your hardware overclocked?
How does your computer act in safe mode?
Did you monitor your temps while gaming?
Whats the status of warranty of your computer?

Verifier is blaming windows files (which is not a true cause). Suggest you disable verifier now. (DID)

Anyway, is any of your hardware overclocked? (NO, there is no need for this computer)

How does your computer act in safe mode? ( Don't notice anything weird or unusual. Let me know what to look for.)

Did you monitor your temps while gaming? (Not anymore, I used to when I got it. Basically I had to RMA the Graphics card (GTX 480) because the original one idled at 80 deg Celsius. Let me know what you recommend I use to monitor the temps the easiest (like what software). EDIT: Didn't ever check this because sometimes it blue screens with nothing intensive running, for example like when task manager shows I'm using less than 10% CPU Usage. )

Whats the status of warranty of your computer? (Was self-built, some parts are under warranty, and some are not. I can deal with that when we narrow down what component it is.)

Also, attached is the .zip with today's crash which was before I turned off verifier.exe. (Just in case it has something interesting.)

Things to note about my computer. The earliest BSOD's (that were semi frequent) I can remember was back when I got a SSD in here. The SSD soon died and I RMA'd it, and put the new one from OCZ in my laptop, and the HDD in the tower didn't blue screen for quite awhile after removing SSD, so I thought it was fixed. The current graphics card never had issues with overheating, and even went hours and hours running NVIDIA's stress test software that came with it (haven't tested that in months). The tower is an open tower that includes 5 case fans, and of course fans on the processor, Power supply, and even a PCI slot fan that sits on the side of the Graphics card that has no fans, and blows directly on the back of it. Case fans on one side of tower are set to bring air in, and I set the other 2 to blow air out.

Like always thanks for all the time you are putting into this to help me. Let me know whatever you need me to do/try/look at.

Thanks for the information provided.

gdrv.sys Fri Mar 12 23:22:29 2009 - GIGABYTE Tools - Windows (R) Server 2003 DDK driver; belongs to EasySaver. Uninstall EasySaver or rename the driver. See note below.

GVTDrv64.sys 05/09/2006 - Unknown. Certificate digitally signed by GIGA-BYTE TECHNOLOGY CO., LTD. This is an XP driver; rename it. see note below.[/quote]

   Note

Renaming drivers: create a restore point, using Windows Explorer, navigate to C:\Windows\System32\Drivers, locate the driver files, and rename them from .sys to .old. Reboot and the drivers will not load. This will break whatever software or hardware these drivers are associated with.

Here is the location of gdrv.sys: C:\Windows\gdrv.sys. It is not located in C:\Windows\System32\Drivers. Likewise here is the location of GVTDrv64.sys: C:\Windows\GVTDrv64.sys. Try uninstalling Easy Saver; that may eliminate both of these drivers. If not, rename both of them. Reboot and let's see if these to drivers are causing the conflict with atikmdag.sys.

Will try that tomorrow afternoon when I can sit down and watch it. Thanks!

Take your time and keep us posted.
Safe weekend.

Ran SeaTools, and found nothing yet on the short tests, leaving it overnight on the long ones. Uninstalled EasySaver and GVTDrv64.sys is gone, and gdrv.sys is now .old. How hot is too hot on the CPU and GPU temps? (in deg C).

Will run Prime95 tomorrow, I started it today, and was getting some high temps on Speedfan for Temp1, Temp2, and Temp3. (65 deg C), so I stopped it. Do you know what those are temping? Also, the GPU temp is idling at 54 deg at 10% processor usage and no games running, hich seems high.

Its obvious for temps to go higher during stress tests. My CPU stays at 46C at idle and varies between 51>52 while in use. I'm no gamer but my GPU temp stays at 51>52; I use my pc for mainly browsing, debugging (recently) and photoshop (occasionally).

To me any temp for CPU higher than 65C is hot, 70C> is too hot.

Anyway, during the prime95 test if the temp reaches goes above 80C, stop it and let us know. No games are running does not mean that the gpu is idle. It is working %54 degree is not high, but tends to go up.

 

[StarrBurst]

Ran all 3 tests for a few hours each. The only thing that was slightly concerning was one of the mother board temp sensors hit 75 deg C on both SpeedFan and HWMonitor. (See attached)

 

[koolkat77]

74... What were the temp on speccy?
Did you get bsod anymore?

 

[StarrBurst]

No, I got no BSOD. Will download Speccy tonight, and run the tests some tomorrow, and let you know what it says.

 

[koolkat77]

Alright, will wait.

 

[StarrBurst]

Went ahead and ran now. Speecy gave same temps as the other 2 for GPU, CPU, and so on. It just doesn't show a temp for whatever Speedfan displayed as temp2.

I did notice while playing Starcraft II (Running settings on Extreme like usual) today that my GPU temp on Speecy and SpeedFan went up to 80 deg C. It never peaked over 80, but just as a precaution I ran a couple different GPU Stress tests. I tried both MSI Kombustor(Since that is the manufacturer of my GPU) , and OCCT (as recomended by sevenforums.) Both never got the GPU temp over 75 deg because fan speed would just increase with the intensity. The fan speed never passed 75% speed.

Max CPU core temps for AMD Phenom II x6 1090T is 67°C
The GPU should have a max of 90°C, 80°C is ok for running high settings on games.
Undefined temps on monitoring programs are difficult to find info on, they are different on each program version and each motherboard.
If I had to guess I would say TMPIN1 is your GPU.

What was the CPU core temps during the Prime95 tests?

Have you updated all your drivers from the Gigabyte support site?
Gigabyte GA-890FXA-UD5
There are several recent ones.

Uninstall all of the Gigabyte utilities, these are known to cause crashes.
Your last cash was cause by gdrv.sys - Gigabyte Easy Saver - mobo power utility driver

Lets check some settings.
Can you download CPUZ and post a snip of the CPU, Mainboard, Memory, and SPD tabs.

How to Post a Screenshot in Seven Forums
Go to your BIOS and tell us what the CPU, RAM and the CPU integrated memory controller (CPU NB VID Control) voltages are.


Quick review of all your crashes seem to be blaming the graphics driver mostly, also memory and DirectX.
Uninstall your graphics driver with Programs and Features, then with Driver Sweeper.
Install an older version of the driver, you may need to do this a couple of times to find one that is stable.

Let us know if you have any questions.

 

[StarrBurst]

What was the CPU core temps during the Prime95 tests? 63-64 deg C average during the test. If I do anything else on the computer while Prime95 runs the temp went as high as 66 deg C.

Just updated all drivers. Did not upgrade BIOS because I'm doing this from school via Teamviewer.

About the graphics driver, koolkat had me do that already, and the driver I installed was the current stable build. (Previously I had the BETA version)

Pics attached.

Will get you voltages later when I get home.

Thanks for all the help so far from both of you.
