BSOD running Geneious Software, multiple errors and codes

[wwysoc2]

Hello,

We've been running Windows 7 professional x64 and have been getting BSOD errors at various frequencies. However, I have noticed a few patterns:

- It seems to occur when we run the bioinformatic Geneious software, we've tried reinstalling it but that was not successful. Since this is the most computationally taxing task we perform, it may not be exclusive to this program.

-Once in awhile we'll get a "Catalyst control center has stopped working" window popping up. This sometimes means that a BSOD is going to happen soon.

-Updating Windows has been a challenge. I've had to manually download a few packages and some flat-out do not work.

I am inexperienced in solving these types of problems so let me know if you need any additional information. I'll attach the output from the posting instructions diagnostic tool.

Thank you!

Bill

Welcome to SF wwysoc2 .
I am currently looking at the dump files, in the mean time please run the SFDT again and let it run its course it can take 15min at times to collect all the data necessary.
There should be eight files generated not including the dumps.

Awesome! I ran it and attached is the zip (including all of the files this time).

Thanks,

Bill

Thanks for the added information .

The bug checks are some what diverse but some drivers are more consistent than others.
The main complaints Windows has are with storage (and security), network and as you mentioned
Geneious software.
Also, what do you have connected via a USB?

Here is what I suggest you try, please complete in the order they appear.

:ar: Please update your Ethernet driver:

lmvm k57nd60a
Browse full module list
start             end                 module name
fffff880`04884000 fffff880`048ef000   k57nd60a   (deferred)             
    Image path: \SystemRoot\system32\DRIVERS\k57nd60a.sys
    Image name: k57nd60a.sys
    Browse all global symbols  functions  data
    Timestamp:        [COLOR=Red][U]Sun Aug 26 07:58:34 2012[/U][/COLOR]

• Driver Reference Table - k57nd60a.sys
• You have the 57781 controller, Specific download link.

:ar: Please verify you have the latest SSD firmware:

• Mushkin Support

:ar: Please scan for possible infection and file corruption:

• Download TDSS-Killer and scan for rootkits.
• Download Kaspersky Rescue CD and scan for other types of infections. (a how-to tutorial)
• Download Malwarebytes and DON'T activate the trail (uncheck the box at the end of the installation)
• Follow this tutorial on how to use the SFC/ SCANNOW tool in Windows.

(*Kaspersky Rescue CD from a USB thumbdrive)


:ar: Test for thermals and stability:

• Download HWinfo and post a Screenshot of the sensors window, one at idle and another while putting load on the PC using Prime95 for the CPU side and Furmark for the GPU.
  • Before running Prime95 make sure to enable Round-off checking (see 1st post under the tutorial).
     Note

  It is not mandatory to run both tests simultaneously, although possible as long as the temperatures are under constant monitoring.

It's also not a bad idea to test the RAM, but 64GB would take days to effectively test
so we'll keep it as an option for now.
Keep us posted.

Ohh and another thing, please post a picture of the Device Manager.

rb: Start → type: devmgmt.msc and post a screenshot of the expanded window.

Hello!

Thank you for all of your help thus far! I've finally found time to run these tests so I'll update you on my progress.

1. I updated the ethernet drivers, I'm pretty sure that went okay.

2. I ran the SSD firmware update and that is all up to date.

3. TDSS-Killer, the Kaspersky Rescue CD, and MalwareBytes all found nothing wrong with the system. However, I ran SFC/SCANNOW and the Windows terminal found an error and reportedly had repaired it (no indication to what that could have been).

4. I ran Prime95 and Furmark. Attached are the screenshots of HWinfo (baseline and while the test software are both running). I'm pretty sure this is the correct screen, but let me know if any additional info is required. Also attached are screenshots of my device manager.

Any direction you can point me in resolving this would be great! This computer hasn't gotten much use for about two weeks so I'll post a reply today on the BSOD frequency while its in use.

Thank you!

Bill

Thanks for the update .
Please look for driver being offered ny this online utility and update all that it offers.

• Intel® Driver Update Utility

3. TDSS-Killer, the Kaspersky Rescue CD, and MalwareBytes all found nothing wrong with the system. However, I ran SFC/SCANNOW and the Windows terminal found an error and reportedly had repaired it (no indication to what that could have been).

Please Zip and upload the CBS.log,

C:\Windows\Logs\CBS\CBS.log

4. I ran Prime95 and Furmark. Attached are the screenshots of HWinfo (baseline and while the test software are both running). I'm pretty sure this is the correct screen, but let me know if any additional info is required. Also attached are screenshots of my device manager.

I was looking for the temperatures and they are shown under the sensors window and not
in the summary window.
Also keep in mind that Prime95 continues to work when you click the X at the top of the window
it minimizes to the taskbar. In order to stop the worker you need to click Test > Stop... .

Any direction you can point me in resolving this would be great! This computer hasn't gotten much use for about two weeks so I'll post a reply today on the BSOD frequency while its in use.

Did you have any new dumps since?
