BSOD while gaming

[voler]

Hello

I've got problem while gaming. Often BSOD after about 15 minutes, sometimes screen freezes and i've got popup about "driver losses stability, but it has recovered". 2 days ago I replaced RAM, I thought it is causing the problem, but it havent helped. I use PC also for minning cryptocurrency, so GPUs are used 24h/7d.

Your BSODs seem really random compared to a lot. You have USB audio references, memory and stack buffer overflow.
the one that has caught my eye is the stack buffer overflow which is caused by a driver dumping too much information into a stack which "overflows" into a nearby stack or sometimes a completely different stack causing random issues. However this bugcheck is suspicious and indicates a malicious attack has taken place.

Can you please run your Anti Virus and Malwarebytes to scan for viruses as that seems the most likely cause at the moment.
Post the results.

[COLOR="red"]DRIVER_OVERRAN_STACK_BUFFER (f7)[/COLOR]
A driver has overrun a stack-based buffer.  This overrun could potentially
allow a malicious user to gain control of this machine.
DESCRIPTION
A driver overran a stack-based buffer (or local variable) in a way that would
have overwritten the function's return address and jumped back to an arbitrary
address when the function returned.  This is the classic "buffer overrun"
hacking attack and the system has been brought down to prevent a malicious user
from gaining complete control of it.
Do a kb to get a stack backtrace -- the last routine on the stack before the
buffer overrun handlers and bugcheck call is the one that overran its local
variable(s).
Arguments:
Arg1: a3cb3c53, Actual security check cookie from the stack
Arg2: 32801ed5, Expected security check cookie
Arg3: cd7fe12a, Complement of the expected security check cookie
Arg4: 00000000, zero

We'll focus on possible driver issues if your scans come back clean.

So it found 3 viruses? Right, now just do what you normally do and see if the problem continues.

new BSODs

 

[Thedoctor44]

Can you please enable driver verifier by following these instructions.

http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/101379-driver-verifier-enable-disable.html

Do NOT enable any drivers from Microsoft, Unknown or Macrovision
Post back the results.

more BSODs.
i've followed Your suggestions Thedoctor44 and enabled Driver Verifier. I didn't read all info from You and I enabled Unknown verifier refering asacpi. After that, Windows gets unstable and BSODs every start. I updated ATK0110 driver for my MB from ASUS website. Unfortunately BSODs havent stopped.

Whilst thedoctor44 is offline, I'll see if I can help.

You seem to have some significant video card errors. Check to see if there is an updated driver available, and install that.

Run this stress test and report back the result:
http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/100356-video-card-stress-test-furmark.html

Have you ever attempted to overclock this card? Have you ever had an NVidia card installed to your system?

 

[voler]

driver is up to date 13.12.
I use cgminer for minning cryptocurrency, it has possibility to overclock GPUs which i am using to get the most coins per hours i can. I had nvidia GPU earlier, but it hasn't been problem, after that i reinstall Windows and during this fresh system nvidia gpu hasnt been installed.

 

[voler]

several more BSODs, I run Furmark twice with setting max temp to 90C. First time BSOD after aprox. 5 min, second time BSOD after aprox 13 min. As far as i remember both times error was "Memory Management".

 

[Golden]

Sorry, are you saying it BSOD'ed during the stress test? Reset the overclock on the card back to default settings....I think this is where your problem may be lying.

You still have NVidia drivers in the system.....uninstall those completely.

 

[voler]

yes BSODs during stress test. GPUs during stress test arent overclocked, nvidia drivers havent been installed.

 

[Thedoctor44]

Hmm, is Driver Verifier still enabled? If so please disable it by typing verifier.exe into the start menu then "delete existing settings"
Then try the test again.
Because your temperature is getting so high and it crashes fairly quickly it sounds like your video card is having issues. do you have any other graphics cards you can test? Do you have any other PCs you can test your video card on?

When I run Furmark my highest temp I've got to is 78C.

 

[Golden]

nvidia drivers havent been installed.

Strange since the nvstor.sys file is clearly identified in the dmp files.

Driver Reference Table - nvstor.sys

Is the NVidia card physically plugged into the motherboard?

 

[voler]

NVidia GPU isnt plugged and hasnt been since Windows reinstall. nvstor.sys is nvidia SATA driver as far as I know

 

[Golden]

Yes, I believe you are correct.

None-the-less, if the machine is BSOD'ing during the video card stress test, then thats where the issues lies.

 

[voler]

Ok new BSODs. I reinstalled Windows to Win 7 Prof 64bit and I did some hardware checks. I switched harddrive to another PC (seems to work fine), then I switched also 2xGPUs, RAM ans PSU(seems to work fine). At the end I composed PC as it had been in the beginning, but with new PSU and reinstalled Windows. These new BSODs comes from this new composed PC. I fear there is problem with motherboard or CPU.

 

[Thedoctor44]

I don't think so, the problem is coming from your disk drive.
Please run a disk check by following these instructions.

http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/433-disk-check.html

Then please download and run SeaTools to see if your disk drive is failing.
