Solved BSOD while playing most games. 0x00000050

[Kobra1294]

Hi, I've posted here before about almost the same problem with a different twist this time. I've been getting these BSODs for page fault and IRQL errors. I've tried a lot of things. I first replaced my RAM back in 2011, then fresh installed my windows and did all sorts of driver cleans. Now I've gone as far as replacing the GPU. I was using an nvidia GTX 460 se and I thought because of the irql and memory errors it could be something with my GPU. I bought a gtx 560 ti today and brought it home. Started up, played some games no problem. Then in the middle of a LoL match I got it again. I'm thinking it is something with my motherboard and I'm wondering if someone could give some input on what you think it may be.

The bugcheck was: 0x00000050 (0xffffea80094fa288, 0x0000000000000000, 0xfffff8800442a20d, 0x0000000000000007).

My specs are:
Biostar a880g+ mobo
AMD Phenom II x4 945
AMD Entertainment edition RAM 2x4gb
Nvidia GTX 560 ti
2 7200RPM HDD's
600 watt logisys PSU.

Thanks in advance!

Just an update. Just got another bsod while playing CS:S. This one was different. It's a 0x0000024 stop message this time. I'm going to replace the PSU tonight as well.

Hello Kobra1294.

First of all you scan the system for possible virus infection.

• Anti-rootkit utility TDSSKiller
• Windows Defender Offline

Depending on the feedback, we will decide our further steps.

 

[Kobra1294]

Oh yes, f orgot to mention that. I did a scon with eset nod32, that rootkit scanner, and spybot s&d and none returned any problems.

Could you please upload the latest crash dump, however, from what you have said about the Stop 0x24 bug check, could follow the steps listed:

STOP 0x00000024: NTFS_FILE_SYSTEM

Usual causes:  Disk corruption, insufficient physical memory, Device driver, Indexing, Resident antivirus, backup, defrag programs, Disk/Drive failing/failure

Hard-Drive Diagnosis:

• http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/433-disk-check.html
• SeaTools for Windows | Seagate
• CrystalDiskInfo - Software - Crystal Dew World

Please upload a screenshot of the Crystal Disk Info output:

Okay, I've pulled up the chrystal disk info and it says that there's a caution falg being thrown. The new dump is also in there. I've hit a BSOD or two since the x24 one, so if there's a certain way you need me to grab just that one let me know.

I just ran the seaTools and my HDD failed the shortDST test. The primary one that is. Should I go ahead and replace it? If that's the cause, then it would be an easy easy fix.

Having a look at the BSODs now, and I would recommend creating a backup of all your important files and then moving these onto a USB stick or External hard-drive.

Click on the "caution" button, post the screenshot of the output.

I only see the dumps from yesterday :huh:

Should I move everything to my secondary drive? Then remove the first drive and make the secondary my new primary?

Click on the "caution" button, post the screenshot of the output.

I went back in to the program and now the caution button just says good.
If it changed back I'll let you know.
Like i said, seatools says it failed the short DST so if it's just a problem with the drive I can fix that in no time.

I haven't gotten a BSOD since yesterday because I'm not playing games in this computer. Last night was my last BSOD and then I just went to bed.

You could move it onto the secondary drive, and have you ran the Windows Disk Check program yet?

From what I see, seems to be like a failing hard-drive with some bad sectors.

 

[Kobra1294]

Yes, and the dskchk has returned no errors at all, but both of these programs seem to thing otherwise. I mean, this would make sense though right, because when I'm in game the HDD is under more stress and that could cause it to fail, correct?

 

[x BlueRobot]

It's strange, Crystal Disk points to a caution on the health status of the drive (then changes to good), and the drive also fails the short test for Seagate; Disk Check produces no errors :huh:

I would scan the system for any missing or corrupted Windows 7 files too:

[Kobra1294]

If this scannow thing comes up with no problems, I'm just going to remove my primary HDD and install windows to my secondary...

Why dont you run windows defender offline?

 

[Kobra1294]

I don't think it is a virus problem, because I have formatted twice since this problem started. I'm 99% convinced it's hardware failure of some sort.

There may be huge difference between your thinking and the reality.

I guess that you know what type of a virus resides in the BIOS, and why they will not go from there despite of numbers of formatting. And, you also should have thought why I have suggested only two scanners, despite of anything else.

So if it's a bios virus, how do I get rid of it? I feel windows defender wouldn't do the trick...

Care to follow this post for one time?

The computer is your, decision is also your. I am suggesting as you asked for it. If it get back to normal condition, I will not gain anything, if it will stay in the state as it is, I will not loss anything. I just can say you that I experienced it in many a threads, and as a member of sevenforums, I supplied the best possible solution according to my knowledge.

Rest is on you
