Solved BSOD while playing MW3, not tried other games though.

[Dodots]

Hello,

I have recently started getting BSODs and just plain screen freezes, the PC has also just shut itself off once or twice. Before this problem started my PC was perfect and has been for years, I was "that guy" who never had a single problem with any game or anything, but that has all changed sadly.

I just formatted and the problem persists.

Thank you for any help.

It would be best if we could get more than one file. The one that you gave us relates to a memory access problem. Run the bootable version of http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/105647-ram-test-memtest86.html for at least five passes, preferably seven. If any do not pass, then that memory card or that slot may be bad. Once a memory card passes, that card and that slot are known to be good. Then move the good card from slot to slot to find any bad slots. Test the remaining cards in the known good slots to find any bad cards.

You may also want to look at what zigzag3143 says in post #4 here for further testing (and to get us more dmp files to look at): http://www.sevenforums.com/crashes-...otherboard-memory-controller.html#post1677725

Edit: Also, if you follow the instructions in http://www.sevenforums.com/crashes-debugging/96879-blue-screen-death-bsod-posting-instructions.html, that would give us more information to go on system-wise, and allow you to zip all your minidmp files into one zip file. Thanks.

I tried to run memtest but it won't boot from my USB stick, I set it to boot first in the bios but it just says it's not a valid bootable device or something along those lines.

As for the other questions:

Windows 7 64bit
OEM bought from Overclockers
Most of the hardware is around 2.5 years old
I just formatted

I've also added that other file you wanted, but I only have the one DMP file as I formatted.

This may sound crazy but I was Google'ng the files that were marked in red and some bloke had a problem where 2 mice were in his device manager, I have that but with keyboards. Could this be causing the problem?

 

[Dodots]

OK I did that verifier.exe thing and my PC just crashed and rebooted 3 times in a row, so I have 3 more dumps for you guys to look over.

 

[Dodots]

I updated my bios which was a year old but that didn't help, if I turn that verifier.exe on my PC just crashes the second Windows boots. And here's a few more logs.

Alright, looking at the minidumps now. Hard to say whether it is two keyboards causing it without analyzing those first. I'll be back with my analysis in a few minutes.

Appreciate your help, I'm going nuts here, it's 2am and there's no chance I can sleep until I know what it is.

Alright, you need to remove RTCore64.sys, that is what is causing your BSODs with driver verifier running. Go ahead and start in safe mode, turn off driver verifier, and remove RTCore64.sys

 

[Dodots]

Done, I left all the others ticked.

Alright, do you have MSI Afterburner on your system?

 

[Dodots]

Yes I do, I've been using it for like 2 years? It's version 2.1.0.

 

[writhziden]

You may want to uninstall it and see if that fixes your problem. If not, you can always reinstall it. If you are doing any overclocking, turn it off for the duration of testing.

 

[Dodots]

I will try that now, but I'm wondering why it would start causing BSODs after 2 years?

 

[writhziden]

It is probably just causing it due to being stressed by the driver verifier utility. I wouldn't worry about that yet. If it ends up being the culprit after we are done testing, then you might have some concerns because it may mean hardware is beginning to fail from being overclocked. As I said, though, it is likely just the stress from driver verifier.

 

[Dodots]

OK, I'm going to play/test now and see what happens with Afterburner removed. If you have any more thoughts let me know. It usually crashes after about 30 minutes so I shouldn't be long.

If after testing you decide you need to run the Memtest, try burning to CD instead of using the USB drive.

I just crashed again with Afterburner uninstalled, I've attached the dump.

I don't actually have a blank CD, I have a blank DVD though if that'll work?

That will work, though it's a waste of space for such a small program lol. Let me look over your dump files.
