BSOD while playing using computer, ntoskrnl.exe+7f1c0

[Balvedius]

Hello, recently I have just built my new computer and everything seemed to be going fine. However I had gotten a BSOD when trying to copy a large amount of file from my external. Although I didn't get the dump file of it (as that wasn't in the settings at the time) I assumed it was due to copying from the external and just copied smaller files and it hasn't happened again.

However, I was just playing League of Legends and my computer decided to randomly BSOD. So I downloaded SF_Diagnostic_Tool and zipped the folder so I was wondering as what the problem is.

BlueScreenView says the crash address is: ntoskrnl.exe+7f1c0 and I wasn't sure if this was a hardware or software problem as I have only received the parts less than a week ago. My specs are:

Gigabyte Z77-D3H motherboard.
Intel Core i7-3770 processor.
8gig of Corsair Vengeance RAM.
GeForce GTX 560 graphics card.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

At first, you are to run http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/105647-ram-test-memtest86.html . run it for 8 passes.

As the crash is hardware related, you are suggested to take two more tests

• http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/100352-hardware-stress-test-prime95.html, and
• run chkdsk/F/R, using the method two of the tutorial http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/433-disk-check.html.

Let us know the results.

Hello Arc, I have run Memtest as you have suggested for 8 passes (didn't expect it to take 8 hours but everyone needs sleep eh?) and it told me that there were 0 errors.

I was then unable to run the stress test as the site chose not to load for me, so I decided to then run the chkdsk using the method mentioned.

 

[Arc]

Usually everybody runs the memtest when they sleep

 

[Balvedius]

So what would you suggest doing now?

 

[Arc]

If the Free Software - GIMPS link does not work for you, try Download Prime95 27.7 Build 2 Free- Softpedia.

How chkdisk went?

After taking the hard disk tests, if there are further BSODs, I would suggest you to enable Driver verifier.
http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/101379-driver-verifier-enable-disable.html

When driver verifier is enabled, the further crashes (if any) will contain more information about those crashes.

 

[Balvedius]

Well I can assume the chkdsk went fine. As it was taking so long I had gone to do other things and when I had came back it was on the the windows login screen.

Now if I recall right, the other link had said while running prime 95 to check your hardwares temperature while it's running. Does the program tell me this information or is there some other way to find this out?

 

[Arc]

To look at the hardware temperature, the best way is to use Speccy.

 

[Balvedius]

2 things:

1: Speccy is taking a considerable amount of time to download, around 1 hour (which is weird as our internet isn't capped atm and everything else is fine) so I may not be able to get it.

2: While waiting for a reply I decided to do a bit of gaming, it all went fine until I BSOD'd again. So I have now done what you said and turned on Driver Verifier for future crashes. I have also attached the DMP file that I have just gotten incase you wish to see it.

Edit: speccy has decided it wants to download, with prime 95 should I be running the test with all of the default setting or is there something specific you want me to turn on/off?

Edit2: after turning on Driver Verifier and just general internet browsing I BSOD'd again (boy this is fun) so I have attached the DMP file from that to this post also.

 

[Balvedius]

Hello, now I'm not sure whether or not I should start for this or not, as the issue was not solved. If a new thread is to be created then please let me know.

However, about a week or so ago I did a complete reformat and reinstalled Windows. I have also recently (last couple of days) updated all the drivers for my motherboard from their website.

Using a program called "WhoCrashed" it had been telling me the same culprit:
ntoskrnl.exe (nt+0x7F1C0) with the error being "IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL"
Yet occasionally it had told me that "ntkrnlmp.exe (nt!KeBugCheckEx+0x0)" was also the problem, yet this was at the exact same time as the ntoskrnl.exe happened.

I have run "sfc /scannow" and have gotten no errors, yet have not run Prime95 as I was unsure what settings to turn on for it.

It is also worth noting that I was using Avast antivirus earlier today, and a couple of the BSOD had been because of that, so I have uninstalled it and am now using AVG with so far, no problem with it.

Any further help would be appreciated and if I am needed to provide more information, then please let me know.

So there are two elements of Avast that failed. Uninstall it, use Microsoft Security Essentials - Free Antivirus for Windows.

Another thing, that in nvidia display driver.

Update it.

 

[Balvedius]

Hello Arc, those most recent files were one from before I had done the reformat, sorry.

I just ran SF_Diagnosis again and will be attaching the zip folder.

My nvidia drivers should be updated, and the attached files were from when Avast was installed, as a few hours ago I had changed to AVG and havn't BSOD'd again yet.

 

[Arc]

Now it is your time to follow this post
http://www.sevenforums.com/crashes-...-computer-ntoskrnl-exe-7f1c0.html#post2075469

 

[Balvedius]

Now just so I know for future use, when running Prime95, do you want me to run "Small FFTs" or another option as step 4 seems to say there is more than 1 option for running it.

Also: Will I be required to be awake for the chkdsk? I understand memtest takes forever and while running Prime95 I will need to monitor the temperature, but would I be able to set up the chkdsk, and while it's running go off and do other things? Or will I be required to sit infront of the monitor until it is completed?

 

[Arc]

Small FFTs is the most suitable one. Run it.

And for any test, you need not to disturb your sleep. Let it run and go to sleep

 

[Balvedius]

Alright, I shall run Memtest now and go to sleep as its 2:45 in the morning, I shall hopefully be able to post the results in 12 hours or so

 

[Balvedius]

Ok, so both Memtest and chkdsk have both recently finished.

However, going to your link for Prime95 and trying to download the appropriate 64bit version, it gets to about 1.4meg, then the download pauses indefinatly. Youtube and just browsing in general still works, however I am unable to get Prime95 at the current time.

Edt: After uninstalling Avast and installing AVG, I have had 1 BSOD (while playing League of Legends, not sure if coincidence or not) so I ran SF_Diagnosis again and attached the folder as I wasn't sure where the latest DMP file was located.

 

[Arc]

This time it is nvidia display driver.

• Download and install |MG| Driver Fusion (Driver Sweeper) 1.1.1 Download.
• Reboot the computer in Advanced Boot Options, safe mode. Search Driver Fusion in your start menu, and remove all components of your nVidia display driver.
• Boot normally now. Go to Drivers - Download NVIDIA Drivers, follow option two to search for the appropriate driver for your system automatically, and install it.

Let us know how it worked.

 

[Balvedius]

Ok, I just reinstalled the NVIDIA drivers using the option to find the correct drivers automatically on the NVIDIA website after using Diver Fusion in safe-mode to remove them.

I'll be sure to let you know if I encounter any more BSOD.

 

[Balvedius]

Bad news, while doing some gaming today I encountered another BSOD, attaching the updated zip.

Now I am fairly sure that I completely removed the NVIDIA display drivers, however when reinstalling them I think it said that one of the components was already installed of the same version or higher, I think it was the phys X or something.
