Nothing conclusive shows up in your crash report. I did notice AODDriver 4.01 is disabled or not working correctly. I would recommend uninstalling the software if you can. AMDOverdrive or EasyTune needs to be removed. Other possible causes of your crash type are Memory problems... Corrupted hard disk file system... Corrupted System Files... Graphics Driver... Drivers...

hmm, i tried remove AMDOverdrive or EasyTune but i can't even find those from my Hard drive.

Do you have AMD Vision Engine Control Center installed?

Do you have AMD Vision Engine Control Center installed?

Nope, i had it before I changed my graphic card. I am pretty sure that formating and fresh OS install would solve this issue but im too lazy to do it.

Thanks anyway.

You could try the following steps.

1. Manually create a system restore point.
2. Download and install Driver Sweeper.
3. Restart your computer in http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/69585-safe-mode.html.
4. In Driver Sweeper, put a tick in AMD - Display; analyze, and clean.

See if that helps. If it makes the problem worse or causes other problems, use the system restore point to go back.

Thanks for advice, I did the following steps. I will let you know if it worked or not.

 

[writhziden]

You're welcome. How is the system responding?

 

[valtsu]

I thought it worked but still caused bsod by portcls.sys but it happened only once.
Tomorrow I will get 120 ssd so I will clean my comp completely.

 

[writhziden]

Alright, let us know how the system responds after the clean install.

Also, make sure everything is up to date for the SSD firmware and chipset wise. See the Quote by usasma regarding SSDs in post #2 of BSOD when hibernating.

 

[valtsu]

Atleast for now my system have been running very well. No bsods after fresh instal of OS.
I was surprised how much ssd boosted my system performance in loading times, I love it.

Thanks for advices!

 

[writhziden]

What steps did you take to resolve the problem? Anything beyond the fresh install, or did the fresh install fix it on its own?

 

[valtsu]

I guess fresh install fixed it. Clean disks with the most recent drivers

But now I have some other problems.
I made new thread in the other section. LINK

[writhziden]

If you are no longer having crashes, you may mark this thread solved.

I will follow the other thread and give any input I can think of, but you are already in good hands there with the two people who have responded, so I probably will not be needed.
