BSOD's (again)

[Norsey]

I've been having seemingly random BSOD's and freeze screens for awhile now. I've delivered the PC for repair twice, so I doubt it's hardware related. I've updated all the drivers I could think of, but the problem still persists. I've run SFC /SCANNOW to attempt to repair the windows files, but it still doesn't appear to be fixed.

What puzzles me about these problems are that sometimes the computer can go a whole day without any problems, only to break down completely the next day. and for some reason it sometimes freezes while in bluescreen. attaching as per instructions dump files etc. please ask if you need anything else. it would really be great if someone had any ideas as to what the problem might be.

Windows 7 is. . .
- x86 (32-bit) or x64 ?
x64
- the original installed OS on the system?
came preinstalled with the computer.
- What is the age of system (hardware)?
Bought in november, back from repairs a few weeks ago.
- What is the age of OS installation (have you re-installed the OS?)
The OS was re-installed as part of the repairs.

I noticed you have the virtualization drivers installed, are you using VM?
...and what is the state of it when most these crashes occur if so.

 

[Norsey]

I can honestly say I have no idea what virtualization drivers or VM is, could you be more spesific?

 

[Maguscreed]

The microsoft application virtualization is loaded on your system, this usually means you're using virtual machine too run old programs in xp or something.

It's not something I see loading on systems very often.

Anyhow I suggest removing the ASUS software that came with your motherboard. It can be problematic
You may also consider temporarily removing your antivirus program to see if the crashes stop. (some av's can get glitchy in windows 7 under the right conditions)
I'm not seeing anything specific you overlooked in the drivers.

 

[Norsey]

removed the antivirus and what I could find of Asus stuff, got a crash awhile later but it froze and didn't make a crash dump :/ I'll upload the crash files once it manages to fail properly.

 

[Norsey]

I've been having a pretty harsh strings of freezes and restarts, but after reinstalling adobe air and directx I finally got a good ol' blue screen that managed to make a dump file.. never thought I'd be happy to see that screen. Hope there's something in there that can give a clue as to how to fix this :S

 

[Maguscreed]

Sadly all a very general type of debug message.
The crashing system file in many of them seems to be the directx driver though.
Let's try booting safe mode with networking and removing the nvidia graphics drivers (and control panel app) with this
Phyxion.net - Driver Sweeper
And doing a fresh download and install of the latest
NVIDIA DRIVERS 275.33 WHQL

Also the frequency of the crashes increased right around the time that driver was released so I'm guessing install went goofy on you.

SYSTEM_THREAD_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED_M (1000007e)
This is a very common bugcheck.  Usually the exception address pinpoints
the driver/function that caused the problem.  Always note this address
as well as the link date of the driver/image that contains this address.
Some common problems are exception code 0x80000003.  This means a hard
coded breakpoint or assertion was hit, but this system was booted
/NODEBUG.  This is not supposed to happen as developers should never have
hardcoded breakpoints in retail code, but ...
If this happens, make sure a debugger gets connected, and the
system is booted /DEBUG.  This will let us see why this breakpoint is
happening.
Arguments:
Arg1: ffffffffc0000005, The exception code that was not handled
Arg2: fffff8800445bce5, The address that the exception occurred at
Arg3: fffff88005ddb6a8, Exception Record Address
Arg4: fffff88005ddaf00, Context Record Address

Aside from that seems to be a well maintained system though. It's rare I see someone with properly up to date drivers.

[Norsey]

swiped and reinstalled, this time without the fancy 3D stuff, hopefully that will fix it

 

[Maguscreed]

Now that it's out of the way upload any new bsod's you get, until then I'll consider it solved.

 

[Norsey]

well, it didn't stop

I'm still somewhat suspicious of the graphic stuff, as most of my crashes happen while I'm doing something that requires graphics (movies, games etc.) though that might simply be due to the fact that I primarily do those activities on the comp. Uploaded latest dump with this post, I also think I'm gonna try to download an older driver from nvidia and see if that helps

 

[Maguscreed]

yeah the attachment didn't show either.
might not hurt to add this since direct x is also directly involved.
Download Details - Microsoft Download Center - DirectX Redist (June 2010)

 

[Norsey]

forgot to add it for some reason, it's added now

 

[Maguscreed]

Yeah nothing really seems to have changed.
If you aren't using the hdmi audio out of the nvidia card disable it in playback devices. (right click speaker tray icon)
That specific driver seems to be involved somehow. It could be a conflict if you are using a sound card or other audio device for your sound.

 

[Norsey]

the directX dl and sound thingy seemed to have helped, have only had some minor problems after that. I'll upload the minidump(s) if I get a bsod, so far I've only had a few freezes

 

[Maguscreed]

yeah it sounds like something is still not quite right, might not hurt to reinstall the related driver.

 

[Norsey]

my audio driver appears to be tied to the nvidia videocard driver, so not really sure how to reinstall it. Intrestingly enough all my crashes now appear to first crash whatever program I'm using, and then crash the entire system afterwards either by restart or bsod. I've attached the dump files from the latest crashes, though I doubt they'll say something new. any new/ more precise ideas regarding the sound drivers? I feel like it might be closing in on the problem

 

[Norsey]

right, so I've been twisting my head on this, and I'm now pretty sure there's something wrong with my video card. What's confusing is that the comp has some days where it will work perfectly, but then others when it crashes after a few minutes of gaming. Whenever it crashes it also won't turn on properly and/or crashes rapidly after launch. After an hour or so it will launch normally again however, and will work neatly until I attempt to make it play a game again..

to sum up in a question: Is it possible to test my video card for faults? and does these other weird symptoms give any other hints as to what may be wrong? The repair shop tends to use a few weeks to fix the comp, and it's been there twice without the problems disappearing, so if there's any way of getting aditional information that may speed up their process and help them actually fix this it would be very helpful.

Edit: added dump files.
