BSODs; iTunes, Youtube, random; 0x1e, 0x3d...

[Richey13]

Throughout the course of the last few months I've been trying to fix this constant BSOD that haunts me. It happens very randomly, and I've yet to be able to correlate it to ONE particular reason, outside of maybe faulty RAM... But my RAM has tested fine time in and time out.

Recurring BSOD's: (as far as I know, I've been asleep for many)
0x000001e
0x000003d

System Specs:
Windows 7 Ultimate, x64
This is original
Full Retail: Was installed by myself.
The system is about 4 years old, I've updated a few times and re-installed Windows 7 a few months ago...

AMD Phenom 9750 (2.40 ghz)
4.00 gb RAM (DDR2)
Zotac GTX 465 (1gb gddr5)
WDC WD1600 ATA Device, WD6400 SCSI Disk Device

If you do need any more information, please do ask!

Thanks yet again,
Richey13

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.
Arguments:
Arg1: ffffffffc000001d, The exception code that was not handled
Arg2: fffff88000000000, The address that the exception occurred at
Arg3: 0000000000000008, Parameter 0 of the exception
Arg4: fffff8800377ac00, Parameter 1 of the exception

1. Possible causes are Memory problems... Viruses... Corrupted hard disk file system... Corrupted System Files... Lack of Windows updates... Drivers...
   Thanks to JMH for helping with my understanding of this crash.
2. Possible causes are Memory problems...

Run the boot version of Memtest86+ paying close attention to Parts 2 and 3 of the tutorial. Also, in case Memtest86+ misses anything and comes up with no errors, run the extended version of the Windows Memory Diagnostics Tool for at least five passes. These you may want to run overnight since they take a long time to complete (run them an hour before bed each of the next two nights and check before going to sleep that they are still running).

If you swap any memory components, follow these steps for ESD safety:

1. Shut down and turn off your computer.
2. Unplug all power supplies to the computer (AC Power then battery for laptops, AC power for desktops)
3. Hold down the power button for 30 seconds to close the circuit and ensure all power drains from components.
4. Make sure you are grounded by using proper grounding techniques, i.e. work on an anti-static workbench, anti-static desk, or an anti-static pad. Hold something metallic while touching it to the anti-static surface, or use an anti-static wristband to attach to the anti-static material while working.

Once these steps have been followed, it is safe to remove and replace components within your computer.

Begin by re-installing iTunes using the steps for Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7.
