BSOD's New Install

[st0rm4200]

So I switched from Windows XP Pro 32-Bit to Windows 7 64-Bit. I also changed from an IDE Western Digital Caviar in a non-raid config to 2x Western Digital Raptors in Raid0. I then proceeded to boot and let windows install drivers for me. I found out quickly my sound card was not supported so I disabled it and enabled onboard. It installed my video card just fine but I went to the nvidia website and downloaded it and installed it just incase. Anyhow I get random blue screens all the time when not in safe mode and none of my hardware had any problems on XP Pro 32-Bit so I doubt its a hardware problem. I was guessing some kind of driver problem but I don't know of any drivers but the video and sound... I checked my new hard drives as well with the utility and it says their fine. I included the one dump file sorry its only one i will post back when I get a couple more I deleted my old ones.

OS : Windows 7 Professional 64-Bit

Dump reports 0x1a error, probably caused by ntkrnlmp.exe
0x1a is memory management, but need more dumps to be more precise

Check all drivers, chipset & bios are updated
If OCing return to stock
Run memtest overnight to stress ram

post back more dumps when you get them

Not overclocking so no problem there... Will run memtest tonight.

 

[st0rm4200]

Heres a couple more, gonna run memtest tonight still, though I don't think its the ram, had the ram for 3 years and they havent ever given me a BSOD. Just now on Windows 7 thats it. Only new hardware are the hard drives. Im gonna check them a few more time but every time it tells me their fine.

Woops forgot the attachment, here it is.

You might want to try these Windows 7 X64 drivers that are made just for your board.

Anything is worth a try, and come to think of it this would make sense as I have never changed any of my mobo drivers after changing to 64 Bit Windows 7. Will post back results.

 

[st0rm4200]

Well I have installed my mobo's new drivers, sound drivers, and video drivers from nvidias website. Still getting the blue screens. Heres a couple more dumps any help is appreciated. I have just did a system restore on my computer as well to original install as it didn't really start doing this until i installed image burn and made a copy of my windows disc for a buddy. I doubt this works as it didn't change too much but anything is worth trying I guess. Also I don't know if it matters but I have my old hard drive still in my computer with XP on it... never boot from it though.. I doubt it matters either tho as I unplugged it and still got a blue screen without it there.

SPECIAL_POOL_DETECTED_MEMORY_CORRUPTION (c1)
Special pool has detected memory corruption. Typically the current thread's
stack backtrace will reveal the guilty party.
PROCESS_NAME: WarRock.exe
Probably caused by : hardware_ram ( ZEROED_PAGE_CORRUPTED )
BUCKET_ID: X64_0x1a_8887_VRF_ZEROED_PAGE_CORRUPTED

Those are the results of both dmp's. I'd say they are pointing to a memory problem, either bad memory or incorrect memory settings or voltages which would require some adjustments in bios to correct.
I would test the memory or make adjustments to memory settings until you are stable again.

RAM is at stock speeds as the BIOS is set to do all of that automatically as I have always had it. And as far as the ram going bad I highly doubt that... Ram has been fine for 4 years until I changed Hard Drives and Operating System and all of a sudden their going faulty? I remember when my buddies ram was going bad... He had problems getting his computer to boot w/o getting a BSOD, that's not the case here... No problems BOOTING AT ALL. And if it were hardware related wouldn't the issue still come up in safe mode? Because in safe mode I have never gotten a blue screen once.... None of it adds up to being my RAM. That's 50 bucks I don't have right now.


And I ran an overnight test with no errors.... Sat and watched it for an hour for 3 passes as well. I understand what those two dumps are saying but honestly ive looked at a few of them myself and those are the first two saying memory issues, others were sound and drivers which I fixed.

Also sorry to keep editing but I also just thought of this, I know they arent RAM related because the other night I ran XP off my old HDD and didn't get 1 blue screen, RAM performed as if I just bought it.

Well after installing those drivers, restoring to install, and deleting all the programs I transferred from my 32-Bit system (including Avira which I think may have been the problem) I haven't had a BSOD all day. I don't want to jump the gun but I may have fixed it, though unsure if the restore or deleting of programs is what helped.

 

[chev65]

Next time I won't waste my time tracking down drivers then seeing as how you fixed it yourself. Glad you got it working

 

[st0rm4200]

Well its been a week and no BSOD's at all so it wasn't the RAM I actually believe it was Avira's virus protection that was causing this issue as when I uninstalled it (and a few other games I have added back one at a time) the BSOD's stopped. Thanks though guys for your patience and for looking up drivers for me I appreciate it.
