BSODs While Gaming (Different Driver Errors each time) [ntoskrnl.exe]

Hi, this is my first time asking for help, reading through most of the similar posts on this issue led me nowhere, so I am hoping someone with more expertise can have a look and see what's wrong. I'll try and be as detailed as possible, so apologies in advance if this is too much info.

I have attached the Dmp files as well as the system health report to this post, although I think some of the crashes on that Dmp list are from a while back, hopefully you can refer only to the ones that have happened off late.


The issue:
It seems to be that everytime I run a game, within the first 20 odd minutes of running it (Either full screen or windowed mode), I get a BSOD and crash. Many of the crashes have not been picked up by the dump file, however from memory, amongst the usual drivers suggested are ntoskrnl.exe, hal.dll. Most of the time the BSOD locks up the PC before the crash file can be logged, and I have to force a restart myself. The BSOD's don't have any particular pattern, as in, they occur sometimes for a bunch of hours, making any sort of gaming impossible, but then can run fine for up to 4-5 days, before coming back once again with a vengeance for a few hours.
I can be browsing, watching videos/music for hours and never have an issue, but within a few minutes of loading a game (less than 20 most of the time), I'll get the bluescreen. I've tested on multiple games (Warhammer/WoW/Skyrim)



Troubleshooting steps I have taken:

1: Got a fresh HDD, fresh install of Windows 7 on it. Had the first crash about 40 minutes after installing the game on the new HDD.

2: Memtest, came clean. Replaced RAM for testing anyways, didn't help.

3: Stress tested my GPU using Furmark. Ran perfectly for 30 minutes or so with no issues before I ended the test. Nothing abnormal during those tests.

4: Ran Driver Verifier. This produced interesting results. I turned Verifier on for EVERY driver (including Microsoft ones), restarted the computer, and it would chain crash right at the Windows 7 loading screen (About 2 seconds after the BIOS screen was gone). I'd get a hint of a blue screen but the PC would restart instantly for me to have a look at the error, and I don't think these crashes were logged in the dump file. I had to force into Safe mode, turn off verifier, and restart to get back on.

5: I have updated my video drivers to the latest version, although this didn't seem to help either.

Computer Specs:
AMD 965 x4 3.40Ghz
8GB Ram
Windows 7 OEM Home Premium
HD5750 1gb GPU

Any advice on what I should do? I kind of have a feeling it has to be corrupted drivers, maybe something to do with my Mouse/Keyboard (Razer Lachesis/ Logitech G110) but I'm not sure. Maybe after going through those logs you can figure out something a novice like me cannot.

Thankyou once again for any help you might be able to provide,
Jayrawr

Hi, I am installing that now..

But after the last BSOD, i got 2 crashes in a row on Windows startup (After i logged in and everything on the desktop loaded)

Here's a brief overview of the errors :


On Fri 9/12/2011 2:22:01 PM GMT your computer crashed
crash dump file: C:\Windows\Minidump\121011-18813-01.dmp
This was probably caused by the following module: ntoskrnl.exe (nt+0x70700)
Bugcheck code: 0x1A (0x5003, 0xFFFFF70001080000, 0x341, 0x34300000282)
Error: MEMORY_MANAGEMENT
file path: C:\Windows\system32\ntoskrnl.exe
product: Microsoft® Windows® Operating System
company: Microsoft Corporation
description: NT Kernel & System
Bug check description: This indicates that a severe memory management error occurred.
This might be a case of memory corruption. More often memory corruption happens because of software errors in buggy drivers, not because of faulty RAM modules.
The crash took place in the Windows kernel. Possibly this problem is caused by another driver which cannot be identified at this time.


On Fri 9/12/2011 2:22:01 PM GMT your computer crashed
crash dump file: C:\Windows\memory.dmp
This was probably caused by the following module: ntkrnlmp.exe (nt!KeBugCheckEx+0x0)
Bugcheck code: 0x1A (0x5003, 0xFFFFF70001080000, 0x341, 0x34300000282)
Error: MEMORY_MANAGEMENT

This might be a case of memory corruption. More often memory corruption happens because of software errors in buggy drivers, not because of faulty RAM modules.
The crash took place in the Windows kernel. Possibly this problem is caused by another driver which cannot be identified at this time.

Any advice on what this new error might be? I do want to point out that every BSOD earlier has had a different error message, this one's new. Do you want the dump files for these crashes as well? I wasn't in game for either of them, was simply logging on to Windows.

Will update once I do what you've suggested above, although do keep me updated if this new data suggests something else.

The most recent crash\bsod points to Razer Lachesis Mouse.

Update the software\driver and post back.

Also disable Driver Verifier.

Hi, done all you've said. Installed new drivers for the mouse, yet it crashes again during the first 20 minutes of gameplay, despite working perfectly for an hour and a bit while MSE did a full scan(No threats)

Then when I restarted, I got these back to back crashes on the login screen:


On Fri 9/12/2011 4:33:57 PM GMT your computer crashed
crash dump file: C:\Windows\memory.dmp
This was probably caused by the following module: ntfs.sys (Ntfs+0x1E95)
Bugcheck code: 0x24 (0xC08A2, 0x0, 0x0, 0x0)
Error: NTFS_FILE_SYSTEM
file path: C:\Windows\system32\drivers\ntfs.sys
product: Microsoft® Windows® Operating System
company: Microsoft Corporation
description: NT File System Driver
Bug check description: This indicates a problem occurred in the NTFS file system.
The crash took place in a standard Microsoft module. Your system configuration may be incorrect. Possibly this problem is caused by another driver on your system which cannot be identified at this time.


On Fri 9/12/2011 4:32:33 PM GMT your computer crashed
crash dump file: C:\Windows\Minidump\121011-34023-01.dmp
This was probably caused by the following module: ntoskrnl.exe (nt+0x70700)
Bugcheck code: 0x44 (0xFFFFFA8009D75810, 0xEAE, 0x0, 0x0)
Error: MULTIPLE_IRP_COMPLETE_REQUESTS
file path: C:\Windows\system32\ntoskrnl.exe
product: Microsoft® Windows® Operating System
company: Microsoft Corporation
description: NT Kernel & System
Bug check description: This indicates that a driver has tried to requested an IRP be completed that is already complete.
This appears to be a typical software driver bug and is not likely to be caused by a hardware problem.
The crash took place in the Windows kernel. Possibly this problem is caused by another driver which cannot be identified at this time.


Any suggestions?

Another set of crashes, this time clearly because of my mouse. Is this the cause of all the crashes or is it just a coincidence?

I'll upload the mini dumps as well, maybe it has some clues.

Here you go, I've uploaded the files.

In the meantime, I have completely uninstalled the Lachesis drivers/software, so it's running as a default mouse now.

I haven't experienced any blue screens, hence no logs, but since this change, the computer's just been rebooting itself, after going blank for a second. This has happened twice, once in a game, and once outside of it, so I feel it's random.

Hi,

Seems to be an issue with the 11.11 ATI Drivers as I found a few other people with similar BSOD's with that version. I have rolled back to an older version of the drives, however the crashes have not yet stopped.

My card (As i mentioned in the OP) is an HIS HD5750 1gig.

Like it said

It appears to be a problem in the support software not the drivers. Uninstall the software and see how it fares.
It should be in add/remove programs.
