Comp Crashes, Freezes, BSOD, except when Playing!

My computer is rebooting and freezing A LOT. Like every 30 minutes, sometimes more, sometimes.. I ran Memtest 4.0 for 10 hours overnight and received no errors. Did a system file check, everything seems fine. I got blue screens 4 or 5 times, but the rest of the time it just freezes.

Now, the weird thing is that it can run for EVER if I'm playing a full screen game like Star Craft or Call of Duty, but as soon as I close the games it crashes. I can't get any work done!

Also, I tried clean boot but it still crashed. I did not crash on Safe Mode for over two hours.

It never creates a minidump, only onces got one. I was able to read the Blue Screen twice, the rest of the times it goes aways really fast:

One Blue Screen had this info:

NTFS.SYS Page_Fault_In_Nonpaged_Area

I am doing them now should be aboout 5 mins. One thing I can tell you now is you have a driver asacpi.sys from 2005 whicha almost always causes bsods

ASACPI.sys Sun Mar 27 22:30:36 2005

The 2005 version of this driver is a known BSOD cause.
Please visit this link: ASUSTeK Computer Inc.-Support- download_item_mkt
Scroll down to the Utilities category, then scroll down to the "ATK0110 driver for WindowsXP/Vista/Windows 7 32&64-bit " (it's about the 8th item down).
Download and install it.
Go to C:\Windows\System32\drivers to check and make sure that the ASACPI.sys file is date stamped from 2009 or 2010 (NOT 2005).

How To Find Drivers:

- search Google for the name of the driver
- compare the Google results with what's installed on your system to figure out which device/program it belongs to
- visit the web site of the manufacturer of the hardware/program to get the latest drivers (DON'T use Windows Update or the Update driver function of Device Manager).
- if there are difficulties in locating them, post back with questions and someone will try and help you locate the appropriate program.

Third and probably most important memory corruption probably caused by the asacpi.sys file run memtest

Download a copy of Memtest86 and burn the ISO to a CD using Iso Recorder or another ISO burning program. Boot from the CD, and leave it running for at least 5 or 6 passes.


Just remember, any time Memtest reports errors, it can be either bad RAM or a bad motherboard slot. Test the sticks individually, and if you find a good one, test it in all slots.

Hi.

Thanks for the help! Working on it.

Can you post the link please? - - The most common drivers are listed on this page: Driver Reference

Thanks

Hi,

I updated the ASACPI.sys file, except in: C:\Windows\System32\DriverStore\FileRepository\atk2000.inf_amd64_neutral_a91abe245a6c41c8 where the old one didn't update, but the new one is on System32/drivers

I did run the MemTest the other night for 10 hours, completed 4 passes and most of pass 5 without errors. I don't think is the memory because, like I said, I run games for hours and the computer doesn't crash, is when I'm trying to do anything else on windows that it crashes. Which is very weird.

I uninstall CloneCD and Speedfan.

Hi,

Went to Asus website and downloaded several updates for drivers for my motherboard. Not bios updates, thought I think I should, scare of messing with Bios. >_<

I also erased a few programs. Still a bit confused about some of the drivers that you mention on your post:

dump_iaStorV.sys
Not in computer anymore. Maybe gone after Asus update?

adfs.SYS
Adobe Driver. Renamed it to adfs.sys.old. Let's see what happens.

RsFx0103.sys
Windows file, hot to deal with it?

dump_iaStorV.sys
Not in computer anymore. Maybe gone after Asus update?

iaStorV.sys
Not sure where to get this on the intel site. Myabe using iaStor.sys now.

spldr.sys
Windows file, how to deal with it?

amdxata.sys
AMD? I have Intel and GeForce video card. Do I need this?

PxHlpa64.sys
On System32 and C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Sonic Shared\PX Drivers

I created another report, this time I included the RAID/Hard Drive report that the newly installed Intel Mass Storage driver/software generated.

Looking forward to your feedback.

THANKS for the help!

BTW, 30 minutes and no reboots/freezes so far. Crossing fingers!

I hate to tell you but ASACPI.SYS is still dated 2005 and still loaded on the system. You will continue to have BSOD's with it there

ARGH

#*@(*!*!!!

You are right! It just crashed.

What should I do? I downloaded the right one and ran the install. Can it be changed manually?

 

[Islandtalker]

Screen

Ok, as you can see, the driver is the correct one, except in one folder (DriverStore/DriverRepository/..)

What to do?

(EDIT)

Just notice the This File is Block message. Let me try to unblock.

 

[Islandtalker]

Now?

Better now?

 

[Islandtalker]

Still freezes..

Minidump

Hi,

I tried to install another driver from the Asus website, and while shutting down, it blue screen. At least it did create a Minidump this time.

Hi,

I tried to install another driver from the Asus website, and while shutting down, it blue screen. At least it did create a Minidump this time.

DRIVER_POWER_STATE_FAILURE (9f)
A driver is causing an inconsistent power state.

In order to find out which run driver verifier

Beyond that, please run Verifier with these settings:

Using Driver Verifier is an iffy proposition. Most times it'll crash and it'll tell you what the driver is. But sometimes it'll crash and won't tell you the driver. Other times it'll crash before you can log in to Windows. If you can't get to Safe Mode, then you'll have to resort to offline editing of the registry to disable Driver Verifier.

So, I'd suggest that you first backup your stuff and then make sure you've got access to another computer so you can contact us if problems arise. Then make a System Restore point (so you can restore the system using the Vista/Win7 Startup Repair feature).

Then, here's the procedure:
- Go to Start and type in "verifier" (without the quotes) and press Enter
- Select "Create custom settings (for code developers)" and click "Next"
- Select "Select individual settings from a full list" and click "Next"
- Select everything EXCEPT FOR "Low Resource Simulation" and click "Next"
NOTE: You can use Low Resource Simulation if you'd like. From my limited experimentation it makes the BSOD's come faster.
- Select "Select driver names from a list" and click "Next"
Then select all drivers NOT provided by Microsoft and click "Next"
- Select "Finish" on the next page.

Reboot the system and wait for it to crash to the Blue Screen. Continue to use your system normally, and if you know what causes the crash, do that repeatedly. The objective here is to get the system to crash because Driver Verifier is stressing the drivers out. If it doesn't crash for you, then let it run for at least 36 hours of continuous operation (an estimate on my part).

Reboot into Windows (after the crash) and turn off Driver Verifier by going back in and selecting "Delete existing settings" on the first page, then locate and zip up the memory dump file and upload it with your next post.

If you can't get into Windows because it crashes too soon, try it in Safe Mode.
If you can't get into Safe Mode, try using System Restore from your installation DVD to set the system back to the previous restore point that you created.

If that doesn't work, post back and we'll have to see about fixing the registry entry off-line:

Delete these registry keys (works in XP, Vista, Win7):
        HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Memory Management\VerifyDrivers
        HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Memory Management\VerifyDriverLevel

Using Driver Verifier to identify issues with Windows drivers for advanced users
