Computer keeps on getting random BSODs and ´freezing´

Hey,

I`ve started having very strange and very serious bsod-problems and weird freezes last fall. I tried everything from re-installing all drivers and the whole OS (I even changed it to XP). When I tried driververifier.exe the whole rig went berserk. Finally I could`t even install xp without getting a bsod. Resetting BIOS would´t work either, so I sent the mobo and the processor back to the retailer, but they could´t find any problem with them and they sent the parts back to me. When I reassembled the parts the computer started working again and I haven´t had any problems with it... Untill now..

This time I´ve reinstalled Win 7, updated it, installed all the latest drivers, did a full virusscan with avast! (found Athena2.exe infection in my Acronics backup folder--> deleted the folder and reinstated OS)l. No help... I still keep getting the same old freezes and BSODs, which say something about a fatal error and system protection, but no error code.

System help report said the following (freely translated, because my OS is in Finnish):
"Could´t detect antivirus program... etc. etc. etc...." --> nobrainer with avast!

This was interesting:
"A high stopcount per processor detected. This computer has 4 processor and 6 "webcards" (meaning wlan-card and the integrated ethernet-card I think). Total computer stopcount per second is 31590. Average stopcount per processor is 7898." And the counts from the processor drop-down menu were: "Average = 31,590 ; Smallest value = 14,167 ; Highest value = 376,585."

Please help me solve this! My rig cost me a fortune and I´m a university student so I really can´t afford a new one! :cry:

Only one memory dump included in the upload.

I believe that the TP-LINK 150Mbps Wireless N Adapter is a USB device. Win7 doesn't like wireless USB devices, especially when using older drivers. It will spit out BSOD's rapidly if this is the case.
Here's my rant about these devices:

I do not recommend using wireless USB devices. Especially in Win7 systems.
These wireless USB devices have many issues with Win7 - and using Vista drivers with them is almost sure to cause a BSOD.
Should you want to keep using these devices, be sure to have Win7 drivers - DO NOT use Vista drivers!!!
An installable wireless PCI/PCIe card that's plugged into your motherboard is much more robust, reliable, and powerful.

No, you didn't forget to upload something.
Only 1 memory dump may indicate several things - such as the crashes happening at a low-level that Windows doesn't recognize, that you're using a disk cleaning application that's removing the memory dumps, that the settings for creating the minidumps have changed, that other corruptions have occurred which prevent Windows from capturing the memory dumps, or several other reasons.

I understand that the TP-Link adapter is a PCI device and not a USB device

The ntkrnlmp.exe file did crash - but that doesn't tell us what actually caused it to crash. This file is the kernel (core) of the operating system. If it were the problem there would be many problems with your system, not just the occasional BSOD.

The history that you describe, the lack of memory dumps (which may suggest a hardware problem), and the error itself (which can be caused by hardware problem) all tend to suggest a hardware problem to me.

Then, this latest memory dump is different from the previous one. When this happens a lot (different memory dumps), it's suggestive of a hardware problem (also can be caused by compatibility issues, low-level driver problems, or even malware).

I'm unable to locate information on the stopcount stuff that you cited in your first post. I suspect that it's due to differences in wording of the translation. Most references that I've found to stopcounts relate to hard drives - so that seems to make hardware diagnostics a reasonable suggestion.

Where did you get the information on the stopcount stuff? If it was in the perfmon /report, please save that report, zip it up, and upload it with your next post.

Sorry didn `t realize to save the report the first time. Can I retrive it from some kind of archive?
I did a new performance check (attached), but it didn´t give any results about the CPU stops. I attached a sniping tool-image with explanatory text added, about where the stopcount-info came from.
Really do hope you "get the picture" even though it´s in Finnish.

I ran the memtest86 4.0a for two hours and four passes: no errors. Plus I don´t think it´s an memory issue, bacause I´ve ran the test for over six hours in the past and it came out clean.
I wasn't able to run the WD DataRecovery Diagnostics, it just said "no drive found. error code 0120"
I´ll run the rest of the tests and post back with the results.

FinDude · Feb 3, 2012

I ran the FurMark test (15 min at 1080p), Stability test, HotCPU test (all tests for ca. 15min) and the prime95 test (ca. 1,5h) no errors or complains what so ever, so the memory and the cpu don´t seem to be completely rotten. I´m thinking it´s is just a driver/compatibility issue rather than the hardware (cpu and memory had been running for over a year without any problems). Although hard drive problem isn`t ruled out yeat..

I attached the FurMark and HotCpu test results on to this post.

usasma · Feb 3, 2012

You'll have to run a hard drive test. Try the Seagate SeaTools test. If that doesn't recognize the hard drive, then download either the Seagate or the Western Digital diagnostics for Windows and try them from within Windows.

I didn't attach too much importance to the stopcount stuff when I first read it. But as we worked on your issues, it came to concern me - and the majority of the concern comes from Google searches for "stopcount" that mostly relate to hard drive problems.

Computer reports are similar no matter what language they're in (that's how I figured that it came from perfmon /report) - so I can usually puzzle my way through most of them. And, if the online translators let me down, I can always ask you for a translation! :0)

Finally, it's possible that that problem only occurred around the time that you ran the first perfmon /report - so it's not unusual that it didn't show up in this one.

FinDude · Feb 3, 2012

I tried runnig the WesternDigital test, but it didn`t detect my hard drive. Does this have something to do with the AHCI-mode set in BIOS?

usasma · Feb 3, 2012

I've heard of this problem (and some of the other techs where I work use that trick)
I just run the diagnostics within Windows (or in the PE environment).

FinDude · Feb 3, 2012

Ok. Segate tester detected my hard drive in windows environment. All tests passed, but I´m still waiting for the "long generic test" to finish (it takes up to three hours to finish).
Got any new suggestons, should the last test comes out clean?

FinDude · Feb 3, 2012

FinDude · Feb 4, 2012

Finished the long hard drive test with no problems. Got a new BSOD this morning (files attached) I´m starting to think it has something to do with the Microsoft NetFramework updates, because the computer seem to crash every time I install those updates..

usasma · Feb 4, 2012

The memory dumps aren't showing up in your uploads, or in the WER section of MSINFO32.
There's almost no trace of them in the System Event Log either (although I do see Kernel 41 errors - which indicate that the system was shutdown unexpectedly).

This is a hardware problem - most likely overheating or overstressing the system.
Are you overclocking?
If you've run Prime95 without problem, then it's not likely to be a CPU or RAM overheating.
Passing Furmark would lead us to believe that it's not a GPU overheating problem.
Plenty of other parts can overheat tho', so it's going to take some time to isolate the problem

Can you open the case and point a house fan at the inside of the system to see if that helps?

FinDude · Feb 4, 2012

It's hard to believe that it's an overheating issue, because I've played games like Battlefield 3 on 1080p/max texture etc. settings on 23" screen for hours on, which should really maxout the whole system with no problems at all. The weird thing is that I seem to get BSODs only in the morning during the first startup of the day during quite idle tasks. Plus my chassis is well ventilated (4 big fans and large PSU fan) and it's equipped with temperature monitor/sensors. The fans aren't running loudly and the temps stay normal on the monitor.

This evening I decided to update my BIOS to the latest version ("2011.11.18 update M4A89GTD PRO/USB3 BIOS 3027 Support new CPUs"), if it's a problem with the CPU. After that Windows lost all drivers (low graphs/no gpu driver etc.), redetected all devices and updated all drivers from WinUpdate---> rebooted---> everything was back to normal. I'm going to download the latest drivers from the manufactures websites to see if that works, or makes it worse. The Driver_not_equal_or_less_equal BSOD that I got this morning, in my oppinion backs up my theory.

I'll post back to you when I learn more.

FinDude · Feb 5, 2012

Now I've updated all the drivers (usb3,audio,video,wd ses-driver and power management) and I got a BSOD during the usb3 installation (files attached).

usasma · Feb 5, 2012

This one points to a Windows wifi driver. I would replace your wifi drivers by:
- downloading a fresh copy
- uninstalling the current copy
- installing the freshly downloaded copy

If the BSOD's continue after that, please run Driver Verifier according to these directions: Driver Verifier Settings

As time allows, please start running these free hardware diagnostics to help rule out hardware: Hardware Diags

Looks like you were right about the overheating. I tried to test my CPU with the AMD OverDrive software. First I tried to run the shortest possible 1 min test on every core (FPU and calculation test included), but the computer froze. I rebooted and started running one test at a time and this is what I got (stop=frozen, needed a reeboot and 0=core1 and so forth):

CPU0=pass FPU0=stop Calculation0=stop
CPU1=pass FPU1=pass Calculation1=stop
CPU2=pass FPU2=pass Calculation2=stop
CPU3=pass FPU3=pass Calculation3=stop

The stops were instant or almost instant. The CPU's heatsink/fan was removed, when sent it back to the retailer last fall, and now since the stops and BSODs started again I've unpluged and reinstalled the processor to make sure that it's propely installed. I haven't reapplied new thermal solution on to the heatsink between the installations. Could this cause the freezing? Now the freezing is very freaquent and seems to happen, when the CPU gets between 41*C and 48*C. Should I just buy some thermal paste as suggested by AMD (How do I clean used thermal solution material off of my AMD® 64-Bit processor and heatsink/fan? I)? Can you tell me what kind of temperatures are regarded normal for this type of CPU?

48ºC is pretty darned cool for a CPU (I don't begin to worry until I see temps in the 60's).

Try some of the CPU stress tests from here. Look for one that specifically mentions the FPU (Floating Point Unit, I think): Hardware Diags

Prime95 stresses FPU when running Small FFT's and Large FFT's
Aida64 and Everest both have FPU tests

Now I'm having problems with just opening Windows. Constant freezing and I got a BSOD PAGE_IN_NONPAGE_AREA. It can't be normal for the all the cores to fail the "Calculation" test and the test causes very similar freezes to those that I've been gettin randomly this far. Is it possible that the CPU is faulty? I can't post you the minidump anymore and I can't run any tests, because the computer freezes on startup everytime now

When the freeze happens the CPU temp seem to keep climing on chasis monitor even though the fans are running and computer isn't really doing anything...

Solved Computer keeps on getting random BSODs and ´freezing´
