Constant Bsod's

[Aceshighhhh]

I have been getting blue screens pretty often ever since I first built this pc about a year ago. I've attempted to reinstall my OS and even tried running on Ubuntu for awhile but the bsod/crash returns in some form. It seems to happen more frequently whenever I'm playing any sort of video game e.g. WoW.


OS - Windows 7 Ultimate x64
Board - MSI 790FX-GD70
CPU - AMD Phenom II x4 955 @3.6GHz
RAM - Mushkin HP 8Gb (4 x 2Gb)
Video - SAPPHIRE ATI Radeon HD 4890
Sound - ASUS Xonar D2X
HD - 2x Western Digital VelociRaptor WD3000HLFS
PSU - KINGWIN Mach 1 ABT-700MA1S 700W
This is a full retail and the hardware is about a year old. I reinstalled this OS about 3 months ago

atikmdag.sys, part of your display driver is causing some BSOD
Update your display driver: ATI Radeon

I'v got that latest driver from the 15th but I still get the atikmdag.sys quite often

You have a fist full of dumps. I looked at six dumps.

All of your dumps point to hardware. They blame atikmdag.sys and Direct X most frequently.

To begin your troubleshooting, uninstall McAfee using this removal tool: Info > Tool. McAfee is known to cause crashes on some Win 7 systems. Down load and install MSE http://www.microsoft.com/security_essentials/ in its place and make sure Windows Firewall is turned on.

Stop error code 50, PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA - usual causes are Defective hardware (particularly memory - but not just RAM), Faulty system service, Antivirus, Device driver, NTFS corruption, BIOS.

Stop error code 3B, SYSTEM_SERVICE_EXCEPTION - usual causes are System service, Device driver, graphics driver, ?memory.

Stop error code 124, WHEA_UNCORRECTABLE_ERROR - usual causes are Hardware, Incompatibility, May be driver corruption.

Normally when I encounter error code 124, I stop right there and list the things to try. However since I see only one error code 124 and all of the 50's, I will approach the other error codes first. In the usual causes for error code 50, you will see Anivirus listed. This is why I suggest you get rid of McAfee ASAP.

Older third party drivers can create problems with Win 7. I find two on your system that are slightly out of date. Update these drivers.

LGPBTDD.sys Wed Jul 01 14:47:52 2009 - LGPBTDD Driver is a driver file from Logitech Inc. belonging to Logitech GamePanel Software. Downloads. This driver was indicated in two dumps I looked at.

Rt64win7.sys Thu Feb 26 04:04:13 2009 - Realtek 8101E/8168/8169 NDIS 6.20 64-bit Driver for Realtek 8101E/8168/8169 PCI/PCIe Adapters. Realtek

If, after updating your drivers and uninstalling McAfee, you are still getting BSOD's, read the following on the 124 error. Upload any new dumps and we will begin checking hardware.

[2-Int] Stop 0x124 - what it means and what to try

 

[CarlTR6]

Refresh your page. I have edited the post above.

 

[Aceshighhhh]

I've deleted the Mcafee anitvirus and Installed the latest driver for the Logitech GamePanel software. Although I'm a bit confused as to which driver I need to install as far as Realtek goes

 

[CarlTR6]

Very good on uninstalling McAfee. I hope you used the uninstall tool; if not, you need to download it and run it to remove all traces McAfee. The driver you need to update is Rt64win7.sys. It is a network adapter driver. There is an updated version available. If you need help with it, let us know.
