daily BSOD's over a couple of weeks, include error 3B A1...

You cannot connect to the internet if you use a dial-up or PPP connection,
have a DSL connection that uses PPPoE,
have a satellite connection,
or have a wireless connection.

If you do not connect with those methods, just use safe mode with networking.

im in safe mode, looking around and i noticed that windows cannot load the driver for IR devices, would that be causing the problem?

 

[richc46]

It very well could be, those are communication devices.

 

[djnour]

is there any way to reinstall them?

 

[richc46]

I dont think there is a problem. They cant load in safe mode, but do in regular mode.

 

[djnour]

so my computer looks good in safe mode, does this mean its a microsoft service that is causing the bsods?

 

[richc46]

It usually means that a driver is the problem.
If it does not BSOD in clean boot, you can use the procedure tofind the precise cause

[djnour]

but continue to do so in safe mode?

 

[djnour]

Because it does BSOD in clean boot non safemode

 

[richc46]

No go back to regular mode, set up Clean boot. If it works in clean boot and you follow the procedure you will find the cause of your problem.

last time i booted into clean boot I got a Bsod after an hour of use, would turning on driver verifier help?

and the BSOD i have gotten in the clean boot have all been the same, there have been 3, should i provide the dumps?

 

[richc46]

Any information that you can supply would most certainly help.

 

[djnour]

Here are the dumps

 

[richc46]

Two out of 3 of the last dumps gave hard drive as a potential problem. The third gave your Microsoft AntiVirus, but I have never seen that to be a true cause.
Go to the web site of your hard drive manufacturer and test your hard drive for errors.

 

[djnour]

Went to the seagate site, ran all the test possible everything came back positive

But I will try running it again

 

[djnour]

ran it again, no errors

 

[richc46]

At the last posting you gave me 3 new dumps. As I mentioned two were code 24:
Usual causes: Disk corruption, insufficient physical memory, Device driver, Indexing, Resident antivirus, backup, defrag programs, Disk/Drive failing/failure


The other was a security Essentials (anti virus driver). As I said I have never seen a problem with Security Essentials Before and am reluctant to go in that direction until we have more evidence.

Do you have enough space on your hard drive?
Have you defragged in a while?

 

[djnour]

Iv tried defragmenting multiple times, but it crashes midway, that's why I think there might be some type of corruption, my harddrive is also 7 years old, and I have been meaning to replace for a while

 

[richc46]

But that is why you took the hard drive test that you said passed.
Based on everything, Im leaning to hard drive problems.

I have never had a crash during defrag, it does sound like hard drive. The report points to HD, too.

 

[djnour]

Alright, well im getting a new hd anyway because I was in need of an upgrade, then ill post if I get any more bsod's, then we will also know if it really was the hd.
