Frequent and multiple different BSOD Errors with no clear pattern

[Caridor]

Is there anything else you can suggest for me to try? I'm still not getting minidumps?
Maybe I should just reinstall windows?

 

[essenbe]

Reinstalling Windows may be your best option. I would suggest you install a legal copy of Windows. You currently have an Asus OEM_SLP key, which can only be used on the Asus computer it was installed on. You have it on a Gigabyte retail Motherboard. To activate it, you have to use an application which alters Windows system files. This make it virtually impossible to debug and could be much of the cause of your problems. Any time you alter protected Windows files, you are asking for a lot of problems. Most analysits will not even attempt to debug them. Once you have a legal copy of Windows installed and are still having problems, we will be happy to assist you.

So basically, I ordered and installed a new copy of windows.
And I'm still getting BSODs and still not getting minidumps.

I don't suppose the fact I installed windows on my SSD and pretty much everything else on my ordinary hard drive, could be causing some problems?

 

[essenbe]

No, it should have nothing to do with it. That's what most of us do. Where did you get the ISO or DVD?

 

[Caridor]

I got it from Aria, which is the same company I've used for virtually all my hardware and software for years.
It was an official microsoft copy of windows 7 and I have no reason to believe there was anything wrong with it.

 

[essenbe]

OK, I was just making sure it wasn't downloaded from some places which can give bad downloads. I have a friend in the UK and he buys a lot of stuff from Aria. How far along with the install are you?

 

[Caridor]

It's completed.
I made sure it was complete and updated and still gave me BSODs before I updated this.
I think it may be coincidence but BSODs only started occuring after I updated windows.

Do I understand correctly that you used the DVD purchased from Aria? Also, is your SSD Firmware up to date?

 

[Caridor]

Yes, I used the DVD that Aria sent me.
It's probably not up to date, since I got this computer in February and haven't done any firmware updates, though how I would check, I don't have the foggiest.

And here is the file you asked for.

Samsung is difficult. Try this link and fill it out. I would have, but I don't know the model number for your SSD.
Download Center: Download Software, Firmware, Drivers & Manuals | Samsung

Click start, type device management in the search box, go to the device manager that appears, expand disk drives. Right click on your SSD and select properties, Click on the details tab, and in the large dropdown box, the second entry will be Hardware ID, select that, The last numbers on the right will be your firmware number.

Do you have a program on your computer called Smite Hi-Rez? or a Game called Smite? I see 2 instances of it being a problem. The rest of them are Xcom. There were no dump files. If you are running Xcom through Steam, try to verify the files, or completely uninstall it then reinstall it. If you don't know how, I can tell you. If you are playing it from Ubisoft, I can't be much help. Let me know before you do anything.

 

[Caridor]

I can't remember the exact circumstances but I did have install a second copy of smite, after the first stopped working and it told me to reinstall.
It was a while after I started getting BSOD issues though.

Xcom was a very recent install to steam, just after I installed windows again.

The problem with finding an update to my firmware is that typing in the numbers at the far right (EXT0BB0Q) reveals nothing and typing in the rest (Samsung SSD 840 EVO 120gb ATA device) results in either a tonne of different SSDs or none at all, once you get to the 120gb part.
Also, the drivers are all ISOs which I don't know what to do with, assuming I could find the right one.

Sorry, I know this is taking up alot of your time.
If it's all stuff on my regular hard drive that's causing the problem, would it be best to clear it off completely? And if so, how could I do that safely?

 

[essenbe]

If you have Samsung magician, it will tell you whether your SSD is up to date. In that slot where you put the firmware, you put the model # of the SSD. It will tell you the latest firmware.

Don't worry about the time. We just need to get your computer running right.

 

[Caridor]

So I got Samsung Magic and updated my driver.
It seemed to help, the BSOD's are less frequent now, but they are still there.

Is there any more information I can provide?
I can say that my BSODs over the last few days have always featured the words "Driver_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL" if that helps.

Here you go.

 

[essenbe]

There are no dump files and the same Smite and Xcom entries. Mostly Xcom.

Make sure you don't have the SSD plugged into a Marvell sata Port. Plug it into port 0 or 1.

 

[Caridor]

So I'm guessing a good step would be to uninstall smite and Xcom?

And I'm totally at a loss when it comes to computer assembly. They put it together for me.
I feel like such a scrub >.<

 

[essenbe]

Have you been having a lot of app crashes during those games? are you playing them through Steam?

 

[Caridor]

Smite's been on it's own and Xcom's been through steam.
And no, those two are some of the more stable apps. The ones that are causing huge problems are path of exile, dota and total war Rome 2, all run through steam.
It can happen with anything as far as I know, even just youtube, but those seem to cause it sooner.
