FREQUENT BSoD

[SUPAD4V3]

Thanks, will try these things tonight, i thought t was over!

No not solved officially, spoke too soon

I did find a suggestion to try Run sfc /scannow and the cmd window closed itself as fast as it had opened, tried it on my work computer and it ran propperly, not sure whats going on there

I did notice last night before this BSoD the the computer wasnt able to extract large rar files that worked propperly after restarting, seems things start falling apart in the background before crashing

What does the SPTD do?

That has to be run as admin.

It sounds like you didn't open a command prompt frist, just ran the command from the start menu or Run Dialogue.

Be sure to open cmd.exe first, then enter sfc /scannow in the window.

Have been doing a it of reading and it seems a few people have trouble with daemontools, is there a way to check the date when i installed it? i cant remember exactly when it was but it could explain the sudden onset of these errors, i have always run AVG and not had problems like this

 

[Jonathan_King]

You could check in the Event Viewer for logs, or check for a restore point before installing Daemon Tools.

tied to run sfc /scannow and part way through i got an error and then a min later... BSOD, restarted and then the exact same thing again, have attached the minidumps from these occasions. the error for the second blue screen was MEMORY_MANAGMENT it finally finished without blue screening and it said windows resource protection did not find any integridy violation
Have also uninstalled sptd.sys using the method described
Have run every scan on seatools also, all come back ok, the long DST check failed to finish the first time for both drives so i tred it again
I am going to leave AVG for now as its never caused problems for me before and i actually want to see which thing fixed it (assuming i actually eventuaklly get there)

 

[CarlTR6]

Just a suggestion. When you are troubleshooting, the idea is to eliminate all possible causes of conflicts. AVG has been know to cause BSOD's. Why would you not want to eliminate this possibility? You can always reinstall it once your system is running smoothly. I urge to to follow Jonathan's advice. He knows what he is doing.

Just so you know, I have run AVG on my system with no problems; but others have definitely had problems with it.

 

[Jonathan_King]

I still see both AVG and SPTD on the system.

Here is the AVG removal tool: http://download.avg.com/filedir/util/avg_arv_sup_____.dir/avgremoverx64.exe

Here is the SPTD installer/uninstaller. Just run it and click on Uninstall: http://www.duplexsecure.com/download/SPTDinst-v169-x64.exe

This happened before i got a chance to get rid of SPTD witch i have done now i also uninstalled daemontools witch i had to do from the start menu because it disappeared off the add remove programes list possibly when i uninstalled SPTD, if i get another one i will uninstall AVG, i have also switched the ram to the other 2 slots to see if that helps, i ran the windows memory checker and it came back fine, do you think ram could be the problem?

 

[Jonathan_King]

The Windows Memory Diagnostic is not very accurate. If you want to test RAM, follow these instructions:

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.

will try this tonight to rule out one more thing, if those last 2 dumps contained SPTD still i havnt had a blue screen since removing it, i hope like hell that was the cause this is getting annoying

Is it a normal thing for a computer to show signs up to 5 mins before its going to blue screen? things stop functioning propperly eg. rar files wont extract and installers give random errors then wham it happens. ive developed a bit of a sence for when its going to happen now and i can see it coming

I think SPTD was a contributing factor.

To answer your question, as you get to know you system, you can definitely recognize signs of instability. These signs are not always present though.

Ok, Started my computer this evening and 10moins in i got a bluescreen the error was "MEMORY_MANAGMENT". i uninstalled AVG and a few seconds later i got another blue screen, Both are attached.

On restart from the first bluescreen it asked to do a chkdsk, during witch it said it had recovered 4 unindexed files (not sure if this means anything).

I will now install MSE and see what happens

Have not run memory test yet btw

 

[SUPAD4V3]

DAMMIT got another one, this one i was listenign to music then started skipping then kept skipping till i reset it, dump attached

THIS IS GETTING DEPRESSING!!

I noticed my attachments arent getting many views, if theres someone out there that knows why this is happening please help

 

[SUPAD4V3]

I got a feeling its going to bluescreen again, this is the most unstable it has been, seems to have only gotten worse. beginning to think its hardware. how do i figure out witch part is stuffed, most of its still under warranty

 

[reventon]

Have not run memory test yet btw

Run this now

Memtest - Instructions:

Download the ISO (or the .exe for USB drives) from here Memtest86+ - Advanced Memory Diagnostic Tool

Then (if you have chosen the ISO) burn the ISO using IsoRecorder: ISO Recorder v3

Boot from the CD/USB and run the test (at least 7 passes per test) with only one stick of RAM in place at a time.

It is a time consuming process but it is the only way to be sure it isn't a RAM fault.

For your final test, run the test with all the RAM in place.

 

[SUPAD4V3]

I restarted manually and now the game runs and MSE installed, would only have been a amatter of time before it bluescreened, i can now recognise signs of instability and ill tell you everything i can about whats happening incase someone out there sees the problem and has a solution

 

[reventon]

Run the memtest ASAP, it is more likely than not that you do have a hardware error. We just need to figure out what.

 

[SUPAD4V3]

Just had a huge crash but no bluescreen so i was able to play around a bit, nearly all applications running at the time died except u torrent and task manager witch i was able to get to only by alt+ctrl+del, there was little to no cpu activity and i was only able to switch between windows with alt+tab as explorer had died, in hindsight i should have tried running new tasks through task manager and tried to recover the system one process at a time, if it happens again i will try to
