Solved Fresh Build - Constant BSOD - Multiple Codes - 3b, 50, a

[LP81]

Stole my Wife's USB Keyboard and that did the trick - My Wireless Logitech keyboard didn't have a dedicated Scroll Lock Key, had to press the Fn Key plus Pause|break and the computer didn't recognize it.

Did it resolve or alleviate the issue? If not, you can return it to normal. I just had a hunch on it. I'm gonna look at the crashdump here shortly.

 

[LP81]

It did not solve it

Forced Crashdump was created after disabling the previews. Crashdump was created because the download still stalled out. I have verified it still stalls on multiple files on multiple servers.

 

[Vir Gnarus]

I've been perusing the crashdump. It'll take some time since I have to meander through all your I/O n stuff. I'll get back with you on anything I may find.

 

[Vir Gnarus]

Sorry man, I'm getting progress but I haven't been able to scrutinize the kernel dump much lately due to RL stuff, plus a couple others have given me their kernel dumps so I got a lotta analyzin to do. I still wanna see this through though because it fascinates me and it's a very unusual case, so I'll learn a lot from it, but it won't be speedy resolution I'm afraid. Pardon!

 

[LP81]

Take your time. I am on vacation til Monday and won't be near my home computer til then. Relax, take your time.

Always better to do something slowly and correctly then rushed and half-assed.

 

[LP81]

Any good news?

 

[Vir Gnarus]

I'm still working on it off-and-on. Unfortunately, either the timing isn't right on this or I'm overlooking something, or I just don't have the expertise to deal with this. There are suspect items that I can list that you can deal with. I'll write em down later.

Also, the whole holiday week thing has kinda made things busy for me on other things so I haven't had that much time to work on this as I'd like.

 

[Vir Gnarus]

Ok, I can only give an overview of what I've found that are trending patterns. It confirms what I've found odd which I described here regarding your local network stuff (like file-sharing, printers, etc.).

In both your latest logs your connection dies for a bit during it, and in both gaps is what looks to be UPnP (Universal Plug & Play) activity. This same activity also occurs immediately after each download connection is lost for both logs. This relates to the driver delays I'm seeing involving mup.sys, mrxsmb.sys, etc. So overall, something involving network file-sharing and the like has to be suffering. I unfortunately could not garner anything worthwhile from the kernel dump as I don't have anything specific to latch onto for further analysis.

All-in-all, I suspect either UPnP is the problem, or something is bugging out when UPnP is pushed through it (like antivirus software). We can try and verify this by turning off UPnP/SSDP on both your PC and the router. To turn it off on your PC, you'll want to go to Services (type it in Start Menu) and disable both SSDP Discovery and UPnP services then restart the PC. As for the router, look for any settings on it that have to do with SSDP and UPnP and disable em. Restart the router when you do so.

There may be adverse side effects of this, such as not being able to see other PCs/printers on the network. Confirm if there are. Also make sure it actually puts a dent in your problem. If it doesn't, I'm not sure what to do from there. I can give you a list of things to do as I intended at first, but it's all just shooting in the dark from here on if that ends up being the case. If it does work, but you aren't liking the limitations for local networking it brings, then we'll work down from there to stuff related to UPnP on your router/PC to see if we can isolate just what is doing this.

 

[LP81]

I apologize for the ridiculous time between my replies.

Only Anti Virus on my computer is Microsoft Security Essentials.

Regarding other computers and printers on the network -

I have a Wireless printer on my network that I would need access to. I have my work laptop wife's computer and a PS3 on the same network but I don't necessarily need networking between the other assets.

I can play with the UPnP tomorrow when I have time to myself.

I have toyed with buying a new mobo as it seems bizarre to have all these issues... Can you recommend an alternative mobo to my current GA-Z68AP-D3 that would work with the rest of my components? (system specs are up to date)

 

[Vir Gnarus]

Yeah, you should tinker with the UPnP/SSDP services later when you do not have time-critical work to be done that relies on networked devices like your printer. Fortunately the services should be able to easily turn back on when the need arises.

Btw, one thing I forgot to mention is that SSDP and UPnP services should be set to Manual before you restart the PC after disabling them, otherwise they'll restart themselves at Windows startup. Right-click and go to properties for each one to set them from Automatic start type to Manual or even Disabled if desired.

As for a mobo, I'll have to look into it.

 

[LP81]

Any luck looking up a replacement MoBo?

This box has been sitting on my desk mocking me for a few months now and I just want to use it as it was intended...

Thanks!

 

[Vir Gnarus]

I'm sorry mate, this thread slipped past me as things have become rather busy. This evidently has not been the first time.

I'm afraid I don't have that much time right now either to go shopping, as motherboards can be rather meticulous since you have to consider RAM and CPU compatibilities. Your best bet is to go on Newegg and first look up all mobos that involve the socket type for your CPU and is in your price range, then google their RAM support lists to see if they'll jive with yer current RAM. The specific model doesn't have to be listed, per se, just the timings, speed and size of each stick. All that info is typically referred to in the model name for RAM sticks (hence why the model names are so long).

Sorry I could not assist you further on this, and that I've left you hanging. Good luck on the motherboard, and I sure hope it resolves your case!

 

[LP81]

Well, here's an interesting development...

Might be a coincidence... Might not

About a week ago, my Wireless router in the house decided to start acting up. I could connect to it with a lap top and phones, but no internet signal. It's a Belkin F5D8236-4 Wireless N Router.

I tried all I could to get it working again, including a hard factory reset. I'd plug it in and the Modem Light would blink orange as if there was some communication error.

Fed up I decided to buy a new Router - New one is Belkin N750 Dual-Band.

On a whim, I turned the problematic desktop and so far, it seems those network gremlins have gone away. at least the first few files I've downloaded came down like a champ.

You think a bad flaky wireless router elsewhere on the network ( not directly connected to the desktop) could have cause all these problems?

Do you recommend a good test to verify this?

 

[Vir Gnarus]

I would not doubt it in the least. As for testing to verify, we tried everything we could and I could only pinpoint it to an issue regarding UPnP/SSDP services. However I couldn't tell from the data collected whether it originated from the router itself or the system, but figuring that when changing ports and all didn't help, I thought it would most likely be the PC. Having some form of logs from the router would've helped clarify things, but those aren't particularly easy to extract from most routers. Nevertheless, it sounds like it was indeed the router going foul. Glad to hear it, mate.

 

[LP81]

I appreciate all your help on this.

For now I am going to mark this string as "Solved" and keep and eye on it.

Who'd a thought that the original RAM Voltage mismatch would be covering up the bad router (and vice versa)

Thanks again for everything Vin, James, Dwarf & Dave

 

[Dave76]

You're welcome.
Glad to see you got it all working, congrats.
