Intermittent BSOD 0x00000050.

[Zephyranthes]

Hello,

I've got a custom built machine and I'm intermittently receiving a 0x50 BSOD.

It lists AFD.SYS, Ntoskrnl.sys and dxgmmsl.sys randomly.

I've fully re installed windows and updated my BIOS/Drivers to the latest versions on the respective manufacturers websites to no avail.

I've also tried using Windows' "Verifier" program to use only signed drivers and it did nothing for me.

Any ideas?

Thanks gentlemen.

Hi Zephyranthes.

The display driver is failing here.

And it is old.

Uninstall your installed version of the display driver.

• How-To Uninstall AMD Catalyst Drivers From A Windows Based System

Then clean up any possible leftover.

• http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/83814-drivers-clean-left-over-files-after-uninstalling.html

Then install version 13.9 WHQL only.

• Previous AMD Catalyst? Display Drivers

Not suggesting to go to the latest, as it is kinda problematic.

But the extensive failure is from the part of ESET.

Also, again ......

In this situation, my suggestion would be to uninstall ESET. Use Microsoft Security Essentials as your antivirus with windows inbuilt firewall, and free MBAM as the on demand scanner.

Download, install and update those, and then run full system scans with both of them, one by one; for a safety reason as the installed antivirus failed.

Let us know the results.

Thanks for the reply!

I've just uninstalled Nod32 and uninstalled/updated my video driver.

The BSOD is completely intermittent so I will post back with results after some time.

OK, take your time. Observe how the system is running. Let us know for any further issue.
