Intermittent ntoskrnl.exe+7cc80 BSOD

Retail Win 7 Pro x64 (clean install, but was doing the same thing before reinstall)
Hardware about a year old, except for relatively recent RAM addition - but Memtest checks out with 0 errors.

The BSOD seems to happen at random; I can't find any sort of pattern here.

In addition to the attached files requested in the sticky, Bluescreenview outputs the following:

==================================================
Filename : ntoskrnl.exe
Address In Stack : ntoskrnl.exe+7c229
From Address : fffff800`02c0d000
To Address : fffff800`031f5000
Size : 0x005e8000
Time Stamp : 0x4f558b55
Time String : 06/03/2012 04:58:13
Product Name : Microsoft® Windows® Operating System
File Description : NT Kernel & System
File Version : 6.1.7601.17790 (win7sp1_gdr.120305-1505)
Company : Microsoft Corporation
Full Path : C:\Windows\system32\ntoskrnl.exe
==================================================

All drivers are up to date except for NVIDIA HD Audio, which I didn't bother installing since I don't use it (hence disabled devices). However, this WAS installed prior to fresh OS install, and the BSOD was happening then too.

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Cisco AnyConnect device is disabled in perfmon /report. Please uninstall it. In most cases Windows loads the drivers for the device before it disables it. If you don't wish to uninstall it, then enable it and ensure that it's updated to the latest available version that's compatible with your OS, then disable it again.

Same thing goes for your disabled Audio device.

Wouldn't uninstalling/updating disabled drivers only have any effect if the BSOD happened at boot? It never has, it seems to occur at random (not even after a consistent amount of uptime or anything). Nonetheless, I've uninstalled the NVIDIA audio drivers since I don't need them. The VPN is up to date, but I need that to use my university's network off-campus. I've been using that program/driver for years without any problems, so it'd be weird for it to suddenly start acting up... EDIT: To clarify, it's disabled because the VPN client only enables it when it's required, then disables it again when you disconnect.

For the time being, I've tried switching my RAM about on the off-chance that's anything to do with it (though I don't see why it would be). I've also reset Windows' boot settings to defaults, just in case that's involved - when I upgraded my RAM the max memory allocation dropped to 0 and the system wouldn't use more than 3.49 GB of the 8 GB installed. I had updated that setting to use the full 8 GB, and it seemed to be working (unless it's what's been causing the BSOD).

I'll have a look at Driver Verifier, too...

No, once the drivers are loaded, they're fully working. Although they're not a likely cause, we don't know the exact details of how these devices interact with other drivers/devices. It's your system - you do what you want with these devices - I only offer suggestions.

As for "random" occurences - it's my opinion that there isn't any such thing as a random BSOD. Rather it's responding to something that we can't see and is crashing because of that. It's our job to dive in deep enough to find this cause (and use that information to fix the system).

If you've been using the device for years without problems, what's the guarantee that it'll continue to work without any problems. It's sorta like the tires on your car - they've worked without problem for 50,000 miles, why shouldn't they last another 50,000 without problems?

Driver Verifier is the tool that's most likely to give us info at this point. We don't know if this is a 3rd party driver issue, a hardware problem, or a Windows issue. With only one memory dump we're not even able to establish a pattern that would suggest a hardware problem (that takes 5 or more memory dumps on average).

Then, if hardware is indicated, we have to wonder if it's:
- hardware problems
- overclocking
- compatibility issues
- low-level driver problems
- malware

Driver Verifier according to the instructions that I wrote will tell us if it's a 3rd party driver or not.
If it doesn't point out a 3rd party driver, then it's most likely to be a hardware issue (see the list above for the different types of issues that are suggested by the hardware error pattern) - although Windows is also possible.

I thought I'd replied, sorry; I must've somehow forgotten to send it.

I know drivers load whether disabled or not, I just meant it'd seem weird for that to be a cause when the crashes never occur until long after boot (just how long though, seems to be variable). Nonetheless, I've fully uninstalled the unnecessary GPU sound drivers as well as the considerably more useful VPN, partly because the latter was throwing up a huge number of errors in Event Viewer (despite otherwise functioning correctly, as it has for years).

I completely agree about the non-random nature of BSOD, by the way... what I said was that it seems random, i.e. I can't see any kind of pattern yet myself. That's not to say there isn't one; I just haven't found it. I had no further crashes til this evening, and verifier doesn't appear to have dumped anything to help with diagnosis. I'll continue to run it and hope it picks up something, I suppose.

I just ran another memtest, because it's the only hardware change that occurred recently before the crashes began and I'm therefore suspicious. It once again reported 0 errors. However, I understand that ntoskrnl.exe (the NT kernel specified in the crash info) contains the memory manager, amongst other things... so perhaps it does relate to the RAM in some other way I don't comprehend?

WRT the list of potential culprits:
  • the only hardware change, as I said, is the addition of 4GB of identical RAM...
  • no overclocking whatsoever; I accidentally bought a locked SI mobo (it was incredibly cheap, so I just kept it)
  • again, drivers have functioned perfectly for ages; there were no changes to any before the BSOD started happening

I'm a bit stumped, really... I don't see how it can be anything to do with Windows or drivers since the BSOD persists after a complete reformat and clean installation, but the hardware hasn't been touched aside from RAM. I suppose there might be some intermittent fault which suddenly developed somewhere (CPU/mobo?) but otherwise I'm pretty much baffled at this point.

It may sound weird, but the more we can remove the less we have to troubleshoot.

I understand about the randomness - but once we find the pattern we're almost at the point of solving it.

Even if Driver Verifier doesn't blame a 3rd party driver - it still gives us information.
Running Driver Verifier for 36 hours without a 3rd party driver being blamed says to me that it isn't a 3rd party driver - so that leaves hardware (most likely) or Windows (less likely)

If you're concerned about the RAM, run the Blend test in Prime95. Sometimes this will spit out errors when MemTest86+ doesn't see any. There's a link and instructions here: Additional Hardware Diagnostics

If it's still BSOD'ing, the next step is to update all of the 2009 and earlier drivers. This includes updating the antivirus software (no matter how old) and the video drivers (not matter how old).
You probably won't find an update for ASACPI.sys - as I believe the 2009 version is the newest version available from Asus

Once all drivers are updated/replaced we've pretty much eliminated 3rd party drivers as a cause.
Then we move on to either hardware or Windows troubleshooting.

I could be wrong but I think/hope it's a problem with the AHCI driver (iastor.sys, I believe?)

I forgot this, but I changed from IDE to AHCI mode around the same time as the issues started (I think) and apparently ASUS boards can have issues with this. I also chose AHCI mode when reinstalling Windows. Infuriatingly, the ASUS site doesn't have any newer than the 2009 drivers so I thought they were the newest. I have now, however, found a 2010 version and installed that. Time will tell, I suppose. I also uninstalled TAGES because it was only needed for The Witcher in an old version (they removed the TAGES check in an update) but I had TAGES running fine before.

Thanks for all your help. I'm not really sure if I should mark this as solved yet, but you can if you reckon it's the best course of action.

EDIT: Forgot to mention, the reason I think it's this is I found a whole bunch of hard disk errors in event viewer despite checkdisk finding no issues. So I figured it was probably the controller.

FWIW - techs at work fiddle with the AHCI settings to make hard drive tests run (that wouldn't otherwise run) - so I presume that there's an impact on how it address' the hard drive (but haven't done any research about it).

iastor.sys is an Intel driver. The latest Intel drivers are available from http://downloadcenter.intel.com

Run Seagate Seatools on ALL drives (there's a link to it in this page of mine here: Hard Drive Diagnostic Procedure ) The error that I saw was on Hard Drive 3.

Seatools has (as I recall) a good controller test built into the Long/Extended test. That'll tell you if you need to worry about the Event Viewer errors.

Gotta run or I'm gonna miss my plane. I'll be back by Sunday evening (going to Panama City, FL for my nephew's wedding!).

Right, that definitely appears to have fixed it. No controller errors in Event Viewer since upgrading the AHCI/SATA controller past the version available on the ASUS (chipset) site. SeaTools found nothing wrong either.

Thanks for your help with this, I really appreciate it. Hope the wedding went awright!

... Apparently I spoke too soon. Different cause according to BlueScreenView this time: fltmgr.sys. Can't see a thing in Event Viewer that helps me.

I've switched back to IDE mode and uninstalled the AHCI controller to see if that changes anything. I've also stuck Driver Verifier on again just in case that shows up anything.

Otherwise? Stumped.

Wedding was great! Reception ended at midnight and we had to leave for the airport at 3am. I'm exhausted - so take everything that I say with a grain of salt!

Run Seagate Seatools on ALL drives. Can't hurt - and it might reveal something.

Your VIA High Definition Audio Function Driver dates from 2009. Please update or uninstall and remove the device from the system.

Keep running Driver Verifier for at least 36 hours of operation.

Intel storage drivers date from 2010 - were those the most current at the Intel site?

Intel Management Engine Interface also dates from 2009. Please update it.

If not using the Microsoft Lifecam a lot, please uninstall it's software and remove the device from the system while we're testing. It's not that there's anything wrong with it (dates from Jan 2010) - it's just that the driver sticks out like a sore thumb, so I have to wonder about it.

Oh, jeez. Glad it was good though!

Yeah, those were the most recent drivers I could find. I've switched back to IDE mode anyway, though (I stopped getting the AHCI controller errors after updating the driver, but I did originally switch from IDE to AHCI before the BSODs started). The Intel Management Interface should've been removed when I installed the new driver set - it was replaced with Intel Rapid Storage Technology software, which does much the same job but much better. If it's still sitting there, it shouldn't be... I'll look into that.

You know what? Screw it, I'll try AHCI again for the sake of consistency.

I didn't manage to update the audio drivers; I had no idea which drivers to update them to. However, I've just found out which particular onboard sound chip my mobo uses so I'm installing the 2010 driver now.

By the way, I did run Seatools on every drive; I only have 2 installed now though. The third one was an extremely slow PATA drive which I figured was probably doing more damage (heat, case space) than it was worth. Also, not using it means I can switch off the IDE controller in the BIOS and avoid having to wait a few extra seconds on boot while the system looks for PATA drives.

Thanks for your continued patience and help on this.

EDIT: Right! I'm now up to a 2011 Intel AHCI driver (with RST), 2010 VIA audio, and 2011 Realtek ethernet (had to do rather a lot of hunting; found the right one listed for use with a different ASUS board). Driver Verifier is on. Let's see what happens now.

... Aaaaaand there we go. :cry:

Was listening to music, got a BSOD which resulted in a very loud buzzing noise from speakers then powered off. It's happened like that a few times (though not every time).

See anything useful this time round?

Almost done with the 3rd party stuff! Once we finish ruling out 3rd party stuff - then we have to choose between troubleshooting hardware (more likely IMO) or Windows (less likely IMO).

So, here's what to do next:

You'll have to update the Intel Management Engine stuff - it's still dating from 2009. IMO it's not the same thing as the Rapid Storage Technology stuff and I frequently find it on systems that also have the Rapid Storage Technology stuff installed from the factory.

Are you running HotspotShield? If so, uninstall it immediately! There have been recent problems with it. It's taphss.sys driver dates from 2009 also. Driver Reference Table - taphss.sys
All other suspicions are off if this fixes things (it works at a low-level on the system, so it may resemble a hardware problem).

Fix those 2 and then we wait for the next BSOD
Is Driver Verifier still running (if so, this seems to me to indicate a hardware problem)
While waiting for another BSOD, please run Prime95 to see if it generates any errors. You can download it for free from the link here: Additional Hardware Diagnostics

I turned off verifier after BSOD in accordance with the instructions on the page you linked at the start, but yes, it was still running 'til I did.

Hotspot Shield's gone now. The Matrix Storage Manager, on the other hand, is supposedly just an older version of the RST which hasn't fully uninstalled for some reason. See Intel RST 9.6 or Intel matrix storage manager?? Which driver or both? - AnandTech Forums for instance. The software was automatically removed by the RST installer, but the driver wasn't. I've uninstalled it now, so we'll see if that changes anything. Nothing crashed or anything when I removed it, anyway. EDIT: The system seems to be happy enough running the RST (iastor.sys driver + software) without Matrix Storage Manager driver (iastorV.sys), but devmgmt is now complaining that I don't have it installed. Reinstalling the RST just ignores it. Would you recommend disabling it or just reinstalling the outdated iastorV.sys? The reason that driver was dated 2009 is that there is no newer version - after that it became the RST, which seems to only use iastor.sys. A bit of Googling suggests that I might not be the only one seeing instability when both iastor and iastorV are installed, so perhaps that was my issue after all... but if that's the case, I'm not sure how to stop devmgmt moaning about the "PCI Simple Communications Controller" (the removed iastorV). I've disabled it for the time being.

Shall I start up verifier again then? Also, I already ran Prime95 and it found bugger all. You still want me to run it again?

Also: This might be nothing, I'm not sure... but I wonder if my case isn't entirely grounded properly. The main speaker socket in the back panel is flakey as hell in that rotating the jack in the socket sometimes makes the speakers crackle and cut out sequentially. Front panel's problem-free. If there was a grounding issue, I suppose that might explain crashes that are happening many hours after boot, since there'd be a lot of buildup by then. However, I don't see why there'd be an issue with grounding - unless I've just made some major rookie mistake with the build over a year ago and it's only now becoming an issue.

Matrix Storage Manager is the old version of Rapid Storage Technology
Management Engine is a different creature from that (and, IMO, a confusing one).

Here's the links to the download for the Management Engine for your chipset (double check just-in-case I screwed up): http://downloadcenter.intel.com/Detail_Desc.aspx?agr=Y&DwnldID=18532&lang=eng&OSVersion=Windows%207%20%2864-bit%29*&DownloadType=%0ADrivers%0A I'm having difficulty extracting the files from the download - so I can't tell you if the HECIx64.sys driver is more recent or not (the package itself dates from05/24/2010). If it's not older, then it's a good idea (anyway) to remove it and install a fresh copy (in case of file corruption in the original).

Please see the description at the link above as it appears to address your errors with the PCI Simple Communications Controller:
Additional Notes

If the Intel® Management Engine (Intel ME) driver has not been successfully installed, you may see an error on a "PCI Simple Communications Controller" in Device Manager.

I've changed the above post a couple of times - and just noticed that you're here also. Please reread it.
Also, don't worry about Driver Verifier right now - I was just thinking aloud.
I suggested Prime95 to get a head start on hardware diagnostics (without having to use a boot disk for MemTest86+). We'll see what happens and will move on from there.

Good luck!

Well, I have Memtest on a bootable USB drive if that's preferable to Prime95. Actually, I think I uninstalled Prime95, not that reinstallation is difficult or anything. Might I as well just use Memtest or is Prime95 preferable? Downloading the above driver now, thanks for that - it is rather confusing indeed. EDIT: Yeah, it's the same date as the old driver methinks (2009, anyway).

ANOTHER EDIT, FOR WHICH I APOLOGISE: Just thought it might be worth mentioning that Hotspot Shield definitely is NOT the cause of this - I only installed it yesterday to try something out.

MemTest86+ is better at detecting errors.
Prime95 is better at stressing RAM (which causes errors in defective RAM).
Run MemTest overnight.

Since Prime95 didn't find errors, then you'll want to run MemTest86+ for a long time to see if it spits out any errors.
