Hi guys, first post here, so hello to everyone.

My husband's computer has been behaving erratically for about 10 days or so. It will crash with different BSOD's at random.

Details of the behavior:
- The computer shuts itself down anytime: It can be idle doing nothing for hours, you may be working with it, running programs or not, after it just restarted or after about 12 hours or more.
- The BSOD messages so far have been: "BAD_POOL_HEADER" (mainly on the first few days, haven't seen that one in a while), "SYSTEM_SERVICE_EXCEPTION", a few days ago and twice yesterday, and "IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL" a good few times. Today, for the first time, when running the BSOD Dump & System File Collection app, we had a "MEMORY_MANAGEMENT" one.
-I used "Speccy" to monitor the temperatures and there's no sign of overheating for CPU or motherboard. The graphic card is at around 80 C, but i've read that's quite OK.
- There has been no major new software installed (I think my husband had installed quicktime a couple of days before), windows has been updated, and there have been NO hardware changes at all. There is no hardware connected to the computer except for the USB wireless adaptor for the Mouse and keyboard (see below).
- Technical details: Computer is a Packard Bell Onetwo L A6524 UK.
AMD Athion II X2 220 dual-core processor
23" multimedia Touch monitor Full HD 1080
4GB DDR3 Memory
1 TB HD
DVD Super Multidrive
NVDIA GeForce 9200 graphics
Software: Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit

The computer is fairly new (3 months old or so), OEM, we haven't done anything hardware-wise, windows updates are ran frequently, and no major software changes done. About three days before the first BSOD there was a power cut here. I unplugged it after the power cut, and only restarted it a good while after power came back.

What I've done so far:
- Ran chkdsk and sfc/scannow, both came clean. (May 31st)
- Removed Avast (and installed MSE) and updated the nVidia drivers (SMU, storage, graphics and ethernet) (also May 31st)
-After that the computer ran normally for about 12 hours, until it crashed again when i re-enabled the power management settings. It crashed at the time it was scheduled to shut down the monitor. It BSOD a couple of times, i disabled power management and crashed again, it was an "IRQL" BSOD, the culprit was "usbport.sys".
- After that it started crashing during POST. It just wouldn't start, once it managed to beep once and then it made a long, continuous beep.
- Then I moved the wireless adaptor to a different usb port and it started normally. After it restarted, I disabled "USB selective suspend setting". No usbport.sys crashes since then. (June 2nd).
-Worked fine for a while, then it crashed again: "BAD_POOL_HEADER", restarted normally for a few minutes, but it froze (wouldn't respond to keyboard, mouse or touchscreen) and the bottom of the screen was "flickering" (like an old VCR having tracking issues). Turned it off, on again, restarted without issues (June 3rd)
- Worked fine for nearly 24 hours, crashed again yesterday while watching a youtube video in fullscreen (we had been watching videos for a while, without any problems).
- Since then, it's crashed a couple of times. Last time was the "MEMORY MANAGEMENT" one I mentioned above.
- Ran Dump & System File Collection in safe mode. Then restarted and ran System Health Report in normal mode.
- Saw something about the mouse in the SHR, checked the drivers, found 2 mice (?), disabled one, checked for updates, it said the drivers were up to date.

I'm attaching SHE report, Dump & System File Collection report, and the whole minidump zipped folder in case you want to take a look at it.

Thanks for any input you might provide. I can find my way around a PC, but please bear in mind I haven't used Windows in a couple of years, so please anything you need me doing, explain it to me as if i were 5 years old, cause it takes me a long while to find my way around W7 :)

Crashes seem to have been plaguing this machine in various forms for some times looking over the information.
Unfortunately I'm unable to pin down any one cause and the minidumps are all over the place.

I do notice that the usb system driver has caused several of the crashes. I would recommend unplugging any usb devices in the short term to see if that helps clear up the issue.

That being said.

There's 2 things I would like you to try for the moment.


The first is a simple windows core file check, this is easy to do and only takes a few minutes.
http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/1538-sfc-scannow-command-system-file-checker.html

The second is not very difficult either but will take some time (it's best to allow it to run overnight) and that is to check the physical memory for problems
http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/105647-ram-test-memtest86.html

Needless to say you have a massive number of minidumps here to go over, and I would like to try these two relatively easy on both of us options before I start digging through 15+ minidumps looking for a common problem causer.


I'm attaching one of the minidumps just for future reference.

DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL (d1)
An attempt was made to access a pageable (or completely invalid) address at an
interrupt request level (IRQL) that is too high.  This is usually
caused by drivers using improper addresses.
If kernel debugger is available get stack backtrace.
Arguments:
Arg1: 000000006f6d7455, memory referenced
Arg2: 0000000000000002, IRQL

Just ran sfc / scannow, and came clear: "Windows Resource Protection did not find any integrity violations".

Going to run Memtest later tonight.

About the USB: We currently don't have (and haven't had since the problems began) anything plugged in any of the usb's except for the wireless adaptor (and we need that for keyboard and mouse, even if we went for wired mouse/keyboard, the ones we have are all USB). There was a huge difference after I moved the wireless adaptor to a different USB port a couple of days ago. At least it stopped the computer from hanging during POST, and having all sorts of startup issues.

We had another BSOD, before running sfc. This one said "an attempt was made to execute to non-executable memory". No dump was created. The computer restarted without any issues after that.

Thanks for taking the trouble to go over all this data. I know it's a massive lot and even I realize that it's pretty much all over the place and doesn't have a clear pattern. That's why we're getting quite confused and annoyed. :(

Thanks again!

Yeah, let's go ahead and wait for the memtest to run overnight. That still seems like the right thing to do here.

Hi again,

Ran memtest during the night. 9 passes were completed and no errors found.

The computer has been stable for the last 18 hours or so (I think the last BSOD was the one i mentioned in the post above). But i'm pretty sure it's going to at some point :sarc:

What's next?

Hi again,

Between the time of my last post and yesterday evening the computer was absolutely fine. No crashes, no BSOD, all worked seamlessly, Whether using it normally or being idle, it worked. So i held off on running Driver verifier.

Late last night, it crashed again, quite out of the blue (no pun intended). It crashed twice, my husband turned it on again this morning, and it was working fine but, since it had crashed again, I ran DV.
Upon first rebooting after enabling it, nothing happened for a few minutes (not sure how long), but at some point the computer froze, not even responding to ctrl+alt+del. So i turned it off, back on, and after a while i got another BSOD. It was an "IRQL" one, and had a hell of a time turning the computer back on again after that, since it started hanging during POST (not beeping, not doing anything really). After a good few attempts, it started again. I disabled verifier, copied the dumps (i'm attaching last night one and the one after enabling verifier). The file ending in 20030-01 is from last night, the 20482-01 one is post Driver Verifier.

Thank you!

That's normal actually driver verifier is supposed to crash problem drivers. I'll have a look and post back in a bit here, it's a hectic day for me so give me a little time

okay I am having a really hard time tracking down specific information on your system.
Is there a part number you can give for it?
I think we're looking at a chipset driver issue here, I know the chipset is nvidia, but I don't know exactly which one and I am having a hard time getting specific information from packard bell with the information I already have.
A part code should look something like this
PW.U4402.004

Sorry we seem to be just spinning our wheels but these OneTwo's are basically laptops that have been turned on their side, so I really need to be specific with the drivers or we could make things worse.

Hi Maguscreed,
Thanks for the quick reply. Just to make something clear: I did expect Driver Verifier to make the computer BSOD, it did worry me a bit when after crashing it just wouldn't start at all.
It keeps BSOD'ing even after i disabled it, btw.

Where do i get the chipset part code from?

If there is a part number for the item I would assume it to be on the back of the panel ...

actually scratch that I'm starting to wonder if this is a thermal profile issue after familiarizing myself a bit more with the model series.
Can you navigate through this

and find the bios update for you model?

Managed to turn the computer on (briefly) and tried to find something that looked like what you mentioned but couldn't find it (was probably looking in the wrong place).
I ran Speccy and saved all the info it tells, so maybe there's something in there you might find helpful.

I was just replying all this here and I saw your reply :)
I'll upload the speccy text file anyway (because you might find what you're looking for before I do) and in the meantime, i'll check the link you gave me and see if i can find the right one .

BTW, last restart didn't last long. Computer worked fine for about 30 minutes, it even loaded the screensaver fine, and then it became all "lines" (not sure how to explain, all horizontal lines somehow formed by the image that was being showed, but all scrambled)

Will get back to you as soon as I find what you need at the PB site
Thank you!

This is not something I normally suggest, but I think it's about time to contact packard bell.
What you are describing is sounding more and more like either a heat or hardware problem.
That's not something I can help you fix here.

This most recent crash sounds like a corruption of the graphics video memory.
Nothing I have tracked in the dumps points directly to any software issue.
I'm going to have another dump file reader come and have a look at your stuff as well, but it's seeming more and more like the machine is either suffering a heat issue or some kind of hardware failure.

Your chrash causes are all over the map as Maguscreed said. USB,video driver, etc.

SInce they are I am thinking one of two causes

1-hardware. see here
Your .dmp file shows a stop error of 0x124 which is a general hardware error .

A "stop 0x124" is fundamentally different to many other types of bluescreens because it stems from a hardware complaint.

Stop 0x124 minidumps contain very little practical information, and it is therefore necessary to approach the problem as a case of hardware in an unknown state of distress.

You can read more on this error and what to try here... Stop 0x124 - what it means and what to try http://www.sevenforums.com/crash-lockup-debug-how/35349-stop-0x124-what-means-what-try.html




2-malware. Download malwarebytes and run in safe mode.


I also notive your avast which of itself can cause BSOD's on certain systems. REmove and replace to test with Microsoft Security Essentials

http://files.avast.com/files/eng/aswclear5.exe

Virus, Spyware & Malware Protection | Microsoft Security Essentials

I would also remove utorrent for a different torrent client.

For what it may be worth, I'm pretty sure the model is PW.U5R, and that's pretty much all i could get from the back panel. The BIOS is P01-A1, and the date is a month older than the one in the PB site. There's no mention I can find anywhere of the other BIOS stated in the PB site for that model (the one that says "Updates system fan curve") nor do I know whether there should be one.

Just out of curiosity, about heat issues: Am I assuming right in thinking that the 3 temps that matter are CPU, motherboard and graphics? I'm asking because those are the 3 i've been monitoring throughout all this, and they've been pretty stable --as I said in my first post, the Graphics temp seemed a bit too high and the reading from Speccy I posted here is at idle and 2 minutes after starting the computer (74 Celsius), but what I read was that Graphic cards can handle higher temps (mine never seems to go over 50 though).
Also, I did have some heat issues a couple of years ago, and the pattern was pretty much the same as you get when a car overheats: If you start it from cold, it'll do OK for a while, it crashes when on for some time, and if you restart it right away it will not last long cause it hasn't had time to cool down. This was not the pattern the crashes presented in this case (although off the top of my head i'm thinking that an intermittently failing cooling fan could cause this?).
Which brings me to the next question: How many fans is a OneTwo supposed to have? Speccy only sees the CPU one, it made me curious (I have a Mac myself which, to me, is the same kind of thing, and it has 3: CPU, HD and Optical Drive).

About the corruption of the graphics video memory: Is it something that can also come and go? When it happened today, my husband said "oh yes, i had that yesterday when trying to see something in MySpace". He had mentioned it, but I had thought it was more like the screen freezing, he took a picture and it was just like happened today. The computer restarted normally after it happened to him.
Found an app called GPU-Z
Code:
http://www.techpowerup.com/gpuz/
. Do you think it's worth downloading it to check ours? Safe? Useful?

Thanks a lot for your help! I'm sorry if i'm being a nuisance, I just want to have all the information possible if we have to take it back to PB (which seems like the most likely scenario), and also I always liked knowing all I could about computer issues in order to know what to do best in each case. That seemed a much easier task in the good old XP days, lol.

Hi zigzag,

Took me so long to write my latest post that i couldn't see yours

It's nearly 4 AM here, so I just took a quick look at the stop 0x124 article and will look more into it in the morning.
At first glance:
1) Cooling issues, there's a few questions i have in the post above this one
2) Overclocking: Not that we have done it, could it have come overclocked when we bought it and how do we know?
3) BIOS updating: Also, in the post above I put what I found (or my reply to what Maguscreed found). Not sure whether or not to update?
4) Stress tests: memtest86 ran 9 passes and found nothing. I ran chkdsk about a week ago, and came clean too (without the /r, can run it with it if you think it's necessary)

Also, Avast was uninstalled also about a week ago, did you find evidence of it in a recent dump? In theory the uninstall wasn't much trouble and we didn't get any message saying there were components left behind, but I'll check. Using MSE now.
utorrent: Can it cause trouble even when it's not running? The computer crashed many times with only the standard startup programs running (utorrent not one of them).

Time for bed, I'll give the article a long read tomorrow, and start by running malwarebytes and chkdsk/r unless you think the previous chkdsk was enough. Thank you!!

Update: Ran chkdsk again, and it came clear. Ran malwarebytes and it came clean (the computer actually BSOD'd while running it, but it was already over halfway through scanning the non system partition)
Since updating the NVIDIA drivers hadn't changed much a couple of days ago, we just went for a full format and re-install. I was intending to go for a "vanilla" install, but apparently we can't because the PB recovery disks make the full install with all of PB's software included, and you're never prompted for an option not to.

After installing for a couple of hours without any hassle at all, the computer BSOD'd again an hour or so into Windows.

It's going back to the shop tomorrow. :mad:

Irene,

I have the exact same PC as you bought from PC world

Computer is a Packard Bell Onetwo L A6524 UK.
AMD Athion II X2 220 dual-core processor
23" multimedia Touch monitor Full HD 1080
4GB DDR3 Memory
1 TB HD
DVD Super Multidrive
NVDIA GeForce 9200 graphics
Software: Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit

Bought it in December last year so is still in warranty! I've had no issues with this PC until this morning

Woke up this morning went to use PC which to be fair has been powered on for a couple of days (not unusual for me) Moved mouse to wake it up from sleep mode and got a BSOD, after rebooting the machine doesnt even show the BIOS screen just keeps rebooting itself, powered off for a few minutes to cool down but still doesnt start, tried all the usual unplug all USB's etc but hasnt helped!!

From all your above posts does sound like a overheating issue!! Hoping after leaving mine to cool all day it boots up else its going straight back to the shop!! I have lots of data on mine which needs to be backed would temporary removing the HDD void any warranty?

Did you get yours machine replaced in the end?

Thanks

Simon

Hi Simon: Sorry to hear about your computer.
We eventually took it back to PC World, they sent it to repair, it took a bit over 2 weeks. Got it back on June 30th and on July 8th it started with BSODs again!!!!
We took it back on Sunday, and my husband got a call from them on Tuesday, in which they offered to replace it with a brand new one. My hubbty asked if he could get a different computer even if he had to pay the difference, at which point the technician pretty much admitted that it would probably be a good idea cause it looks like the whole touchscreen thing is not fully invented and causing a great deal of conflicts.
My hubby then went to the shop, paid the difference and got himself a Mac :)

BTW they never told us what the problem was or what they did the first time to "solve" it.
Hope you get yours sorted without so much hassle. I wouldn't remove the HDD just in case, as i think that might void the warranty.
