Multiple blue screens when playing / after closing games. No minidumps

[MisaMagee]

Hello. Recently I've had many computer crashes with various error messages. I've made sure that crash dumps are enabled but haven't received any for any of the crashes. The crashes have happened while playing games sometimes and other times after closing games. I've run memtest for many passes multiple times, I've also tried re-seating my RAM but those didn't seem to work. I can't find any drivers that are out of date either. I've checked the event viewer and there hasn't been anything that seemed useful in there. I'll attach some of those files and pictures of some of the bluescreens. Thanks in advance.

I forgot to mention that it would be best if I could find a solution before the 30th.

Sorry about the bump but this was getting buried.

I just got a new bluescreen. I've attached an image of it. I'm still not getting crash dumps. Right before the crash I had firefox open and a game.

I've still been getting crashes with no dumps. It seems like my computer thinks it's making the dumps but nothing appears in the minidump folder. Also my computer will sometimes get stuck on the "Starting Windows" screen when booting. I ran a chkdsk and I've tried using startup repair and neither have helped. I'm sorry if it seems like I'm not giving much information about my problem, there's not much that I have to work with.

Can you post info using this tutorial: http://www.sevenforums.com/crashes-debugging/96879-blue-screen-death-bsod-posting-instructions.html

Don't worry about the dump file if you don't have any, just give us the other files. Thanks

Here's a link: https://dl.dropbox.com/u/20520398/Seven Forums(1).zip

Attaching the file wouldn't work.

146MB what the hell is in it :huh:

It should just be the things from the SF tool.

Hi Anthony, have you found anything out looking at the files?

Creating it right now. If you already downloaded the first one I'll take it out of my dropbox.

Are you overclocking anything?
If you are, return everything to defaults until the issue source is found.

Have a look at this tutorial to set up your computer to save the mini dumps, they will help with analyses.

Dump Files - Configure Windows to Create on BSOD

OPTION ONE
Follow steps 1,2 and 3.
On step #4, do not check the box for 'Automatically restart'. Sometimes the computer will 'restart' before the mini dump has finished writing.
Skip #5 and go to #6, you want the 'Small memory dump (Minidump)'.
Go to step 9 and 10.
Reboot.

Did you run 'memtest86+'?
How many passes?
Did it stop for any reason or did you have to stop it?
What is the brand, frequency and timings of your RAM?

It appears you've had 41,232 consecutive graphics driver crashes.
What Nvidia driver are you using?
Download and install the latest Nvidia driver, if your system is still not stable then D/L and install a previous Nvidia driver, you might need to go back 4-5 driver versions to find one that will work for you.

Check that you have the latest Java version.

You're other errors seem to be pointing to Steam and associated games. Install the new or older graphics drivers and see if that will help the stability.

If you have any MSI motherboard utilities, un-install them for testing purposes. These are known to cause system instability.

Your attached pic of the BSoD is:
STOP 0x0000001A: MEMORY_MANAGEMENT
Usual causes: Device driver, memory, kernel
The MEMORY_MANAGEMENT bug check has a value of 0x0000001A. This indicates that a severe memory management error occurred.

We'll need a mini dump to go further with this.
This may be caused by the graphics driver so let's start there.

Hi Dave. I mentioned earlier in the thread that I have run memtest multiple times for around 16 - 20 hours each. I can't remember the amount of passes at the moment. It never came up with any errors. My computer is also set up to make crash dumps. I followed that tutorial before but my minidump folder is still empty. I am not overclocking anything and I've made sure that my graphics driver is up to date. My RAM is G.Skill F3-10600CL9D-8GBNT. The timing is 9-9-9-24 and it's DDR3. I'll see about my version of Java as well. Thanks for the reply.

-Edit-

I also forgot to mention that my computer will blue screen after a while when watching a livestream. I guessed that it was an issue with flash at first but I can watch youtube videos without any problem. There are also some games that will run without crashing (TF2, CSGO, Trine 2) but some other games which aren't very demanding in terms of graphics will cause a blue screen. The Binding of Isaac will without fail cause a crash.

I also forgot to mention that running spotify while running some games seems to cause a crash. This might be coincidence though.

Do you have any MSI motherboard utilities?

I saw some drivers that are associated with MSI utilities noted in your event logs as causing problems.

Good info on memtest86+.
I always like to make sure what RAM testing program is being used as most others aren't good at error detection.

Did you confirm the 'Automatically restart' box is un-checked?
This can re-start your system before the mini dump has been written.

The automatically restart box is un-checked. Also I don't think I have any MSI utilities but I'll double check.

It doesn't look like I have any MSI utilities. The frequency of the blue screens seems to be increasing as well.
