Multiple BSODs with ntoskrnl.exe as the culprit?

Bcoolbyte · Apr 17, 2010

For a long time, I've been suffering from BSODs. Just yesterday I had two, one while browsing the web, and another while playing Medieval II: Total War. Here is the analysis from WhoCrashed:

At first I thought installed Windows 7 wrongly (for some reason files were left over from my XP system, even though I had selected "Custom Install") and the local repair shop suggested reinstalling XP, then installing 7 again. They did so, and this time it was a clean install. The BSODs I was getting before were different however:

(Stupidly I didn't back up the crash dump files themselves, so I'm afraid I can't attach them.)

Also previously, Windows Memory Diagnostic was telling me that there were errors with my memory. Now it's saying otherwise.

I've got a few things left to try; I haven't yet updated my audio drivers, so that'll be my next step I suppose, and I've read suggestions such as updating my chipset drivers and testing my HDD.

Still, if anyone could offer any help, I'd be very appreciative.

Uninstall Opera and download Firefox Browser | Free ways to customize your Internet as for the other blue screen make sure all your drivers are up to date, also make sure the game is up to date as well.

totalguy · Apr 17, 2010

although opera has its issues at the moment i wouldnt agree with that opera is safer than firefox, i just hope they sort the problems out soon. i had no issues with opera upto the later version 9's its since version 10 theres been problems on windows 7 and xp.

Crispy · Apr 17, 2010

You can try reverting back to Opera 9 if that works or you can try IE.

totalguy · Apr 17, 2010

mine seems to crash mostly on farmville on facebook and other apps involving flash i think opera need to pull their finger out it never used to crash at all

Bcoolbyte · Apr 17, 2010

Hmm, if there are problems with Opera then I'll go back to FireFox for the time being.

My games have been crashing a lot (but not through BSODs), so I tried rolling my driver back to 195.62 . Started playing TF2, and got another BSOD, again with ntoskrnl.exe as the culprit.

It's probably the new drivers fault, but if anyone could help me with the general crashing i'd be much obliged. I've attached my DxDiag for reference.

If it isnt a Blue screen what kind of crash is it? Above it says the minidump is located in c:\windows\minidump. We need the actual DMP files.

Bcoolbyte · May 8, 2010

Whoops, sorry. I've attached them now.

The crashes which aren't BSODs are all "<ProgramName> has stopped working" errors.

You need to make sure that your DirectX is up to date you can download there: Download details: DirectX Redist (February 2010)

Bcoolbyte · May 8, 2010

Right, uninstalled Opera and installed the DirectX redist.

Played Team Fortress 2 and it crashed again, but since I haven't rebooted since installing the redist, perhaps that's why?

the two that crispy didnt post were caused by

as well as the link date of the driver/image that contains this address.
Arguments:
Arg1: 0000000000000000, The exception code that was not handled
Arg2: 0000000000000000, The address that the exception occurred at
Arg3: 0000000000000000, Parameter 0 of the exception

IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL (a)
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 a kernel debugger is available get the stack backtrace.
Arguments:
Arg1: 0000000000000028, memory referenced
Arg2: 0000000000000002, IRQL
Arg3: 0000000000000001, bitfield :
    bit 0 : value 0 = read operation, 1 = write operation
    bit 3 : value 0 = not an execute operation, 1 = execute operation (only on chips which support this level of status)
Arg4: fffff80002c87c17, address which referenced memory

Wiith the two Crispy did and these two all having different causes I have to think it is hardware related. Use these to look at what to try and what it means. http://www.sevenforums.com/crash-lockup-debug-how/35349-2-int-stop-0x124-what-means-what-try.html

Let us know if you need help

Given that the games are crashing to the desktop, but the desktop itself and other programs such as Word and Firefox seem to be stable, would the Graphics card be the first component worth testing? Or could it still be anything?

Jonathan_King · May 8, 2010

GFX card is a big culprit in gaming BSODs. Still could be anything though.

Bcoolbyte · May 8, 2010

Hmm, in that case I'll try that first.

I've had a look around, and there seem to be quite a lot of GFX card stress testers; are there any in particular which anyone could recommend?

Crispy · May 9, 2010

Try this: Futuremark

Bcoolbyte · May 9, 2010

Just a few questions. Which one do I download, is it free, and if not then is there a good free stress tester you could recommend?

Crispy · May 9, 2010

3DMark Vantage: |MG| 3DMark Vantage 1.0.2 1901 Download

Bcoolbyte · May 11, 2010

Just ran 3DMark Vantage. Got a score of "P8889 3DMarks".

Not entirely sure what that means, but hopefully it'll be useful to you.

Crispy · May 11, 2010

Run it in a loop for a few hours and see if it crashes.

Multiple BSODs with ntoskrnl.exe as the culprit?
