Multiple seemingly random BSOD and crashes

[isthisreallife]

I been having a problem with seemingly random BSODs and crashes (ie where the computer forcibly restarts without generating a dump file). I think the crashes happens more frequently when surfing the Internet, especially while watching Youtube videos, but that might be a wrongful perception on my part.

The motherboard is a Asus P7P55D, the hard drive is OCZ SSD Agility 3 120GB. I think the rest of the system info s included in the zip-file.

Welcome
Your reports give different causes for your problem. You had quite a few BSODS, which may indicate hardware problem. Lets start with the most common, memory.

Your ASUS corp driver (ASACPI) is very old and a common cause of BSOD, update it.

Thanks. I'll try updating the driver. Update: Now I have version from 2009 instead of 2005. Fingers crossed...

As for the memory, it have passed 7 passes of Memtest with no errors.

Then take each stick and test for 6 passes separately.

 

[isthisreallife]

Done. In all slots. No errors.

 

[richc46]

And you tested with all the ram installed for 8 passes?

 

[isthisreallife]

Almost. Did 7 passes. No errors.

 

[richc46]

OK, maybe the driver update worked. If you get another BSOD, submit it to me so I can compare it to the others.

 

[isthisreallife]

Will do. Thanks for all the help!

 

[richc46]

You can count on me to do all that I can. Wish you luck. I know that these BSODs are a pain, but we will solve this.

 

[isthisreallife]

BSODs still persist, although I think they've changed a bit in tone. New dumps are attached. No changes to hardware.

Sorry for the delay in posting, btw.

Looks like a potential driver

Driver Verifier
I'd suggest that you first backup your data and then make sure you've got access to another computer so you can contact us if problems arise. Then make a System Restore point (so you can restore the system using the Vista/Windows 7 Startup Repair feature).

In Windows 7 you can make a Startup Repair disk by going to Start....All Programs...Maintenance...Create a System Repair Disc - with Windows Vista you'll have to use your installation disk or the "Repair your computer" option at the top of the Safe Mode menu .

Then, here's the procedure:
- Go to Start and type in "verifier" (without the quotes) and press Enter
- Select "Create custom settings (for code developers)" and click "Next"
- Select "Select individual settings from a full list" and click "Next"
- Select everything EXCEPT FOR "Low Resource Simulation" and click "Next"
- Select "Select driver names from a list" and click "Next"
Then select all drivers NOT provided by Microsoft and click "Next"
- Select "Finish" on the next page.

Reboot the system and wait for it to crash to the Blue Screen. Continue to use your system normally, and if you know what causes the crash, do that repeatedly. The objective here is to get the system to crash because Driver Verifier is stressing the drivers out. If it doesn't crash for you, then let it run for at least 36 hours of continuous operation (an estimate on my part).

If you can't get into Windows because it crashes too soon, try it in Safe Mode.
If you can't get into Safe Mode, try using System Restore from your installation DVD to set the system back to the previous restore point that you created.

Ok, I'll try that. Thanks again for your help.

 

[isthisreallife]

Tried that. Didn't get into Windows. Got the attached dump file.

Driver verifier has caused two drivers to be mentioned
The most likely is Daemon as mentioned above, if that does not work try to update Gera
