I also ran SF_Diagnostic_Tool.

Please help. It continues to show the blue screen and memory dump: It did happen a lot to my old AMD desktop computer. I also copied old files from the AMD to my new IBUYPOWER, wonder if that could've caused the problems.

The zip you uploaded does not contain any crash dump.

Follow it: http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/174459-dump-files-configure-windows-create-bsod.html
Go to Option Two, Point 2. Download the .reg file and merge it in registry by double clicking it.

Now wait for another BSOD. When it occurred, search the .dmp files manually in the default path: C:\Windows\Minidump or %SystemRoot%\Minidump. See if the crash dump is recorded or not (hopefully it will be recorded).Post it following the Blue Screen of Death (BSOD) Posting Instructions.

Dont run any disc cleanup tool before you upload another zip.

BTW, the bugchecks are stop 0x7E and 0xf4. Assuming those are storage related.

Get rid of intel rapid storage. First uninstall it from Control Panel > Programs and Features. Then Uninstall the driver from device manager.

1. Right click on "my computer" icon and click "manage" on the context menu.
2. It will open the "computer management" window.
3. Select "Device Manager" in the left pane, It will list all the existing devices up.
4. Expand "IDE ATA/ATAPI controllers" by clicking on the triangle in front of it.
5. Select one Intel device item under it, right click, uninstall.
6. Continue the process for all Intel items under "IDE ATA/ATAPI controllers"
7. Now restart the computer. At restart, windows will auto configure the appropriate native system driver.

Test your HDD using Data Lifeguard Diagnostic for Windows.

Also Test your RAM modules for possible errors.
How to Test and Diagnose RAM Issues with Memtest86+
Run memtest for at least 8 passes, preferably overnight.

If it start showing errors/red lines, stop testing. A single error is enough to determine that something is going bad there.

Let us know the results.

I've uninstalled Intel Rapid Storage and also about to run the tests. I'll contact back when the test Results are done.
Still waiting on the BSOD to happen as well! Very much thanks Arc for your response and information about my problems.

 

[BThRe3]

Okay! I've ran the RAM - Test with Memtest86+ Test and there were no red lines/errors, all green. I've ran Data Lifeguard Diagnostic for Windows. 3/4's of the way of running it stopped, and gave me the BSOD: Here's the MiniDump file:

----- ETW minidump data unavailable-----
Probably caused by : csrss.exe

The situation that you described + the crash dump makes it sense that the HDD is failing. Better you try to back your data up and replace the HDD.

 

[BThRe3]

It wouldn't make any sense that it would be the HDD tho. It was just bought.

 

[BThRe3]

I get the BSOD when I run Youtube/games/exiting browsers/running programs. I'm gonna run another test and see what happens.

Download this program, free trial and it will tell you instantly the health of your hard drive:

[BThRe3]

[Indianatone]

OK well your hard drive is A OK.
Run CheckDisk

1. Open the "Computer" window
2. Right-click on the drive in question
3. Select the "Tools" tab
4. In the Error-checking area, click <Check Now>.
5. Then run this in the link SFC.

How is the power supply? Is it man enough for the task or is it a no name brand pos?

 

[BThRe3]

Running tests soon: It's Thermaltake Smart Series: Smart 750W

OK good. Just wanted to make sure you did not have an issue with an underpowered PSU.

 

[BThRe3]

I ran the CheckDisk seemed to finish fine and shutdown the PC! So I've ran SFC /scannow, and it gave me (Windows Resource Protection did not find any integrity violations.) Wonder what the problem can be

 

[BThRe3]

I'm gonna run Memtest86 overnight and run at least 15 passes. Last time I ran it for one pass and no errors. Let's see what happens by Thanks Giving morning

 

[BThRe3]

I haven't had the BSOD in a few days now. My PC seems to be freezing up a bit much lately. I'm thinking my best bet would to just Format everything on my computer and start all over again. When I bought the computer it was 4/25/2013 Setup was 5/10/2013 ran fine up to 9/28/2013 that's when the problems started to accure. AVG messed up 4 days ago. tried to re-install it. Failed to install up to some Errors. We've tried to find a solution that would fix my problems: I've had to many Critical Errors about the Kernel-Power/Errors/Warnings. Thank you for your support and replies, Arc and Indianatone!

 

[Indianatone]

Sounds like Arc had the issue with the driver for hard drive. A clean fresh install would be great, take your time and update everything with Windows Updates. Use the motherboard driver disk for Ethernet driver if Windows does not find one. Don't install the driver ARC mentioned, if it gets on there remove it before it causes problems. Looks like your hardware is all good just have a corrupt Windows Installation. Good Luck and id you get any more problems we are all here to help.

 

[BThRe3]

Many thanks, Indianatone and Arc. Will do!
