Please Help! Multiple BSODs!

[jasari]

everyone totally ignores what i said then! er thanks for that!

I did not mean to ignore your post. However, all of the other posts had actions that were suggested for me to do, so I posted updates and questions on those actions.

To answer your question, I use my computer many times a day, and for at least a few hours every day. It stays on most days in sleep mode, however my crashes and issues can occur on a fresh boot. Hopefully it is not a hardware problem between the processor and board, however it is looking more and more like it is going to be a hardware issue. My system specs are in my profile, and I have updated to the latest
BIOS in my efforts to resolve these issues. Thank you for your input.

 

[totalguy]

here is his system spec. he like me runs his pc a lot of the day like i do

I just built a computer for a friend with the M4A785-M and he was getting an error on startup for surge protection. (Luckily no BSOD's though)

There is an option in the BIOS to enable/disable power surge protection. Can you enable it (or check to see if its enabled) and see if it gives you an error on startup? your board might be overloading or underpowered even though your PSU is fine, the mobo might be doing something funky.

Just something to check I am joining this conversation late, but all of you have an Asus board.

The only other similarity is that all of you also have ram running at 1333hz. So Memtest is a good idea as well. If it passes memtest, try running memtest on each individual stick. There might be a bad spot on one of the sticks that is not being seen.

Edit: for the 1333hz, is anyone able to change the frequency? underpower the ram or put in a diff speed ram?

 

[totalguy]

ive run the memtest on 5 passes each, i dont remember seeing anything about surging but ill have a look. i have run my ram on tighter timings and thats the speeds i run memtest with i havent tried frequency as i can only seem to set speciffic ones like 1333 800 etc

 

[totalguy]

just looked in the bios nothing at all for surge power maybe its an msi thing?

 

[jasari]

Here's another. I got one right before this that said "QUOTA_UNDERFLOW" however for some reason the dump did not save correctly.

Honestly, I don't know how to do this.

I don't either, I am not into changing electrical spec's and this would be something a guru in this forum would know. I was hoping someone would see it and advise.

ah dont worry i dont get dump files 90% of the time your lucky you get some lol

 

[jasari]

i suppose. i just had 3 in a row. lucky me. here are the dumps.

 

[totalguy]

i reckon its the board coz my friend had his board and had major probs so he sent back the processor and the board and they said board was at fault so they replaced the board and sent the cpu back to him. im going to get a new board when i got the money a gigabyte this time! lost my faith in asus

 

[jasari]

Maybe, but I built my pc in November, and didn't start getting blue screens until February, and they have become more and more frequent lately. Is this common for a hardware issue? Seems like that would show up immediately. I dont really know. Maybe I have a virus or something.

 

[YakSipper]

Jasari, your memory management problem is MpFilter.sys which is part of MSE. Completely uninstall that from your system to alleviate bsod.

Can't hurt to do a full system scan with Malewarebytes too.

 

[jasari]

Ok, cool. Do you think Symantec Endpoint security would be a good options for antivirus, and to use to do the scan with? I can get a full, legit version for free from my school is why i'm asking. Thanks.

 

[totalguy]

eset smart security would be my reccomendation. i last used symantec in 2003 its gone downhill.

eset slow scans your system constantly and has an early threat sense warning. it does not hog resources either.

 

[jasari]

yikes. why did yaksipper get banned? im running a system scan with malwarebytes'. hopefully he didnt get banned for recommending virused programs. ha.

i'll have to check out eset.

 

[Thorsen]

Malwarebytes is good. its a good program no worries. ESET is good too. Just make sure you have one running thats all. MSE is good as well.

I took the chicken way out and brought my pc in to a place. It looks like it is a compatibility issue between my video card and windows 7. This is weird though because my card is listed on Windows website as compatible. Don't know. I might call the manufacturer of the card and ask some questions.

 

[totalguy]

that might explain why my friend is still having problems with his as he has the same card as you do.

 

[totalguy]

he and i have recently done windows update, on monday it will be 2 weeks for me and so far i have not crashed. hopefully it will last. i told my friend the other day to do the same and he hasnt crashed since but he aint holding his breath yet.

wouldnt suprise me having problems with windows 7 before the first service pack
