Random BSOD while computer IDLE and Gaming

[vehement]

Hi,

I have gone through the process of trying to figure out my BSOD problems. I ended up reinstalling Windows 7. After installing the latest drivers for everything I thought I had the problem solved.. not so much. The problems are still plaguing me, so I find myself here.

Here is my uploaded BSOD info using the Diagnostic tool provided in the sticky.

Thanks in advance!

Welcome,

The dump does not give a definitive cause for a BSOD.

First get rid of AVG and replace with MSE from here: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows/products/security-essentials

See how long your computer is stable with MSE installed. If it still crashes, post the dumps again.

Then we'll try Driver verifier to rule out buggy drivers by following steps mentioned in the tutorial below.

Post back.

Ok I have uninstalled AVG and installed MSE.

I will await and see if anymore BSOD and proceed as recommended.

 

[koolkat77]

Thanks.

Keep us posted.

I am still crashing.. So I have followed the steps in the tutorial using Driver Verifier.

I noticed a crash while I had Origin, a program, downloading Battlefield 3.

I also received another crash while using Camtasia Video recorder/editor.

Here is the new upload.

You missed including the upload.

Strange... I thought it was uploaded. Here it is again.

vehement,
I'll not have time to study the zip file for a few hours.

Let's hope that KoolKat or someone else has time to analyze.

We are all volunteers with very full lives and shirk other responsibilities to pursue this weird self-torture.

Karl,

I appreciate the all the help I can get! I understand and it's great to have people willing to help.

Thanks again

Your BSOD still do not have a definitive cause

So it looks like it's a CPU problem then? I'm still under my 1 year warranty from iBuypower.. I could RMA my CPU. Do you think that is worthwhile?

 

[koolkat77]

Hi.

90% of 0x101 are CPU or other hardware like mobo. Jcgriff2.

Before RMA, lets stress the hardware with Prime95

vehement,
Took a quick look at your zip file and then needed to gather some info from your system specs.

Lo and Behold! No System Specs!

Help me, and the others: follow these instructions. I do have a strong preference for using SPECCY for this task.

Update your SevenForums System Specs
User CP (located on the top menu bar) |
Your Profile | Edit System Spec (left-hand column)

To gather info, use Speccy (my favorite) or SIW or System Info

In the System Manufacturer Block, enter:
Ø Manufacturer and Model OR Custom build.
Ø ADD the word laptop, desktop, netbook or tablet.
For example:
Toshiba Satellite L305D notebook.

Provide full windows version info, for example:
MS Windows 7 Ultimate SP1 64-bit

Use the “Other Info” block for Optical Reader,
Mouse, touchpad, wifi adapter, speakers, monitor, etc

Scroll down and click on SAVE CHANGES.

With Speccy, you can select with your mouse/touchpad info from the display
and paste that info into your specs.

SIW is a marvelous program, but the free version does not offer
this capability.

So it's looking like a potential CPU problem then?

Should I RMA my CPU for a new one? Is that a worthwhile step?

 

[koolkat77]

Yes, but did you do the hardware stress?
What were the results? bsods?

My computer just froze and didn't restart while posting this. No BSOD just a frozen screen.

 

[vehement]

Sorry for the double post. I didn't think it posted. I will do the stress test now.

 

[karlsnooks]

The stress test will simply help to rule out one possible source of your problem. No one is saying that you should rma the cpu.

missing the system specs.

I posted my system specs in my profile.
