Random BSODs at odd intervals

[LUCARiO]

Hi,
So my PC was working fine before I went away for 4 days, I come back and now it is BSODing sometimes every half an hour, sometimes only twice a day. I can't seem to notice a pattern with the dump files anywhere and don't know what is causing it.

I should mention that recently I got a new case, Cooler and extension cables.

I should mention that when I removed the old cooler on my AMD PhenomII 965 that the CPU came right out of the socket with the cooler as it was stuck down. I don't want that to be a bias because I'm hoping that the cause of the BSOD could be something else so I don't have to essentially buy a new computer.

Any help is appreciated, and I've attached the Seven Forums zip file

AVG was the apparent cause of some of the crashes. Try updating your network adapter drivers: Realtek

Rt64win7.sys         Mon Mar 22 05:57:14 2010 (4BA73EFA)

Also, run the three Prime95 tests: http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/100352-hardware-stress-test-prime95.html

[LUCARiO]

Thanks for the reply Jonathon.

I tried getting windows to update the drivers for the Realtek network adapters and it says that I have the latest drivers.
If AVG is the problem would you suggest uninstalling and reinstalling the program?

 

[Jonathan_King]

Download the Realtek drivers directly from the link I posted and then run the EXE. I'm guessing you tried to use Device Manager to update the drivers?

AVG isn't really known to cause BSODs, but an uninstallation/reinstallation wouldn't hurt. If nothing else, it will ensure you're running the latest version.

 

[LUCARiO]

Alright so I downloaded and ran the installer for the drivers and it told me that it was the current drivers, but I repaired them anyway. I'm about uninstall and reinstall AVG soon.

I'm actually getting an SSD today so I'm probably going to end up starting off clean with Windows 7 so hopefully things like AVG and these drivers shouldn't be much of an issue. Do you think it could be hardware related to the CPU though?

 

[Jonathan_King]

It could be, unfortunately. If the BSODs persist after the clean install, go ahead and run the Prime95 tests to check.

 

[LUCARiO]

I had another though which was that I ran a memtest which returned this result

Any ideas what it means?

 

[Jonathan_King]

It means RAM is a very likely cause for at least some of your BSODs. Try replacing your RAM, see if that helps anything.

 

[karlsnooks]

Lucario,
AVG has been known to cause problems.
On your new system, I strongly recommend using Microsoft Security Essential, MSE.
Link for MSE is in my signature.

MSE is the one and the only security software that I use, that I recommend and that I install.

 

[Jonathan_King]

Karl - the later versions (post-2009) of AVG are not known to cause BSODs anymore. If AVG is showing as the probable cause of a BSOD, it is far more likely the network adapter drivers are the real cause. In this case, it looks like the cause is a combination of bad RAM and old network adapter drivers.

Jonathan,

Thanks. I must have had the misfortune of running across several people with old versions of AVG.

Karl

 

[Jonathan_King]

Check the timestamps on the AVG drivers, as well as the network adapter drivers. Not to say you won't ever run across an installation that's acting up with something, but certainly rarely enough we can't go around indiscriminately recommending removals.

 

[LUCARiO]

Why would it be showing as AVG but then be the network drivers? Well I've uninstalled AVG and installed MSE, mainly because AVG was becoming a nuisance anyway. I updated the drivers like you said and after that I was still having problems. I'll wait and see if I still have BSOD without it, but then I'm thinking I need to test which part of my PC is faulty. I'm tossing up whether I should do a rebuild or not, but if I do then I was going to skip out on the RAM and GPU because I though it was a CPU problem, but now it might not be. Could you get any conclusive evidence from that memtest result?

 

[karlsnooks]

Lucario,

how many memory sticks are in your compuer?

If more than one, then remove all except for one of them.

Now your system will run slower, that is true, but are you getting any bsods?

Also, practical advise: Memory tests can increase your CPU temps.

High temps cause more problems.

boils down to I suggest directing a fan at the computer to keep temps down while testing.

Now another piece of practical advise, and I know others will disagee, but practically speaking after 4 passes and no error showing up you are fine.

=========================================================

There are many factors which contribute to a BSOD. Frequently, the BSOD itself is a secondary result of other factors.

When one is lucky, the BSOD dumps will nail the culprit. This is not always the case.

To give me a feel of your system, and all others, who pass by and don't want to dig thru the uploaded .ZIP file, would you please fill out your system specs:

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:
Manufacturer and Model and
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.

You will find that in Speccy, you can select info from the display
using your mouse/touchpad and then paste that info into your specs.

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

 

[Jonathan_King]

I'd recommend replacing the RAM on the basis of that memory test. Memtest86 showed one error, and I'm not sure if I can remember it ever misfiring.

 

[karlsnooks]

the program doesn't hiccup, but rams do.

 

[Jonathan_King]

the program doesn't hiccup, but rams do.

Yes - hence BSODs.

 

[LUCARiO]

Because I'm lazy for the time being, I'll paste a snapshot summary of my system from speccy.

I have 4 sticks, each is 2GB each I believe.
I will try reseating the RAM if necessary, however, as odd as it seems, now that I have AVG uninstalled I haven't had a BSOD. However I will give it until the end of the day, and I think I might be able to pick up the SSD today as well. All these things considered I will see if I need to replace parts.

The weirdest thing I saw about that memtest result was that usually when I have run it with dodgy RAM it has shown a slew of bad sectors, though this time it didn't make much sense with the error.
I had trouble with RAM before to do with the clock timings that the Motherboard had set them to, but I had since changed them and thought they were ok. I will look into it more though, and see if I need to do anything else.
I'll leave the post unsolved for the meantime, but let you guys know how I do. Thanks so much for the help

Lucario,
do us all a favor and make it possible for any one looking at the thread at any point in time to be able to view your specs by putting them into your System Specs as specified in the procedure.

I'll await your completed System Specs before proceeding.
thanks,
karl

Ok, so I've gone and added the details! Now I'm installing Win7 on the new SSD and getting odd BSOD now.

STOP: 0c0000007E (0xFFFFFFFFC0000420, 0xFFFFF880012AB7BE, 0xFFFFF880009A8A58, 0xFFFFF880009A8180)

Any ideas on this one?!
