Random BSODs, memory access violations and more

[estXcrew]

I did one about a month ago, about 1-2 weeks or so before I posted this thread I think. It came up with nothing after 8 passes.

I'm running it again soon if I can remember it, going to install it now and leave the usb stick on the desk to remind me.

 

[estXcrew]

12 passes, 14 hours, no errors

..

remembered to run it after a bsod yesterday night.

Memtest is clean, but still it is saying a memory corruption. In such a situation, it is better to enable Driver Verifier to monitor the drivers.
Driver Verifier - Enable and Disable
Run Driver Verifier for 24 hours or the occurrence of the next crash, whichever is earlier.

   Information

Why Driver Verifier:
It puts a stress on the drivers, ans so it makes the unstable drivers crash. Hopefully the driver that crashes is recorded in the memory dump.

How Can we know that DV is enabled:
It will make the system bit of slow, laggy.

   Warning

Before enabling DV, make it sure that you have earlier System restore points made in your computer. You can check it easily by using CCleaner looking at Tools > System Restore.

If there is no points, make a System Restore Point manually before enabling DV.

   Tip

• If you fail to get on the Desktop because of DV, Boot into Advanced Boot Options > Safe mode. Disable DV there. Now boot normally again, and try following the instruction of enabling DV again.
• If you cannot boot in Safe mode too, do a System Restore to a point you made earlier.

Let us know the results, with the subsequent crash dumps, if any.

This time Whocrashed gave the right analysis. It is Alcor Micro, Corp. USB Smart Card Reader.

Better you stop using the card reader. Disable it in Device Manager and see if it does any change there.

Disable Driver Verifier now, and see how it goes.

 

[estXcrew]

What card driver is that even? I dont have any external readers... I have one SD Card reader ("smart card reader") in one of my 3,5'' trays and that's all I have used.

Im going to look for updates for the driver and if none are available Im just removing it.

 

[Arc]

Possibly there is no available driver update. I search for it, but I could not manage any. May be you will have a better luck.

And it is that Smart Card reader that you are mentioning.

But wait, there's more!

The crash took place in a standard Microsoft module. Your system configuration may be incorrect. Possibly this problem is caused by another driver on your system that cannot be identified at this time.

these are just 3, occured at random. I have included 5 most recent BSODs in the ZIP file.

I just ignored them for a while.. but they have once again began to be more frequent and I'm doing much more creative work that can be lost every time a BSOD occurs.

Thank you!

Actually .... can you run memtest86+ once again with an older version like 4.20? There is still a high possibility of memory failure.

 

[estXcrew]

4.20, overnight. Nothing found.

i'm guessing more driver verifying is on the way?

 

[Arc]

OK, let DV have another go. Best of luck.

 

[estXcrew]

Verifier is running, and i booted right back into windows! So far good.

I also reinstalled all the motherboard drivers before enabling verifier. Maybe there was a corrupted driver, who knows.

Going to run it for the whole day today. We shall see how it goes.
