Random BSODs

[ign]

I have an MSI CR620. I had this laptop for about 3 months. Ever since I got it, I've been experiencing BSOD problems. I get BSODs reaaaaaaally often. Usually about 6-10 everyday. Sometimes less, sometimes more. Usually happens when I'm playing videos, listening to music, playing games (well I only played the first Sims on this laptop and for about 5 minutes haha) or surfing the Internet. Sometimes when I'm not doing anything. Most of these bluescreens are 0x7f ones.

Another thing. Today I switched the minidump whatever thingy from kernel memory dump to small memory dump. And since I did that whenever a blue screen happens, I can't see the blue screen. The screen doesn't turn blue, but my computer says that there was a bluescreen. I don't know how to explain it

I have reinstalled Windows (twice) also I ran memtest yesterday for a few hours (about 5 passes, no errors). I don't know if this is a driver problem or something with hardware...

I've attached the folder with my files from minidump folder. There are many files in that, so just check the most recent few.

Sorry for my lack of knowledge about computers and I hope you understand what I've written there


Thanks

Only crash dumps are not enough to debug a stop 0x7F. Post it following the Blue Screen of Death (BSOD) Posting Instructions.

Whooops! Sorry about that. Clicked the wrong thingy...

Here.. I attached the right file to this post....

 

[ign]

Hmmm is anybody going to check it out?

Please understand that people have other engagements too.

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.

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.

Free up the startup. Windows does not need any other program to auto start with it, but the auto start programs often conflicts and causes various problems including BSODs.

1. Click on the Start button
2. Type “msconfig (without quotes), click the resulting link. It will open the System Configuration window.
3. Select the “Startup” tab.
4. Deselect all items other than the antivirus and the touchpad driver SynTPEnh.
5. Apply > OK
6. Accept then restart.

Are you overclocking? As you are getting BSODs, you should stop overclocking and run all the hardware components like CPU, GPU and RAM to their default settings. Also set the BIOS to default, too.
How To Clear CMOS (Reset BIOS)


Uninstall Avira using Avira AntiVir Removal Tool. Use Microsoft Security Essentials as your antivirus with windows inbuilt firewall, and free MBAM as the on demand scanner.
Download, install and update those, and then run full system scans with both of them, one by one.

UNEXPECTED_KERNEL_MODE_TRAP (7f)
This means a trap occurred in kernel mode, and it's a trap of a kind
that the kernel isn't allowed to have/catch (bound trap) or that
is always instant death (double fault).  The first number in the
bugcheck params is the number of the trap (8 = double fault, etc)
Consult an Intel x86 family manual to learn more about what these
traps are. Here is a *portion* of those codes:
If kv shows a taskGate
        use .tss on the part before the colon, then kv.
Else if kv shows a trapframe
        use .trap on that value
Else
        .trap on the appropriate frame will show where the trap was taken
        (on x86, this will be the ebp that goes with the procedure KiTrap)
Endif
kb will then show the corrected stack.

Thanks for replying. I'll try doing what you suggested as soon as I can.

 

[ign]

I'll try running memtest overnight, but I doubt BSODs are caused because of memory, because the RAM thingies (not sure what exactly was replaced tough..) were replaced a week ago, my brother just told me that.

Got rid of the rapid storage thing.

Only 3 things running in the startup: antivirus, mouse and the operating system. Or should I disable that too?

Not overclocking. Just set BIOS to default.

I'll try getting rid of Avira again. I uninstalled it last week, then installed MSE and problem was still there. I connected a camera which turns out had some virus files from other computer. MSE didn't find anything so I got rid of it and installed Avira again.

Well.. The problem is still here... Do you have any other suggestions?

 

[Arc]

If there are more BSODs, upload another SF Diag Tool output.

 

[ign]

Sure, I'll attach a file to this post.

By the way, ran memtest for 8 hours. Passed 11, no errors.

Update the Intel HD Graphics Driver, either from our forum link, http://www.sevenforums.com/graphic-...-graphics-driver-windows-7-a.html#post2166304, or You may get it from Intel Download Center.
Moreover, you may run the Intel (R) Driver Update Utility to auto detect the appropriate driver for your computer.


Let us know the results.

I uninstalled Avira yesterday just before turning my computer off and running memtest. And it seems like that tool is for removing threats or something, not for removing Avira itself. Or am I misunderstanding something? By the way I got MSE and installed it. I'll try installing Malwarebytes too. Going to run a scan with one of the programs you mentioned.
Hmm.. Since I share this computer with my brother, he said he uninstalled the newer Intel HD Graphics driver and got one from here. I have no idea why he did that. Getting the new one again..

 

[ign]

Ran some scans, everything seems fine. MSE, MBAM and Firewall are now my virus fighters. Graphics driver updated. And I haven't gotten a blue screen since yesterday. So maybe it's fixed?

 

[ign]

Uh I'll go cry now..

 

[Arc]

Your crash dumps are not showing any finite probable cause.

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.

In memtest comes clean, 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. Post it following the Blue Screen of Death (BSOD) Posting Instructions.

 

[ign]

Few most recent dump files should show something.

 

[Arc]

You were suggested to enable DV. See my earlier post.

 

[ign]

I did enable it. I got a blue screen, then disabled verifier. But then I enabled it again today in the morning. Got another blue screen. So check the most recent two crash dump files from my last post.

 

[Arc]

I checked 5 latest (of today and yesterday) crash dumps. None of them is DV enabled.

After enabling DV run verifier /query command in a command prompt to ensure what DV is actually doing there.

 

[ign]

Really? Hm.. I'll try again I guess..

 

[ign]

I enabled verifier, got a blue screen. The blue screen showed up and it freezed. Collecting data for crash dump and initializing disk for crash dump things were not loading..
