Random BSODs

[Arc]

Restart manually and then execute the SF diag tool again. Let us see if the dump got recorded or not.

 

[ign]

I don't know if few most recent dump files show anything, but verifier was enabled when it crashed...

 

[Arc]

There are six new BSODs, and all them are 0x7F (not DV enabled, obviously. If DV is enabled, the Default bucket ID shows it.)

According to Carrona.org, STOP 0x0000007F: UNEXPECTED_KERNEL_MODE_TRAP
Usual causes: Memory corruption, Hardware (memory in particular), Overclocking failure, Installing a faulty or mismatched hardware (especially memory) or a failure after installing it, 3rd party firewall, Device drivers, SCSI/network/BIOS updates needed, Improperly seated cards, Incompatible storage devices, Overclocking, Virus scanner, Backup tool, Bad motherboard, Missing Service Pack

Here, for your case, the service pack is not missing. And your virus scanners are MSE and MBAM, which are not the issues. No third party firewall is not visible apparently. No SCSI in use. Network (Atheros and realtek) are up to date.

So check for the rest.

1. If possible, disable the Virtual WiFi adapter.
2. If the 4 GB is more than one module, make it sure the FSBs are matching.
3. 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.
4. As you are getting BSODs, you should stop overclocking (if it is present there) 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)
5. Do some Disc checks.
   • Run chkdsk /f/r, following the option two of the tutorial Disk Check
   • Seatool for dos: SeaTools | Seagate download
   • Burn it in a blank cd. boot from the CD, click on "Accept", wait for it to finish detecting the drives, then in the upper left corner select "Basic Tests", then select "Long Test" and let it run.
6. If you have any BsckUp tool, Uninstall it.
7. If all of them works good, you should contract the vendor, as your's an OEM license which is tagged with the motherboard.

Verifier was enabled, I don't know why it won't show it...
I disabled the virtual wi-fi adapter. Going to run a chkdsk disk check now. I'll try with SeaTools later.

 

[ign]

I ran chksdsk. It seems like everything was fine. Couldn't find a CD and I was to lazy to go to a shop, so I haven't run the seatools test. Yet.
Oh and another thing.. I tried running verifier again.. Can you take a look at the last few dump files? Do they say anything?

 

[Arc]

There are three verifier enabled dumps, and only one caught a problem, Intel(R) HD Graphics.

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.

Probably I have suggested it to you earlier. Drivers are not updated still.
Only crash dump analysis other than action will not lead to a solution at all.

Is the computer hot? Report us the heat of the computer after a couple of hours of your normal usage. Upload a screenshot of the summery tab of Speccy.

 

[Northernsoul55]

Just a suggestion, you could at least shake off that laziness and buy a CD in order to eliminate
the HDD as an issue, after Arc's hard work in analysing your issues

Perhaps re-reading through the thread and checking you have indeed followed the fixes and
installed the drivers suggested may help in fixing your issue.

cheers

Is that the original factory preinstalled Win7 that's so corrupt no tech enthusiast would run it? If so I'd take the time now to get a perfect Clean Reinstall - Factory OEM Windows 7 without the corrupting bloatware and duplicate utilities that have better versions built into Win7.

A Factory Preinstall is the worst possible install of Win7 you can have.

The Clean Reinstall using our tools and methods is the best possible install of Win7 you can have, better than 90% of installs out there.

You choose.

 

[bobafetthotmail]

Yeah, this stuff does smell of corrupted installation media to me too. The only thing you need is the sticker, follow tutorial posted by gregrocker.

 

[ICIT2LOL]

Yes well laziness aside seems like you are impatient one minute slack the next so I would go with Greg but try a run with this.

download from bleeping computer

if I missed it a sfc would be handy http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/1538-sfc-scannow-command-system-file-checker.html

 

[ign]

Thanks for all the suggestions guys. I'll try to run some tests, running sfc right now. Got a CD, will burn SeaTools as soon as possible. Also updating the graphics driver. Screenshot coming up too. If nothing helps then I'll try a clean install of the OS. Well I'll just try everything you suggested. If that doesn't help I'll probably throw this computer out the window

 

[ICIT2LOL]

Wouldn't it be just as easy to use the Seatools from Downloads?? I do as the the versions do change from time to time

 

[ign]

Sooooo I ran SeaTools tests, both long and short, no problems were found. Also ran sfc, some problems were found and fixed, but some were not fixed. It said this:

Oh and I was trying to update my graphics driver.The update utility gave me the same driver. I saw the thread on the forum with these drivers, but there were only drivers for 3rd and 2nd generation processors and mine is 1st generation I think. So I decided to update it with DriverScanner.

Anyways, here's a screenshot from Speecy:

CPU temperature most of the time is from 40C to 60C, hard drive is about 40C-45C most of the time. It's probably sightly too hot. Or is it normal?

Oh and another thing. Desktop gadgets and window manager crash randomly pretty often. Also the battery is being weird. When I unplug and battery reaches 80% (today it was 90%), computer turns off without any warning, and when I turn it back on again the fan gets really loud and computer turns off after a few seconds, so I need to plug in.. Could this have anything to do with the blue screens?

Also, I checked some crash dumps myself with BlueScreenView and some were caused by SynTP.sys, which I believe should be my touchpad driver. I guess I should update it.. Also some were caused by graphics driver obviously. Also one was caused by ataport.SYS.. What is that? I googled it, it said it was a virus. Is this true? :shock: I ran TDSSKiller again, it didn't kill anything..

 

[Arc]

ataport.sys is the controller driver for ata channels under IDE ATA/ATAPI controllers. It is one of the most vulnerable driver for rootkit infections. And if it is is detected, the first step is to be taken is to scan the system for possible virus infection with the following programs.

• Anti-rootkit utility TDSSKiller
• Windows Defender Offline

Do those. Save the TDSSKiller log and upload it here.

If it is not a virus, it is the error of the controller itself. But the chance is minimum, as you use all the generic drivers.

If possible, opt for a BIOS update. No BIOS update is available in MSI Global ? Notebook & Tablet - CR620

The CPU temperature is critical. It may tend to high to cause failures. I would suggest you to either get it serviced so that the ventilations are cleared and thermal pastes are re-applied etc, or as a temporary solution use a cooling pad.

 

[gregrocker]

Run SFC again a few more times to see if it can repair the OS, but if not the next step is to run a Repair Install.

However if this is the original factory preinstalled Win7 then now is the time to get a perfect Clean Reinstall - Factory OEM Windows 7. I've already told you that is the worst possible install of Win7 one can have, so I don't know why you're continuiing to mess with it unless you prefer crap.

I won't have this computer for 2 days, soooo I'll post the log thing on Friday. Will run a scan with Windows Defender Offline. I don't have a cooling pad, but I use plastic bottle caps to keep an air gap there. I don't know if this helps, but still it's still probably better than nothing. I should really get it cleaned sometime soon.
I can't do the reinstall now, the earliest I can do it is in 2 weeks. Maybe if I'm lucky next week.
