Random BSODs

[kasotol]

Hello!

First, sorry for probably bad English. There has been random BSODs a very long time (probably first BSOD about year ago). There's a screenshot of BlueScreenView about last BlueScreens: View image: bluescreens

Memtest is done about 20 times, with no errors. Last few days there has been some problems when starting the computer, first time starting computer there appears BlueScreen or computer just restarts itself. Then, after restarting 2-5 times, computer keeps on running normally.

Some specs of my computer:
AMD Phenom(tm) II X6 1055T Processor (6 CPUs), ~2,8GHz
Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit
Gigabyte GeForce GTX 460
CORSAIR PSU 550W 12CM ATX V2.2

Temperatures should be ok, 39-58°C at the moment. Could the problem be in motherboard, GPU, power..? Please help. I have tried to get help many times, nobody can't tell how to fix this yet.

Hi kasotol.

Uninstall AVG following their guide: http://www.avg.com/us-en/utilities

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; as the installed antivirus never was able to complete the scans without a BSOD.

BTW, memtest should be counted based on passes, not on times. How many continuous passes you ran memtest86+? It is suggested to run memtest86+ for at lease 8 consecutive passes.

Thanks for helping. Do you mean that AVG cannot complete the scan without a BSOD? I think it can do that, when I start it manually.

It's been running 3 times (nights), with 6-8 passes for one night.

All the BSOD reports AVG as the program running in the background when the BSODs took place.

Again, 5 minutes ago, cold startup and BSOD!

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.

If it start showing errors/red lines, stop testing. A single error is enough to determine that something is going bad there.

Let us know the results.

But I've done this:

It's been running 3 times (nights), with 6-8 passes for one night.

At least in one night it did ran 8 passes, with no errors.

Anything else I can try? Of course I can run Memtest for one more night.

One think you may do, assuming some drivers are passing bad information to the memory.

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.

Did Memtest again, with 8 passes and no errors.

Enable Driver Verifier to monitor the drivers.

Driver Verifier is now enabled, the computer is now pretty slow & laggy.

 

[kasotol]

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

Driver Verifier ran 24 hours, and no BSODs.

What's next?

A memory corruption that is caused my neither failing memory nor any driver passing bad information to the memory??? Sounds illogical.

What was your activity during driver verifier on?

I have no idea. Today, again after cold startup I saw blue. It's here attached. Check it, please!

Later today I tried to "warm up" computer by opening first BIOS when starting up computer cold. I kept BIOS open about 20 minutes and then started up Windows and there was no BSODs. First time in many days when starting up computer cold... "Warming up" helps? But not solves..

What was your activity during driver verifier on?

Like usually. Of course I wasn't using the computer all 24 hours but I tried to open programs etc., when using computer.

This time it indicates to stop 0x7F.

A stop 0x7F may be caused by a wide range of reasons. One of them is outdated BIOS. And your BIOS is kinda old.

BiosVersion = 1601   
BiosReleaseDate = 09/08/2010

Can you try to update it to the latest, Version 2301 from ASUSTeK Computer Inc. -Support- Drivers and Download M4A88TD-V EVO/USB3 ?

Also make it sure that you are not overclocking any hardware components.

Let us know the result.

Good question. BIOS updates are critical. And not for one having no experience with it. Because any wrong step will convert the board to a brick only.

But it is required, you know.

Better you ask any computer tech (may be a professional) to do it for you.

How should I run the .ROM -file? I think I can do it, if i got some tips.

Btw, power wasn't the issue. BSODs coming with new one, too.

 

[kasotol]

Also make it sure that you are not overclocking any hardware components.

If everything is set for "Auto" in BIOS, is it OK?
