Solved Random computer freezes and BSOD reports

[Rainbow Road]

Hello all,

I have been having a lot of computer freezes, where the computer will just lock up without a BSOD a good 10 times in the last week or so and I haven't been able to find the culprit of this.
I have tried to do a chkdsk on all my drives, CPU and RAM tests, but they all come clean. I do think it is one of my HDD's, since I see a lot of "device\harddisk0\dr0 has a bad block" in the event log, but I haven't been able to find out which HDD this is.
Could anyone please have a look at the logs and perhaps hint to a solution?
Thanks in advance...

Welcome

What antivirus are you using? I see none.

 

[Rainbow Road]

None, but I did a quick check with Microsoft Security Essentials a few days ago.

You need to update to the latest drivers of theRealtek RTL8168D/8111D Family PCI-E Gigabit Ethernet NIC (first uninstall older from control panel)

The drivers for your SiI 3x12 SATALink Controller Driver are way too old. An update on the drivers is a must. If you do not use it, I'd suggest to completely uninstall the tool and/or its drivers.

Keep us posted

 

[Rainbow Road]

Thanks a lot for your lengthy reply. I have done the following:
- Updated Realtek NIC drivers from their site directly. MSI doesn't update them on their site apparently.
- Removed Connectify, Appliand media catcher, and sptd.sys. I do not have DTools, but I think MagicDisc uses this...
- The last driver you mentioned (SI3112.sys) however has no update since 2010.

I will see what happens for a few days and will report back on what goes on.

 

[koolkat77]

Thanks for the update. Keep magic disc off your system while observing please.

 

[Rainbow Road]

I haven't had any crash since my last post. I guess it was one of the applications causing the issues.
Could anyone suggest an image mounting tool though? I was very fond of MagicDisc

 

[Arc]

Rainbow, all the image mounting tools are risky as it specifies a device that does not exist, and leaves a chance of crashes.

Free 7-Zip can extract all iso images. So it will serve the purpose, but differently.

 

[Rainbow Road]

That's too bad. Thanks for the head up anyway. I will mark this thread as "solved" on Monday when a lot fo recording is going in with DVBViewer. This is usually when the freezing happens.
