Hey guys,
My PC (the one in the specs) is getting regular BSODs, the error codes haven't really been any use as they're all saying different things. I've tried the following things to try and fix the problem:
  • Reinstall Windows 7
  • Remove the graphics card, made no difference
  • Ran CHKDSK, came back with no errors or bad sectors
  • Ran Memtest for about 12 hours, 7 passes, no errors
  • Changed the power supply from an Optigen 500w to the one in the specs, reduced the BSODs by about one a day
  • Ran motherboard and CPU diagnostics with Hot CPU Tester Pro, no errors

I think its something to do with the motherboard, but I don't want to have to strip it out only to find that it wasn't the source of the problem. It seems to be encouraged when Chrome is open.

Any ideas on what might be happening?
I will try and provide more information if anybody needs it.

Thanks for looking.

Tom

First off, sorry for putting this in the wrong section, i dint spot it while looking for the closest match to my problem. And thanks Brink for putting it in the right one and linking the diagnostics ting to get some more info on the problem.

I have included the .zip file requested, so I hope it helps.
Thanks in a advance.

I see you have CCleaner installed, please refrain from using the software as it deletes the minidump files.
Code:
Start Menu\Programs\CCleaner
Please manually check in the minidump folder for any dump files, if there dumps present
please copy them to the desktop, zip and upload.

I would like to ask you to free up some space in the C:\ partition.
Code:
Drive    C:
Size    60.01 GB (64,436,039,680 bytes)
Free Space    13.73 GB (14,744,190,976 bytes)

For the time being, seeing how diverse the bug check codes are I suggest you follow the procedure
detailed in the quote below.

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.

First run it with all the existing/installed RAM modules. If it comes with no error, all is good.

But if it starts showing errors, Stop testing. Errors/red lines means one or more RAM is faulty. But the fault may occur due to a faulty DIMM slot, too, which is a motherboard component. Using memtest86+, you can discriminate between a faulty RAM and a faulty motherboard.

How? Say you have two RAM sticks and two DIMM slots. You obtained errors at the test with all RAM sticks installed. Now, remove all the sticks but one. Test it in all the available slots, one by one. Continue the same procedure for all the available sticks.
How to make the inference that is it a RAM issue or it is a motherboard issue? Suppose you have got the result like that:
test|Slot1|Slot2
RAM1| Error | Error
RAM2|Good|Good
It is a RAM, a bad RAM.

But if you have got a result like that:
test|Slot1|Slot2
RAM1| Error |Good
RAM2| Error |Good
It is a motherboard issue. The particular slot is bad.

If memtest comes free from errors, 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


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

As the quote states, Let us know the results :) .

Thanks for you're quick reply, I've read what you've put and have extended the C: drive by around 100GB, I've uninstalled CCleaner to make sure it doesn't remove anything that may be of use, I've already run a memtest, as i said in my first post, which came back with 7 passes and no errors. I will report back on the driver verification results following the next crash. I'll also run SF diagnosics tool again and upload those results once the driver verification task has run.

Thanks again for your help.

Right, OK I tried the Driver Verification, however whenever I try to start the system it gets a BSOD, just after the logo has disappeared. I've included the updated SF diagnostics tool results that were done after trying Driver Verification for anybody to see if they can find a problem.

Thanks.

I just found some old minidump files from previous crashes, so I've zipped them and attached them so any of you can look for reoccuring trends or whatever.

Hello :).
Having Driver Verifier enabled dump would have been easier to track down the offending drivers
but as of new it looks to be mostly USB and Network driver faults.

Can you shed some light as to what these USB receivers are?

The 0x046D equals logitech so I can assume those are used for a wireless mouse and keyboard,
can you specify what model(s)?


:ar:Please use this auto-detection tool to update your A55 chipset (and any other drivers it may suggest).



:ar:Please update to the latest 13.9 Radeon drivers.

Uninstall Catalyst Control Center using | AMD Catalyst Un-install Utility

I see you're using a USB WLAN (wireless) adapter, but for some reason your Ethernet driver is also
getting loaded, are you using both at times?

Please update both drivers:

First off, I can't identify each individually, but when I had it there were two USB devices, Logitech EX100 USB receiver and a wifi stick. Other times, there's another Microsoft Keyboard and mouse 800 receiver, MS webcam, phone dock, and a Seagate HDD.
The Catalyst Unistaller asked for credentials i didn't have, so I used Revo Unistaller but there was no AMD software to unistall.
I ran the driver uninstaller which did its stuff.
No the ethernet is never used, always using a wifi USB stick.
Finally, could clarify which driver you want me to install for the ethernet and wifi usb?

Thanks
Tom

Edit:
I think I found the Realtek drivers you we're talking about,the main problem is that I can't download them as the download speed slowly grinds to a halt, no matter what mirror I use. Also, the wifi stick isn't by Realtek, its by a company called Add-on, and the drivers for that came on a CD. BTW, the product name is the ADD-NWU271 802.11n Wireless USB Adapter.

Thanks for the info I'll keep it in mind :) .

I ran the driver uninstaller which did its stuff.
I take it that the driver remained intact?

No the ethernet is never used, always using a wifi USB stick.
If this is the case, disable the adapter via the network center.

:orb: Srat > type > network connections then press enter > Find the adapter Right-click > Disable.

OK leave the Ethernet driver for now worst case scenario we'll find a different link.
Yes I am aware that the wireless adapter isn't assembled by Realtek but the driver being used is
which is the important part. If you are unsure about it's validity please upload a picture of its FCC-ID
on the back of the device.

As far as I could tell, it did successfully remove the driver, which I then reinstalled making sure not to also install the other software.
I shall disable the ethernet then.
As far as the drivers go, I looked on the ADD-on website to see if they have updated their drivers, which they hadn't. However there was a driver for Windows 8 by Realtek, so I uninstalled original driver and installed the new one by Realtek, and so far it seems to have worked. When I tried the Driver Verification, the PC didn't crash as it used to so now I'm just running it to see if/when it crashes.

So far, all seems fixed. I left it on for 24 hours and no BSODs whatsoever, and none when using it normally. So a massive thanks to you, YoYo! Seems odd that such a small thing could be such a big annoyance, but I;m not complaining that its seems to be fixed now.

Thanks again!!
