Solved Seemingly Random/Flash Related BSOD - 0x0000000a

[hunte922]

0x0000000a (0x0000000000000000, 0x0000000000000002, 0x0000000000000001, 0xfffff800026e250f)

I am getting constant BlueScreens. It might be related to the Flash Player - if I have it running (such as playing a YouTube video) and try to open any new page in another window, the computer freezes for a fifth of a second before returning to normal.
I do not know where to start debugging. I've already tried disabling hardware acceleration, but that doesn't work.
If it isn't flash related - I am still unable to find any culprit.

The BlueScreens started a month ago, and are progressively getting worse.
If you have any questions, I will answer them whenever I can.

Hello hunte922.

Update Etron USB 3.0 Extensible Host Controller drivers. Install the version 1.0.0.0115 dated 2012/09/20 from GIGABYTE - Motherboard - Socket 1155 - GA-Z68X-UD3H-B3 (rev. 1.0) (Under Support and Download > Drivers > USB 3.0)

Disable Hardware Acceleration. Open a video in YouTube. When it is started, right click on the screen and choose "settings"


In the resulting window, uncheck the option for hardware acceleration, and then close the window.

IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL (a)
An attempt was made to access a pageable (or completely invalid) address at an
interrupt request level (IRQL) that is too high.  This is usually
caused by drivers using improper addresses.
If a kernel debugger is available get the stack backtrace.
Arguments:
Arg1: 0000000000000000, memory referenced
Arg2: 0000000000000002, IRQL
Arg3: 0000000000000001, bitfield :
    bit 0 : value 0 = read operation, 1 = write operation
    bit 3 : value 0 = not an execute operation, 1 = execute operation (only on chips which support this level of status)

Updated the drivers and applied the settings. If I still have problems I'll post so; if not, after one whole week, I'll be sure to mark this thread as solved.

Thanks!

 

[hunte922]

Stuttering is still happening. I should BlueScreen any time now.

 

[hunte922]

I BlueScreened with the same code (0x0000000a) while running a memory check before booting. After that, Windows would not start without getting the same message. 2 faulty RAM modules were located and removed. After that, I had to use System Restore because one of my drivers had corrupted (it was causing BlueScreens on login). I'll check back in if the problems persist.

 

[Arc]

If you have identified the faulty RAM stick successfully, it is a good job

Let us know how the computer works after removing it

 

[hunte922]

The RAM modules were all replaced with Corsair Vengeance Pro. Everything's working fine now.

Good news
