Semi-regular but random BSODs - possibly due to PCI-E version mismatch

For the past few months, my wife's computer has been experiencing BSODs in a semi-regular but random fashion...not necessarily triggered by anything concrete, but more or less guaranteed to happen eventually. The video card in the computer was replaced back in March (from a nVidia 9800 GT to a Radeon HD 6770), and it seems that the BSODs date back to that time. The interesting thing is that the motherboard has PCI-E v1, but the new card is a v2.1; I've heard that putting a 2.1 card in a v1 slot can cause issues (I didn't know at the time that it was a v1 slot otherwise we would have gotten a different card), and the old card is v2.0. It originally was running Vista, so we switched to Windows 7...it has been running better but still BSODs about as often.

Other things I've tried already:

- Updating drivers: the video card and motherboard chipset drivers are all up to date, didn't help much (though the one BSOD I got after the video driver update was of a different type)

- Updating motherboard BIOS: same thing

- CHKDSK with surface scan option: ran through the whole thing, came back with no disk errors

- Memtest86: when I tried this (using a ISO burned to CD) it ended up hanging. I'm going to try Memtest86+ in a bit, I will update here with that once that finishes.

- Taking it to a professional: I did take it to a local computer place (before we put Windows 7 on it), they ran a diagnostic and supposedly found no hardware problems, they recommended the Win7 thing.

The files attached are all after the Windows 7 update, the reason there aren't as many for the date span of them is that the computer has been powered off for the most part. :) Right now I suspect either it's the PCI-E mismatch, or something just really weird. Thanks in advance for all of your help!

You have a NETGEAR WNDA3100v2 N600 Wireless Dual Band USB Adapter. Win7 doesn't like these devices, and when coupled with older (Vista-era) drivers they'll spit out BSOD's at a rapid rate. Here's my rant about these devices (Also, we may be starting to see issues with these devices in Vista due to recent updates):
I do not recommend using wireless USB devices. Especially in Win7 systems.
These wireless USB devices have many issues with Win7 - and using Vista drivers with them is almost sure to cause a BSOD.
Should you want to keep using these devices, be sure to have Win7 drivers - DO NOT use Vista drivers!!!
An installable wireless PCI/PCIe card that's plugged into your motherboard is much more robust, reliable, and powerful.

Out of 5 memory dumps there were 4 different BSOD error codes (and 3 different causes blamed)
As such, this is most likely a hardware problem. They (hardware errors) are usually caused by one of these things:
- borked (broken) hardware (several different procedures used to isolate the problem device)
- overclocking - You'll know if you're overclocking or not. If uncertain we can suggest things to check.
- compatibility issues
- low-level driver problems
- or even malware (scanned for when we ask for hardware diagnostics from Initial Hardware Diagnostics or Hardware Diagnostics ).

If you still get BSOD's after fixing the above stuff (and running the antimalware scans) - then the issue is most likely a hardware problem. You can test the video card by trying it in another motherboard (expensive if you don't have a spare system to toy with) and you can test the motherboard by reinstalling the old video card (and removing the new video card's drivers).

If the above steps don't stop the BSOD's, please zip up and upload any new memory dumps with your next post - and we'll see what we can figure out from there.

Thanks for your response; I wasn't aware of the issues with wireless USB adapters. We'll definitely get a PCI card adapter and see how that works out.

Also thank you for the diagnostic links you sent over; I've already done the memory test (7 passes, picked up no errors), I did the hard drive test yesterday. The drive is a Hitachi but their test for some reason doesn't detect the drive (maybe because it's a SATA?), so I did the SeaTools one. I did both the short and long tests from there and it passed both. So i think we can rule out memory or hard drive issues at this point.

I haven't tried a malware scanner yet because we had just installed Windows 7 and reformatted the drive, and we've barely been online since. I will try one of them though just in case. We also have Microsoft Security Essentials on here too, would one of the scanners you mentioned pick up something that wouldn't?

At this point I think the best course of action is to get the PCI wireless adapter, and also maybe a PCI-E 2.0 video card, it seems like either a video card or motherboard thing at this point. I have been leaving the computer on in an idle state, so far it hasn't BSODed but I will try more strenuous usage later tonight (maybe a game of some type) and see what happens. I will also try some of the futher tests you mention; I will keep you posted.

Again, thanks. :)

It only takes one click to get infected.

I suggest the scanners because they give you an independent scan of your system. It's possible that the installed antivirus was corrupted or hijacked by malware - so an independent scan is more likely to detect something. While the chance isn't great, it's still possible.

Good luck!

I ran both the MSE virus scanner and one of the independent ones you mentioned, both reported no malicious items found. I also ran the Intel processor tester program mentioned on your site, which the processor passed.

I did however get another BSOD, this time on rebooting...it happened after I installed the latest driver for the onboard sound chip. I reset and rebooted again and it was okay. I'm attaching a new set of dump files which includes all the ones since Windows 7 was installed (including the newest one).

Again, thanks for all your help.

This one is a STOP 0x1E that blames the kernel of the OS. If it were the kernel you'd be seeing more problems other than the occasional BSOD's - so we've got to look elsewhere.

Although all the signs seem to point to hardware IMO, please run Driver Verifier according to these instructions: Driver Verifier Settings My hope here is that it'll pin the blame on a 3rd party driver. If it doesn't then we'll have to proceed with detailed hardware troubleshooting.

I will run the Driver Verifier tonight. One thing: is there any possibility that the video card being a PCI-E 2.1 card, but in a 1.0 slot, could also be causing the BSODs? I am about to order the wireless card and I may as well get a new video card while I'm at it if it needs it, but if this isn't this issue then I won't bother since it seems to be working fine otherwise.

Thanks,
Trent

Although I don't know the exact make and model of your video card (not the ATI video chipset, but the people who assembled the card), I'd suspect that if the 2.0 card worked just fine, then the 2.1 card should also work fine.

That being said, there's plenty of possibilities for issues with the 2.1 card itself even if you do leave out any possible incompatibilities. Most manufacturer's have a warranty on their cards - so why don't you see if you can return this one for another (to see if that one works).

It's an AMD Radeon HD 6770, I don't remember the exact make. I have heard a bunch of reports of PCI-E 2.1 cards causing issues in 1.0 slots though...and the issues did seem to start after we replaced the old card. I went ahead and ordered a new card, hopefully that will fix the issue.

In the meantime, it BSODed twice more, I had attempted to install a game to see what would happen. The second one just happened out of the blue I think. The logs are attached...maybe it is a kernel issue after all? It doesn't BSOD constantly but in relation to the uptime it kinda does...the only thing that definitely doesn't seem to ever crash it is just letting it sit idle. Usually. :p

Again, thanks,
Trent

My hardware skills come from work where I can replace a card to test whenever I need to. We rarely get into detailed analysis of problems such as this (the differences between v2.1 and v2.0 in v1.0 slots) - and we primarily deal with OEM systems that aren't very customized. I'd suggest posting over in the hardware forums for more expert advice: Hardware & Devices - Windows 7 Forums

The memory dumps seem to indicate a hardware issue. I don't see evidence of any 3rd party issues here, which makes hardware the next most likely problem.

I'd start with these free diagnostics (and would concentrate on the memory and video diagnostics to start): Hardware Diagnostics

Good luck!

We got the new card and PCI adapter and installed them last night...everything was going great for a while until it BSODed again, twice. It had also done it again once before, in between my last post and the installation of the new stuff. I'm attaching the logs as usual.

I did have a weird issue with installing the drivers for the new card (an EVGA GTX 550 Ti)...it kept giving me a "7zip: CRC" error. I looked this up and it seems to be associated with a number of things: corrupt file system, bad hard drive, bad memory. I eventually got it to install by running it a few times, but I do wonder if the drivers are corrupted. I may just do a complete reinstall of Windows and see if that helps...all the BSODing probably hasn't helped the file system integrity any. :p

Where did you get the drivers for the new card? Most often a 7zip error is a problem with the file itself.
Depending on how/what happened with the extraction and installation, it's possible that the driver installation further "borked" things.

No specific blame in the memory dumps, although they do seem to point towards video issues. This doesn't mean that it's necessarily the card (or even it's drivers). It's possible that a motherboard problem (could even be the slot that the card plugs into) could be causing this.

Please run Driver Verifier to see if it'll blame the video: Driver Verifier Settings

The first set of drivers I tried came from eVGA's website, I then also tried installing from the driver CD that came with it, and then finally from nVidia's website, all of these drivers had the same problem. It was the one from nvidia itself that ultimately worked. I doubt that all the files from all of these sources were corrupt, maybe it was an issue with Windows' decompression?

I will try the driver verifier tonight, hopefully that will show something.

Thanks,
Trent
