Started getting a BSOD with ntoskrnl.exe and now nvlddmkm.sys

[Flacracker]

Everything was fine with my computer until Tuesday when I got a random crash. What actually happened was I was watching a video and the sound just started to skip and the computer froze. No BSOD and I have to turn off my computer. So I get that kind of crash or a BSOD that sometimes doesn't create a dump file. I have been doing research on this for a while now and I have tried many things so far. I did a system restore that unfortunately erased my other crash dumps, which showed ntoskrnl.exe, so now I only have two. But the problem still exists. Today I have been getting nvlddmkm.sys included in the crashes so I updated my nvidia drivers from 320.18, that had actually caused me no trouble, but I still got the BSOD. I have been in safe mode almost all day running a virus scan that just turned up clean and I haven't crashed yet so I am convinced this is a software or driver issue as all my hardware is new except for the video card, unless that is failing but I haven't seen any artifacts or anything like that. Next thing I am going to do is run memtest but the built in windows one showed no problems.

So I have uploaded my zip folder there. Some of the crash dumps that I used to have showed Page fault in nonpaged area just to let you guys know. Thanks for the help.

If you want to run a better memory test take a look at the link below . Windows memory diagnostic test only runs 2 passes

:ar: http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/105647-ram-test-memtest86.html

 

[Flacracker]

I ran 1 pass before I had to do something online. It came back clean. Going to run some more passes now.

 

[Flacracker]

Ok I left it on over night. Did 8 passes with no errors.

 

[Flacracker]

Just got a new BSOD after the memtest when I came into the OS. This one doesn't sound so good. Attached it.

Update Intel USB 3.0 driver .

 

[Flacracker]

The only thing that the Intel Driver Update utility told me download was the Ethernet driver. I updated the USB driver as well and had already updated the nvidia driver after I saw that error. So before I updated the Intel stuff I got a bsod while I was away which I got a dump for. After I updated I got a few more bsod's but some didn't create a dump. I have attached the three I have.

 

[VistaKing]

Update your USB 3.0 Intel .

Other bsods

iaStorA.sys - Intel RST (Rapid Storage Technology) driver

:ar: http://downloadcenter.intel.com/con...rivers&OSFullname=Windows+7++*&ProductID=2101

Your other BSOD was caused by

aswSP.SYS - avast! Self Protection Driver

Uninstall Avast using the tool below and install MSE

click on the link :ar: http://files.avast.com/iavs5x/aswclear.exe

Open (execute) the uninstall utility
If you installed avast! in a different folder than the default, browse for it.
Click REMOVE
Restart your computer

MSE :ar: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/security-essentials-download

 

[Flacracker]

I already updated the USB 3.0 driver. Did the others too. Ill report back if I get another blue screen. Also, I find it odd that all of these drivers decide to kill themselves at the same time. Is something else the cause?

Might want to run chkdsk and SFC scannow

:ar: chkdsk

Open up an Elevated Command Prompt. Click on rb: in

type CMD . Right click on CMD under Programs (1) choose

. On the User Access Control window click on the Yes button . Command Prompt opens up to C:\Windows\System32>_

Type the command below

chkdsk /F /R

press [ENTER]

When you type chkdsk /F /R you will get this message

The type of the file system is NTFS.
Cannot lock current drive.

Chkdsk cannot run because the volume is in use by another
process.  Would you like to schedule this volume to be
checked the next time the system restarts? (Y/N)

When you type " Y " and press [Enter] you get this message below

This volume will be checked the next time the system restarts.

C:\Windows\system32>

Close the command prompt window by typing exit and press [enter] Restart the PC manually .

When you're back inside Windows. Open up Powershell by clicking on rb: type Powershell inside

and press [ENTER] . Inside the Powershell paste the command below

get-winevent -FilterHashTable @{logname="Application"; id="1001"}| ?{$_.providername –match "wininit"} | fl timecreated, message | out-file Desktop\CHKDSKResults.txt

and Press [Enter] upload the CHKDSKResults.txt file

   Note

To paste inside the Powershell window press on the right click button on the mouse

:ar: SFC /scannow

Open up an Elevated Command Prompt. Click on rb: in

type CMD . Right click on CMD under Programs (1) choose

. On the User Access Control window click on the Yes button . Command Prompt opens up to C:\Windows\System32>_

Type the command below

SFC /scannow press Enter

   Note

there is a space between the letter C and the forward slash ( / )

If any corrupted files are found run SFC 2 more times with restarts in between each other . Then upload the CBS.log located in C:\Windows\Logs\CBS\CBS.log

 

[Flacracker]

Ok here are the chkdsk results. I ran one two days ago and one today already. Ill do the SFC soon.

 

[VistaKing]

Any blue screens after you updated the drivers ?

 

[Flacracker]

Just got one now.

I am seeing this

I installed an older nvidia driver just now. The Lan driver is up to date and just reinstalled it. Ill post the next bsod I get. I fear the problem may be my memory. It showed no erros on memtest but the reviews for it have been terrible: Crucial Ballistix Sport 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Low Profile Desktop Memory Model BLS2K4G3D1609ES2LX0 - Newegg.com I got it for free with my motherboard. The customer support people are saying there are problems with AMD systems. I am on intel but there still may be problems with it. What do you think? Also SFC showed no problems.

 

[VistaKing]

I personally never used Crucial memory . Good there are no issues with the hard drive . Lets see if you have anymore BSODs .

 

[Flacracker]

So today I thought I was running well but then I started getting crashes that just completely lock up the system with no BSOD. And Just now I got a BSOD but it didn't generate a crash dump.

 

[VistaKing]

See if you could login to windows . Run this tool below

TDSSKILLER

download link :ar: TDSSKiller

Save to the Desktop

Right-click the program and select

When the TDSSKiller console opens, click on: Change Parameters
Under Additional Options, place a check in the box next to: Detect TDLFS File System

Click: OK


Press: Start Scan


If a suspicious object is detected, the default action is Skip, leave it as is, and click on: Continue
If malicious objects are found, they show in the Scan results.
Ensure Cure (the default) is selected, then click: Continue > Reboot now, to finish the cleaning process.
(Note: If Cure is not available, select Skip, >>Do not select: Delete<<)


When done, the tool outputs its log to the disk with the Windows Operating System, normally C:\


Logs have a name like:
C:\TDSSKiller.X.X.X_12.04.2013_15.31.43_log.txt


Please post the TDSSKiller log in your reply.

 

[Flacracker]

Nothing detected. Here is the log. Also, was it supposed to be so fast?

 

[VistaKing]

Yes it's pretty quick .
