Sorry for that old illegal install

OK, MSE full scan finished, no infections..

i found interesting record in System events. i have attached image. But maybe it's just due to the system crash?

 

[cipley]

it doesn't mean anything important

can you send this particular file:

C:\Windows\system32\V0530Ext.ax

Remember to zip that first!!

and I do hope you remove that hacked software

 

[oxygen15]

It's a hex file...may need some time to figure it out...
Let's see what I can do...

 

[oxygen15]

Probably it is webcam file. My webcam model is V0530.

 

[cipley]

you got that right:
Creative Worldwide Support > Live! Cam Chat IM (VF0530)

so the good news is...it was a False Alarm

however, I couldn't find anything from the dump files that points there, so...yeah

try to update those and see if that fixes things up

Ok a couple of things to start, first please update the following driver:

kd> lmvm iaStor
start             end                 module name
fffff880`01207000 fffff880`015a9000   iaStor     (deferred)             
    Image path: \SystemRoot\system32\DRIVERS\iaStor.sys

Driver Reference Table - iaStor.sys

this driver, when old can cause BSODs please update it from here: https://downloadcenter.intel.com/Default.aspx

Many thanks, buddyes.
I have checked my system with Intel update tool. Results attached.

So, finally, can we say that my system have had software problem?

 

[Dsprague]

I would update all three then report back if you have further problems.

 

[oxygen15]

ok, drivers updated

 

[Dsprague]

Let us know if you get another BSOD.

 

[oxygen15]

but really interesting situation.
4 years of high load working, no problem. One day 4 Bsod's. After these bsod's- 7 days of working like before, without problems..

 

[Dsprague]

It does seem rather odd but such is the nature of drivers.

 

[oxygen15]

Thank you very much, buddyes, i will write here if the problem will repeat.

 

[oxygen15]

Still without bsod's.
But now i have chance to upgrade my system to new. I don't want to upgrade, because i like HP.
If my problem was hardware then yes, i will upgrade. If software- not.
Last question, buddies: How do you think, it was hardware or software bsod's?
Thank you wery much.

 

[Dsprague]

If it were hardware related then updating drivers would not have solved the problem so I feel safe to say that it was likely just a driver that was out of date. Just be sure to make sure that you keep your drivers and such upto date and you should be fine.

 

[oxygen15]

yes, i understand.
But one thought concerns me: PC with old drivers was working perfectly for two years after the last Windows install with old drivers ultil one night i have get mass of BSOD'S. It is possible?
