strange reacurring BSOD! HELP IF YOU SEE THIS PLZ!!!

[torrentg]

In an elevated command prompt, type sfc /scannow and hit enter.

But that probably won't help because I swear you have to have some 3rd party firewall with the netio.sys stop errors you're getting.

Which antivirus are you running? I think I see Avast. Uninstall that to test.

Try this:

Start menu. Type msinfo32 and hit enter. Ctrl+s on the screen that opens. Zip or rar the saved file and attach to a post.

Unrelated, but you should also visit game.amd.com to get the latest driver for your video card too.

I'v run that corrupt file test twice now before you posted this as recommended by other forum people and microsoft and both times there were no errors. I don't remember but I may have tried 3rd party firewall software a long time ago when i was still running Vista, but i keep my system very neat and I know what programs aren't or are on it and I am pretty sure I uninstalled it a long time ago if I did download komodo or zone.

I am running Avast and I guess I will uninstall it to test if I BSOD again.

I went to toshiba's website itself to get my latest video card driver and I'v installed and uninstalled it like 5 times trying to get the newest driver. Toshiba says its Win7 compatible but AMD says its only Vista compatible. I am now emailing AMD to get them to personally send me the Win7 latest and greatest driver for my radeo x1250.

Here is my system info. By the way, are you saying that my dumps crash at netio.sys everytime?

Fail safe cure... do a clean install.. format your drive during installation...

In this case, agreed.

There's some "junk" on the machine too such as Bonjour service.

So much better off here with a clean install.

This is my fourth post on my problem. I upgraded from Vista Home Premium 32-bit to Win 7 respectively and ever since I've been getting BSOD with bad_pool_header and memory_management errors. Here are 2 dump files and my system info. Please help me! THANK YOU ALL!

You won't be getting much help without filling out your system specs as accurately as possible. Thanks

\

You still havn't even filled out your system specs, I don't even know what kind of laptop you have LOL. You are only hurting yourself by ignoring my request.

If you would have paid attention I uploaded 2 .nfo files with all my system specs

Thanks everybody, if i get one more BSOD i will do a clean install after i get an external HDD to backup my data.

I can't recall if you've done a hard drive diagnostic or a CHKDSK /R. But if you haven't, there's lot's of STOP 0x19 in NTFS.SYS in your MSINFO32 file. This is also essential if you plan on doing a clean install.

I'd suggest these 2 things:
1 - bootable Hard Drive diagnostic: HD Diagnostic
2 - CHKDSK /R
Run CHKDSK /R from an elevated (Run as adminstrator) Command Prompt.
When it tells you it can't do it right now - and asks you if you'd like to do it at the next reboot - answer Y (for Yes) and press Enter. Then reboot and let the test run. It may take a while for it to run, but keep an occasional eye on it to see if it generates any errors. See "CHKDSK LogFile" below in order to check the results of the test.

Elevated Command Prompt
Go to Start and type in "cmd.exe" (without the quotes)
At the top of the Search Box, right click on Cmd.exe and select "Run as administrator"

CHKDSK LogFile
Go to Start and type in "eventvwr.msc" (without the quotes) and press Enter
Expand the Windows logs heading, then select the Application log file entry.
Double click on the Source column header.
Scroll down the list until you find the Chkdsk entry.
Copy/paste the results into your next post.

I ran the chkdsk but i cannot find the log file whatsoever. I don't think there were any errors though, i dont know.

 

[usasma]

Please run the hard drive diagnostic then.

 

[sman5922]

Hello again, sorry I haven't replied. I did not run the HDD diagnostic but I would like to say that I havent BSOD in at least a week I don't know what I did or if I even did anything. With my luck though as soon as I post this i'll BSOD again. Ill keep working on this laptop and post back later if I get another BSOD or if i ever find a permanent solution. Thank you everybody for all your help.

 

[sman5922]

New theory.

Hi again. Ok, the crashes have slimmed down to about once a week. I have a new theory, I think there is just one corrupt file in my system and everytime I somehow touch that file my system crashes. I think this because the last two times my system crash, I was defragging with deffraggler and the second time I was scanning with windows defender. I think as soon as the scanners scan or move the file that is corrupt I crash. Here is one minidump please analyze it and tell me anything new and interesting. Thanks guys.

 

[usasma]

No minidump present.
That's a good theory - but that's the easy part.
Figuring out which of the hundreds of thousands of file is at fault is the challenge.

Sorry I just realized that i forgot to upload the minidump. Here are two because as I was checking for any responses last night it crashed again.

Please start by running these hardware diagnostics:
Memory Diagnostics (read the details at the link)
HD Diagnostic (read the details at the link)

Also, please run one of these free, independent online malware scans to ensure that your current protection hasn't been compromised: Malware (read the details at the link)

The BSOD's don't point to anything in particular - but NTFS.SYS is present in the stack text of one of the dumps. So, please try this next:

CHKDSK /R
Run CHKDSK /R from an elevated (Run as adminstrator) Command Prompt.
When it tells you it can't do it right now - and asks you if you'd like to do it at the next reboot - answer Y (for Yes) and press Enter. Then reboot and let the test run.

I know you give support to many many people, so its ok if you forgot, but I basically ran and did all these things. I'm just going around in circles so I'm going to do a clean install, could you answer some questions about that?

1.Since I used an upgrade disc to upgrade vista to Win7 and already used the product key will doing a clean install still work with that same disc and that same product key?

2.Doing a custom install, will it let me reformat my drive so I start as new as possible?

3.Any other tips before I do this clean install?

 

[usasma]

Thanks for understanding - I often get confused after running so many BSOD's.
I haven't seen any confirmation that you've run the Hard Drive diagnostics - please run them if you haven't already.

Yes, you can do a clean install with the same product key. At work what we do is we boot from the DVD to install using the Custom option (that'll let you format the hard drive). We DO NOT type in the product key when installing at this point.

Then, once you're in Windows, run Setup from the DVD and use the Upgrade option. Then type in the product key this time and it'll finish with no issues.

Final tips for the clean install - let Windows check for compatibility and let it install all updates. Don't use Windows Updates or Device Manager to install any drivers. Don't install any Vista or earlier drivers - only drivers designed for Windows 7.

Once that's done, check Device Manager for any problem devices. If you find any that don't have Windows 7 drivers - post back here. Then select a Windows 7 compatible antivirus and install/update that.

Then wait for a while before adding anything else. I'd suggest at least doubling the longest time you've had between BSOD's. If you get BSOD's, upload them so we can have a look at them.

The HDD diagnostic would check if I had a failing HDD? I really doubt it because no BSOD in vista its definately a software issue. Also, there are no Toshiba HDD diagnostics on that page. So what you do is install windows 7 twice?

 

[usasma]

A hard drive diagnostic would tell if there are hardware issues with the hard drive. If you've got a Toshiba hard drive, try the Hitachi Drive Fitness Test to test the hard drive.

A BSOD is an error that could cause damage to your system. A faulty hard drive is one of the possible causes. The BSOD's are not necessarily software issues.

Yes, you install Windows 7 twice - once as a custom install without the product key, then once as an upgrade with the product key.

 

[sman5922]

Ok I burned the Hitachi DFT onto a CD. I need more instructions. Do I just run it like the memtestx86 or what? How long do I run if for. The instructions on their website are confusing the hell out of me. Thanks
