Understadning the dump files ?

[Vale]

Hi all,
I recently built a new rig and she has been running top notch, until today !
I have had two BSOD's occur in one afternoon and all i have done is let AMD Catalyst update itself.
I have tried viewing the dump files but i cant make sense of it, please can you help identify my crashes

Both times oddly i was watching youtube ? i played Skyrim and all was good, did a memtest and no errors so i am lost as what is causing it. I have since rolled back the driver but now i wait for the BSOD ! i am not confident with my rig now till the cause is found.
Thank you in advance for any help offered

Attached are the 2 dump logs lol

Regards.

Welcome
Both your dumps were consistent. They did not give much information. The important information is under probably caused by and yours says unknown image

Mmmm ???? firstly, thank you so much for your speedy reply, typical for me that in this instance the cause is unknown !
I will monitor it and see if i get anymore after rolling back my AMD driver, although i believe this to be coincidence ?

Appreciate your help Richard.
Vale.

 

[Vale]

Here it the SF file i should of uploaded first, thank you

 

[richc46]

Would you want me to feed you piecemeal the tests that we have for hardware. I give one, help you and then give the next if needed?

 

[Vale]

Richard, That would be great, any help to understand what caused this would instill my confidence :/

 

[richc46]

Don't forget, I have no idea of what the problem is. I feel that it is hardware. The DMP indicated the cause as unknown. With these facts, all that I can do is suggest the various tests.
First, I know that you mentioned the memory test. Is this how you proceeded? See part 2 testing.

[Vale]

No, ran windows memory diagnostic tool and all was ok, but i will run the memtest you linked tonight and post results tomorrow for your perusal then you can decide my next step, thank you so much Rich

 

[richc46]

Part 2 is very important, it tells you how to proceed. If memtest comes back negative, I will give you my next suggestion. You give me exact details. Does it happen after long use, fan working hard, anything out of the ordinary would help. Good luck

 

[Vale]

Ok, going for it. i will post back tomorrow Nite

 

[richc46]

Nite to you too.

Make a system restore point, now.
I think that you must fully uninstall the old driver (or remnants)
Why does a BSOD (Blue Screen of Death) occur during or immediately after installation of the AMD graphics driver?
To do this make sure that you followed these instructions
http://support.amd.com/en-us/kb-articles/Pages/GPU57RemoveOldGraphicsDrivers.aspx
If things still do not work try with the free driver sweeper. It fully removes driver remnants).
http://www.guru3d.com/content_page/guru3d_driver_sweeper.html
Updates are usually drivers. I think this has a good chance of success
If this does not work, go back with a system restore to the good times.
If its not broken lets not fix it.
Although, initially it appeared to me to be hardware, I am beginning to think in terms remnants of the prior installation.

 

[Vale]

Hi, so i ran that all night and all day, just got to 7 passes before bedtime and all is good, no errors
I will try your next idea tomorrow as its late now. I will post back my results.
Thanks again, Rich.

 

[richc46]

Take your time. The BSODS are hard to resolve. I think it is too much of a coincidence, however, that your problem, began with the update.

 

[Vale]

Yer me too Rich, i couldnt sleep so i have uninstalled ALL AMD software,rebooted, i then deleted ALL AMD / ATI registry values, rebooted and reinstalled AMD CCC with drivers.....I will now monitor what happens and hopefully no more BSoD

 

[richc46]

Good move. I think that I suggested the same in an earlier post.
