Windows 7 crash after a few hours.

[reyes136]

Every morning when I wake up I find that my windows 7 system had shut down, also if i restart it in the morning i come back around 5 hrs. later and find it shutdown. I updated all my drivers and dont see any system errors. Is their anyone who can help.

You sure it's not just going to sleep/hibernate?

When I first installed 7000 that's what I though.

Windows 7 Crash

Here are my dump files.

 

[reyes136]

Windows 7 crash.

I cant get it to power up with the keyboard or mouse. And when i push the power button it starts up and gives the message that windows recovered from a crash.

 

[ambrose]

I had this exact same problem on x64 and x86 versions of 7100, it was as copernicus said above the sleep/hibernate problem......
I switched to performance mode and the problems went away!!!!

 

[reyes136]

I did try that I switched to that mode but it did not help. I am using the 64bit version of win7 on a P5e-VM HDMI.

Mine was crashing in the same time frame now I've updated to the 7127 version and as yet not had any.

The crash took place in a standard Microsoft module. Likely the culprit is another driver on your system which cannot be identified.
[/FONT]
[FONT=Segoe UI, Arial]This appears to be a driver issue. What software/drivers do you have installed?[/FONT]

The problem is caused by the driver l160x64.sys which appears to be an Atheros L1 Gigabit Ethernet 10/100/1000Base-T Adapter.

 

[reyes136]

So to update to the 7127 do I have to reinstall the os?

 

[Vipermk2]

I just upgraded through windows, it takes longer but keeps the majority of your settings plus your applications

 

[usasma]

Try updating your video drivers (due to the error message).
I'll look at the memory dump files later on.

 

[reyes136]

Thanks Everyone for your help, I am using the latest video drivers from nvidia I have a 9800GT and am using 185.85 drivers.

CHANGE 1 to last post:

The dump files seem to point at this file:

Name: Atheros L1 Gigabit Ethernet 10/100/1000Base-T Controller #2
Device ID: PCI\VEN_1969&DEV_1048&SUBSYS_82261043&REV_B0\4&80C0571&0&00E3

I'd suggest that you uninstall your network drivers, then install the latest version available from the website of the Motherboard/Computer manufacturer (couldn't locate the drivers at the Atheros website - but you may have better luck).

Here's the dump file (the most recent one - they were all pretty similar):

Had the same problem with my Intel Wireless 3945. the original wireless card that came with the laptop was 4965 but i downgraded and windows cannot start the card i has the drivers installed but just cannot start it. This resulted in PC shutting down a bit sometimes with Blue Screen

 

[reyes136]

Hey, Good news I got through my first nite without a power down. Now ill change my settings back to allowing my system to sleep and see if my luck continues. The only problem is that windows update is trying to re-install the network driver that was giving me the problem.

 

[reyes136]

Well for a update to this issue, With the old vista64 drivers the system will stay up over nite as long as I dont allow it to go into sleep mode. If it goes into sleep mode It will crash. I then installed the drivers with windows update and It again crashes after 5 hrs. or so weither its in standby or not. So Ill just go back to the old vista64 drivers from asus and leave it on all the time. Hope they get this resolved soon.

Thanks for all your help.
