Solved Windows7 Ult x64 BSoD

[Xecas]

Hello everyone of Sevenforums!
Over the past one year since i built my pc, i have been getting the IRQL_Not_Less_Or_Equal BSoD. Since i built my pc it has seen some different parts like i switched case, psu and GPU (250GTS to Asus GeForce 560ti).
I tried reading about this BSoD and as i can understand its a W.XP error?
I dont know what info you guys would want, so if you can explain to me what to do in the responce i would be very glad!
Best Regards
Xecas!

To enable us to assist you with your computer's BSOD symptoms, upload the contents of your "\Windows\Minidump" folder.

The procedure:

* Copy the contents of \Windows\Minidump to another (temporary) location somewhere on your machine.
* Zip up the copy.
* Attach the ZIP archive to your post using the "paperclip" (file attachments) button.
*If the files are too large please upload them to a file sharing service like "Rapidshare" and put a link to them in your reply.


To ensure minidumps are enabled:

Go to Start, in the Search Box type: sysdm.cpl, press Enter.
Under the Advanced tab, click on the Startup and Recovery Settings... button.
Ensure that Automatically restart is unchecked.
Under the Write Debugging Information header select Small memory dump (256 kB) in the dropdown box (the 256kb varies).
Ensure that the Small Dump Directory is listed as %systemroot%\Minidump.
OK your way out.
Reboot if changes have been made.

Here you go.
I appreciate the help alot, just did this after i got a BSoD, this time it didnt have a message tho, just said something about drivers and anti virus.

Xecas

PS: Also it said something about a CHKDSK or something like that

Hi and welcome

This one is easy. Memory corruption probably caused by your AVG

Unable to load image AVGIDSFilter.Sys, Win32 error 0n2
*** WARNING: Unable to verify timestamp for AVGIDSFilter.Sys
*** ERROR: Module load completed but symbols could not be loaded for AVGIDSFilter.Sys
Probably caused by : memory_corruption

Followup: memory_corruption


I would remove and replace AVG with Microsoft Security essentials

Download tools and utilities | AVG Worldwide

Virus, Spyware & Malware Protection | Microsoft Security Essentials



ALSO please run these two tests


1-Memtest.

*Download a copy of Memtest86 and burn the ISO to a CD using Iso Recorder or another ISO burning program.

*Boot from the CD, and leave it running for at least 5 or 6 passes.

Just remember, any time Memtest reports errors, it can be either bad RAM or a bad motherboard slot.

*Test the sticks individually, and if you find a good one, test it in all slots.

2-Driver verifier

I'd suggest that you first backup your data and then make sure you've got access to another computer so you can contact us if problems arise. Then make a System Restore point (so you can restore the system using the Vista/Win7 Startup Repair feature).

In Windows 7 you can make a Startup Repair disk by going to Start....All Programs...Maintenance...Create a System Repair Disc - with Windows Vista you'll have to use your installation disk or the "Repair your computer" option at the top of the Safe Mode menu .

Then, here's the procedure:
- Go to Start and type in "verifier" (without the quotes) and press Enter
- Select "Create custom settings (for code developers)" and click "Next"
- Select "Select individual settings from a full list" and click "Next"
- Select everything EXCEPT FOR "Low Resource Simulation" and click "Next"
- Select "Select driver names from a list" and click "Next"
Then select all drivers NOT provided by Microsoft and click "Next"
- Select "Finish" on the next page.

Reboot the system and wait for it to crash to the Blue Screen. Continue to use your system normally, and if you know what causes the crash, do that repeatedly. The objective here is to get the system to crash because Driver Verifier is stressing the drivers out. If it doesn't crash for you, then let it run for at least 36 hours of continuous operation (an estimate on my part).

If you can't get into Windows because it crashes too soon, try it in Safe Mode.
If you can't get into Safe Mode, try using System Restore from your installation DVD to set the system back to the previous restore point that you created.

Ok i will get right to that! I however have checked my RAM with MEMtest before and they both passed also the driver thing you say with the drivers i dont have a system restore dvd. also i could re-install my system cuz its filled with crap

 

[Xecas]

Ok i did all that you said. so i booted my pc, it gave me BSoD saying something about the driver trying to acess some memory after being freed. now i re-start and the only options i get is: Start Windows Normally, wich i go for. but that turned out to give me a BSoD. the other one was system repair wich i went for the 3rd i rebooted. I have however noticed that AVG is back and some programs i installed was gone, does this mean that the driver thing did not work proberly?

Did you read the instructions for driver verifier? It suggested you make a restore point and have a back up just in case.

Did you use the AVG removal tool?

To turn driver verifier off boot into safe mode and check reset settings.

 

[Xecas]

Hello. I sure did as you said regarding driver verifier. I however cannot make a system restore on a DVD as my drive is broken. After i had done the driver verifier thing my pc gave me a bsod, so i rebooted and only options is system restore or start windows normally, did the system restore. I have removed AVG from my pc, and got MSE. Today just before i am writing this my PC gave me BSoD saying this: "Modification of system code or a critical data struckture was detected". I have attached Minidump files id you would need 'em.

edit: my pc gave me a PAGE_FAULT_IN_NON_PAGED_AREA, I could try do a re-install of my OS and then come back to the forums. this os has seen alot of different parts and such. Do you think that would help? also im gonna try run a memtest again just to be sure

Another edit: I got DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL, never seen this one before. also turned off driver verifier... lets see if it helps

Memtest 86, done 7 passes no errors.

 

[zigzag3143]

Memtest 86, done 7 passes no errors.

So the memory is ok.

Just in case download Malwarebytes and run it.

 

[Xecas]

Ok, I have not had any BSoD in the past days, but i will report and download that thing you suggest.

 

[Xecas]

Hey, BSoD occured today, would you like minidump files? Also got the Malwarebytes program wich found some infections wich now are wiped out. Should i buy Malwarebytes, cause i did a MSE scan just before and that detected nothing, so i was just wondering bout that. ^^ I was wondering with memtest tho, do i have to remove one of my ram sticks the first time i run it or is it only if it detects errors the first time?
Best Regards

[Xecas]

Hey. I am still getting BSoD's. Can i do anything else?
Also please anwser my questions above if you have time.
I must say i didnt quite understand the Driver verifier part too well. ( I am not sure if i did something wrong)

Removed one of my RAM sticks and booted in all slots with the other one. 1st one was fine in both of the blue slots but in the black my pc wouldnt boot up. the 2nd RAM stick was the same. im gonna do a MEMtest this weekend trying 1 stick at the time.

The most recent DMP file in your previous post is from the 8/27 (or 6 days ago). Where are the ones from today?

 

[Xecas]

New minidump

hey man, heres the minidumps from today.

Memory corruption (probably caused by a driver). You have several old drivers from as far back as 2004. I would run these two tests if you havent already and update the below drivers.

How To Find Drivers:

- search Google for the name of the driver
- compare the Google results with what's installed on your system to figure out which device/program it belongs to
- visit the web site of the manufacturer of the hardware/program to get the latest drivers (DON'T use Windows Update or the Update driver function of Device Manager).
- if there are difficulties in locating them, post back with questions and someone will try and help you locate the appropriate program.

- - The most common drivers are listed on this page: Driver Reference Driver Reference
- - Driver manufacturer links are on this page: Drivers and Downloads

Ok, I will get to that, I dont quite understand the driver verifier part tho ^^. Last time we tried it crashed into a bluescreen immediately, and theres was no choice than doing a system repair. also doing a system backup on a USB stick, how does that work, will i have all my stuff back if i let windows choose or will things such as picture, games and movies be gone?

 

[Xecas]

You know what? What if i did a re-install of my system and install that drivers that i use to, and then I can give you Minidump files so we can take it from there.
Reason that i wanna do a re-install is because that im getting a larger and faster HDD. Does this sound like a good idea, or should i analyze the problems now? I know that un-installed some if these drivers long ago
