BSOD While Browsing - Recently Reformatted Drive?
Aug 18, 2012
Having been the receipiant of several BSOD's recently I eventually got around to formatting my HD, I have since installed all necessary drivers and several programs (Chrome, Firefox, VLC player, Adobe Suite, McAfee Security Centre, etc)he BSOD's have since reappeared and have occured 3-4 times now, I can't be sure whether this was before or after I installed McAfee. One detailed "page fault in non-paged area" the other something different I didn't quite catch before the system restart[CODE]

I am writing this right now because after the last BSOD it said "Windows can not start" and I had to restore to when it was previously working. So up until that point this is what I did.Since working with computers almost my entire life I know most BSOD are due to either bad memory, drivers, or bios. I started there and updated my nvidea drivers but it happened again. I moved to the motherboard bios.I did find a newer one on there and using ASUS tool I flashed the BIOS. Same thing still happened. Next I ran memtestx86 for 8 hours and it returned no errors.At this point I just decided to look for newest drivers for everything. One thing that happened consistently was that my wireless USB adapter from Cisco had to be unplugged and plugged back in for it to work. I went there first, reinstalled the drivers but still the same thing. I thought maybe it was my hard drive. I downloaded Seagates Utility tool and ran all the tests and they all passed fine. I ran defrag just for good measure along with windows version of the mem test and that passed as well. I still continued to get the BSOD and I have to tell you I'm irritated and also stumped.
Next I moved onto software. I have been using AVG free for years but I know virus programs do some crazy stuff and I got rid of that. Turned on windows defender. I decided that since the wireless adapter didn't work after these crashes maybe lets just go to a direct wired connection. I disconnected the cisco wireless adapter and I'm just using a direct connect right to my router.These come at random times.. nothing I do can trigger it. It can stay on for days and not crash and then there are times it can be up for 10 min and crash.Some of you might notice that in the CPU-Z screenshots I had to take the screenshot with the error underneath. Every time I chose either of the two slots it crashed the program.I have not done anything internally besides add some neon to my computer which does not connect to the board at all.I have seen IRQL blue screen once so I even went as far to go into the power settings for windows and make sure the usb and everything never went into any kind of "standby" mode.
I believe this is still under warranty and I would like to go in with good information if I need to challenge and get new hardware if that's what it is.On a side note I have not touched the memory physically. I know some suggestions were to reseed the memory and chip but In my opinion something that has been working for months that never moves off my desk and is never basically touched besides the power button shouldn't mean something just came loose after 4 months of owning it.Again that's just my opinion. I have removed AVG, Ad-Aware, Some webcam motion detector software (which was a joke) and the only thing that was really installed was Skyrim.

I've got a WD My Book 1110 external hard drive, originally for Mac. My Mac died and so I got a Windows 7 machine. I extracted all the data, reformatted the two partitions I had on the drive, and moved the data back onto it. The partitions showed up with letters, all was fine, until I restarted my machine. Now I can't access the drive. It shows up in Disk Management, lists the properties, but the drives aren't assigned letters, they don't show up in Explorer, and Disk Management says the partitions are 100% free. Also in Disk Management, when I right click on the volume, all options are greyed out except Delete. Taking some clues from the internet, I've already tried uninstalling the drivers (it says they're up to date, and said it reinstalled them fine, and that the drive was ready to use, except it still doesn't show up.)

Had a BSOD last week, never had one in months, I was "ok, something happened it's not a problem". Just got a second one right now, so now I'm more like "what's happening "

I recently reformatted my Windows 7 32bit system on my primary HDD (C). When I open My Computer, my secondary HDD (D) appears, but when I try to open it, it shows as empty. However, if I look at the properties of D, it says that only 200gb out of 500gb of free space is available. I booted into a live version of Ubuntu and the secondary HDD appears with all data in it and accessible, so I know there is nothing physically wrong with the drive. I know that I could brute force this problem by making a copy of the drive in Ubuntu, then reformatting it in Win7, but I'm hoping there's an easier solution that I'm just not aware of.

I chose to ignore it as its the first time it happened and i hoped it wouldn't happen again.I came home 2 days after , and in 1 evening i got around 4 BSODs.Some BSODs occured while i was playing games , and they would happen with some lines appearing on the screen for a few seconds and the computer freezing , and then i would get the BSOD.I thought it was something GPU related , probably driver related , so i reinstalled the drivers and all , but nothing happened as they still occur.

henever I play games (diablo, amnesia dark descent) my computer will crash after awhile. Sometimes it takes over an hour, other times in 5 mins. I used bluescreenview and it seems like each bsod is slightly different. I'm very overwhelmed with all the possibilities with what could be going wronMy computer is a custom build and I built it around 3 weeks ago:Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit This was the original OS on the system, retail, I have not reinstalled it.I attached to zip folder

I have a Lexan dual-slot card reader that I use for downloading my photo's to my computer. I've had this for over a year and since I installed it, I would always see the drive letters listed in Explorer.Recently, I tried to download some pictures and when I went to click on the drive letter to open the folder on my card, the drive letter was not visible.I must note that they show up as drives when I go into the Disk Management utility. This is becoming a source of frustration and I need to know why this has randomly happened and how to rectify the problem. I really do need to see them listed as drives.

After running first XP and than Vista on my rig I ghosted the Vista (x64) install yesterday and formatted for Win 7 (RC). All installed just fine and appears stable as long as I do nothing. I haven't installed any supplier drivers, but run from Win 7 integrated drivers only. I went on with updating through Win Update with everything there was and then went on to the typical utility stuff (i.e. Flash, Acrobat Reader etc.).
My issue is that on SOME web pages my computer now go straight to blue screen of death memory dumping. An example of such a page is Nvidia's (nvidia.com), which will send me straight to BSOD as soon as the name is resolved and I have a title. ^^
I tried restoring to a system restore point prior to all 3rd party installs (such as Flash), but I have no different behavior. I am about to try a clean install to see if it persists, but I am curious as to if anyone else has seen or heard of this tiny issue before and has any interesting theories on it?
And to clarify; no Asus drivers were installed and no the BIOS is not updated, but on the other hand - if it was BIOS incompatability I would kinda expect some generela stability issues, not connected to sepcific home pages.
Any ideas? Aliens in my RAM? Microsoft censoring the internet? Computer come alive and has a taste of its own?

My computer's been perfectly stable for months now and suddenly it BSODs again. (the previous issues had been entirely accounted for and rectified) I have my hunches but I need someone to take a look at the BSOD logs to find out what exactly caused this one.I've been doing just fine until I started playing Battlefield 3. My NVIDIA 280.26 drivers weren't good enough, the game told me so and froze every 5 minutes of play, necessitating killing the process through the task manager. I did a clean reinstall complete with driver sweeper of the 285.62 driver version and that fixed my issue. The game requires you to have all sorts of crap running in the background when you play. Punkbuster is normal but now EA has their own version of Steam, 'Origin', which needs to be playing while you run it. It also runs the game through the web browser, which required their own addon through my Firefox browser (v9.0.1).
Things were going well till a couple of days ago. I had just finished up a game of BF3 and was browsing through the game's web site when my screen went black. Everything came back up and my PC told me my video drivers had crashed and recovered. Firefox had oddly crashed as well. Fast forward to today, I'd finished playing BF3, at least an hour had passed. I was browsing some unrelated web site when my computer popped the blue screen linked in attachments. No warning at all, just browsing the net. My computer has been 100% stable up until now so I'm thinking it's either the new drivers or the funny plugin the game shoved into my Firefox.Whenever I've gone to their web site the browser opens 3 'plugin container' processes which won't close until I shut down the browser entirely. I know Origin wasn't running this last time but I might not have shut down the browser and restarted.I use Windows 7 64 bit retail on a self-built computer.I just built the system at the end of last year. 285.62-desktop-Windows 7-winvista-64bit-english-whql (installed)

I just had a very random BSOD while just using the computer for browsing the web. It was related to win32k.sys. I have attached the dump files to this post. I'm running Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit with SP1 and have an i5 760 processor and a GT240 graphics card.

when i am watching web video - news site video (cnn, wsj, fox) or Internet, a few minutes into it, my system restarts. also, but less frequently, i get random restart on browsing with both ie8 and ff. see my profile for specs - basically windows 7 32 bit oem on a 5 year old p4 system. its fully patched. i thought it might be my avast and ad aware so i uninstalled these and installed ms security essentials. its fully patched too. i have updated my video drivers and installed an ms codec update. the restarts are still happening. the case gets decent air flow and i even slipped the side panel off, blew out some dust. the cpu temp seems fine so i don't think its a thermal warning. i tried the instructions to generate a minidump file, but no luck. the zip file has all my settings re: minidump as per the thread. see word doc in zip file.

I'm getting a 0x0000003b BSOD, and one I tracked down to it being Avast Antivirus causing it, and I uninstalled it, but I have one other that I don't know what it is.
Copied from BlueScreenViewer
ntoskrnl.exe
ntoskrnl.exe+7cc40
I have uploaded a picture of my BSW screen.I have also uploaded a .dmp file for a BSOD and a PERFMON HTML file. I'm not sure if I did this right.

Attachment 184027Windows 7, x64. Intel Core2 Duo CPU, 4 gig ram Original installation on the system, and I've never reinstalled it. I've had the laptop for about 1.5 years, Dell Studio 1555. It was bought new.
I get the BSOD at random moments, and it usually says fltmgr.sys (something like this) and the Driver Equal or Inequal message. I'm usually using my computer to go on the internet, although sometimes there's a BSOD when I close the lid. (I know because when I boot up the computer again it tells me there was an unexpected shutdown.)

Whenever I am playing music on my computer. Whether it be Spotify or Pandora.. and I go to a certain type of website, it triggers the blue screen of death. It seemed random, but I have a certain site I can get to trigger the bsod ever time if musics on... not if it is off
I am using Firefox 11.0 I am able to trigger the BSOD on navigating through the sitewww.nbc.com/the-voice
I have attached all of the necessary BSOD items. Is Windows 7 . . . - x86 (32-bit) or x64 ? X64 - the original installed OS on the system? Yes. Original - an OEM or full retail version? OEM - OEM = came pre-installed on system - Full Retail = you purchased it from retailer - What is the age of system (hardware)? 1 month - What is the age of OS installation (have you re-installed the OS?) Same. Have not re-installed OS.

I've had this issue before & it was bad RAM before so i replaced my RAM in late March and have not had issues since until a few minutes ago, I was watching a live stream on ustream.tv of the Nevada GOP Convention while also browsing facebook and Reddit and everything suddenly locked up on me and then a BSOD occurred forcing a reboot of my system, I have attached the .zip file to this post to hopefully finally get to the bottom of this issue..Is Windows 7
- x86 (32-bit) or x64 ? - 64 bit
- the original installed OS on the system? - Windows 7 64 bit, & dual booting Windows 8 Beta on a different partition
- an OEM or full retail version? - OEM
- What is the age of system (hardware)? - custom built system but i'd say average is 3-4 years for the mobo/processor, Ram is brand new, one of my hard drives is also only a couple of months, the other is maybe 2-3 years at my best estimate
- What is the age of OS installation (have you re-installed the OS?) - I did a reformat just a few months ago.

my computer has been receiving random BSODs throughout the day, especially when I am browsing the web. The message is usually "memory management." This computer is around 3 months old. The first 1 1/2 month, it did not experience this problem. However, from July and onwards, my computer would get BSOD; it would occur at least once a day.
According to BlueScreenView, the driver that is causing BSOD is "ntoskrnl.exe."

I think the problem is related to my graphics drivers. I persistently have issues with atikmpag.sys and atikmdag.sys. It has happened from the start and I finally am fed up with it.It can happen during web browsing. Playing video in media center will do it. My wife tried watching a video on imdb.com and it crashed[CODE]I've tried reseating graphics and memory. I uninstalled the graphics driver and entire catalyst suite and just reinstalled the driver as I've heard that can be a probl know enough about computers to feel too comfortable and do damage, but I haven't tried anything crazy yet.I don't know enough to be useful fixing them evidently.'m at my wits end and ready to either take it in to MicroCenter to have them try and fix it or just buy a new NON-ATI graphics card to see if that fixes it.

Ran the W7F diagnostic tool as admin and it wouldn't create anything on my desktop so have attached dump files/cpu-z/RAMMON
Has always BSOD occasionally but has become much more frequent, every 15mins when playing X-COM. Appears to be mostly 101 clock error. The processor was pre-overclocked by the supplier, the overclocking profile only kicks in when cpu is under load. I never changed voltages or anything else in bios.
Ran prime 95 for 3 hrs last night before it crashed but the error was different to what it normally is - that's the oldest dump file in attached.

I just finished building my new pc and got it up and running today, but it has bluescreened six or seven times since I've been using it. I installed Windows 7 Ultimate x64 on it last night and the BSOD will pop up after 10 minutes of browsing or doing light work or even after playing a couple hours of Skyrim. Very random. I looked over some of the dump files to see a pattern but I think there are multiple things causing the BSOD. All of the hardware is new and this is my first time building a pc, though I am fairly certain that all of the hardware components are put together correctly, so I'm not sure if I need to upgrade a certain driver or what. My specs are listed under the profile and the dump files and health report are attached.
