BSOD While General Usage (mostly Browsing Files And Internet)?
Nov 16, 2011
One of my computers keeps crashing while doing tasks like browsing files on the HDD or surfing the web. I'm attaching a copy of the minidump file. I've looked at the result from the Windows Debugging Tool, but I'm not sure how to read it as it's my first time. I did note the names "fltmgr.sys" and "SearchIndexer" stand out.I'd like to point out that no new programs were installed prior to the BSOD's and that I've updated all of the drivers that I could find for the motherboard since the BSOD's. I could not get the BIOS to be updated because Gigabyte doesn't seem to have a 64-bit version available. I'm currently running a thorough disk check on the HDD.
Computer spec:
- AMD Athlon II X2 250 Dual Core Processor
- Gigabyte MA785GM-US2H Motherboard
- Western Digital WD5000AAKS Caviar Blue Hard Drive
- Patriot PGS24G6400ELK Gamer Series 4096MB PC6400 DDR2
- OCZ ModXStream Pro 500W Modular PowerSupply
Things I noticed before crashes:
- Internet stops working
- Computer becomes sluggish
- Seems to crash while multi-tasking (multiple windows, downloading+browsing, etc.)
- Windows Update is unable to install SP1 for this machine. It downloads but fails to install.
Computer is an Alienware M17 laptop with a fresh install of windows 7Computer will BSOD randomly during gamingsometimes when starting up netflix streamingSeveral dumps attachedI was going to try to debug myself for the first time but after I install the tools from here (on another computer): Debugging Tools for Windows 64-bit Version I can't find windbg in my start menu or anywhere else on the computer.
Out of the blue, (no pun indended), my computer decided to BSOD. It is a Lenovo X61T, using windows 7 x64 ultimate.I have attached the minidump,I have the current windows updates and checked my drivers.
I was using vista x86 up untill windows 7 came out, it was the I decided to go for my first x64 operating system. I have an i7 and 3gb ram.
Ever since I've moved over, games take up a stupid amount of memory, they'll go to 80 - 90%. I recently decided to install Crysis Warhead as I never got round to completing it, last time I played it I was on vista x86 and it ran fine. However now, it takes forever to load and/or freezes because there's no memory left.
I've tried setting the page file at 200 - 1024, 1024 - 1024 and turning it off, none of that makes a difference. I tried increasing it to 4096-4096 just out of curiosity, that managed to load the game, however, while I did have a constant 50-60fps I was lagging really badly and had 91% ram usage.
Am I missing something here, does anyone else have this issue?
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.)
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.
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.
I encountered a BSOD while just browsing the internet, I managed to get the STOP code of 124 though before it cleared. I HAVE been having some issues with my HDD not maintaining constant speeds during file transfers, so maybe its a HDD problem?
I've been having trouble with my laptop now for quite a while when I'm on the internet and open 2 or more tabs or on random websites it'll stop loading the page for a split second then go to BSOD then restart?I've followed the BSOD posting instructions however I can't find this perfmon/report thing it's talking about so if someone could guide me if they need it I'd be happy to oblige. I am using an Advent Roma 3000 laptop 32 bit windows 7 OS It's the original windows 7 that came installed on the laptop This laptop is about 2 years and 2 months old and I have not reinstalled the OS ever.
I got a BSOD while on the internet after about 10-15 minutes. I tried it on Google Chrome, Firefox and IE 9. It also occured when playing runescape on EpicBot. It hasnt occured while i played maplestory. x86 (32-bit) or x64 ? x86 - the original installed OS on the system? Windows 7 Starter - 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)? 5 Months - What is the age of OS installation? 5 Months
fixing the BSOD. It would occur while browsing internet. Recently I upgraded my RAM to GSkill 8GB (2x4gb) and it seems to occur more frequently. With my previous factory installed ram it would occur only occasionally 2 or 3 times per month.
the PC I built seems to BSOD about once a week. Usually it was on Mondays at any given time. Now it happened again Tuesday. The bsod flashes to quick for me to catch anything but "inpage". I also ran chkdsk and sfc. I want to assume it is the hard drive even though chkdsk showed no problems. I do have two minidumps to provide, but I can't seem to find any attachment icon to upload them.
Here are my current specs with everything at stock: Windows 7 Professional x64 Asus P8P67 EVO B3 i5 2500K GTX 560 Ti 640 GB WD Green w/ OS 500 GB Seagate Barracuda 2x2GB DDR3 1333Hz 650W
Lastly, I think I should not be using a Green HDD with the OS but there is a story to that. I will use a 7200RPM HDD if that is indeed the problem.
i have a self-built pc that i have been using for about 2 years. i have had problems with bsod in the past and recently reinstalled my operating system (windows 7 64 bit) about 2 weeks ago. in the past few days i have been getting nonstop bsod, about 5+ per day although not all are being shown in the dump files according to bluescreenview. usually i am not doing anything when these occur except browsing the internet or listening to music on Internet. sometimes i will have a game minimized in the background while i am doing work. i have had these problems before but have not been able to put my finger on what is causing them. i have attached requested files with my computer specs, so if there is any advice you can give me or any insight into what might be causing these, please let me know. it is difficult for me to understand on my own because most errors are different according to the bluescreenview reports.
I have been having random crashes / restarts on my computer for the entire duration that I have had my windows 7 installed, before this I used windows xp which was on the same hard drive. I thought I managed to fix the issue but it happened again today and once yesterday as well.
What happens:
-Playing random game or browsing internet -crash for no reason (Doesn't always BSOD) -computer restarts says windows did not shut down cleanly etc.. -start up what I was doing again -no crash
Search and Destroy along with Malwarebytes says that I am clean along with my AVG My dump settings are properly configured to produce dump files, although when this happens I do not see one being produced
My Windows 7 computer:
- x64 bit - not the original OS - retail version - What is the age of system (hardware)? - 3/4 years at most - What is the age of OS installation (have you re-installed the OS?) 1/2 years
EDIT: I was looking through some other threads and managed to actually get some dump files and I reattached the information
My computer has been experiencing crashes daily for a while now, and I strongly suspect my power supply is the problem, but I do not have very much experience with this problem. My computer will just crash without any warning whatsoever when I play TF2, Nexuiz, or any other game for that matter. I could be playing for anywhere from 20 minutes to 3 hours and get a crash at any point in between. Who Crashed and BlueScreenView point out ntoskrnl.exe more than any other driver, but occasionally it will point out my graphics driver, lan driver, or directx itself.
ive been having real problems with BSOD even when my computer is left alone, i have already reinstalled windows 7 home premium 64bit and the BSOD has kept on happening, i have updated all my drivers to the most recent versions to the best of my knowledge. I built the system myself i have tried everything i know of.
Yesterday my computer just went into a sleep mod, after rebooting the PC the screen resolution + internet was really weird.After installing new driver for my graphic card the resolution problem was fixed. But the internet was still "broken". In the network and sharing -> adapter it's says that I'am enabled but not connected.
I've tried:
- Ping 127.0.0.1 and got "Transmit failed. General failure". - Net stock winmgmt + netsh etc. - Uninstalled the firewall. - Turned off the computer for 10 min and removed my RAM for 10 min. - Got a new network adapter. - System restore.
I have been having BSOD for a while now. It happens during extended general use, or when playing games (really only minecraft). However, when I turn the power settings to "Power saver" I do not usually get a crash (not as far as i remember anyhow). But I would rather not have to use that mode, because it makes using more than one window at a time slow, and severely impacts game performance.
Here are the Sys Specs: Windows 7 x64 Is the Original Install (however it is dual booted with Linux mint 12, but I was having the same problems before then as well); OEM version 4 gigs RAM 500gig HD
At first, I had a failing processor, and I managed to replace it, then Ireformatted my system.But then, I was receiving multiple BSODs after that, brought it to a computer store downtown, and they determined the problem as a corrupt install of Windows 7, and proceeded to reformat it themselves. I assume they also updated all the drivers, but I'm not sure. And just now, my computer won't wake up after sleeping, I've received a BSOD in the middle of playing TF2, started up the computer again, another BSOD while starting TF2, start up again, about to google a few things, and another BSOD.Windows 7 64 bit, originally Windows 7 64bit as well, this is the 2nd reformat.The hardware itself is about 1.5 years old, except a replacement processor, which is about 1 or 2 months old.
i recently upgraded my system with a new graphics card and ssds, and a new psu. i installed windows 7 x64, and now i've had 2 bsods within 24 hours. the first one occured while i was playing deus ex: human revolution. the error was 0x0000003b and the faulty file was dxgmms1.sys. i reinstalled the graphics drivers and it hasn't shown up anymore. now, i was installing gta iv and watching a video on Internet, and got another bsod, this time with error 0x000000be. i can't seem to isolate this problem. i've attached the files in the zip archive. also, i think its worth mentioning that the when i installed windows, i used a 32bit driver for the ssd raid 0 array since windows wouldn't take the 64 bit driver because it wasnt signed(although the driver did have the signature file on the disk). after the installation finished, windows automatically updated the raid driver.
I recently obtained a number of large video files. They have several different file types (file extensions). Among those types are:
.AVI .MKV .MPG .MPE .MP4 .WMV
There are other types as well.I'd very much like to perform some simple editing on these files. The most common editing operation is to extract or "split" a large file into several smaller component files. In other words, each of thse large files contain several small files - all strung together.For example, there may be 4 or 5 video clips in each file. Instead of creating one file for each "clip", the person who created these files just concatenated them all together in one file.So, I'd like to "split" each of these clips out of the single file and create a number of separate files - one for each clip.In addition, I would very much like to be able to convert files of one type to another type.I don't know a lot about the attributes of the various file types. I've read about them in Wikipedia and so I know a lttle about the reasons these file types were created and what the various differences are among them. The main reason that I'd like to convert most of these files to a single file type is that I consider it kind of sloppy to leave these files in there original file types.I have used the app Irfanview in the past to perform similar conversions on "still" files such as .JPEG or .GIF files.
1) How easy or difficult is it to convert video files from one type to another?
2) Should I expect to find one app that can do both editing and conversions? Or should I expect to get several different apps - some to convert files and some to edit files?
i am using windows 7 and after a moth later my internet connection is getting too slow i cant load a single page . some times it will take five six minutes to load one page . and some times page cannot load . but if i restart my PC it will OK some times but within 20 minutes again same thing is happening ...
When I use IE9 to browse the internet it sometimes is very slow. I have run an internet speed test program [URL] which hangs when testing IE9. I then started Chrome and the internet browsing was fast. I ran the speed test program and the speed was what I expected. I switched between IE9 and Chrome to access certain web pages and perform the speed test and in EVERY case browsing with IE9 was unbelievable slow while Chrome was very fast. I cleared the browser history file, check the register for errors. Even as I write this problem on Chrome the IE9 is still trying to access this forum.
I want to create a user in Windows 7 who can only surf the net and can't do anything else. I dont want this user to do anything other than using internet explore.
For the past few months I've been having an issue where every 15-30 minutes my laptop will "stall" while browsing the web. I'll get a "waiting for [URL], etc message at the bottom left corner of the browser when it's stalling until it eventually times out and tells me it can't load the page.This issue occurs with every browser I try (IE, Chrome, Firefox). After a couple minutes, everything comes back to normal and I can continue wasting time on the internet until the next hiccup.
My set up is:
A Gateway NV57H58U Intel Core i5-2430M Windows 7 Comcast digital cable A Belkin Wireless router A PS3
At first I assumed it was the router since it's a couple years old and was cheap when I bought it back then.The only thing that makes me think differently is that when I'm using the PS3 I never experience a break in connection. I can play a game online for 3-4 hours without any crashes or stutters.Also, while the internet is stalling out there is never a disconnect from the router - it always says it's connected and the signal strength is always "Excellent."
My little girl has started browsing the internet using Google mostly for school homework etc. Obviously it is impossible to spend every second of my time watching what she is doing. Although I check through the browser history I am very mindful that she may click on a site and see images I don't want her to see. What is the best way to make sure these sites are blocked or the chances of it happening are severely reduced?.
At my home network my pc runs just nicely. But today I moved it to my friends place and for some reason all surfing is really slow, like google.com takes up to 30-40 seconds to load.Using my laptop computer it loads in about a second on the same network.I am on a 4mb/500kb connection and nothing else is using the network.It doesn't matter if I use a cable to connect to the router or a wireless usb thingie.Speedtest and download speeds are just fine, but surfing around on internet pages is very slow.Hardware is a I7 at 3.9Ghz, 4GB ram, plenty of free diskspace.Router is a netgear cvg824g and all settings there looks normal.OS is windows 7 64bit all updated, all drivers updated too.Monitoring the network I can see almost no traffic.Under network properties I have disabled all but the TCP/IPv4 options.
