Having an issue with intermittent BSOD with no common activity. Decided to turn blue during idle, surfing the web and playing games. I am not over clocking but i do have the RAM set to what OCZ recommended, DRAM frequency to 1333Mhz, CPU/NB voltage to 1.2v, DRAM Voltage 1.65v, DRAM timings to 9-9-9-20. Currents set up is as follows.
View 11 RepliesI have a M2N68+ with a AMD AM3 215 CPU, and had all sorts of issues with CTD, and BSOD's, been pulling my hair out, finally got disgusted and pulled the RAM out and checked the QVL list and it wasn't on there, as a word of warning, if you are having problems with the stability of the system, check the QVL list and see if you have the same problem. BTW my Gigabyte board runs rock solid no matter what memory I use, this is the last ASUS MB I'll be getting for a long time.

View 8 Replies View RelatedI fitted a new hard drive and re-installed the OS for this client. After a couple of weeks it started to blue screen. At first I thought their usb wireless adapter was at fault. I removed it and everything was ok for another week or so. Then the BSODs started again.
I have tested the RAM and HDD - both fine. I have used Eurosoft PC-Check to stress test the machine and it was fine. I used the same software to test the motherboard and it passed fine. I used Prime95 64 bit to torture test the machine and again it wouldn't crash. Also I have run mbam and superantispyware and the machine is spyware free. It also has the latest video drivers installed. Typically since I brought it back to the office it has behaved impeccably in every way
System Spec:64 bit- I built the machine August 2010, I have not reinstalled the OS since. Full Retail Version of Windows 7.I have been experiencing problems with this machine since about a month after I built it in August 2011. At first I would get a BSOD just every once in a while. I am at architecture school and I didn't have time to address the issue, so I just kept a diligent written log of every time I noticed it happening. I have included that as an attachment. You'll notice that there was not an obvious trigger - it would not crash as soon as I opened something, or as soon as I tried to use the sound card. It would happen both while I was working in Adobe Illustrator, and when I left my computer idle to go grab a cup of coffee or something like that. I have included all the dump files I have as attachments.Recently, however, Windows has had trouble resuming. I can't figure out exactly what is happening because it hasn't happened while I was at my computer yet. But, pretty much every time I return to my computer after a 10 minute absence, I come back to a black screen with a blinking white underscore in the top left corner. I think it has something to do with the machine going to sleep and having trouble resuming windows.
Another clue, which I've researched a little bit, is that I think I heard a single beep the other day. Granted, I'm in a studio with 50 other people and there are cellphones, headphones tons of computer and all kinds of noise, but I'm sure enough about what I heard to include it here. The forums I checked suggested this was a problem with the RAM.Here is a list of the components from the NewEgg invoice:
[code]...
OS: Windows 7 Home Premium x64
i7-2600K CPU @ 3.40 Ghz
OEM
8Gb RAM
Asus P8P67Pro
Harware & software build around 6 months old
BIOS, Windows updates and Driver updates applied regularly.
A couple of weeks ago i had a BSOD. Since, when trying to boot, most of the time my monitor turns ON, OFF, ON, OFF, etc...for some time, very rarely leading to a successful boot. No problem accessing Recovery options or BIOS.sometimes (very rarely), it does boot up normally.I have tried everything i can think of (with my limited knowledge).
When installing windows 7 Home Edition 64bit, my computer finishes the "Copying Windows files" in 1 second, and then goes off to the "Expanding Windows files" part. Once it is at 50%(every time), my computer says an error code and a message about corrupt files ect(Error code: 0x80070570). I have been struggling after trying to format my desktop for a clean install of Windows 7 Home Edition 64bit. changing modes from SATA to AHCI, cancelling the install and without rebooting restart the install, and putting down the graphics to 640x480. It has been quite a pain and ruined my weekend and I was hoping that someone else could propose a new solution since nothing has worked. Instead of using a cd, I am using a USB(changing boot priority in the bios to USB, changing the USB to NTFS format ect...), since I currently do not have a SATA CD reader. P.S: The specs of my computer if needed will be posted below:Intel Core i3 540@3.07Ghz eVGA P55v SLI 2x2GB OCZ Platinum DDR3-1600 9-9-9-24 1.35V Dual Channel Palit Sonic GTX 260 Western Digital Caviar Black 500GB 7200RPM 32MB Dual Proc SATA BIOS v02.67?
View 1 Replies View RelatedExperienced PC users know that not every operating-system upgrade goes smoothly--but that bit of understanding does little to offset the annoyance we feel when we're faced with seemingly unresolvable installation problems. Windows 7 has presented some users with a few serious upgrade bugs of its own. Don't worry: We'll explain how to exterminate them.
Before beginning your Windows 7 upgrade, attach your PC directly to your router via a wired ethernet connection. This will ensure that Windows 7 has a chance to download the latest installation updates directly from Microsoft at the outset of the upgrade process. By the time you read this article, it's possible that Microsoft will have created a fix for some of the following upgrade bugs, so your first step in any upgrade scenario should be to make sure that you have a wired Internet hookup to your PC from the start.

I have been getting Windows Shell Common DLL crashes when accessing and modifying properties in my Sound Panel. (I recently connected my SPDIF out to my receiver;I've also been having trouble getting my headphones to work again, but that's another problem) It's shown up in my Reliability Monitor and I've had the "Critical Event" "Windows Shell Common Dll" "Stopped Working" and it has reduced my reliability score from 10 to about 2. When I "Check for a solution" it says there aren't any available. I've checked all drivers and they are up to date. Any idea how to fix this? I've done alot of searching, and all i could find was one guy dl'ing a new SFComm64.dll file and replacing it in his system, which he said worked, but Windows 7 saw as a security threat (?). So, I'm not quite sure what to do - do I try and dl a new SFComm64.dll file? And if so, where do I dl from?
View 12 Replies View RelatedI have a custom gaming pc I made myself, it has worked fine for about 2 years, recently I updated my mobo, psu, and cpu and I also got some ram, and about 2 months later my pc started freezing randomly during playing games or other common use. I found out the new ram I had got was dead, so I took it out and it worked fine no freezes for about a month, now it started freezing again, I got brand new ram today and installed it and it still freezes. Its pretty random, I can go a hour some times and others 5 min of playing a game of whatever. I think it might be a hdd issue, I have a ssd as my boot drive and a 1 tb drive for just steam and games, and a third hdd for programs. I defrag the 2 hdds every so often.

I know that this is a small issue but I'm concerned that it might continue to grow. As I have updated a number of drivers and other programs since then I am reluctant to hit the restore button and loose half a day of work. Can I simply "repair" Windows shell and go on?I ran (as administrator) sfc/scannow and if found no integrity errors. I also ran Control Panel / Action Center / Maint / Review Reliability and found no issues

I had a file that had that open with format, I mistakenly changed it to a Windows Media Player format, and now can not change it back.I was thinking that I may have to reinstall the shell32.dll itself, but I saw the file on my computer. So maybe I should just find it in the Browse folder directory, then click okay and it's fix. Not sure completely where it is located or if that will work.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have been experiencing very frequent BSOD recently for about the past month or two, increasing in frequency over the past week or so.
It seems to occur mostly during the times that I play games like tf2 on steam, but it has occurred simply during times when I was using steam or closing it.I have installed a program called Blue-Screen View so I have all the information for my crashes, the BSOD that seems to occur the most (7 out of 15 times) is Memory Management.

Second behavior, I think since last week, my activity led is pulsing every second and my main drive never seems to go to sleep while my three others do. This is bugging me deeply as I have no idea what exactly is goign on the system.There is NO viruses, NO malware. Windows has been reinstalled from scrath on fresh formatted partion. I've tried to boot the system in diagnotstic mode with the same issue. I do not know what is the problem but I find it very unpleasant.An other test I did, disconnect the RAID entirely and the pulsing continue.Do anyone of you have any idea of what's going on? Are both problem related somehow? Could it be a windows patch causing all of this as it started not so long ago while is was running perfectly before?
Came at work, the computer was working (it has been working 24/24 second week already) everything was fine, the internet was working no issues, but decided to restart because my Antivirus (NIS 2011) crashed and there was no icon on taskbar, after restart my network was dead, but there was network port activity (as you can see in the screen), what I tried:1. Disabled/Enabled the network2. Restarted in safe mode with networking3. Removed for about 20 seconds the power cable4. Removed/Added the Network from Device manager (with "remove driver" option)5. Downgraded to another driver from May 20116. Tried another cable7. Tried another port in the switch8. Changed from Automatic to Manual in Network Settings (added IP)9. Used the Diagnose utility (it said something wrong with the Driver) after this I downgraded to another driver and nothing changed10. Logged with another username11. All services related to network are started.All the above didn't solved my problem, what's wrong ? I really can't understand - I'm a SysAdmin myself but I never had a issue like this that I couldn't solve!
