New Windows 7 Random Black Flicker And BSOD
Aug 20, 2012
I installed Windows 7 on my computer (Upgraded from windows xp) and everything seems well. However, at random times it (sometimes it flickers black) goes into BSOD then restarts again to windows,,the DMP shows different kind of problems like:
Memory Management Failure "IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL" System Service Exception
I recently bought two 2gb ddr2RAM and I am now using it.

I had this problem when I was just neutrally browsing through the internet when my screen just immediately flickered black, not for very long only about 1 second at the most, and my theme changed. I didn't really know what happened, so just kept browsing. I was browsing for about 20 more minutes and the same thing happened again, but this time it changed back. Recently just installed a new video card in my system, and have all the updated drivers, however, I wen't to CPUID to check the temps. of my system and my video card was pulling some numbers I haven't seen it do at this kind of browsing. My graphics card was about 67C and during regular web browsing it is usually around 30-35C. Is this a problem with Windows? Or is it a problem with my Graphics Card?

I would get a random black screen while playing an online game on my laptop (this happens randomly but usually 15-30mins after starting Windows and start playing the game). After the black screen appeared, it would automatically reboot to this windows error recovery page with options to go into safe mode (networking/command prompt) or just boot windows normally.I chose to boot Windows normally but after getting into Windows 7 and started playing a while, a random BSOD would appear. It has happened for 2-3 days straight. The attached is the mini dump.
Note: I did not install anything new to my laptop, I have ran chkdsk and sfc /scannow and found nothing.I have no idea what caused the black screen and the BSOD.

Been having some crashes.At first they occurred on start up. Claiming the computer wasn't properly shut down. Now today, the other crashes started, with the first happening out of nowhere, the second happening upon starting a video game. I've been without crashes for a while now, only having used my browser(Opera) and copying some files to an external hard drive. As well as the SF tool.I only have 2 dump files available. SF tool file should be in attachments, unless I made a mistake somewhere

I reformatted my computer multiple times, yet my computer seems to BSOD randomly.What happenes is that everything becomes unresponsive; cant alt+tab, cant ctrl+alt+del etc etc. everything freezes randomly... then boom, BSOD. its happened twice, with no apparent pattern.And then, when it restarts, it tries booting but then it goes into the boot selection screen and my SSD is nowhere to be found. I have to power off then power on again for it to boot up and log in.

- an OEM or full retail version? oem
- What is the age of system (hardware)? memory is about 2 years old everything else is about 5 years old
- What is the age of OS installation (have you re-installed the OS?) os was installed a few months ago.attached is the info that was requested. these blue screens happen at completely random times. could be during boot up. could be just sitting in sleep and blue screen.

A couple weeks ago I started having random BSOD and restarts, I have researched several different solutions to no avail. At one point, I thought the problem was solved after restoring a restore point, however, the dreaded BSOD is back after a couple of days.
- Restored the earliest restore point
- Ran chkdsk with no errors
- Ran full scan AV (just in case) using MSSE.
- Updated all Windows and drivers updates.
I believe this is related to a driver issue, however, I'm not sure which one.Attached is both the BSOD App and System Health data.
Basic specs:
- Windows 7 x64
- Original Install
- OEM
- System age: 6 months
- OS install age: 6 months (not reinstalled)

This started happening last night while i was playing Borderlands 2, it has happened at idle, playing just about any game in my library, during downloads and just browsing the web. I changed all of my accessible drivers, and it continued to happen, so i moved all of my personal files onto my external HDD. I re installed windows on my SSD (did not reformat) and reformatted my HDD. I re installed my drivers, re-enabled SLI and it ran fine for about an hour, just downloading WoW, and then happened again twice.

When I'm using my computer I tend to get a black screen at random times. So far they usually occur while I'm browsing the web and while I'm playing games while on Skype. This happened before and the problem was that I needed a new DVI cable. After getting it fixed it was working fine until about a week ago where I started getting few crashes. Now I'm getting 1 crash everyday.There are times where I go to start my computer, but after the Windows logo I am left with a black screen. I usually keep restarting my computer until it turns on normally. I don't know why but I have a hunch that it might be PSU, temperature, or compatibility problems.I'm not sure if I've attached everything you need, so do let me know if I'm missing anything.

In the last few weeks I've had random Black Screens Of Death. It can happen (most of the time) while playing a game, but it has happened while the PC was idle (rare) and just now it happened as I was attempting to refresh the Win 7 performance index. Most of the time, the screen goes black (complete video signal loss) and I have to hard reset. On the rare occasion it will go black, then after a while crash and dump. The last minidump file I got is included here. It seems fairly obvious that the issue is video related but I can't tell if it's the ATI drivers or a 3rd party driver causing havok with them.I've been trying, with zero success, to get some Driver Verifier output. Once I set Driver Verifier to check the 3rd party drivers it bluescreens during the Windows 7 splash screen and then reboots and loops. What I did do was hit F8 during one of the loops and stopped it from rebooting on error so I could capture the detail of the bluescreen. It's as follows:
Stop 0x0000001E (0xFFFFFFFFC0000005, 0xFFFFF80003AD4D56, 0x0000000000000000, 0x0000000000000000).
I can't tell if this issue is related to my black screen issue.I think the issue is driver related but can't prove it at this point and I'm having difficulty interpreting the addresses above.I've run memtest for a couple of hours and no errors came up.

My computer has these phases when it crashes about 5-10 times a day with the same way. The monitor turns black and GPU coolergoes to 100%. Only thing I can do is hard reset the computer. I finally managed to get a bluescreen about it.

Lots of issues with WMM on Windows 7. Among them, for no apparent reason random clips turn black and an "!" is shown where the clip was.Any way to install earlier version of WMM on Windows 7?

I was getting some random BSOD's when I started using my desktop PC again a couple weeks ago. It has fairly new components and I update the drivers regularly. I tried all I could to diagnose the dmp files and fix it myself, but after many continued BSOD's I gave up, wiped my drive, and re-installed Windows. After recieving yet another BSOD after my re-install, I booted Memtest to check my RAM and it passed 7 times looping with no errors. Since then I have recieved another BSOD for a total of two since my wipe yesterday. I am running Win 7 64-bit OEM which like I said, I re-installed yesterday. I am re-booting out of safe mode to post my 'perfmon /report' because it apparently can't be done in safe mode.
Edit: I attached the perfmon report. It must have incorrectly analyzed my components because it says that they are all rated at zero. I re-did it and it did the same thing so I don't know what to think of that...

black screen usually no errors just a black screen sound will lag and freeze up have to hard reset it no blue screens usually here is the latest mini dump file.
this is the latest mini dump file most the time my comp never blue screens just hangs black so i never knew there was mini dump files still coming in and i have a bunch of those but this is the latest one.
had a driver issue a while back was getting blue screens from it but i completely erased it out of drivers folder and win32 drivers folder which was locked but i used a reg editor here that made it possible to take ownership of a folder and then i completely deleted it out of my system so i think.

My systems sometimes freezes during the boot process and all I get is black screen.
This happens when the error occurs:
BIOS shows up normally
Window 7 logo is shown for a brief second
black screen
With boot details enabled, I see that drivers are getting loaded until classpnp.sys. After that the screen goes black as well and the system hangs.
Now when I turn on the machine, I get a text screen asking me whether to start normally or run a recovery attempt. Usually starting normally is all it takes and Windows boots up fine. Once Windows is up and running, it's rock solid. No lockups, no BSODs or whatsoever.
Unfortunately I have no idea how to get debug details of this part of the boot process (os loader phase?).
I already switched the SATA Ports, switched to a different brand and even switched to mSATA. So I'm pretty sure it's not the SSD. Using Windows SATA drivers or Intel RST doesn't make a difference either btw.
Hardware :
Motherboard : Intel DN2800mt, latest BIOS (156)

My dell computer screen flashes black for a half a second or a second at random intervals (anywhere from once a minute to every couple of seconds), but the system has not frozen, as I can continue to type, music keeps playing, etc. I found a site which suggests that it is my AC socket or adapter, but the same problem exists on battery power.

I've recently built a new PC of which I've had to replace the motherboard already due to it being faulty. Since installing the new motherboard, re-installing all components and re-installing Win 7 on my SSD, I've been getting random BSOD's 1-2 times per day, bug check code 1e. My computer will not go in to sleep mode either without a BSOD - albeit a different bug check code: 0a. I had no such problems on my old board leading me to believe it is a motherboard issue, albeit I'm trying to verify this in order to be able to RMA it if needed.
PC Specs: All running at stock settings
Windows 7 Ultimate x64
Intel i7 2600k 3.4Ghz (1155)
Gigabyte Z68X-UD3H-B3 (F10)
Corsair Sport 4x4GB (16GB) DDR3 RAM
ZOTAC nVidia GeForce 560 GTX
On board sound
OS hard drive: Crucial M4 256GB
2nd, 3rd drives: WD 500GB WD5000AAKS-00YGA0
4th drive: SAMSUNG HD204UI 2TB
The BSOD just happens randomly for no apparent reason. There is nothing in event viewer indicating what the problem could be.

I have been struggling with this for some time so I will try to describe everything I've done to date. I have: Windows 7 Professional 64 Bit The hardware is under 2 years old. I have recently re-installed the OS but the trouble predates that. Since last June, I have been receiving BSOD's after the Post but during Starting Windows screen.They all seem to revolve around "ntoskrnl.exe" and my WhoCrashed program has consistently indicated its a driver issue. So I started peeling back the layers.I took out the SLI'd second video card. Still happened, I uninstalled Norton, still happened. I ran the RAM diagnostic tool, everything came back clean. It hit a spike recently and I RMA'd my motherboard. That was a week ago. I installed Windows on a brand new hard drive to mitigate variables. It worked great for 2 days then today, BAM, my first BSOD since the rebuild. This BSOD is consistent with the ones I was receiving before the rebuild. It seems to be random, I can go a week with no BSOD, and then BSOD repeatedly for the next several days. I'm slowly being driven insane little by little. I have used the UniBlue driver scanner and it tells me everything is up to date except for the Marvell Driver which is a raid controller and a controller that I have nothing plugged into. I did not install that this most recent build. Could it be a RAM problem? A BIOS issue? I am not a pro at the BIOS configuration but it doesn't "feel" like that's the problem since it consistently boots, etc.Anyway, I put myself at the forum's mercy.

My computer has a msi 648 max which is old, but still works. It has 2 G of ddr ram by Kingston. The chipset is sis 648. When the os was xp. I did not remember I even had one bsod. I upgraded the os to windows 7 ultimate. Since then, I got bsod from time to time. It does not matter whether I am actually using the computer or it sits idle showing only the wall paper. All the drivers used are the microsoft default drivers. Only the video and the network card drivers are from the manufacturers, designed for windows 7. I do not have other devices plugged into the pci slots. The video card is a agp card. I attach two zipped files for you to review.

"2 years ago I built my own PC, and every component was brand new, except my hard drive (which I got a new one shortly after). I installed Windows 7 and everything was going great during the install until my computer BSOD. I think to myself "Ok..." but the computer restarts successfully and I just shrug it off in the typical "Oh Windows..Jump to a few months later. I start having BSOD every few start ups, until it eventually got to where it was more often that not. The odd thing was, it would only BSOD during startup, and once it was up, it ran like a champ. So my lazy solution was just usually put my computer on standby. Well, then comes a day when I have to restart my computer for some program or driver installation, and the computer never comes back on. Try to use Startup Repair on the Recovery Disk, but to no avail. I suspected my RAM, so I swapped it out with another (compatible) set I had available. Unfortunately, the computer would never start up. It would literally not power up. So I ended up replacing the motherboard. Now my computer starts up fine, and my computer seems to be normal until.The BSOD soon returns, and I suspect that it could be a software issue. I reinstall Windows. This seems to fix the problem... for a little while. A few short weeks later the problem returned. I am severely frustrated at this point. I can't get Windows to boot more than 1 out of 20 start ups. I start running diagnostics. CHKDSK, memtest86, Seagate's Hard drive tools. Eventually it gets to where Windows won't start at all. What's worse, the recovery disk won't even boot. If I'm correct, this means that it can't be a hard drive issue?
I had a copy of Ubuntu available, and I install that on a small partition I hadn't used yet. It boots some of the time. Other times, it has issues as well.if I've replaced the motherboard, run Memtest86 with no errors, and am unable to boot to the recovery CD, does that mean that it is my processor at fault? From what I researched, processor defects are rather uncommon, and usually due to over heating (and I have a pretty substantial cooling system). The other thing that's niggling my brain is that my computer can run sometimes. For instance, I'm typing this on Ubuntu right now. If the processor is messed up, how is it running this at the moment?"I put my SATA drive (the original) in a different, working computer and it wouldn't start up either. So I switched to a different IDE hard drive and formatted it and installed Windows. It works for a few runs before it stops working completely and now no matter what I cannot get into Windows. Safe mode doesn't work. It crashes on the boot CD. Some (but not all) of my BSOD are actually green, but I don't know if that means anything special. [code]

BSODS while on desktop or playing BF3, ME3, SWTOR etc. Clean install of Win 7 results are still the same. I didnt save the dumps pre reinstall so I cant say if they are identical but they do seem the same.
Ive tried to follow the steps for posting here but the link for the BSOD Dump & System File Collection app is non-existent.
Ive attached the dump files (eventually got them to zip...bloody Windows 7 admin pain). If anyone could have a quick look and give an idea of where the problem might be. I going to swap the ram with some other crucial sticks i have to see if that changes anything.
Ive viewed them through the windows debugging tool but still doesn't mean much to me and I can see any clear reference that I can follow up.

I've just recently started getting BSODs just after signing into windows and then at random after restarts. Sometimes after a BSOD my monitor says it cannot detect a HDMI signal even though the computer is on and the wire is plugged in. After I switch the computer off and on the display shows as normal. Sometiimes after a BSOD and I restart the computer windows doesn't load at all and just remains on a black screen with no HDD activity.The BSOD also tends to come when I start Lord of the Rings online. I had this problem before (about 8 months ago) and I replaced the graphics card, power supply, full reinstall of windows and it went away.I've run memtest64, windows mem test, chkdsk, and the buit in Dell diagnostics and they all showed nothing.I thought it could be my ASUS graphics card as I read other peope had had problems with its driver, so I removed that and it made no difference.I have run a fully updated Malwarebytes and McAfee Security Centre and they show nothing.

I recently bought some new ram *about a week ago* and since then I have been getting random BSOD's, but I'm not totally sure that its actually the ram as most of the time the PC runs just fine, mostly the BSOD's happen when I just turn on the PC from it being off *a cold start ?*.
System:
PII 955BE @ 3.9GHz
12GB DDR3 Cas 8 1600MHz (1 set of 2 x 2GB and another set of 2 4GB all running at v1.5 8-8-8-24-2T and Auto in the Bios)
Gigabyte HD4890OC
ASRock 990FX Extreme
I'm going to run memtest later tonight and see what that brings up and I'm going to check my system drivers etc, I'd just like some input from the community on this issue . I'm hoping its not my motherboard .
