"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]
The poblems started a few weeks ago when i upgraded the CPU and the GPU. The vendors of the components and the motherboard stayed the same. (E6550 --> E8500 and HD4850 --> HD6850)It had some crashes before but now it got realy bad so i reinstalled the system, updated MB bios, dowloaded drivers from vendor sites, updated everything and only installed basic 3rd party drivers and software.The crashes still remained they happen more often when the computer is under heavy load (3D operations, games running), but they also occur if im playing a video or just use a web browser.I ran memtest, chkdisk but nothing, then furmark and intelliburn but no effect.The remaining drivers came up clean with verifier, and i looked after anything that came up from the crashdumps but my windbg knowledge is limited.
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)
I have had my acer aspire for about 6 months and for the past 5 months this BSOD keeps happening at random times, and the symtem reboots and then restores.I have tried various methods to stop this happening - and I am now at a loss - I have tried puting hotfix on and also restoring to factory setting, i have heard about updating the bios etc but i am not great with the technical side of things.My computer came with windows 7 on it and it no disc - so how do i unistall it and then reinstall? i am hoping that i dont have to do thi however i see no other option.i should add that i contacted acer and that they have agreed to take it back and look at the hardware, however it its a software issue which i think it is - they will charge me 80 to fix it.
About a 2 month ago I built a new PC, installed a fresh copy of win 7 x64 and started getting random BSODs. It only happened once/twice a week but has started happening more requently, 5 times in the past 4 days. I've done several MemTests (both slots, single slot, different RAM in each slot) and no errors have come up. I've tried to the best of my ability to update my drivers but I may have missed something. Also, the bugchecks are not consistent (1e, 7e, 3b, ect) although 1e and 3b are the most frequent.
New to the forums and really hoping someone could help. I have been having multiple BSOD over the past few weeks at random points, sometimes under load while playing games other times just when the machine is idle or simply logging into windows..I am running 16GB of Corsair Vengeance ram (2x8GB kits, so 4x4gb sticks in total) I have run memtest overnight with all chips in, just the one set (tested both sets) and also each chip individually with no errors. I have also swapped the chips into different slots and still getting BSOD.I have checked the BIOS and all memory config and voltages are as per spec. I have also monitored my voltages from PSU and those are within the acceptable ranges. Temps have been good aswell with CPU idel at aroun 30 with a max of 65 (Core i7 2500K) GPU's are running between 30 - 80 degree's (GTX 580's in SLI)I have also tried updating drivers but still cant shake these nasty BSOD's

I have had four BSODs recently, two with error code 0xA and the two older crash dumps occurred on system sleep/resume. I do not know much about what caused the first two, they seemed to happen when I put my laptop to sleep with very low battery but haven't happened since because I've been careful to watch the battery a bit better. The third occurred while streaming a .mkv file to my PS3 with PS3 Media Server. It was about an hour into streaming when the BSOD occurred. My video card drivers were old at the time, so I upgraded them trying to fix it but obviously I haven't fixed it yet.
I also ran Memtest86+ which could find no memory errors. The most recent BSOD occurred while I was transferring some files with Filezilla. I also had Chrome open with a few tabs, but the laptop was not excessively hot or anything. The transfer had been running for about 10 minutes when the crash happened. I have attached the results of running the jcgriff2 BSOD Dump & System File collection app and system health report. More than anything, I'm worried about the most recent 2 BSODs.
The system is: Windows 7 Professional x64 MSDNAA edition Original OS installed was Windows Vista Windows 7 was installed ~1.5-2 years ago Model: Acer Aspire 6930-6942
Started getting blue screens for about a month(maybe, i cant remember cause its been so long!) now and i'm going insane because i've spent a LOT of time and effort attempting to fix the bsod's only to failim going to try and include everything i can and not miss anything important and end up looking like a noob.
ok my computer crashes and works then crashes and works. i did system restore 2 times and my issue is not resolved. plz help me. i get the equal_or_not_less error blue screen error. ive uploaded the zip file eith my dump files from the bsod posting thread on here.
i've been getting BSOD for about 2-3 weeks now since updating some drivers on my laptop and it is really annoying. I have Windows7_Vista_jcgriff2 with all the required files needed for someone to look at.

My computer just likes to crash. I haven't run into any way to repeat any of these, and there's no common factors. This has been happening for months, and I've been able to stand it until now. I'm just sick of never having a working computer. Hundreds of blue screens, at least 6 different error codes over the last 6 months. I've attached the latest few.The last problem I had with this computer was a rash of BSODs every few minutes, rendering my computer completely inoperable. It was bad caps on an old motherboard, which forced me to upgrade my mobo, CPU and RAM; that was done Sep 23 last year. I've still been getting a few lately, so I tried switching to an older hard drive I have on hand, which helped some, but didn't solve the problem completely. Here's the specs as of now.

Yes, I know, it's weird mixup of parts that could run a lot better with newer hardware. That's what happens when you take what you can get and spend money only when you have to. I don't have money to throw at this stupid thing, money is in short supply. So don't just say, "buy a brand new this, that and the other and your troubles will be over," unless that is the ONLY option to fix this. I simply can't afford it.
EDIT TO ADD:A short list of codes and associated files I've gotten in the last couple BSODs, just for quick review and in no specific order:
Because of the ntfs.sys being a common factor, I suspect the hard drives, but I'm also wondering if it's not something else,because this happens with two different drives, one IDE, the other SATA.Also, the errors below are from both drives, both with Win 7 installed. The perfmon was run on the IDE drive, as the SATA drive is too unstable to run reliably for 30 minutes.
Got a new PC couple of weeks ago and have been having problems from day 1. I am getting increasingly regular blue screens. It's not just when trying to load software, or actually do anything. It can be sitting idling and suddenly it dies on me.
Spec Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit First OS installed (new build system) System age 3 weeks OS age 3 weeks
Have been getting BSODs more and more frequently over the last week. Can't think of anything special that triggered the behaviour though. It mostly happens when the computer idles and I'm doing other stuff, and doesn't seem to relate to computer load etc.
Did a bit of digging myself and used WhoCrashed to identify Comodo Backup and Daemon Tools as possible culprits. They are both uninstalled now. Installed drivers for the bluetooth which were missing and giving an exclamation mark in device manager. After that no exclamation marks or errors there.
Today I did a full memorycheck with Memtest86+, which passed all runs.
Got another BSOD couple of hours ago (0x00000124), with no lead from WhoCrashed on the root cause so now I resort to asking the gurus.

Has since had the drive reformatted.The Operating System was a student upgrade version but is now a full retail version (I called Microsoft Support a while back)System is approximately 1 and a half years old (Graphics card only seven months) It is self-built.OS is seven months old. I reinstalled the OS MORE TIMES THAN I CAN COUNT (whatmpted me to call MS) but the BSODs persisted.AMD Phenom II X2 555 Black EditionXFX Radeon 6870 1GBASUS M4A88T-M AM3 AMD 880G XFX 550W Core Editionrus Software: Malware Bytes Anti-Malware AND MSE OFCCPU-Z Validator 3.1(For a little more information)I was receiving constant blue screens throughout the month of December, and after having replaced my HDD and RAM (which didn't fix the problem) I RMA'd my processor back to AMD. I received the new processor in early January and went a full month without any problems. As of a few days ago the bluescreens have returned in full force.At this point I'm thinking it's a problem with the motherboard. But I'm posting here to make sure before I try to RMA something again.While I wait for a reply I will run memtest and a HDD diagnostic.EDIT: Also, I think it's worth noting that motherboard does not seem to be able to provide a steady current to the Vcore. If I set the Vcore to 1.35, it will fluctuate between 1.32-1.35.
i am in dire need of some help with my pc. I am experiencing numerous BSOD issues. It started out whilst gaming with Battlefield 3 but is now happening all the time weather it be browsing the internet or just doing nothing. (If it helps firefox is crashing all the time). the computer is 10 months old and ran fine up until recently.I have had page fault, memory management, NTFS fault, bad pool, system exception.I have reviewed the forums and tried all the usual fixes, which goes along these lines:I used memtestx86 on my ram and found i had a dead stick so i purchased new 2 x 2G OZ 1333mhz, tested them for 20hrs and when they tested fine replaced the old sticks. Great i thought sorted, alas no.I removed AVG as one of the dmp files indicated it was that.nope carried out a chkdsk / r which showed no errors I removed all my nvidea drivers as they were being indicated but no its now worse than ever.I have attached the minidump files i have had over the past two days.
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.

I am continually having BSOD on my old p4 machine. I have installed BlueScreenView and SIW, and have come up with quite a few error codes and an above average cpu temp (I think).
- the original installed OS on the system? this is a built computer by myself. have had 64 bit forever on here
- 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.
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.
I never used it heavily at the start and assumed it was just a driver and that i'd figure it out later.Well; now is later and I can't figure it out.I've done a re-install of the OS (HP recovery)This system is about a year old and is an HP Pavilion dv6 laptop with AMD Phenom II N850 Triple Core @2.2 ghz 6 gig memory 64 bit Windows 7 Home Premium.
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...
I have been having an issue with this computer. Ive had it for a couple years, not to many issues until now. I randomly get a BSOD. I cannot pinpoint the cause! All drivers appear to be updated.
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.

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.
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.
