I read the instructions and will attach my dump files and report as a zip file. I build my system myself, but the last few weeks I keep getting BSOD.
AMD quad core
Asus motherboard
8 gb Geil memory
Asus GPU
The dump file shows ntoskrnl is the driver causing the BSOD. Another dump file says ElRawDSK causes BSOD. Both offcourse are drivers.
QX9650, quad core, task manager, cpu-z, cpu-id, shows showing only 2 two cores.I recently upgraded an Intel E8500 to a QX9650 and had the problem of Windows 7 only showing 2 of the 4 cores.It took a few frustrating hours to find the solution, but I got there in the end without the need for a Windows re-install.
1st: You must have Windows 7 Professional. Home Premium does not support more than 2 cores. Upgrade to Pro.
2nd: If Task manager and CPU-Z are only showing 2 cores, you'll be feeling pretty confused, right?
Go to Start-->Run, type MSCONFIG.Under the BOOT tab, click 'Advanced Options'.In the top left corner it says "Number of Processors" (you'll have been here already and it says '2').Uncheck this and do a reboot.This solved my hours of confusion. Now I have 4 cores in Task Manager, CPU-Z and all is well.If all this fails, then get yourself set up for an OS reinstall; that should get you where you want to be.
I'm having an issue with my CPU. It seems that it is only using one of its cores. This issue first became apparent to me when I was trying to run Blacklight Retribution. It popped up a warning message saying that my computer does not meet the minimum requirements of have at least a dual core. And indeed the game was unplayable, with single digit fps constantly. However when i go to the performance tab of my task manager it shows 4 graphs, meaning that 4 cores must be running. Then I go the boot tab of my systems configuration, click on advanced options and underneath the "Number of Processors:" check box (which is unchecked), it shows 1 as the number of processors. My processor is an Intel(R) Xeon(TM) CPU 3.60GHz (4 CPUs), ~3.6GHz.

Basically, I do a lot of video converting since I'm always sending movies/tv shows to devices like PS3, Playbook, Xbox and some other stuff. Most of the converters I've found support only single core CPU's and take an hour or so to convert, I was wondering if there are any conversion tools that support more than one core and would be much faster than standard converters?

View 8 Replies View RelatedMy system had BSOD in the past but I managed to fixed it by dusting out the computer. Since then it has been running pretty smoothly with no problem. BSOD came back several days ago and I have no idea what is causing it. This usually happen when I'm playing WOW but also when I'm sleeping, woke up in the morning and the computer restarted (wow wasn't on). I have attached the dumps and the necessary files.

I've recently just built a new rig and have experienced several BSOD's when playing BF3. The strange thing is I can sometimes play the game all day and experience no issue and then sometimes just have constant BSOD's when playing BF3 - especially when it is loading the map!My screen just goes black with an infinite sound loop and I am unable to alt + ctrl + del or anything, my computer is literally dead until I restart it..My CPU and GPU temps are fine, I mean.. I can play for up to 5 hours and the temps are still good.For instance, I was just playing the game with Fraps (see the FPS) was playing at 58 fps on ultra.. and as soon as I press F9 to start recording.. BANG.. the computer is dead, again!!I have literally tried everything; uninstalling graphics drivers, install graphics drivers, flash graphics & bios, disable sound, buy a sound card, play on low settings.. literally everything.My specs are: ASUS P8Z68-V LX MOTHERBOARD G.SKILL RIPJAWS-X 8GB(2X4)16 C9 GIGABYTE GEFORCE GTX 560TI OC Intel i5 2500k 3.3GhzCoolermaster Hyper Evo CoolerNovatech 750W ATX Power SupplyWhen I go to event viewer, it logs the BSOD as "critical", "kernal-power", with an event ID of 41.

View 1 Replies View RelatedAlright, basically whenever I play a game I have some type of problem. I usually play Starcraft 2 and it's fine, but occasionally I'll get a BSOD or my display driver will stop working. When I'm not attempting to stream my games to twitch.tv this is pretty rare, but it still happens occasionally. Whenever I run xsplit and dxtory combined with starcraft 2 and stream, I get crashes constantly. My GPU doesn't ever really go above 53c, so I don't think that's what's causing it, but I could be wrong. My display driver stopping happens with most games that are pretty intense on the computer, but, like I said, my temps don't usually get too high. I'd love to solve whatever is causing me these problems.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI 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

Sometimes I get random BSOD's, it's not something that happens every day however it's getting irritating. The last time it happend was today in Counter Strike 1.6 with the "SYSTEM_SERVICE_EXCEPTION" error. So I followed your Verifier Driver tutorial and got 2 BSOD's with IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL caused by aswTdi.sys (Avast Driver).. However I just installed Avast yesterday, and as you can see in my dmp files, I have had BSODs before with SYSTEM_SERVICE_EXCEPTION and others, so I don't think that's the main issue.Sometimes I also get BSOD while watching a movie or something with XBMC, it happens randomly, but not often.I have thought maybe it's the ATi/AMD GPU (some BSOD ref.), and I have been checking temps, it's about 60C - I have changed the thermal paste and cleaned it - but still sometimes BSOD. I have played a lot of BF3 without getting BSOD, and that's a heck a lot of more strain on the GPU than CS 1.6.
My own guess is the GPU drivers, but I have been updating regularly Btw the System Health Report says "Atheros AR9285 Wireless Network Adapter" is disabled, and that's true, I have disabled it.System Info:Windows 7 X64 Enterprise Install date: 28-08-2011Intel Core i5 2500kZotac Z68 ITX2x 4GB Corsair Vengeance DDR3 RAMClub 3D Radeon HD4980System Disk: Crucial m4 128GBStorage: 2x500GB WD, 1TB WD - 7200rpmThe hardware is from august 2011, except for SSD (june 2011), storage (2009,2010) and GPU (2009).
i'm putting up my first post with my bsod error i get. i've gotten some in the past, but i decided to learn how to figure these things out this time.details:i usually get a bsod in a random situation either playing online games or just watching live streams (twitch.tv) or even Internet videos on occasion.
View 4 Replies View Relatedi've been experiencing BSOD's pretty much consistently since i bought my computer a few months ago but i thought i'd fixed it a while back but turns out it just happens alot less frequently when playing certain games / idling on desktop / browsing internet.Games like counter strike source and ARMA 2 (playing the DayZ mod) seem to cause the BSODs pretty regularly (almost every 30 minutes) whereas i can play games like WoW with almost no troubles, until i try to stream that is, then its pretty random: sometimes i can stream for hours but other times it will BSOD with in 5 minutes.

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.

View 5 Replies View RelatedI got a random BSOD while playing League of Legends on a new custom made gaming computer, which rapidly disappeared as the computer restarted. I selected to restore (as recommended) and got the same screen but it stayed. The only information provided is an error code of 0x000000F7...I attempted to start the computer in safe mode however I still got the same BSOD.Now the computer refuses to even start with no signal output to the screen. I also tried disconnecting all usb devices (mouse, usb wifi adaptor) due to the type of error but with no success. After a long time being off (I was out helping a family member out) I came back and tried once again and it logged on fine. I proceeded to run the windows update and before I could look at the drivers and error log I got the BSOD again. Now its back to no signal/startup.
