I've had two recent BSOD's this month. My HP Pavillion Elite Core i7, 750GB, 8 GB, is 2 1/2 years old. Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit. Prior to the BSOD's, I have recently installed Office 365, and am using Lync and Sharepoint. I've also recently hooked up a new Western Digital External 2TB, USB 2.0/3.0 to back up my data using Windows Backup. I have not left the external drive connected.
View 1 RepliesThis is on a recent clean install. I've run memtest86 10 passes with no errors, ran a system scan, and checked both hard drives with the integrated windows software. DriverAgent says I have only one outdated driver.
SF Diag Tool zip should be attached.
Over the past week or so, I've begun getting the BSOD on wake-up from extended periods in Sleep mode. The code is 0x00000007a, which I'm told is a fairly bad sign regarding the hard drive. Not sure what's going on, since my boot drive is an SSD and my storage drive is a Samsung HDD. Fairly recent build, home build about 3 months ago. Only prior instance of BSOD was when I had VirtualCloneDrive installed. Here's the exact problem report:
[code]...
I just built this computer around the 1st of August this year. It's my second self-built PC and came together without issue. However, I started having blue screens about once a week since maybe the 2nd day after I first ran it. Every single blue screen seems to be linked to the video card drivers crashing. Usually the drivers will crash and successfully recover as stated by the helpful little message at the bottom right.When the display drivers crash, I'm usually in a game of TF2, League of Legends, or even in Mozilla Firefox. The screen will freeze, sound will continue, and after 15 seconds or so go black for 2-3 seconds then go back to normal. The display driver crashing has happened TOO MANY TIMES TO COUNT and seems almost entirely random. Sometimes it will crash 3-4 times in the span of a half hour in League of Legends and sometimes it can go several days with no crash and the same amount of activity on the computer.
I've tried everything I could possibly find on the internet and from friends in terms of troubleshooting the display drivers crashing. I've diagnosed my memory, updated drivers, tried older driver versions, updated everything Windows has recommended, checked temperatures constantly... I'm starting to wonder if all of these issues could possibly be linked to insufficient dedicated memory on the video card? It says 1 GB on the box but when I check in system information it says around 750 MB... which sounds dangerously low to me.One more thing... the blue screens have happened 4 times so far, the last happened about an hour ago and the computer has been sluggish since, I can't even use Firefox due to how painfully slow it works now.
I upgraded my pc components and now it will not start at all. As far as I can see all the bios settings are correct. On first start up a message come up first saying no disks found, then when I click onto the bios menu i have AHCI mode enabled and it detects SSD and CD drive absolutely fine. First I tried booting from original SSD with windows 7 already installed. Kept getting BSOD every time I get to windows loading screen.
Then after reading on forums people were re-installing windows back on to the SSD, but when trying to boot from the cd drive(yes its a bootable disc) nothing happens and it just goes to the windows repair screen then does nothing after attempting to repair. i have tried removing the SSD so only the cd drive is visible but then it comes up with the message "reboot and select proper boot device or insert boot media in selected boot device and press any key"
I have removed graphics card and tried on board graphics.
I have tried barebones.
I have tried new cables.
I have cleared Cmos + update

View 6 Replies View RelatedWhen i game the game will freeze sound still plays but mouse everything locks up. Have to warm reboot. Other times it goes to black screen, and still have to warm reboot. I had this problem starting a year ago. At that time i did mem test, cpu stress test, gpu stress test, all came back fine. Back then it use to reboot itself. So, i figured maybe a psu issue, it was still under warranty so i sent it off, they did find a bad capacitor and replaced! Cool no a month after getting it back started doing as mentioned above. So, at that time i had a 8800GTX 1.5 gig video card in it. So, i spent the money and went to a Geforce 560 GTX 2 gig, eventhough i had stressed tested the 8800. Ok so a week or so went by all good then it started up again. Only has it locked up once while not gaming. Always locks on WOT(world of tanks unless i use the older 275 nvidia driver) DIdnt use to lock up with Diablo III, TSW, SWTOR, SCII. Untill recently sometimes its once or twice a night others its 3 or 6 times. I ran a Mem test a week ago ran for 9 plus hours no errors.
View 6 Replies View RelatedHad this issue a few weeks ago, couldn't fix it. I got fed up and reformatted thinking that would solve a driver issue...but the problem persisted. I finally resorted to swapping out my ATI 6870 to an NVidia 8800 and the problem ceased...for awhile. Now it happens once or twice a day, only while gaming or some other intensive process. I do not know what to do.

View 5 Replies View Relatedyesterday i started receiving a bsod while i was playing diablo3. i was having no issues with the game, everything was running fine and all of a sudden the screen froze and the sound got stuck so to speak. after a few minutes i then received a bsod. i rebooted the computer and went back to playing. i received another bsod. i looked on the diablo3 forums and saw that this was an issue that was affecting a lot of players. but before this day i had been playing the game fine for hours at a time for at least 5 days. i saw that the graphics drivers may be causing an issue so i made sure that they were up to date. i still received the bsod after 20-40 minutes of playing. i tried reverting to old drivers and still received the bsod. i tried uninstalling the game and re-installing and still received the bsod. i decided to try a different game and after about 30 minutes of that game my computer crashed. both of the games are made by blizzard so i thought it might be an issue with them. however, i have never received an error before when playing the second game, which i have been playing for a year or so on this computer.i then tried watching a video on Internet and after about 23 minutes it froze and i got the bsod. i tried one more time to watch another video and this time i lasted almost an hour before it crashed. i decided to let my computer sit with nothing on the screen for almost 2 hours. when i went to open the internet it didn't seem to respond and just hung with the blue busy wheel. i was not able to open any program. i did ctrl+alt+del and got a black screen followed by a box that read "failure to display security and shut down options". i then had to turn the computer off by the power button.my computer doesn't seem to be writing dump files even though i have enabled them to be saved. im not sure how to remedy that. i have tried updating my graphics drivers and reverting to old ones. i have done a memtest and no problems were detected. i monitor my temps and it never seems to get anywhere close to overheating.i have never had a problem with this computer until yesterday. the only major things that have changed is that i downloaded diablo3 on the 25th (though i didnt start receiving the bsods until the 30th) and i have recently moved so i have a new router and internet connection.

I built a computer about 2 weeks ago. Since then I've gotten random restarts/freezes/BSOD.At first I wasn't getting any minidumps. Figured that out (had to change some settings so it'd write them)Then I figured out my MOBO had my RAM at 11-11-11-28 when it was supposed to be 9-9-9-24. Since then, no random restarts but now freezes (with sound looping) or BSOD (never writting a mini dump except this one time)So. Symptoms: It usually happens during gaming. Either Minecraft or Realm of a Mad God. It will either BSOD out on me or Just freeze with (if sound is playing) sound looping. It's completely random. Sometimes it won't do it for hours. The last time (the time it actually gave me a minidump log) I had the computer on maybe 10 minutes and it BSOD while playing Realm of a Mad God.

I have been getting the BSOD or the screen freezes at every boot up of the computer. Haven't been doing much on my computer except gaming and work.Ran the memtest and it came out alright.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm getting regular BSODs whilst gaming and occasionally whilst running other applications, with the code 0xA0000001. I have listed my specs and attached the ZIP file as requested by the forum. I'm running an overclocked system (4.8Ghz), but I've taken it off to see if it's the source of the BSODs and that doesn't help. I've used DriverMax to update my drivers.
View 2 Replies View RelatedMy system has been getting random Blue Screens while I play games. It's completely random. I may go a full day without a crash, or it may happen 2 or 3 times in a few hours. It's happened on multiple games, but only while gaming. I read on a forum entry that Daemon tools, can cause this, and have uninstalled it. It seemed to fix it, but then it just happened again recently. It has primarily happened while playing Fallout 3 and the Path of Exile Beta, but those have really been the only 2 games I've been playing recently. System specs are:

I have recently installed Windows 7 RC and was happily using the recent items to access a particular mp3 I use often. Now, for some reason, Recent Items on the Start Menu only seems to display links to documents and saved web pages. It will not store the mp3 I use or any piece of music for that matter. I'm assuming it won't display media items in general.
View 5 Replies View RelatedA couple of days ago I did something really stupid: I tried to download a game for free by following a tutorial which required me to install a Babylon toolbar from an ad. It didn't work, so I uninstalled all the babylon stuff and scanned my computer with Avira and Ad-aware, they came up with some detections and a hidden object and removed them.After that, I bought the game instead of downloading. However, my computer now randomly freezes when playing and seems slightly slower than before. As long as I'm not gaming, my computer functions normally, but starting the game makes my computer freeze and BSOD every 2 out of 3 times. Also my computer doesn't seem to make any minidumps, even after enabling it via those settings and trying tons of other ways.

Two days ago, my system started Blue screening for the first time since I built it ~ 2 months ago. It first started happening while playing Diablo3 and streaming using the streaming software Xsplit. broadcaster, and now it has happened while Idle with nothing running ( while I slept overnight ).All windows updates are installed.Latest drivers for my video card are installed.

Bought from roommate and replaced his hard drive with a brand new hard drive (2 weeks).
He never had any issues with freezing or BSOD. We've reseated all hardware, completely removed dust, temperatures are consistently between 30 and 40 degrees Celsius, CHKDSK showed 0 bad sectors, Memtest had 0 errors, several antivirus/malware programs have come up 100% clean.
Had no issues the first week with this computer. Components are all of various ages (under 1.5 years), power source is 1250W CoolerMaster, video card is ~7 months old, memory is also ~7 months old, motherboard and processor are ~1.5 years old.
After a long time of trying to fix this problem by myself, i turn to the pro's for help I've been having a lot of BSOD errors while playing games and occasionally during browsing / playing movies on my pc. The most common error messages include:
BAD_POOL_CALLER
PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA
IRQL_NO_LESS_OR_EQUAL
Atikmdag.sys error.
After some research i thought it might be the RAM, so i went to the pc shop and my RAM was still under warranty so they gave me a new one and the problem seemed to have gone for a short time, then it came back and has been haunting me ever since. It usually occurs during gaming: the pc eithers shows a BSOD, or the sound loops and the screen is full of blue/red/green lines or it just resets. I added some minidump files of the latest crashes, hope it helps to determine the problem.Might it have something to do with my old BIOS version? 14.04 dated 28/05/2010?
I recently bought a new computer and I have been experiencing some video issues while playing videos and playing games, on videos the file plays normally until it becomes jittery with green and pink lines sometimes resulting to a crash or BSOD, after the crash theres a note on the right side of the screen that says "Display driver has stopped working and recovered etc etc, I'm not sure... This also happens on You Tube and other video sites. On games it's pretty much the same but it goes BSOD and restarts.well it does not go BSOD all the time but it does happen almost every time I play videos and play video games.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI've never had problems with this game until about a week ago. Recently it had a hard freeze that I was able to Ctrl-Alt-Delete out of and then today I was playing and I got a BSOD. I tried to send my error report, but it was taking forever so I cancelled and now can't find it. Is this my graphics card overheating? I'm not sure I'm worried just got this gaming pc in December. The BSOD said that there was a problem with the display driver.
