Recurring BSOD Just After Login Or Within First Half Hour Of Usage
Feb 1, 2012
My 2 year old HP DV3610ae Laptop keeps giving me a BSOD. It's a Core2Duo T6400 2.0 Ghz with 4Gb DDR2 Ram. Usually its a IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL, but I have seen other errors and some times it just restarts without BSOD and no memorydump is then generated. It is usually just after login, but lately the BSOD is coming within the first half hour. I have done a clean install with Windows 7 Enterprise and the problem is still there.
I have done memtest and prime95 for several hours with no problem in fail safe mode. Also no problem with chkdsk. Fail safe mode never crashes, only normal login. Have removed DVD drive. Still BSOD. There is no new hardware installed. Have had "gcswf32.dll stopped working" fault in safemode and normal mode when running chrome browser. Only windows defender and firewall is installed.
At this point i knew exactly what had gone wrong and had a major panic attack, i thought i had lost all my precious files, which i had no backup of. Then i remembered when i first got the computer i had to burn something called Acer eRecovery manager to 3 CDs. I then loaded the CD via the Boot Menu, and from there chose to restore my system but still retain user data (rather than restore to factory settings). the 2 and a half hour procedure, i found that all of my documents had been saved. I immedietly rushed to the store and bought a external hard drive and backed up all of my documents.
Now, moving on to the problem. Well it actually a very easy problem to describe. My new computer is now 50x slower than what it used to be, and im not even exaggerating. When i first got the Computer it loaded in 20 seconds, now it takes half an hour. Before this happened, when i used to click on internet explorer it came up instantly, now when i click on it it takes a minute or so. The problem is that i literally just bought this computer, and it cost me alot of money. It worked brilliantly fast when i first got it, now after this my old laptop is even better than it.[CODE]
I have been running xp 32 and 64 bit on my desktop for a few years now. I installed Windows 7 64-bit in November and found that I was constantly getting BSODs randomly. Recently, I installed a new video card, (HIS) ATI HD5770, which didn't change the situation except for the fact that my BSOD screen no longer is a blue screen with all those numbers and words. Now, it just looks like white noise on a tv screen. I found that I always trigger a BSOD if I do anything while using utorrent, such as browsing the Internet. But, I do sometimes get bsods for no reason that I cant pinpoint.
I have a Q6600 processor with 2gb ram and an ati hd5770 video card. My motherboard is an xfx nforce 680i lt. I've been reading up on forums and apparently I'm supposed to make some sort of a dump file and post it here so that you guys can help me better, but I cant figure out how to do it.
I have been having the aforementioned BSOD's for a few months now and have simply put up with them since they were only happening twice a day. I have finally decided to try and fix them so I came here. I had always thought that the ATI drivers were always the problem (or at least part of it) since I used to have a lot of trouble even updating them and I used to get BSOD's during heavy gpu load (rift on max settings with crossfire on). My computer has since started crashing on the desktop sometimes so I'm not sure what it is. I had a look at the perfmon report and noticed an issue with logmein. I have no idea why it's there as I uninstalled it quite some time ago? I do have anti-virus installed (Kaspersky internet security). The UAC being off is self-explanatory. The perfmon report also says that WWAN autoconfig was stopped abnormally. I don't know if it is caused by the changes I made to the registry to kill processes faster due to an abnormally long shutdown time I had? I have done things like give myself ownership of all the files on the entire computer so I can add/change stuff in the windows folder and it is possible (but very unlikely) that I may have affected something. I also made an attempt to manually remove ATI driver registry entries at one point due to problems.
I'm getting BSOD somewhat randomly and frequently. It always seems to happen when I'm running UTorrent and Windows Media Player Classic or several programs at one time. I built my PC so I know it will have more stability issues than a typical PC but I get BSOD more frequently than I should. Frequently the driver at fault is ntoskrnl.exe, tcpip.sys, or ntfs.sys.
I recently started having problems where my computer will randomly BSOD. After that i get an error saying no boot manager can found and I just have to manually restart my computer. Ill attach the diagnostics .zip
ive been having these BSOD problems for a couple weeks.. they seem to occur only when i start my computer in the morning and do it a lot for the first hour or so, then seem to quit for the rest of the day.. ive changed all drivers and completely reformatted and reinstalled windows too... no luck?
I'm having this problem of BSOD ever since I bought this custom built computer in Jan 2010. Once I've played more than 1 hour of game, either online or not, it's very likely to have BSOD sooner or later. Today, I experienced this 3 times!! I've ran Driver Update and it says "Standard Dual Channel PCI IDE controller" is not up to date but I couldn't find any update for it, so I tried disable it then I can play more than 6 hours. However, after I left the computer for 3 hours and came back with BSOD again. Before I try the disable, I have error code of "Driver IRQL not less or equal", but for the last BSOD this didn't should up. Here's my computer info:OS: Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bitProcessor: Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Quad CPU Q9400 @ 2.66GHz 2.67GHzInstalled memory (RAM): 4.00GB (3.00GB usable)NVIDIA GeforceGT 240 version 296.10
I am using Windows 7 and my computer restarts exactly after an hour. I have recently changed my PSU so its not a PSU problem and no component is over heating. It happens for a day then take a break for a week then starts happening again.
Today i booted up my computor and some updates were automatically done and then i had to restart. when i began working on my project again the function of assigning one pane to one side and the other half of the window. i am running a sony vaio and originally it had a thing at the top of the desktop screen, a toolbar i think.
i am having the famous bsod when watching video, using mpc for local and flash (Internet) for online after an hour or so from when i start watching. i noticed that the crash happens more often when i use often the seek-bar and jump to various points of the movie. codecs dont think are the problem for they are regularly updated. this crash sometimes happen when i am playing games an hour or so after the start.
Since last week I started having the BSOD problem , my computer just restarting out of nowhere. Before this happening i did not install /add new hardware or software.

I have an Asus G51 gaming series laptop. It has an intel core i7 with 4G of RAM and a GTX 260M for a graphics card. I've been getting a BUGCODE_NDIS_DRIVER BSOD almost every-time i use my machine for over 20 mins. My machine was working fine , until i bought an external monitor and started using that over HDMI. Now even though the other monitor is plugged out , BSOD still happens regularly.

I've been having some BSOD issues, mostly 0x0000124.I tried updating my BIOS but the problem persists.Ran memtest for 1 hour with no apparent error.Got a BSOD when running prime95 (it was not 0x0000124 but I think it was hardware related)Always get BSOD when doing some intensive encoding in Sony Vegas (and it's my default way to test for BSOD)Note that I was using just 1 DIMM of RAM when making the report .zip
Managed to break my PC again in my usual form. So I recently bought a new SSD and did a fresh installation of Windows 7 on it. Everything boots fine - until I get nitpicky about the boot times and start changing some settings in the BIOS. To give some background, I was initially trying to resolve a problem with slow boot times on my GIGABYTE P55A-UDL3. There is a 10sec delay after the "Loading Operating System" message. Windows splash screen onwards only takes 5 secs. I read somewhere that this had to do with having the CD-Rom as the first boot device. (Don't even want to get started on the AHCI BIOS itself already adding another 2-3secs) Anyway, if I recall correctly I did some (supposedly harmless stuff like) moving my SSD to the #1 priority in the BIOS list and also set Hard Disk as the first (and only) Boot Device. Boom. BOOTMGR is Missing.
Occasionally when a program crashes the last sound playing, whether it be part of a sound effect in a game, a small part of a film from a media player, or even a standard windows sound effect, will recur endlessly after the program has been closed until the computer is restarted. The sound is not displayed on the windows mixer, although it displays clearly on my dedicated sound card's audio levels display.
I have tried disabling and re-enabling the relevant sound devices, switching between onboard audio and dedicated audio, and attempting to restart the windows sound services, however I have found nothing aside from a restart that will actually rid me of the recurring sound (things such as entering/exiting sleep mode do not help, I have not tried to hibernate the computer, but if I'm going to do that I might aswell just restart properly).
One of my computers keeps crashing while doing tasks like browsing files on the HDD or surfing the web. I'm attaching a copy of the minidump file. I've looked at the result from the Windows Debugging Tool, but I'm not sure how to read it as it's my first time. I did note the names "fltmgr.sys" and "SearchIndexer" stand out.I'd like to point out that no new programs were installed prior to the BSOD's and that I've updated all of the drivers that I could find for the motherboard since the BSOD's. I could not get the BIOS to be updated because Gigabyte doesn't seem to have a 64-bit version available. I'm currently running a thorough disk check on the HDD.
Computer spec:
- AMD Athlon II X2 250 Dual Core Processor - Gigabyte MA785GM-US2H Motherboard - Western Digital WD5000AAKS Caviar Blue Hard Drive - Patriot PGS24G6400ELK Gamer Series 4096MB PC6400 DDR2 - OCZ ModXStream Pro 500W Modular PowerSupply
Things I noticed before crashes:
- Internet stops working - Computer becomes sluggish - Seems to crash while multi-tasking (multiple windows, downloading+browsing, etc.) - Windows Update is unable to install SP1 for this machine. It downloads but fails to install.
I recently purchased a new OCZ 64GB SSD to install Windows 7 64 bit on. I have a separate 500 GB HDD for storage, but I completely disconnect this drive when doing my install because the Windows 7 install disk will not recognize my SSD if it's not the only drive plugged in.
After installing Windows everything works fine for a time. I am able to reboot multiple times during the windows update process (btw this is a possible culprit for the issue that is occuring) up until the first 5 security updates for Sevice Pack 1. After installing these updates and shutting down my PC will not boot up and I get the bootmgr is missing error. I have at this point hooked my HDD back up, but it is well after my Windows install has finished, so there doesn't seem to be any way that Windows is writing the bootmgr file to my HDD because I have booted up multiple times with neither the windows install disk in the dvd drive nor the HDD plugged in.
I'm trying to figure out if something's wrong with my SSD or if there's some update in Windows 7 sevice pack 1 that is incompatible with my hardware.
Computer is an Alienware M17 laptop with a fresh install of windows 7Computer will BSOD randomly during gamingsometimes when starting up netflix streamingSeveral dumps attachedI was going to try to debug myself for the first time but after I install the tools from here (on another computer): Debugging Tools for Windows 64-bit Version I can't find windbg in my start menu or anywhere else on the computer.
For the last few weeks I have been getting BSOD: IRQL not less or equal, and system service exception. I first updated all drivers/windows ect, and ran recommended repair utilities. After this had no effect, I had been directed by another source to test the RAM, and so ran memtest, finding no errors. I have also swapped out different combinations of my 4 Dimms of RAM to try and isolate the problem. While I have been swapping out my RAM sticks, I happened to notice that my physical memory usage would slowly and steadily rise until ~ 95-99% at which point the BSOD would occur. Since noticing the RAM usage continually rising seemed to cause the crash, I have found that rebooting when the memory usage gets too high will baseline the RAM usage and can prevent the BSOD. Does anyone have any idea what might be causing this? The only programs I'm using are world of warcraft, chrome, and occasionally skype or MS office. BSOD have occured with some or even none of these applications open(But always with memory usage @ ~ 90% or higher). Closing every program when the memory gets high doesn't cause the memory usage to ever stop rising(though it will temporarily drop the usage). So in a nutshell:My memory usage goes from ~20% on fresh boot, gradually increasing until ~95-98% and I Crash. I've scanned the processes>show processes from all users and nothing stands out that seems to be using too much memory.
I am a desktop support tech and one of my users is having a problem where they will accept an invitation to a recurring meeting and either the meeting will not appear on their calendar or the first meeting will show up as accepted and all the other meetings in the series will be shown as tentative. I have looked high and low on the internet yet have found nothing to help, i am open to any and all suggestions and ideas, or if some one knows what is causing this a solution.
Everytime I start the computer in the normal way I get a bsod about 1-2 seconds after the desktop appears (after I log in) and the system crashes. When I then start the computer in the safe mode it does not instantly give me another bsod, but even in the safe mode I have gotten a bsod. I actually downloaded the exe file from the posting guide and while running that for the first time it actually crashed in safe mode again.
I'm running Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit.Its the original OS.It is not an OEM version I think.. I did not order this computer, it was done for me. I'm pretty sure its retail, but at the moment I can not ask this to the person who ordered the computer for me.The computer is tomorrow 1 week old. (yes I managed to crash it in a week)The OS was installed 7-8 days ago, I'm not sure of that but its more then 7 days and less then 14 days for sure. Can ask if its important, but again not at this moment?When trying to do the system health report as stated in the guide (perfmon /report), it gives me a viewer stating that the system cannot find the path.
I don't have the zip attachment but I couldn't run System Help Report as I can't even access Start menu So recently my mother told me she couldn't use her PC anymore so I checked and she gets the so called Black Screen of Death upon log in. It doesn't even work on safe mode. I tried restoring to the last known good configuration and it worked after trying the different restore points, but only temporarily as the next time she logged in the black screen welcomed her once again - it's like that everytime. Now the restore points have changed and none of them work anymore. When I log in a reminder from Norton pops up on the screen (her anti-virus has expired) and when I click the button for online support the default browser, Google Chrome, opens up and I'm able to surf the Internet just fine. Also, maybe it's not related but I noticed that the volume adjustment keys on the keyboard have stopped working. When I press the Windows key, Start menu doesn't show either. If someone could tell me how I can proceed onto Step 3 (running System Health Report via Start when I can't access it)
I put the laptop into safemode and checked for viruses malware and trojans, also tried a system restore but that didnt seem to do anything and found nothing suspicious. also did the sfc /scannow no errors reported, I read that you could get into the Task manager and stop the explore.exe and add a new one and start it again. This however i cannot try as i cant get past the windows logo screen.
