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.
View 8 RepliesOne 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:

- 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 was using vista x86 up untill windows 7 came out, it was the I decided to go for my first x64 operating system. I have an i7 and 3gb ram.
Ever since I've moved over, games take up a stupid amount of memory, they'll go to 80 - 90%. I recently decided to install Crysis Warhead as I never got round to completing it, last time I played it I was on vista x86 and it ran fine. However now, it takes forever to load and/or freezes because there's no memory left.
I've tried setting the page file at 200 - 1024, 1024 - 1024 and turning it off, none of that makes a difference. I tried increasing it to 4096-4096 just out of curiosity, that managed to load the game, however, while I did have a constant 50-60fps I was lagging really badly and had 91% ram usage.
Am I missing something here, does anyone else have this issue?
Windows 7 ultimate x64 Retail, I am getting random BSOD's after the brand new install and format, also I have used a program called Driver Genius 2011 to scan for any errors and so far none were found, I cant even decide what triggers the BSOD's. My PC specs are in my profile and have only had it since Christmas 2010, with the recent addition of a Radeon HD 6770 card in order to play SWTOR. I can't for the life of me figure out how it is still doing it after a clean install. Someone, anyone, please help. I've followed the posting instructions and have uploaded both requested files in a .zip file!
View 7 Replies View RelatedJust reinstalled Windows on a new Samsung PM 830 SSD. Can't tell if its the SSD or the other things that I have installed. Sometimes it gives the BSOD screen, sometimes Explorer just goes missing and Task Manager would be unavailable. These days the BSODs come more often and with little warning.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI've been having this problem where my CPU is constantly hovering at around 30% usage, and after investigating with ProcessExplorer and Task Manager, I've found that the process responsible for most of it is the "System" process in system32 (the description says "NT Kernel & System"). Unfortunately, nothing seems to be able to pinpoint what exactly is causing this process to be using so much of my CPU. The reason this is so annoying though is that when the System process reaches 15% or higher CPU usage (which is does pretty frequently), any sounds my computer is playing stutter very obnoxiously. This makes it really unpleasant to listen to music or try to steam videos with sound while my CPU is constantly spiking. how to troubleshoot this or some common causes of these symptoms?
View 7 Replies View RelatedI keep getting BlueScreen errors and the pc is restarting after I switched motherboards from a gigabyte p55-usb3 to a biostar t5xe cfx-sli. I kept all the same components except I added another gtx 470. Thermal paste was freshly applied all around, all the idle and load temps seem normal. 30c/50c cpu and 40c/85c gpu.
1. Installed Win 7 Prof 64 bit on freshly formatted hard drive
2. Installed Drivers from motherboard cd (Biostar T5XE CFX-SLI)
3. Ran Windows update for awhile, restarted a few times, installed other programs
4. While browsing the net the pc shutdown and gave me a prompt upon startup with a "problem event name: bluescreen"
It also gave me the locations of a dump and a system file which I have included in the Shutdown #1 file.
1. After reviewing the error and searching the web I had read that it could be a possible heat issue, which didn't make sense as the first time I was just browsing the web. Idle the CPU is 30c and the GPU (SLI) is 40c for each card.
2. I downloaded the Unigine Heaven benchmark and ran it
3. PC shutdown in the middle of the benchmark and gave me different results in the post shutdown message. Files are in the Shutdown #2 file.
I used arctic silver on the cpu and on the gpu's. Everything is connected tightly and the only other thing installed is a wireless pci card which should have no problem. I used to use the exact same components on a gigabyte board (p55-usb3). The only reason I installed the Biostar Motherboard was to install another GTX 470 and run SLI.Everything seems normal as far as temps, the pc isn't slow, etc.I just decided to turn it off to avoid any possible damage and take the files I grabbed and post on a forum. This seemed like a good place to continue.
ive been having real problems with BSOD even when my computer is left alone, i have already reinstalled windows 7 home premium 64bit and the BSOD has kept on happening, i have updated all my drivers to the most recent versions to the best of my knowledge. I built the system myself i have tried everything i know of.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have been having BSOD for a while now. It happens during extended general use, or when playing games (really only minecraft). However, when I turn the power settings to "Power saver" I do not usually get a crash (not as far as i remember anyhow). But I would rather not have to use that mode, because it makes using more than one window at a time slow, and severely impacts game performance.
Here are the Sys Specs:

At first, I had a failing processor, and I managed to replace it, then Ireformatted my system.But then, I was receiving multiple BSODs after that, brought it to a computer store downtown, and they determined the problem as a corrupt install of Windows 7, and proceeded to reformat it themselves. I assume they also updated all the drivers, but I'm not sure. And just now, my computer won't wake up after sleeping, I've received a BSOD in the middle of playing TF2, started up the computer again, another BSOD while starting TF2, start up again, about to google a few things, and another BSOD.Windows 7 64 bit, originally Windows 7 64bit as well, this is the 2nd reformat.The hardware itself is about 1.5 years old, except a replacement processor, which is about 1 or 2 months old.
View 2 Replies View Relatedi recently upgraded my system with a new graphics card and ssds, and a new psu. i installed windows 7 x64, and now i've had 2 bsods within 24 hours. the first one occured while i was playing deus ex: human revolution. the error was 0x0000003b and the faulty file was dxgmms1.sys. i reinstalled the graphics drivers and it hasn't shown up anymore. now, i was installing gta iv and watching a video on Internet, and got another bsod, this time with error 0x000000be. i can't seem to isolate this problem. i've attached the files in the zip archive. also, i think its worth mentioning that the when i installed windows, i used a 32bit driver for the ssd raid 0 array since windows wouldn't take the 64 bit driver because it wasnt signed(although the driver did have the signature file on the disk). after the installation finished, windows automatically updated the raid driver.

Seemingly random reoccurring BSOD.
I am having these random BSODs everytime. I've tried resetting my laptop on its factory defaults and still getting this random blue screens. I also tested my memory using Memtest with atleast 5 passes, NO errors reported. I used check disk many times.
I also tried sfc /scannow but it stopped at 45%. Also I always get errors like "...has stopped working" from any apps. I've tried updating all the drivers to the latest, still no luck. I've done 5x full recovery and still BSODs.

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
View 6 Replies View Relatedlast night before I shut my pc down I was fiddling with windows updates. all I did was make sure that it was set to not install anything automatically and ask me before it does anything. Then oddly enough when I shut down it said it was installing windows updates yet I did not see any updates ready to install before I shut down so I was very confused. I let it do its thing and then it finally shut down. Now when I start the pc today I get a blue screen of death that says pagefault_in_non_paged_area when Windows was finalizing the update install..it rebooted again, tried once more to finalize updates and got another bsod. I rebooted into safe mode at next reboot and it said it was uninstalling the updates because windows failed to load. It restarted normally and it said it was uninstalling and then bsod again. This time when I started up the system repair option came on. I let it do its thing but the issue couldnt be auto fixed it said. I clicked the details and there was signature 07 saying BadDriver. The details are sketchy from here because im having a hard time remembering them, but it let me go into system recovery so i chose to roll back to the time where it showed there was a windows update installed at like 1AM(there was not however, i have no clue why it said this). It wasnt able to roll back to that point and let me choose another. I instead chose to run the memory diagnostics. Windows rebooted and stuck on my bios splash screen. i restarted and it stuck once again.
View 7 Replies View RelatedI 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.

When I was booting one day last week I got a nasty BSOD when Windows was trying to load. Then on the next reboot Windows 7 said it couldn't load and needed to do the recovery OS option from the Windows 7 repair on the CD. Well, before trying that I did a cold reboot and it got back into the OS fine so I didn't think much of it. Now, I noticed Ghost shows the C: drive status as "Unavailable" and it can't back it up anymore. It does give me an option to restore from one of my old backups. I'm thinking the MBR got hosed up somehow or something like that. But I'm skeptical to run an MBR repair since I have that 100MB partition on my SSD where my OS resides.
Ghost Shot> This was about a week ago my Windows 7 started acting up right before the big patch Tuesday. I've been running it for over a year now and it's been solid. When I first set it up I installed it on my SSD (Intel 510 120GB) drive. One of the qualms I had with the install is Windows created a separate boot sector on the disk drive where it stored my boot files. This is known the the "system reserved" operating system files 100MB partition. Apparently the way to avoid this is to use a third party partition tool before doing the windows install. That way it will keep the Boot sector files on the same partition which is how I would of liked it for doing restores from Ghost 15,etc. Anyway, ghost was backing up my system C: drive before last week. I have yet to even try and use Ghost to see if it would successfully restore my OS but I've been using it to backup my C: drive anyways. Prior to last week it could backup my C: drive fine. I might try a Ghost restore point from a few weeks back before this happened but not sure yet[CODE]
So when ever I get an update notice to update Internet explorer 9 and I try updating it, it always cancel because of some weird error that windows cant troubleshoot. I try downloading it from the Microsoft website, and it doesn't install. It says it does but I still end up with ie7. I know tootle chrome is 100x better but I have it and I think upgrading it will boost my system performance a bit.

View 1 Replies View RelatedThere are some BSOD-s lately. Happened almost excluselively under BF3, but if i remember correctly, once it happened under Starcraft 2 aswell.The problem is , that it skips fast before i can see the numbers under the BSOD.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have an HP tx2-1020US laptop that I just did a clean install of Windows 7 Build 7100 on. So far, things are working pretty well with the exception of 2 issues. First off, under the device manager, I have an 'unknown device' listed. All of the manufacturer, etc. details are unknown. The only piece of info is the hardware id property which is:
USBVID_1B96$PID_0001&REV_0000&MI_02
USBVID_1B96&PID_0001&MI_02
Thus far, I have not been able to find any components which are not working and I have no external USB devices connected to the system. Any ideas how I would go about figuring out what device this is and finding a driver for it?
Then, the second issue is that every time I restart or shutdown the system, it flashes a BSOD. It then reboots without any problems and gives me the windows startup screen asking if I want to use safe mode or boot normally. If I boot normally, Windows gives me a pop-up saying the previous shut down was unexpected, but not other details. I have checked the logs and there is nothing in any of the Windows event logs.
The BSOD screen lists no driver, dll, or sys file, simply the following string of hex codes.
STOP: 0x0000003B (0x00000000C0000046, 0XFFFFF80002A82C4C, 0xFFFFF88008070080, 0X0000000000000000)
I found reference to the first 0x0000003Bcode in google relating to video issues, but I have the latest 64-bit Windows 7 driver installed from ATI already. So, can anybody offer any further translation of these codes?

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.

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.
