Repeated BSOD help

SilverA

New Member
OK, so recently our family PC (HP Pavilion slimline) has been acting up - BSOD on multiple occasions, sometimes so frequent we couldn't use the PC at all.

Usually we switch it all off - leave it for about 12 hours and then next time we turn it on (first in safe mode, then restart normally if all ok) windows tells us it's recovered from something.

Additional information:

The PC runs very slowly now

When we turn it on, we are asked to select an OS (although we only have one) - a Choice between Vista (recovered) and another I can't remember, but something to do with settings.

Have had a few minor viruses before, but should have been cleared up. Now using BtNetprotect + anti-virus

System Info:

Vista Home premium x64
OEM
About 2/3 years old
Never reinstalled windows since purchase

Dump/performance info:

Attached as Zip files as requested in sticky





Any help would be wonderful. We considered a factory reset until we turned it on again today and it once again said it had recovered. Been ok so far (in use for an hour or so)

Hiya.

Thanks for the reply, but how would I go about doing that?
Also, was this based on an alaysis of the zipped files attached or just the initial brief?

(sorry - just expected a little more after uploading those)

Just my 2¢

perfmon /report shows that your D: drive is running short of free space. If this is your system recovery partition - that's OK.

Only 581 mB of RAM free (out of 2 gB total). I'd strongly suggest adding more RAM to the system (up to a limit of 4 gB depending on the system's ability to handle it). Check for RAM limitations at RAM Memory Upgrade: Dell, Mac, Apple, HP, Compaq. USB drives, SSD at Crucial.com
While waiting to add RAM, I'd suggest:
- trimming your startup items to prevent the loading of non-essential applications
- only running one program at a time.

I'm not in favor of wireless USB adapters, they just have too many problems. I'd suggest getting a wireless card that plugs into the motherboard (or a very long wire)- they are much more powerful, robust, and reliable.

IMO this is starting to look like a hardware problem.
I ran 5 memory dumps from April 2012
There were 2 different BSOD error codes (STOP 0x8E and 0xD1)
There were 5 different causes blamed.

Hardware problems can be:
- broken hardware
- overclocking problems
- compatibility issues
- low-level driver problems
- malware

I'd suggest updating the following software/drivers on your system (uninstall old drivers before installing new drivers):
- nVidia chipset drivers - NVIDIA DRIVERS 15.56 WHQL
- nVidia video drivers - NVIDIA DRIVERS 296.10 WHQL
- Realtek High Definition Audio drivers - Realtek
- RaLink Wireless Network drivers (your wireless USB device) - from the manufacturer of your wireless USB device)
- HP Multimedia Keyboard Driver (replace it if you already have the most current) - from the HP support website for your model

Lot's of McAfee in the memory dumps. While this isn't a diagnostic, it would be advisable to check by doing this:
Anti-Virus Removal:
Please do the following:
- download a free antivirus for testing purposes: Free AntiVirus
- uninstall the McAfee from your system (you can reinstall it, if so desired, when we're done troubleshooting)
- remove any remnants of McAfee using this free tool: http://service.mcafee.com/FAQDocument.aspx?id=TS100507
- IMMEDIATELY install and update the free antivirus, then check to ensure that the Windows Firewall is turned on.
- check to see if this fixes the BSOD's
NOTE: NEVER run more than 1 anti-virus, firewall, Internet Security/Security Center application at the same time.

If all of this doesn't stop the BSOD's, please run Driver Verifier according to these instructions: http://www.carrona.org/verifier.html

Further info on BSOD error messages available at: http://www.carrona.org/bsodindx.html

The following info is just FYI, I've already addressed the issues that I saw in the above paragraphs
