Vista - BSoD recuuring problems please help

**EwanG** · 06-30-2009

Have you tried one of the various tools to check your system temps? Since you mentioned you were overclocking successfully for some time, I'm wondering if you might have some vents clogged and the machine is overheating. Might be worth a quick look...

Downloaded driver packages contain a lot of driver files - not just the one file that caught my eye.

There's 2 possibilities that replacing it will cover:
1 ) That the driver is outdated - so a new one will update it
2 ) That the driver is corrupted - so installing the same version will (hopefully) repair the corruption.
So, download and run the latest one from the website anyway.

The nVidia storage drivers will be a part of the nForce chipset drivers for your board.
Your board has the NVIDIA® 650i SLI + NVIDIA® nForce 430 Chipsets (from here: ASRock > Products > Penryn1600SLI-110dB )
and you're running a 64 bit version of Vista.
So that leads us to this page: nForce Driver

I'm downloading the Netgear driver again and I'm downloading the nforce driver. I do not think overheating has caused problems because my computer never goes above 50C, according to speedfan.

Let it run and see what you get. We've got a couple of other tricks in the basket before we give up!

**TheDrNick** · 07-02-2009

Sadly those updates didn't sort the problem out, although I haven't had any BSoDs whilts on internet since, but i still get them on games.

**usasma** · 07-02-2009

Crashes under new conditions should give us more memory dump files to look at.
Go to C:\Windows\Minidump, zip up the files located there and upload the .zip file in your next post. We just need the last 5 or 10.

There's still a lot of other stuff to try!

**TheDrNick** · 07-03-2009

These are the latest minidumps.

Still STOP 0x124 errors - 2 occurred in Firefox, and the other 3 in games (online I presume). If that's the case, then this is likely to be network related.

And...there are components of both your wired and wireless network drivers that are old (from 2007). Also, there's a component of your storage controller drivers that's from 2007 also.

Here's the summary of the dump files:

And here's the drivers that I'm concerned about:

Personally I lean towards believing it's an incompatibility with your network drivers - but the storage drivers could also be doing this.

I'd suggest running Driver Verifier (some people question it's usefullness with STOP 0x124 errors - but I wonder if it can force the driver to misbehave in Windows, before it hits the CPU and causes the error).

Please read the following instructions carefully BEFORE you start. This procedure can make your system unbootable, so it's essential to prepare for that first.

Quote:

Using Driver Verifier is an iffy proposition. Most times it'll crash and it'll tell you what the driver is. But sometimes it'll crash and won't tell you the driver. Other times it'll crash before you can log in to Windows. If you can't get to Safe Mode, then you'll have to resort to offline editing of the registry to disable Driver Verifier.

So, I'd suggest that you first backup your stuff and then make sure you've got access to another computer so you can contact us if problems arise. Then make a System Restore point (so you can restore the system using the Vista Startup Repair feature).

Then, here's the procedure:
- Go to Start and type in "verifier" (without the quotes) and press Enter
- Select "Create custom settings (for code developers)" and click "Next"
- Select "Select individual settings from a full list" and click "Next"
- Select everything EXCEPT FOR "Low Resource Simulation" and click "Next"
- Select "Automatically select unsigned drivers" and click "Next"
If no drivers show up, then select "Select driver names from a list" and click "Next"
Then select all drivers NOT provided by Microsoft and click "Next"
- Select "Finish" on the next page.

Reboot the system and wait for it to crash to the Blue Screen.

Reboot into Windows, turn off Driver Verifier by going back in and selecting "Delete existing settings" on the first page, then locate and zip up the memory dump file and upload it with your next post.

If you can't get into Windows because it crashes too soon, try it in Safe Mode.
If you can't get into Safe Mode, try using System Restore from your installation DVD to set the system back to the previous restore point that you created.
If that doesn't work, post back and we'll have to see about fixing the registry entry off-line.

Good luck!

Beacause I'm a bit busy over the next couple of days, I will do this when I next have some spare time. I'll post the results when I am done

This is the BSoD under conditions set by Verifier
