Solve : Suddenly Blue Screens in Windows 7? |
|
Answer» Computer Specs: Do you overclocked the CPU processor during this time? It seems its the report found on the dump file while running GW. The processor has been set at the same speed and voltage listed at the top of the post since four months ago. I haven't changed it at all from that stable overclock. The processor would be 4.0 Ghz default base and uncore - 4.4 Ghz default core turbo, though.The first thing you need to do is download and install both a GOOD anti virus app and MalwareBytes. Then run full scans with both. Let's see what happens after that.

Let's see what happens after that. I only downloaded MalwareBytes, because I'd rather have a recommendation of an anti-virus than just search for some random one you guys might not agree with. Here's the threat scan log: https://www.dropbox.com/s/lgbvhuis5myabov/MalwareBytesScanLog.txt?dl=1I would suggest MicroSoft Security Essentials or Comodo. Remember to only install one antivirus! 1) Avast! Home Edition 2) AVG Free Edition 3) Avira AntiVir Personal 4) MicroSoft Security Essentials All versions and all languages. 5) Comodo Antivirus (Uncheck during installation "Install Comodo SafeSurf..", Make Comodo my default search provider" and "Make Comodo Search my homepage" if you choose this one) It is strongly recommended that you run only one antivirus program at a time. Having more than one antivirus program active in memory uses additional resources and can result in program conflicts and false virus alerts. If you choose to install more than one antivirus program on your computer, then only one of them should be active in memory at a time.All of the above are excellent free choices. If you want to pay for a product, I'm a BIG fan of KasperskyAlright. So Microsoft Security Essentials isn't reporting anything to me as far as malicious activity, so where do I go from here to figure out the source causing these blue screens? Does the minidump file in my first post point out anything to you guys as far as a Windows service or specific hardware fault that made it blue screen during my game?The dump file is gibberish when I try to read it. You can post the contents if you like. More important, please do the following Go to System Properties - Advanced - Startup & Recovery Options and UNcheck "automatically restart". Now reboot. Next time the system gets a bsod it will remain on the screen. Please copy and post the entire contents of that screen in this thread.

Though, with its unpredictability, it may be a few days or more before I can get a capture of it.Any Yellow !!'s in Device Manager ? ?

I've just disabled a sound driver from NVIDIA, because I only usually use the sound from my motherboard ports.

I was hoping it'd be possible to tell from the dump, or when the blue screen comes up again and I get a capture of it, if it's any specific hardware OC, because the CPU core isn't the only thing overclocked. There's the uncore also at 4.5 Ghz, the 1866 Mhz memory is running over Intel's supported range for the CPU, which is listed at 1600 Mhz, and the command rate timing has been lowered by 1 from original spec. It could also just be a borked service running from Windows, so the unpredictable NATURE of the blue screen means I may not get conclusive evidence just from setting some things or one thing to default, because it may not happen by coincidence, or may be only a specific combination of any of these settings in BIOS together, instead of alone. I'll wait for the next blue screen so I can get a capture of it, then if it can't be determined from that, I'll start setting defaults. The only question would be what to start with, or if it should be some sort of combination, and how long I need to wait for no blue screen to occur before deciding that isn't the problem.The minidumpfile log Quote *******************************************************************************http://www.carrona.org/bsodindx.html#0x00000124 Usual causes: Hardware, Incompatibility, May be driver corruption |
