Blue Screen

[dandycal]

Yes, exactly. I ran 6 passes on the first card and 12 on the second. No errors were found.

You mentioned, in an earlier post, problems with Nvidia. Go to device manager. Look for any yellow markers indicating problems. If none, update the drivers for the graphic cards.

I will prepare a more detailed analyis. I thought that memory would solve this.

Analyis being prepared. This will be removed when complted. If watching progress, refresh the screen.

This is but one of the many BC errors that appear in your dump reports. Such a large number of dumps indicating different BC codes uaully means hardware problems

You mentioned, in an earlier post, problems with Nvidia. Go to device manager. Look for any yellow markers indicating problems. If none, update the drivers for the graphic cards.

I will prepare a more detailed analyis. I thought that memory would solve this.

No yellow markers found. Driver has just been updated.

As to the BC124 steps:

"1) Ensure that none of the hardware components are overclocked. Hardware that is driven beyond its design specifications - by overclocking - can malfunction in unpredictable ways."

My system still doesn't recognize my monitor properly. I have an AOC LCD screen, yet windows lists it as a generic PnP monitor. It's been so since I bought the computer. I had to manually change the resolution to one larger than the PnP monitor would accept. Could the system interpret this as overclocked hardware?

"2) Ensure that the machine is adequately cooled. If there is any doubt, open up the side of the PC case (be mindful of any relevant warranty conditions!) and point a mains fan squarely at the motherboard. That will rule out most (lack of) cooling issues.

8) Clean and carefully remove any dust from the inside of the machine. Reseat all connectors and memory modules. Use a can of compressed air to clean out the RAM DIMM sockets as much as possible."

As I mentioned before, I found that the inside of the CPU was incredibly dirty with thick layers of dust. This was probably making the cooling system less effective, not to mention other possible difficulties it could impose on the funcioning of the system. It has been thoroughly cleaned.

No
This is not a cause of your problem.

 

[dandycal]

I also checked all drivers related to hardware (that I know of) in Device Management and they are all updated.

What now? :D

BTW, do you think that the cleansing of the hardware might have miraculoously solved this problem? I haven't had a bluescreen since then.


EDIT.: PS: Driver for the monitor needed to be updated. Now the system seems to actually recognize my AOC.

 

[richc46]

This is what I tell all posters. If you read my answer, and do one thing, use the computer, the problem may have been solved. If not, try another suggestion. My advice, use it for a while, the BSOD may be history. If it does comeback, try another suggestion, then post and give me the new dump.

Good luck

 

[dandycal]

Will do. Thank a LOT, rich. I hope not to have to to bother you again :D

 

[richc46]

Dandycal, it is no bother. I am here because I like to help.
