BSOD

[niemiro]

Hello just a small note when most OP's come here they know zero about computers so for them you might want to say Verifier.exe as I knew that but was curious if you would put it in there for me or not.

This is not about you and hope I have not hurt your feelings by saying the above but I am learning about ever aspect of the BSOD and if I was a OP which I am I would like that info because I would be back asking more questions on how to do it, your help on this is very kind and I hope you find the problem...

Thank you

Tom

mgorman87 gave instructions in post 11 on how to properly use Driver Verifier. He gave this link: Driver Verifier - Enable and Disable - Windows 7 Forums

Inside that link, it is very clear that it should be verifier.exe. Most OPs have no problems whatsoever in following those instructions.

Do you know if your system has ever generated a minidump file? I seem to remember that they have been generated in the past. I can also see that CCleaner may well have deleted them.

I mean it could be a bad stick of RAM. For example, when Windows boots, many things happen, including the generation of a checksum of all components involved in writing the crash dump. If, when the system does crash, the components are re-hashed, and the checksum does not match, a crash dump is not written, because doing so may well cause corruption on the disk.

Your recoveros settings look alright, but there are still so many other reasons.

I am still slightly tempted to try to crash this machine, just to test the crash process.

Hello Mgorman87

I posted right after you and your no where to be found as you logged out. Here is a look at my drivers, which some go back to 2005...

Maybe someone can help....

It looks like you selected all your drivers. You were only supposed to select 3rd party non microsoft drivers. I would open a command prompt and type verifier /reset and then reboot the computer and start the process over and this time only select the 3rd party drivers as the instructions say

5. Click on "Provider" at the top to sort the list by manufacturer; select all drivers not provided by Microsoft Corporation.

I am running verifier since last night and I follow the instructions to the letter. I have only selected drivers not provided by Microsoft. However today when I went to move my mouse to bring the computer out of sleep it would not no matter what I tried so I had to hold the power button until it was off and then rebooted...

How can that be sinse I only ran CCleaner about 5 weeks ago, unless there is some sort of error and it's deleting stuff on it's own. If need be I will uninstall it for now and reinstall it after this is all done...

Since I had to power off my computer do I need to restart the driver veirfier again...

Hello

I forced a keyboard BSOD here are the results...

 

[richc46]

Did you try to go to the upgrade center site and check for hardware problems as we had mentioned previously?

 

[americancritic]

Yes no errors just that I would have to buy a new printer and a couple of new games if I want to keep them, no harware isuuse at all...

Hello

I am wondering I have been waiting for someone to help me with my computer problem. I have done what has been asked of me and I even forced a Keyboard BSOD on my system and have uploaded that BSOD file also, and I have been waiting for someone to reply...

So if someone would help me please, maybe I can get my system fixed...

Thanks

 

[richc46]

Ok as I have told you before one Minidump is often not enough to diagnose a problem.
Your bug code only indicates that the dump was caused intentionally (your forced it with the keyboard)
An examination of your event logs show the possiblity of a virus, Jacee will look into that when she returns in 2 days.
Until that time continue to use the computer. Keep the Driver verifier enabled and make sure it is set not to show MS drivers.

 

[richc46]

Since this is the driver
i8042 Port Driver
that has been identified and it is a MS driver, try an SFC scan.
Make sure that your windows update is set to install new drivers
Look in device manager for any yellow warning markers.

Hi when I tuned off all the drivers except for Microsoft these kind of caught my eye.

dump_diskdump.sys

dump_nvstor64.sys

any idea as to what these would be for...

 

[richc46]

One is a Nvidia corp driver (Nvstor) the other is a Microsoft Crash dump disc driver.
Nvida is probably your grapics driver and the other may be the reason you are not getting dump reports

 

[americancritic]

OK well heres another I ran sfc twice and there is nothing in the files what so ever.

Used the command to put it on the desktop and there was nothing in the file can this be sinse I have turned off the other drivers, yes really slow with the verifier turned on. I am going to run a deep full scan using Kaspersky and see if it finds anything. then I will check back..

 

[americancritic]

I set Kaspersky to deep scan on everything and it says it will be done in 5 hours, verifier is still running, never checked does malwarebytes have a deep scan or not...

 

[richc46]

Has a quick and full scan.

 

[americancritic]

Hello

Update, Kaspersky full update deep scan: Negative

Verifier still on...

Full scan of malwarebytes running as I type.

I am maxing my system out to see if it will fail.

Music going with headset in front of computer...

Malware running...

Chess running...

Internet running the 2 BSOD's I got was when I was on the internet...

I have word open...

MP3 Rocket is open and ready for downloading more songs...

I am in and out of windows exployer saving and printing I am trying to figure out what else I can do to see if I can get it to BSOD.

Any thought's...

Thanks For Your Help Rich

I do not think that what you are doing will necessarily solve your problem. Let me give an example. You can remove all but one ram stick then you will bsod due to memory, but this may not have been your initial problem
What you are doing will probably tax the memory or even cause you to overheat, but that may not be your initial cause.

 

[americancritic]

It was worth a try everything is running like it should but real slow because of the verifier, it takes forever to get things done.

 

[richc46]

Allow me to make a suggestion. You have been having problems for at least a month. It may be time to buy an upgrade to Seven.
If you decide to go this route, we can help you test your computers memory, etc. To make sure there are not hardware problems
I offer this as a friend, as this is what I would do if it were my machine.

 

[americancritic]

Only bad thing about doing a upgrade is I will lose a lot of software that I like. I have ordered a new computer that Jonathan_King made to what he would build, the ups driver dropped it off the back of the truck and broke something in it and I had to refuse service or it would have voided my warranty, still waiting for the new to come...

I do want this one running great as I will give this one to my young daughter and I will have the monster one in the house, man did he ever put together a computer.

So yes continue to help on this one please I want it running nice for my baby girl.

Thanks
