BSOD at random times in the last 4 days - Help pls

jonathan1107 · Aug 10, 2012

Hi, I have started getting BSODs twice a day at random moments on my computer in the last 4 days. I've tried to figure out the reason for the BSODs but I'm not sure.

I often get the * Hardware failure * bsod. Now I know these can be caused by a number of things, so that is why I included with this post the SF Diagnostic Tool zip attachement so you can help me figure this out.

I consider my knowledge of computers (overclocking, hardware maintenance and debugging) at a decent level, so it shouldn't take much help before we fix this. I just need someone to point me in the right direction.

ur attachment wont really help. Just try to remove hardware and replace with old parts. Or for ram take a stick out and try it and try the other.

isn't there a log file I can look at to see what's the culprit?

I don't wanna spend the next 3 days testing each and every hardware piece, toying with settings and whatnot when I could have made my life easier by gaining important knowledge to help me get to the fix

It would be easiest to provide an error code. You can use this program for easy access. Or use the Event Viewer and look at the criticals.

Whats the brand of you OS SSD?

Remove your overclock, tell us if that fixes it

Yes this. Set everything to stock. After that, memtest.

jonathan1107 · Aug 10, 2012

My ssd is a kingston 64gb... I only use it to put windows 7 OS on it...

As for my overclock, it's been running for 2 years now... don't see how that's gonna change anything... but I will try it...

Can you guys determine anything by lookin at the .dmp file I copied earlier ?

jonathan1107 · Aug 10, 2012

how can I run memtest without a CD? I don't have CDs right now to boot from
and appearantly I can make a USB drive... but ONLY using linux...

TheMailMan78 · Aug 10, 2012

Did you by chance install DEAMON TOOLS or Max Payne 3 bootleg in the past few days?

http://www.techpowerup.com/forums/showthread.php?t=170225

jonathan1107 · Aug 10, 2012

no but I did install something similar called "virtual clone drive"... u think that could be the culprit?
because (I'm not 100% sure about this tho) I think I started having BSODs before installing virtual clone drive

I restored factory defaults (no OC anymore)

and I followed some instructions from here:

I think its software personally.

Is the "Windows Memory Diagnostic" any good at detecting RAM problems?

Memtest for about 6 loops is enough to find something that will make you BSOD like you are. But I really think its software. Does it BSOD in safe mode?

jonathan1107 · Aug 10, 2012

I'm waiting for the next BSOD right now lol... I usually get 1 or 2 every day in the last 4 days

jonathan1107 · Aug 15, 2012

I just had another BSOD, of the same type... "hardware failure"...

While playing Asssassin's creed revelaitons... The 2 last I had, were while playing that game and "play catan" which is an online board game (on firefox)...

And I just did a CLEAN windows 7 re install... I'm so lost

Jetster · Aug 15, 2012

Did you run Memtest86?

jonathan1107 · Aug 15, 2012

I don't have CDs to run it...

If you boot it off a flash drive if you have that.

jonathan1107 · Aug 15, 2012

ok, not sure how to... I was told I can only do it with a flash drive if I have LINUX

Jetster · Aug 15, 2012

What do you mean you don't have CDs? Go get some

commission3r · Aug 15, 2012

flip the switch and run them as 6950s

ShiBDiB · Aug 15, 2012

just take a god damn stick of ram out and run it for a day and see if it bsods, and try the next day with just the other... That will tell you if its bad ram and which is bad
