    So even if you don't overclock Catalyst, the BSOD's continue to happen?

    Basically yes. Yesterday i tried to run some overclocks on the gpu's, they didnt like it. Reverted back to my old overclocks and things seem more stable.

    So in my eyes, its either my hard drive, one of my two ram sticks or one of my two graphics cards. SMART is enabled, but according to every utility its disabled. I ran western diagnostics hd utility, which says my smart status has failed, it does pass all the tests tho and it says my hd is healthy. I ran memtest on my 2 gigs of ddr and passed no less than 22 times, with 0 errors. I guess it could the ram on one or both of my video cards, but i find that unlikely. Sheeesh!

    Ok, another day some more bsod's, i had an attack of them when playing san andreas online, summit was really up.

    Here is one more, to go with the two new ones above this post.

    How about going back to stock settings to see if things stabilize. Your CPU is at 3153MHz from a stock of 2400MHz. How much are the video cards overclocked?

    I've seen on numerous occasions where, after a period of time, a once stable overclock is no longer stable.

    Well last night things took a turn fo the worst. Was gta san adreas online when suddenly the pc restarted. The monitor said no signal but the pc itsself was still on, the busy light of the p stayed on. I turned it on and off at the wall, same thing, except it sounded very quiet when i turned it back on, also the power lights to the cd and dvd roms were off and i couldnt eject the disks. i also couldnt hear the hard drives spinning up. There are no beeps when i turn it on. Im probably going to send it back to y oem, i reckon its the psu, maybe the motherboard. Maybe the hard drives have failed aswell. God this sucks argh!

    Got my pc back, they couldnt find anything wrong with it, which makes me think it must be a driver that is causing these crashes. I have uploaded another dump for inspection, this crash just a few minutes ago.

    Uninstall Panda AV and see if it makes a difference. Someone on another forum has had a few crashes that match your last one. I'm still waiting for a response to see whether Panda was reinstalled after a fresh install of Windows, but his computer hadn't crashed for a while without Panda installed.

    This is another memory corruption minidump pointer
  10. the_gas Newcomer, in training Posts: 66

    Damm this is annoying. The memory has passed through memtest with no errors thats what i dont get. I guess i could try uninstalling panda, its just annoying though as i have already paid for a years subscription.

    Memtest isn't perfect. Some memory can pass it without problem though it's faulty.

    I had this error before, 2 times and that was cleared up after i installed the chipset driver.

    Maybe you might want to update your chipset driver.

    It could also be that your memory is faulty.. try using or borrow someone's else.

    How can i find out what is the name of my chipset driver?

    p.s one more dump for inspection.
  13. the_gas Newcomer, in training Posts: 66

    No matter, i found the drivers i needed, didnt make any difference. However i have found the name of the driver that may be causing the crashes, it has started to appear onscreen.

    Aegisp.sys.

    I have tried updating the drivers for the wi-fi, i have tried deleting the file, but after the bsod it just reappears. I have searched google, found a few things but nothing worked. How can i stop the file from activating, i read it can be done in control panel and services, but i couldnt see anything there with that name.

    Your PC is pulling quite a lot of power given your specs. Are you sure you have a good PSU? What's the brand? Crap ones that are insufficient\dying will also cause BSODs. Use the Sensor option in Everest to see the voltage values. All the +3.3V, +5V and +12V values should be stable i.e. they shouldn't fluctuate too much. Also, make sure they're at a minimum of 90% of their total voltage i.e. the +12V voltage shouldn't dip below 11.8V, the +5V voltage shouldn't go below 4.5V etc.
    In addition, try removing the OC from the Catalyst Control Center and see if that solves the problem.

    My psu is here http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?item=N82E16817104015

    Its pretty decent, 700w.

    My pc has recently come back from the oem, like a week ago, they couldnt find anything wrong with after putting it through all kinds of tests. Im sure its a driver, but i cant find out what or how. Im close to pulling my hair out.

    Going back to my previous post, i solved the aegisp.sys problem, i just uninstalled the wi-fi untill a newer driver comes out, now i just need help on stopping these soul destroying pfn list corrupt messages.
  16. the_gas Newcomer, in training Posts: 66

    Can someone please tell me the name of the offending driver in this dump please, and what could be causing it, if you know.


    Thanks

    ill shed some light on possible problem. It is most likely your ram. One of your sticks may be bad or possibly your ram might need a tad bit more voltage to operate right, Happened to me i raised the voltage and works good. Hope this helps all having this problem.

    Everest


    So when you get a BSOD, does Everest make a note of it, and record it, and if it does, where and what else does it tell you?
  20. tommy2k8 Newcomer, in training Posts: 84

    Home premium?

    Also, will Everest run on Windows Vista Home Premium 32-bit?
