Understanding error messages

Rezol

Posts: 22   +0
Hello.
Recently my PC have been crashing when running some heavier games. At first I thought it was just because of overheating, but I'm starting to suspect this is not the case. I have been able to play these games for hours before, so it's not a matter of insufficient hardware.

I googles parts of the error signature from the error report created after every crash and found a thread here about similar problems.

It seems people here know much more about this than I do, so I'm wondering if somebody would mind looking this up:

BCCode : 1000007f BCP1 : 00000008 BCP2 : BA348D70 BCP3 : 00000000
BCP4 : 00000000 OSVer : 5_1_2600 SP : 3_0 Product : 256_1

There was also a sysdata.xml and a .dmp file created, if these are needed I'd be happy to send them.

Thank you in advance.
 
Thank you Macboatmaster.
I noticed that "1000007f" occured more that once in the Bug Check column, and the string related to the code is "UNEXPECTED_KERNEL_MODE_TRAP"

I'm also updating to the latest ATI drivers, from version 8.771.0.0000 to 8.780.0.0000 at the moment.

It seems my post got lost somewhere. I'm attaching the .txt file instead.

"We're sorry, the NVIDIA Smart Scan does not support your system at this time."

Why would I even need to go to the nVidia site to update my ATI drivers?
Could be something with the graphics card. I'll give the game another shot now after the update. Maybe see if I can borrow another card and see what happens.
I ran MemTest for 30 minutes without errors.
Temp. problem is very unlikely, I have monitored my temperatures (Sys, CPU, GPU) in-game and the levels were normal. Well, maybe it's time to clean the bottom fan.

First attempt will be with no acceleration at all, increasing after each successful run.
 
I have just realised now and I apologise for not spotting it before that your dump files produced by blue screen view go back as shown here.. to 2009. Clear your dump records and then we know we are getting the relevant information.
You will NOW know why I said check the driver.

Okay, so now I encountered the crash again, after raising the hardware acceleration at the 4th notch.

Bug check string says "UNEXPECTED_KERNEL_MODE_TRAP", I'm attaching the dump.

It is, I am reasonably certain, the driver, or the hardware for the graphics or a memory issue.

I still CANNOT understand why we have the error report I listed in my post 7.

I would run at the START, run and type "sfc /scannow".
It will not report a result, unless system files cannot be repaired. You may be asked for the XP CD.
 
I suppose it could be the two latest driver updates from ATI that have been malfunctioning.

The error report in post 7 must be from the last time my PC crashed before I got this ATI card instead of the nVidia card back then. Is it possible that old nVidia drivers are still installed and somehow intefering with the ATI drivers?

I don't have my XP CD available at the moment, but if we haven't solved the problem by the time I have it I'll run the scan.
 
So it seems the file atikvmag.dll is behind all the latest crashes. Is it worth a try to download that file from an online dll library and see if it works?
 
Why would I even need to go to the nVidia site to update my ATI drivers?
THe answer to your post 10 is YES. very possible - uninstall them.

Double fault
A double fault occurs when an exception occurs while trying to call the handler for a prior exception. Normally, the two exceptions can be handled serially, however there are several exceptions that cannot be handled serially and in this situation the processor signals a double fault. The two primary causes for this are hardware and kernel stack overflows. Hardware problems are usually related to CPU, RAM, or bus. Kernel stack overflows are almost always caused by faulty kernel-mode drivers.

I would not advice downloading dll files from a library.

I know you do not agree but I still say that the problem is
1. A driver
2. The graphics card
3. Temperatures.
4. Ram

Memtest is OK but there is nothing as good as a physical test. If you have the ability, take out ram and try with just two sticks, if you have four. and then replace etc to ascertain beyond doubt that ram is not the cause. Remember if you have dual core porcessor, with the dual core ram that you will have to arrange in the correct layout. You can of course run single core but you will have to populate the
correct slot, otherwise the ram will not be seen.


You may wish to try this first. Who Crashed frequently provides the exact cause of the problem.
http://www.resplendence.com/whocrashed.
 
I found both nVidia drivers and something more interesting - nVidia PhysX drivers. I have no clue why they are installed as I have never had a PhysX compatible card.
Furthermore, I believe that some of the crashes may be physics related, so I'll uninstall this and see what happens. Also, I'm installing Who Crashed just in case.
 
On Sun 2010-11-14 11:13:09 your computer crashed
This was likely caused by the following module: atikvmag.dll

Nothing different here from when using BlueScreenView. But I'm getting more and more certain that the nVidia graphics and physics drivers are interfering with the ATI drivers.
 
Another crash, this time with nVidia drivers removed. I'll test the RAM as soon as possible (probably not within a week or so).
I have 6GB of RAM installed, but my OS can only use half of this. Would it make a difference if I took out the unused ones?
Can it be related to having a quad core processor?
 
I have reviewed the situation and I do not now thinki it was the Nvidia driver.
Reason - the crash reports do not NOW include the Nvidia driver.
However the same crash reports ie: STOP Errors for Kernel are being received with the ati graphics.
It therefore must surely indicate that the fault is NOT the graphics hardware, as this would require the extremely unlikely circumstance that both the Nvidia and the ati card are faulty.
Neither do I think it is the driver for the card or the system files.
The fact that these are indicated does not of course mean that this is the cause of the error. It simply occurs when they are accessing the resources of the kernel.

It is as I said before either
RAM - have you tweaked voltages etc.
Processor - you have not overclocked have you.
Temps, but you say these are OK.

Have you checked Start, programs, accessories, system tools, system info. Check for problem devices, conflicts etc using the left hand pane and then on the Tools tab, DirectXDiagnostics - display and call for report.
It maybe that the lowering of the hardware acceleration, if as you say was successful, leads us to the
temp and ram question.
What have you used to check temps.
Speedfan is good.
http://www.almico.com/speedfan.php

Re ram, there is NO unused set it is simply that 32bit windows can only se 3.2Gb
 
I can not remember having clocked the RAM. However, I sometimes use ASUS software to overclock the CPU, but everything should be at standard values at this time.

As for the temps, I use more ASUS software that monitors fan speeds, CPU and system temps, voltages, etc.
For the GPU I have a plugin for my G15 keyboard that shows real time voltage, clock speed, temp, and load percentage.
 
I found one category named "Conflicts/sharing" (or whatever the english version of Windows calls it) which I assumed was the right place to look.
This is what I found:

14_8254.JPG


The Problem devices category was empty, DirectX diagnostics showed no error from what I understand.

I also scanned for files without a verified signature, and found these:

14_2.JPG
 
I downloaded Uniblue RegistryBooster which found 2474 errors in the registry. Mostly incorrect paths, but I'm letting the program repair anything, just in case.
 
That is probably the worst move you could have made, over 2000 registry entries found that required attention - RUBBISH
If you do not regret it I will be amazed..
See my post on registry cleaners. here.
https://www.techspot.com/vb/topic155894.html

My URGENT advice is to reatore to a point just before you installed this rubbish.

It is your computer and the decision is yours.
 
I'll trust you. Good thing I made a backup first.

Moving on, did you have any comments on the screenshots in post 19, or is that nothing to worry about?
 
I'm also wondering, is it possible that WindowBlinds or DisplayFusion can have anything to do with this?
 
Uniblue Registry Booster - comment from a trusted tech on another site I work on.
He ran the programme on a test machine on which had just ben installed Microsoft Office 2007. THat was the ONLY installation, other than the Windows. It found 1747 errors.
"You can run a scan with Uniblue Registry Booster on a pristine clean computer and it'll display several hundred "errors". That's to intimidate and entice you to buy it. And the end result of using it will be broken programs and a damaged operating system."

Stay completely away from cleaner/booster/optimizer/tuneup type programs, no matter what they claim they can do.
 
The first three are MIcrosoft Installer service related.
The next two are Nvidia and the last is related to the DVD/CD drive system.


I do not think we are going anywhere until you have eliminated RAM, System files checker, etc.
The sharing of resources does not raise any alarms to me.
