Usbohci.sys BSOD lotsa fun

If your PSU is not functioning correctly that can cause all kinds of issues and it would go a long way in explaning a lot of things especially since you've got really good equipment. Do you have a digital multimeter that you can use to test the voltage?

0x8E errors are almost always due to harddware. Can you attach your most recent minidumps in your next post? You can Zip up to 5 together.

Also, when you reformatted again did you reinstall AVG? How are your connections between motherboard and HDs?

Hello again.....
Between the 2 Power supplies, i cant get the new system to run stable at all.
Both power supplies run fine in my old faithful tractor of a computer. I've tried 4 SATA cables on the new motherboard. Same thing.
I didnt install AVG at all yet, i'll do that tomorrow.
I do have a multimeter, but testing the PS with no loads on it seems kinda pointless.
I've had hardware monitors running logs on it, all seemed normal, no spikes or dips.
I'll have to get a few more blue screens before i attatch them again. I put the computer to bed for the night. I've probably got about 150 hours into this friggin AMD / ASUS computer....
I'm seriously reconsidering the choices i've made for hardware....

Hi FireHazard

Since you have plenty of free time and nothing better to do......

Wait on installing anything. If it is not stable it may be a waste of time at the very least.

How unstable, other words can it run long enough to do a few diags?

Questions below, answer by specifying the number and answer..

1. Was your last install a full format?

2. If so what other programs have you installed?

3. Have you done any M$ updates?

4. Have you copied any backed up/saved data back to the system drive?

5. How many partitions on this drive and do you have a second drive?

6. Do you have any external devices?

7.Have you used a Flash drive for any reason since your last format?

8. Is the system stable in Safe Mode?

9. Have you checked the event logs for a recurring error.

10 Is the XP CD you are using a Factory CD or a burned CD to produce a Slipstreamed SP?

Now some things to do.

After you have tested the stability in Safe Mode (and let me know results) then do the below.

Boot to the Advanced Boot menu but instead of Safe Mode chose VGA mode and check for stability here.

Then get me the Diags below.

Download ComboFix ( I do not suspect Malware yet until you answer my questions above) but do this to get recovery console. And it may find something.

NOTE: If you have had ComboFix more than a few days old delete and re-download.

Get it here: http://download.bleepingcomputer.com/sUBs/ComboFix.exe
Or here: http://subs.geekstogo.com/ComboFix.exe

Double click combofix.exe follow the prompts.

Install Recovery Console if connected to the Internet!

When finished, it will open a log.
Attach the log and a new HJT log in your next reply.

Note: Do not click combofix's window while its running. That may cause it to stall.

Then...

DDS
D/L to Desktop: DDS by sUBs from one of these locations:

http://www.techsupportforum.com/sectools/sUBs/dds
http://download.bleepingcomputer.com/sUBs/dds.scr
http://www.forospyware.com/sUBs/dds

double click DDS.scr to run

When complete, DDS.txt will open.

Click Yes for Optional Scan.
Save both reports to your desktop.
DDS.txt
Attach.txt

Attach the contents of both logs back here.

Next get these unneeded services out of the way.

Clean and tweak services

In services stop and disable all of the below just to get them out of the way for now for trouble shooting purposes.

Nothing is un-installed or deleted only disabled from running!

They can be put back anytime later but I would not, as none of them are needed by most home users and very few business users. Basically stuff M$ thought you should have.

Disabled uses no memory (RAM) and no CPU cycles.
Manual uses the RAM but a small amount of CPU.
Auto and not started they use even more RAM and CPU.
Auto and started even more RAM and CPU ..

Now in this case we disabling for trouble shooting purposes. But when we finish if you leave them all off until it is noticed that you need one (not likely for 99%) then it can be enabled.

Leaving these all off, then becomes a performance tweak/boost as they free some RAM and CPU cycles! Special note. If you are going to pick and choose then be aware that the small amount of RAM and CPU cycles of each one individually is not significant but as a group it is! So if you need most of them (or just think you do because you don't) then just as well enable them all)!

IF you are using a wired network card and "NOT" using wireless on this computer then you can
also disable

Wireless Zero configuration

Wireless Zero configuration is only used on computers with a wireless NIC like a Laptop. Do not disable Wireless Zero configuration on a Laptop. Has nothing to do with other wireless hardware like wireless routers etc.

In short if this computer has a CAT 5 or 6 cable and no ability to connect wirelessly if that cable is unplugged, then you can disable Wireless Zero configuration.

Awesome....i love having a list of things to try. At least it doesnt feel like i'm spinning my wheels doing the same things over and over.
I couldn't get that Active@ Killdisk to work, i tried 2 differnt ISOs. It boots to a little dos based menu, but when i click on the Killdisk, it just sits there for a while with some text at the bottom of the scree.
1. Yes Full format, not the NTFS Quick one....took about an hour and a bit.
2. The first and only thing i loaded up was WhoCrashed
3. All M$ updates are currently downloading
4. Have not backed up anything onto the new HD.
5. This install....2 partitions. Same result with one big partition.
6. 2 USB HD's, one currently using to drag the video drivers and chipset drivers over instead of downloading them all over.
7. No flash drives
8. Safe mode, i only tried to use it to use system restore after failing to boot.
9. Event logs showed a DCOM error or something, after googling it, found out it was nothing to worry about.
10. Factory CD, with SP2. Tried slipstreamed copies of XP32 and XP64.

I'm gunna run it with my new install for a while, so i can get some minidumps. I'm crossing my fingers, and plucking out a few grey hairs.

Thanks for the awesome replies.....best support i've found....by far.

Opps the reason I was asking about partitions and external drives was that may be where you are getting reinfected.

I suggest you immediately install Avira update and Full scan all drives.

If it finds and removes ANYTHING then follow with DrWeb from here:

Mike

Got to 98.7% done with Avira, before it crashed with a 0x000000D1 (Driver_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL)

Then after the reboot, about 1 minute in i got a 0x00000050 (PAGE_FAULT_IN_NON_PAGED_AREA)
nv4_disp.dll....i think.

I'm running memtest again.....so i'll post the minidumps after that.
Memtest, with both sticks @ DDR800, loaded BIOS setup defaults, and disabled USB LEgacy support.....

Important?

Up to that point had Avira found anything?

Mike

I think there was 1 "warning", is there a way to check the log file or something?
Found this in the log:
The file 'F:\System Volume Information\_restore{1D086EF5-E040-4BD8-962B-547750F1163C}\RP80\A0011113.exe'
contained a virus or unwanted program 'BDS/Pcclient.586' [backdoor]
Action(s) taken:
The file was moved to '49d84174.qua'!

I'm scanning again, and then i'm going to try older video drivers 178.24.

Finishes scan again.
Begin scan in 'C:\' <Main>

OK there should have been no virus!

Go here get DrWeb http://www.techspot.com/vb/post724044-3.html

Download but only run in Safe Mode!

Mike

Done, both run in Safe Mode, nothing at all found. Complete scans for both....i'll do some more testing on sunday. I have to get back to real life for a while.....

Try running in VGA Mode if more crashes!

Good job!

Mike

Hey folks,
Did some tweaking in the BIOS. Not too sure if i've had too much luck though. It seems a bit more stable, and it passed 2 Sisoft Burn In tests.
When i went to shutdown windows, it just sat there. Then after pressing reset, it wouldnt POST. No video, just the fans came on and the DVD drive was flashing once a second. The only way i could get the video back, was to turn the power supply switch off for a sec.

Also, it keeps crashing in the game that came with the motherboard (Call of Duty World at War). With the newest video drivers it would crash with an nv4_disp.dll blue screen. After uninstalling the drivers, booting into Safe mode, using driver sweeper, and installing older 178.24 driver. It just boots me out to the desktop. With one of these:
Event Type: Error
Event Source:
Event Category: None
Event ID: 0
Date: 3/2/2009
Time: 9:01:56 PM
User: N/A
Computer: AMD64
Description:
The description for Event ID ( 0 ) in Source ( ) cannot be found. The local computer may not have the necessary registry information or message DLL files to display messages from a remote computer. You may be able to use the /AUXSOURCE= flag to retrieve this description; see Help and Support for details. The following information is part of the event: 7.

The memor y passes memtest no problems.
Here are a few minidumps, before the mild tweaking.
The CPUZ screenshots are with the underclocking settings.

Anyone want to buy a computer? Needs work.....lol

I read your latest minidumos. here are the ones that I believe are the most pertinent:

0xA - memory corruption

0x50 hardware and 0x7E hardware but what was interesting about these two is right next to hardware in parenthesis was nv4_disp.dll which is an Nvidia display driver.

Also in both: FAILURE_BUCKET_ID: IP_MISALIGNED_nv4_disp.dll; perhaps mflynn might be able to lend greater insight.

Can those 0x0A errors be caused by bad video memory?

I found this....it basically is a whole bunch of people with similar problems.

I've tried all sorts of drivers for my nvidia card, it looks like i should have stayed away from nvidia.....
I'm going to try and do some benchmarking in VGA mode....

0x50 errors sure can be bad video memory and you've had a few of those errors.

0x00000050: PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA

Requested data was not in memory. An invalid system memory address was referenced. Defective memory (including main memory, L2 RAM cache, video RAM) or incompatible software (including remote control and antivirus software) might cause this Stop message, as may other hardware problems (e.g., incorrect SCSI termination or a flawed PCI card).

Hello again folks.
I got an RMA number for my video card. I'm currently using the onboard video. It blue screens the same thing. 0x05, 0x8E, seems to be the Win32k.sys and ntoskrnl.exe.....
So, i guess its not the video card if its doing it with the onboard video too.
I gave the computer to my brother for a while....i needed to take a break from it. The next thing to try is an IDE HD and yet another install of XP.
