Getting blank BSODs
Was wondering if anyone out there could help me with this problem.
Been getting the BSOD alot, but there's no error message! was wondering what could be the cause of this. Any help would be much appreciated!
It kinda happens quite randomly, though more often than it's when i'm playing games.
Awhile ago i was getting usb bugcode driver BSOD errors, but i have since updated the usb drivers (along with the gpu drivers and audio drivers). And it was fine for awhile.

My system is:
SN45G2V2
AMD Barton XP 3200+
2x512Mb
Maxtor 160 SATA
Radeon Sapphire 9800 Pro

Much obligers, and thanks in advance!!!

you should zip at least 7 of your latest minidumps and post back here. also, try running memtest to test your memory, and letting it run for 7 passes.

hey,
i've attached the last 8 minidump files in zip. Hope that's okay. It's in 2 batches.
I'm giving memtest a run now. Will report back.
Is there anything else that one might need to diagnose my sick pc?

6 crashes at "usbhci.sys", which is a USB Miniport Driver, with a bugcheck of FE.

1 crash at "atikvmag.dll" with a bugcheck of 8E. I think this is part of ATI display drivers.

update your mobo drivers, and your display drivers and see if that helps.

ran memtest for 7 passes, no errors popped up.

(i'm not sure what most of your last post meant,hehe) When you say mobo drivers, does that mean the bios?

Thanks for all your help so far btw. None of the other forums have even been a fraction as helpful!!!

try the chipset update first since your chipset driver is causing bsods, and if that doesnt help, then do a bios update.

btw, mobo drivers are drivers for your usb, lan, sound driver, built in mobo stuff, etc.

I redid the bios and reinstalled the graphis, sound and usb drivers. That seems to have done the trick i think. No more chronic BSOD. there was still 1 though, and i've attached the minidump file again. Just for the sake of thouroughness and being able to sleep soundly - could you possibly check that it's not related to the old problems?

Thanks a bunch for all the help! saving me from tearing sooo much hair out hehe

just to be on the safe side, uninstall your graphics driver, use Driver Cleaner to completly remove ati software, reboot, and install the latest drivers again.

this should help if the problems are because of a dodgy installation of ati driver.
