Hi Guys,
This is the first time I have posted as a user, ive found your forums useful in the past but this time I really need your help!
My harddrive gave up the ghost a month or two back, so I bought a new SSD. I had some trouble with BSOD over the next few weeks, programs wouldnt install properly, all sorts of trouble. Finally yesterday I got around to sorting out the problem. I hadnt installed my SSD correctly which was one of the main reasons things were going wrong, happily I have sorted that problem. I was also running 4 sticks of RAM, but as my motherboard has a 16GB limit I had 3 sticks of 4GB identical ram, and 1 2GB, different manufacturer stick. I have removed this stick in the hope it would solve some of the BSOD's.
So after a clean install that went well, I woke up this morning to find that while installing some software overnight I had BSOD'd. I have absolutely no idea what this can be after a clean install of windows 7 so here I am.
BSOD's and troubleshooting:
The first BSOD was a PFN_FILELIST_CORRUPT message.
I ran driver verifier on all my systems drivers to try and find out what this was.
The verifier caused a BSOD when it found the driver, and gave me the error: special_pool_detected_memory_corrupt. I understand this is a verifier specific error.
However, I didnt get a complete dump message as I had reduced the virtual memory. I increased it, ran the test again, got the BSOD and a complete memory dump which was messaged: A DEVICE DRIVER TRYING TO CORRUPT THE SYSTEM HAS BEEN CAUGHT. Unfortunately it didnt not give me the file name, which I assume is in the dump files (which I have attached) but I have reached the edge of my intelligence and dont know where to go from here to go about rectifying the problem.
My system:
Windows 7 home premium
ASRock AM3 motherboard
AMD Phenom II x4 955 processor
12GB RAM (3 x 4GB)
120GB SSD
any help would be greatly apreciated I really dont know where to go from here. If you need any other information from me please just let me know!
Thanks a lot
Liam
