W7 64bits crashing while watching internet videos

So wht are your video card temperatures like now during video watching? Did this latest crash occur while watching a video?
 
New crash whit two videos loaded but not playing... It crashed while copiying some file to a Raid1 partition and windows took a long time to start... now Intel Matrix Storage says that the volume it's initializing... I have acces to the partition and files are still there, I guess it's just comparing the two hard drives to see that boot have the same files, still that was scary.

Should I start an RMA process?
 
It certainly could be your RAID set-up. Please refresh my memory. Did you run any harddrive diagnostics?
 
No, but the error in raid ocurred after the crash... (cause i was copying a file when the system freezed and I had to reset).

Hung ups are obviously less frequent now... I just had two since the last driver replacement... but still worriying
 
Help please... I'm coming back home this christmas... what should I do? RMA the graphic card? more testing? take it and test in another PC?
 
Gonna try to install Google Chrome on the Raid1 and set caché on this volume to... this way maybe I could find if it is some raid related fail... does this will work or it's a crazy idea?
 
Well Chrome just installs directly on C:/ I wanted to use it cause integrated flash player...

I've fopund something that coould be interesting accesing to system info (conflicts/shared use), here's an screenshoot, if you need translation ask for it:

In "devices with problems" says the next:

archlp ROOT\LEGACY_ARCHLP\0000 This device is not present, doesn't work properly or it's drivers are not installed

Also I´ve found this web: http://ezinearticles.com/?Flash-Player-Crash---Learn-How-to-Fix-a-Flash-Crash-in-Your-Computer&id=4063142

I never uninstalled active-X or update audio drivers... I guess I should give it a try

Also I think I've two audio drivers... one for realtek and one for ati... bu I thought Ati High Definition Audio Device was for the HDMI port... not sure anymore
 
Have you done a BIOS update or a chipset drivers update yet? Sorry if I missed that you did.
 
No... gonna update all this... thanks

Never updated Bios or chipset (should I put it in a USB and boot it?)

Seems like asus has a program for bios update but does not work in 64bits (nor with compatibility)

and chipset is just an executable, sorry
 
Why will it not work in 64bits? I do updates via Windows online. Two things: NEVER lose power and NEVER do over a wireless connection.
 
I do have a wireless connection, but I've downloaded de ROM... gonna search if I can install it with windows update that way

Ok, Bios updated... chipset did nothing, I guess there's no newer drivers, uninstalled Ati HD audio and downloading realtek drivers (painfully slow).

I'll reinstall Firefox, Flash Player an activeX...

Last try before I go home with the GPU under my arm
 
Did everything I said in the last post (except I installed Chrome instead Fierfox) and keeps crashing

Run out of ideas

I've just did a registry clean with Ccleaner (previous backup) and has eliminated some activeX entries... cross fingers

And this didn't work either, seems like checking the GPU is next move... maybe I'll make a memtest+ pass, who knows, could be that again?
 
I've made 7 passes of memtest+ without errors as expected, and have been runining rthdribl.exe to stress GPU for more that two and a half hours, no crashes, max temp 65ºC, load between 80 and 95%

Gonna make some more search for malware (if that's the problem it's gonna be a little embarrasing :p)
 
Used Malwarebytes and Superantispyware to scan the PC, just Superantispyware found some cookies (some related to macromedia flash :p) and deleted it. Also have tried disabling "switcher" a mac's expose like program I've been using lately... none of this did anything.

I've some artifacts, pretty much on web browser's... thing is that it see,s I can do everything except watching videos... working on AE for hours without problems, some gaming, pushing GPU for a couple of hours...

As I stated on my first posts disabling hardware acceleration did nothing... I'll see if this holydays it's posible to test the GPU in another PC or this machine with another GPU
 
Testing that card in another machine is the best thing at this time. I'm wondering if it could be the motherboard slot.
 
I did take the card out of the cas for the cooler installing... I hope not to have killed my mobo... I've a second PCI-E slot, should I try on this?
 
seems like it's working... I'll try again in the first slot to see if it was bad seated or it had dust or something

I'll see if I can get another gpu to try at home... cause I can take the hole PC, not much time left to try TY and happy Christmas

Merry Christmas to you too. :grinthumb

I really hope that it is only the slot. Please keep us updated.
 
Back on my computer after holidays and everything keeps the same... GPU installed on the second PCI-e slot keeps crashing so I guess it's windows related or GPU hardware.

I'll try with a fresh W7 install I guess
 
Seems like now it's crashing without any video playing or anything, that also seems to confirm GPU failure, problem is I need a couple of weeks before I can do a fresh W7 install or send the GPU to RMA.
 
W7 notificates that the ATI driver stopped working 1 time... I'm not sure if that indicates a software problem, we'll see when I do the format I guess.
