CLFS BSOD every 31 minutes

OK, this is freaking great! My computer has been going for 24 hours and I have not had a crash. I am ready to say solved! So many different things were tried, but in the end it seems the solution came down to removing the Intel drivers and reinstalling them. Thanks so much to xilolee and xer...

12 hours idle without a BSOD! Will continue to followup.

CLFS BSOD every 31 minutes

Sorry, I had to install the Intel Management Software because of a device driver error otherwise. But I installed the version downloaded from the Gigabyte site.

CLFS BSOD every 31 minutes

UG, I'm pretty much appalled at Intel driver installation. They have a driver verification tool, but it failed to install properly and googling showed that MANY people get the same install error and Intel's responses have been less than adequate. I looked at the error log and it looks like files...

I reinstalled the Intel Graphics Driver yesterday. I'll check out the other Intel programs and reinstall.

Still bsod / rebooting on a regular basis. Apparently no one has been able to determine anything from the minidumps. Would a full memory dump help? Is there any other program that can monitor & log what is going on just before the crash?

CLFS BSOD every 31 minutes

This morning I woke up to find that the computer was (again) crashing every 30 minutes or so. This was at a login prompt, so obviously no user-specific programs were responsible. I have attached a new log collection, except that I removed all the minidumps except for the most recent as they are...

CLFS BSOD every 31 minutes

12 hours later and no bsod UNTIL I woke up my system. Screen was blank, hit keyboard, system work up and then the dreaded clfs.sys bsod reboot. That is different than my previous pattern of bsod only when idle. Obviously not great but still better than before. Any other suggestions let me...

CLFS BSOD every 31 minutes

Interesting: I uninstalled all Gigabyte utilities as mentioned above and the three drivers were NOT uninstalled in the process! I deleted them manually. I am writing this at 1:15 PM. My last BSOD was at 8:55 AM which is excellent (so far.) Keeping fingers crossed; I'll update later.

1) Yes, I have the Gigabyte utilities installed since the beginning of the computer. @bios allows the bios to be updated (bios is current). Autogreen is a power management utility which I don't use. EasyTune is a way to do overclocking & such but I am running with the MB defaults and haven't...

Yes, I do have an F: drive with that path. I know abut the Quicktime thing and removed it a while back, but then realized I needed it for a single program, Transcribe! which uses it to play videos. The authored released a newer version that doesn't require Quicktime, but which does require...

CLFS BSOD every 31 minutes

Wow, talk about coincidences! I was changing my scheduled task to pipe process list into a file every ten minutes hoping I might see something funny before a crash. Was just going to look at my path to see if c:\utils was still there. So I re-did the path as you suggested correcting two...

Ah, no go. It's been idle for a few hours and finally blue screened. Ideas, anyone?

CLFS BSOD every 31 minutes

Since the problem only occurs when the computer is idle, I now have a task going every 20 minutes during idle. All it does is run a batch file that does a "DIR > nul". Edit: Interestingly, the task history says that the task is not being run because the computer is not idle. This article...

Oh, I forgot to mention. The bsod/reboot will occur even when the computer is just sitting at the logon screen.
