Computer will run normally and will BSOD after three or four hours. It will need to be restarted and will crash multiple times upon restart, until it will successfully load to desktop. Then it will BSOD again three or four hours later.

BSOD will have different errors. The main three I have seen are: Memory_management; IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL; and Bad_Pool_Header.


Used windows memory test. No problems detected.

Driver verifier (verifying third-party apps) was running on the last two dumps.

The perfmon report states that the computer failed Hardware Drive and Driver checks and System Service checks. Not sure how to read it, or if it is related but there was a number of failures.

Windows 7 computer; it is an eMachine which was upgraded from Windows Vista to Windows 7.

I have uploaded a number of dumps from the BSOD, two with Driver Verifier runnings, along with the perfmon and other information. If you need anything else or have any suggestions please let me know. Thank you!!!

 
re: BSOD every 2-3 hours; Memory_Management; Perfmon says Drivers Failed - Windows 7 x64

Hi,

MEMORY_MANAGEMENT (1a)

This indicates that a severe memory management error occurred.

Code: 
{[COLOR=#ff0000]411[/COLOR], c0419b68, 336d8c2, c0410369}

- The 1st parameter of the bug check is 411 which indicates a page table entry (PTE) has been corrupted.

Code: 
    [X] (0x00000000) Automatic Checks
    [X] (0x00000001) Special pool
    [X] (0x00000002) Force IRQL checking
    [X] (0x00000008) Pool tracking
    [ ] (0x00000010) I/O verification
    [X] (0x00000020) Deadlock detection
    [ ] (0x00000080) DMA checking
    [X] (0x00000100) Security checks
    [X] (0x00000800) Miscellaneous checks

I see a lot of old drivers, but verifier is enabled with various flags so this is very likely a hardware problem, specifically RAM.

Run Memtest for no less than 8 passes (several hours):

Memtest86+:

Download Memtest86+ here:

Memtest86+ - Advanced Memory Diagnostic Tool

Which should I download?

You can either download the pre-compiled .ISO that you would burn to a CD and then boot from the CD, or you can download the auto-installer for the USB key. What this will do is format your USB drive, make it a bootable device, and then install the necessary files. Both do the same job, it's just up to you which you choose, or which you have available (whether it's CD or USB).

Do note that some older generation motherboards do not support USB-based booting, therefore your only option is CD (or Floppy if you really wanted to).

How Memtest works (you don't need to read, it's only for those interested in the specifics):

Memtest uses algorithms (specifically two), namely moving inversion & what is deemed Modulo-X. Essentially, the first algorithm fills the memory with a pattern. Starting at the low address, it checks to see if the pattern was changed (it should not have been), writes the patterns complement, increments the address, and repeats. Starting at the highest address (as opposed to the lowest), it follows the same checklist.

The reason for the second algorithm is due to a few limitations, with the first being that not all adjacent cells are being tested for interaction due to modern chips being 4 to 16 bits wide regarding data storage. With that said, patterns are used to go ahead and ensure that all adjacent cells have at least been written with all possible one and zero combinations.

The second is that caching, buffering and out of order execution will interfere with the moving inversions algorithm. However, the second algorithm used is not affected by this. For starting offsets of 0-20, the algorithm will write every 20th location with a pattern, write all other locations with the patterns complement, repeat the previous one (or more) times, and then check every 20th location for the previously mentioned pattern.

Now that you know how Memtest actually works, it's important to know that the tests it goes through all mean something different. It goes from Test 0 through Test 12, many of which use either one or the other algorithm discussed above, among many other things.

Any other questions, they can most likely be answered by reading this great guide here:

Thanks. I am running RamTest now and will post results after 8 or more passes.

Great, let me know how it goes.

I left memtest running for 13 hours and over 8 passes. No errors found.

What should I try next? Thanks!

Recently this computer's monitor would not display when connected to computer. It was an issue with the computer. I took apart the computer. There appeared to be very slight burn/black marks on a very small piece (Transitor?) on the motherboard. My guess would be that something went wrong with a piece that controlled or was related to the video card.

This may have been the hardware problem that was causing this Blue screen of death and eventually it blew up. I'll never know. Ended up replacing the computer.

Case closed.
