Can someone Help me if at all possible? I have been getting random Bsod's and system freezing for quite some time now. I have tried things like running malwarebytes, uninstalling windows 10 and reinstalling, doing the same for my my GPU drivers, to no avail. I have run WhoCrashed and it comes back with back with these bug check:
[FONT=Segoe UI, Arial]
ntoskrnl.exe[/FONT] (nt+0x142760)
Bugcheck code: 0x157 (0xFFFFE00175890840, 0x1, 0x2, 0x0)


[FONT=Segoe UI, Arial]ntkrnlmp.exe[/FONT] (nt!KeBugCheckEx+0x0)
Bugcheck code: 0x157 (0xFFFFE00175890840, 0x1, 0x2, 0x0)

Sometimes I can run games fine for day and than BAM! freezes up on me or throws me a Bsod could this be a hardware problem?

Hi Rogue7. :welcome:

On gigabyte website there are these five motherboards with that "AMD 990FX + SB950 Chipset":
GA-990FX-Gaming
GA-990FXA-D3
GA-990FXA-UD3
GA-990FXA-UD3 R5
GA-990FXA-UD3 Ultra
GA-990FXA-UD5
GA-990FXA-UD5 R5
GA-990FXA-UD7

Imo, first possible culprit is gigabyte easytune, second is google drive.
If I were you, I'd try in this way:
  • Remove easytune (you can always reinstall it without problems, right?) and see if that helps.
  • If it doesn't, remove google drive and see if that helps.
  • If it doesn't, wait for other opinions.

:wave:
 
Sorry about that and thanks for the reply! The correct mother board is the GA-990FXA-UD3 R5.
Ok will do, I'll follow those steps and get back with you on the info.
 
Uninstalled Google Drive, I looked for easytune 6 in the control panel but I didn't see it there so I ran my cd that came with the mother board and every time I do run it I get a blue screen with this error.

crash dump file: C:\WINDOWS\Minidump\080716-21515-01.dmp
This was probably caused by the following module: [FONT=Segoe UI, Arial]gdrv.sys[/FONT] (gdrv+0x1809)

A driver references a user-mode handle as kernel mode. This appears to be a typical software driver bug and is not likely to be caused by a hardware problem.
A third party driver was identified as the probable root cause of this system error. It is suggested you look for an update for the following driver: gdrv.sys .

In c:\windows you have these files:
etdrv.sys
gtdrv.sys
gvtdrv64.sys
Click to expand...
They all come from gigabyte utilities:
gigabyte tools
Dynamic Energy Saver Advanced
easy tune

Easytune is available for download from your manufacturer website, hence it could be installed now with some other name or it was installed in the past and it wasn't totally removed.
Search for gigabyte software in your control panel - install/uninstall programs

:cool3:
 
Ok I did find it in the control pannel I was looking for easytune but it was labeled ET6. I have uninstalled it but still get a crash when I try and run my gigabyte disk have not tested with gaming yet. Thank you for your continued help it is very much appreciated. :D
 
Ok, I couldn't not find the files int the control panel so I searched the registry and deleted the folders from there. Fingers crossed lol,will update on info.
 
OK so even with the files removed I still get the same crash at least when I try and run my GIGABYTE CD

Going to try to run some games although previously the crash happened very sporadically in games sometimes within 30 minutes of launch then other times not crashing for a few consecutive days (giving me false hope -_-) will let you know. again thank you so much for your time and reply's

Yes, I went through this path in the registry editor to find all three files and deleted them: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services

I feel foolish as you did say windows multiple times went to (C:)/Windows/ and found all 3 of those files have removed them from there as well now.
 
ok with the new found info I tried booting the same CD, when I booted it, it re-created the file gdrv.sys resulting in the same crash. Although the other 2 files seem to be successfully removed.
 
K tired playing black ops 3 no blue screens yet but I now have an incredibly low and sporadic frame rate, could that be contributed to deleting those files? or maybe a messed up gpu? I've tried clean installing the latest driver multiple times, to no avail sadly.
 
No unfortunatly, I din't want to spam the forum, I have just gotten a new blue screen now:

Bug check description: This indicates that a driver has overrun a stack-based buffer.
This appears to be a typical software driver bug and is not likely to be caused by a hardware problem.
The crash took place in the Windows kernel. Possibly this problem is caused by another driver that cannot be identified at this time.

I have run malwarebytes with no hits clean installed new drivers... Im so lost -_-
 
Also about the gpu I was just wondering if these were signs of a failing gpu random bsod and system freezing all to textures not loading in game right. I apologize for being severely unexpired
