Windows 7 - Driver Problems/BSOD

[Caj109]

Hello, I have been here before with my windows 8 system. But I've switched back to Windows 7 due to not liking windows 8.

I have done the same procedure and will post it.

I am posting this due to my system keep doing a memory dump due because of a corrupt driver, but have no clue of finding which one is corrupt. Plus it always restarts out of quesiton on it's own and doesn't give me a reason why.

If you're able to help that would be great!

· OS - Vista/ Windows 7 ? Windows 7 Home Premium
· x86 (32-bit) or x64 ? x64 Based - PC
· What was original installed OS on system? Yes
· Is the OS an OEM version (came pre-installed on system) or full retail version (YOU purchased it from retailer)? was a full and purchased.
· Age of system (hardware) - Hard Drive - 6 Months, PC - 1 Year+
· Age of OS installation - have you re-installed the OS? Yes, and having to get a new Liecense. But brand new windows 7 on its way.

· CPU - Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-2400 CPU @ 3.10GHz
· Video Card - NVIDIA GeForce GTX 560 Ti
· MotherBoard - H67A-S/H67A - FOXCONN/Intel

Hello there,

OK, both dumps you have given are showing the NVidia display driver as the cause of the crashes. The driver seems to be up to date:

0: kd> lmvm nvlddmkm
start             end                 module name
fffff880`04acb000 fffff880`055ec000   nvlddmkm T (no symbols)           
    Loaded symbol image file: nvlddmkm.sys
    Image path: \SystemRoot\system32\DRIVERS\nvlddmkm.sys
    Image name: nvlddmkm.sys
    Timestamp:        [B]Sat Dec 01 03:24:02 2012 (50B97852[/B])
    CheckSum:         00B0A675
    ImageSize:        00B21000
    Translations:     0000.04b0 0000.04e4 0409.04b0 0409.04e4

However, some other drivers seem to be out of date:

WinRing0x64.sys Sat Jul 26 14:29:37 2008 (488B26C1)
many different programs that center around the using of the WinRing libraries (found in Real Temp directory in this topic: Randomly Reoccurring BSOD - ntoskrnl.exe - Windows 7 Forums )
https://www.sysnative.com/drivers/driver.php?id=WinRing0x64.sys

UltraMonUtility.sys Fri Nov 14 01:10:30 2008 (491CD006)
UltraMon multi-monitor
https://www.sysnative.com/drivers/driver.php?id=UltraMonUtility.sys

Lycosa.sys Wed Sep 8 04:01:26 2010 (4C86FC86)
Razer Lycosa/Razer Tarantula Keyboard Driver. Older versions have BSOD issues with Win7

Links are included to assist in looking up the source of the drivers. If unable to find an update, please remove (un-install) the program responsible for that driver. DO NOT manually delete/rename the driver as it may make the system unbootable!


Once those have been updated, run some hardware tests based around the graphics card.

- Try running Furmark to stress test your GPU. Select your resolution and enable:

• Burn-In
• Xtreme Burn-In
• Post FX
• Settings -> Log GPU Temperature

Stop the test if any artifacts appear on the display or temperature levels exceed 90C. If no artefacts or distortion appears on the screen, consider the test passed. If artefacts do appear, make sure the card is properly seated. A full tutorial is available here: https://www.sysnative.com/forums/hardware-tutorials/3907-furmark-display-card-stress-test.html

- Then use the Video Memory Stress Test 1.7.116 to test your graphics card memory. Let the memory test run for at least seven passes; the more the better.

- Finally run Prime95 (64bit/32bit) Please run the 'SmallFFTs' then the 'Large FFTs tests. If any errors occur, stop the tests and post them back here. Once again, a full tutorial is found here: https://www.sysnative.com/forums/hardware-tutorials/3908-prime95-hardware-stress-testing.html

It is important to keep an eye on your computers temps during these tests. To do so, try the following software.

• Real Temp is a good CPU temperature monitor.
• Speccy - System Information - Free Download will monitor all hardware temperatures.
• HWiNFO, HWiNFO32 & HWiNFO64 - Hardware Information and Analysis Tools can be inaccurate for CPU temperatures, but is a good program for GPU temperature monitoring.
