Windows 7 Windows 7 continuous crashing help...

[JDV]

Hello, I own an MSI GE60 running Windows 7 SP1. I have had it for a few months now with no issues, but as of late (past 2 weeks) its been crashing repeatedly. The first two happened back to back 2 weeks ago, and the most recent 3 happened back to back just last night. I really need help fixing this, as I do not want to spend money to get support. Below I will paste in my memtest, chkdsk, and dmp files. Thanks!

My computer is telling me that the W7F tool is unsafe, so I would like to try and work around it if possible. Here are the dmp files

Hi,
the first dump file blamed an xbox controller driver and the 2009 version is known for bsod's. Your other two dump files were both the same and means that some corrupt data, either a driver, system software or faulty hardware caused the crash.

Check that windows itself isn't corrupted. Find command prompt in the start menu, right click on it and choose run as admin. Type:
sfc /scannow
Press enter and await results.

I'd also remove Norton as it's well known for causing issues (you can always re-install later). Use this tool to remove Norton:
https://support.norton.com/sp/en/uk/home/current/solutions/kb20080710133834EN_EndUserProfile_en_us

Use MSE in it's place as it's very stable:
http://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/security/pc-security/mse.aspx

Post any new dump files.

I have just recovered from another BSOD... I also have begun the scan. While the scan is running, here is the latest dmp:

 

[JDV]

Just crashed again... Starting to become more often...

 

[JDV]

Ran SFC /SCANNOW and there were no violations.

 

[kemical]

Just checked the dump files and they are the same as above.

As suggested try removing Norton using the tool outlined above..


If the bsod continues please download the latest version of memtest86 here ( Windows memory tester will miss certain errors. This app will not):
http://www.memtest.org/
This guide although old explains how best to use Memetest86:
