I also found what was causing part of my issue... Not the crashing, but, when I would attempt to do any overclock of ANY kind it would not allow booting. I found it was caused by my external hard drive... It would buzz at bootup and then computer would then reset all settings. Once I figured...
As an update...
I ended up testing the "good" sticks in the other ports on the motherboard with no issue. Put the "bad" ram back on, and still no issue. I had them paired different before (somehow they got switched and were not paired with the ram they came partnered with). So now they are...
No problem! I am going to put the other two sticks back in the same ports and see if its stable as well. If so, maybe the other pair of ram ports went bad on the motherboard.
I will keep you updated, regardless. Thanks!
A little update...
Decided to swap memory sticks around and remove half of them, and it turns out my problem was in the memory after all. Took out two sticks and have not had a BSOD since, and now I can overclock again. Before, it would not allow me to do ANY changes and boot.
Funny thing is...
MSE is going to start a full scan at 2AM tonight... See if I get the BSOD or not...
I did run the CHKDSK a few days ago and it was completed, but it said there was errors it could not fix. I posted the results attached in this thread a page back or so.
Thanks!
I must have uninstalled Avast via the program, as there are no files at all on the computer. I can't find any hints of it anywhere. I was more-so guessing before on my uninstall through add/remove.
I tried reinstalling MSE and ran a complete scan, however, it locked up around 30% or so and did...
I may have tried Avast right when I installed windows, but it did not work correctly so I uninstalled it via add/remove programs before getting MSE. Maybe I should remove all security software completely and see if that stops the crashing?
Usually, the main triggers of this crash have been...
Ok sounds good, I will run that tonight.
As far as antivirus, only running Microsoft Security Essentials. Which by the way, can never finish a full scan before I get the BSOD. Nothing else.
Results:
It found their were currupt files but unable to fix them. I attached the CBS Log.
Also, I did get blue screen viewer, but little idea on what to look for... If somebody could lead me in the right direction I would appreciate it!
Thank you for your input... I will give that a try next.
I ran Prime 95 Stress Test for several (5) hours and no problems detected... UNTIL at the very end, I started itunes just for giggles and it ended up showing some failure along the way.
I then ran the extended memory test through...
Interesting... I will try disabling defender and see how everything turns out. I will report back to you tomorrow with any new dumps, if any. But it seems like Defender acts strange on my computer... And it almost always locks up when I try to use it. So this could be the reason, I will give it...
Hello,
I have been scanning the internet for a while now trying to solve my W7 crashing issue... I have updated all my drivers, BIOS, and whatever else I possibly could. I don't know what to do from here.
It crashes at random times, with no rhyme or reason. It does it every few days, or every...
