    Windows 7 Rare BSOD just became too common

    I've started Driver Verifier, hoping I have the correct settings (I followed the tutorial from Seven Forums, but it was one that indicated to enable IRP Logging and Force Pending I/O Requests - Driver Verifier - Enable and Disable - Windows 7 Help Forums), and only 3rd party drivers (not...

    Windows 7 Rare BSOD just became too common

    Unfortunately, the errors haven't been resolved. PFN_LIST_CORRUPT 0x99 and BAD_POOL_HEADER (after reboot, a 'cascade' type of BSOD - instability in the system from somewhere) 0x03. When reviewing the drivers each BSOD lists, they are always different, although ntoskrnl.exe has appeared a number...

    Windows 7 Rare BSOD just became too common

    Well, I've been wondering if I should have tried Driver Verifier before mucking about with RAM, but realised that in the case of corrupt memory, drivers accessing it will trigger BSODs. That means Driver Verifier wouldn't have helped out much if I suspected RAM (how to tell if it was purely the...

    Windows 7 Rare BSOD just became too common

    New RAM installed, 8gb this time. Turns out we didn't have matched RAM before, and one of the sticks came with the computer (brother thought we had 8gb when it was in fact 4gb). Won't have the opportunity to do much at the moment, fearing power cut any moment while work is being carried out in...

    Windows 7 Rare BSOD just became too common

    We've ordered new RAM, should arrive by the end of the week. It came as a surprise when the errors started in Photoshop, since they'd always been random in Windows and not tied to a particular event (unless it was a prior BSOD and I'd allowed the computer to reboot).

    Windows 7 Rare BSOD just became too common

    Yep, tested again last night with Photoshop after a whole day without issue. Photoshop appears okay if left up and idle on either monitor, even with images loaded, but not when I am actively drawing in it with my tablet. It now leads to a guaranteed BSOD, and if this is memory related (I do and...

    Windows 7 Rare BSOD just became too common

    Didn't have to wait very long on memtest. On the first pass, at Test #6, it got stuck at 77%. The errors were off the chart! Rebooted, went through again, and it got stuck on Test #2 at 24% then 40% (first pass). Will have to try again in a short while, but it didn't look good at all. My remark...

    Windows 7 Rare BSOD just became too common

    I used Nero Burning ROM, and chose the CD-ROM (ISO) option. I'll have to ask my brother, since we managed to get SeaTools for DOS running back in February. The motherboard is an Asus M4A78LT-M-LE. EDIT: Add a black screen into the mix. The computer auto-rebooted (no gaming, just internet...

    Windows 7 Rare BSOD just became too common

    Just grabbed Prime95, will test with it. Unfortunately, either I didn't set the boot order correctly, or didn't burn the ISO properly - memtest just won't boot from the disk. I saw the CD/DVD drive as first in the load order in setup, so... That said, suffered a...

    Windows 7 Rare BSOD just became too common

    Well, answered the question as to whether the latest Nvidia drivers fixed Skyrim's issue...that's a big fat NO. BAD_POOL_HEADER in-game, followed by a PFN_LIST_CORRUPT shortly after reboot. I first restarted in safe mode, no issue, then in normal mode (it was in the normal boot-up that it...

    Windows 7 Rare BSOD just became too common

    Can confirm not overclocking. I'm going to reinstall DirectX first, as someone had issues with BSODs while using the Creation Kit - and only while using it. Somehow, a dll had been corrupted. Second, Avast has not detected any malware, but I remain unconvinced, so I might download and try...

    Windows 7 Using CPUID Hardware Monitor and what to look for?

    I've been given the all clear on memtest. The errors have always seemed...odd. They started on the 19th December by all rights - a PFN_LIST_CORRUPT, thought nothing of it. Then the 25th December, and I also thought nothing of it. Nothing until the 31st January, then one on the 1st February (both...

    Windows 7 Using CPUID Hardware Monitor and what to look for?

    Certainly no updates by the game developers for at least two of those games, and they were fine previously. I would have also expected an error to occur last night as opposed to this morning while on the internet. The MEMORY_MANAGEMENT is an error that has not ever occured while playing a game...

    Windows 7 Using CPUID Hardware Monitor and what to look for?

    Games that never caused issues for months and months beforehand, and didn't cause any last night.

    Windows 7 Using CPUID Hardware Monitor and what to look for?

    All is not well... From my other thread in the BSOD forums, http://windows7forums.com/blue-screen-death-bsod/89124-rare-bsod-just-became-too-common-4.html: Unfortunately, a family member is convinced games are the cause since nothing happened for three weeks. Since as they know little of...
