I haven't really been able to determine anything that triggers them it just seems to be random and happens once or twice every day or two.

I have a feeling it's memory related...

This is a game I play, It may be graphics related? As this game is quite large and there isn't much about other people having the same problem, actually my last desktop played hon for 6 months without a BSOD.

Also I just had a BSOD attack where I BSOD'd 6 times in about 6 hours, I uploaded the dumps, they were various different error codes.

Also I thought I'd post a bit more about the BSOD's:
Once my computer restarts from a BSOD it usually is in the Window 7 classic theme (Non-areo) and my wireless adapater is off, to get it to go back to aero and get my wireless adapter back on i need to manually start the wireless adapter service, not sure how/why that fixes the whole aero thing, but it does

ok download a program called Memtest86+
this program will test your ram for faults

Take all the ram out of your pc except one,
stop at 7 passes ( the pass count in the middle not the top)
OR
untill you get errors ( red lines accross lower part of screen) + error count will increase
which ever comes first
if the RAM passes then this is ok, if the ram fails then put this to the side
You need to check all RAM you have and do the same as above
7 passes may take a few hours so be patient :)

Oh yeah I forgot to add that.

I have tried to run memtest many times and when I do it crashes within 2 seconds of starting and just restarts my laptop.

if you crashing on 2 seconds then its faulty or fault board, take that stick out
 


Yup, if you have 4 sticks, and one is erroring you cant tell which is bad, so one at a time is the way :)
 


Ok I tried both RAM sticks in both slots to no avail, still crashes just moments after starting, I can see the light blue memtest screen for just moments before it restarts and goes back to my BIOS and starts booting windows.
 


Just passing by and thought I would add a few things.

Your exception code (error code) is 3b and it often is
This error has been linked to excessive paged pool usage and may occur due to user-mode graphics drivers crossing over and passing bad data to the kernel code..

Since the first parameter (c000000x5) means a memory exception (commonly called a double fault) it is usually caused by a driver (perhaps video?) which can be identified by running driver verifier.

Verifier often (though not always) will point directly at the offending driver and if it does we can repair/re-install, etc.

Here is how.

I'd suggest that you first backup your stuff and then make sure you've got access to another computer so you can contact us if problems arise. Then make a System Restore point (so you can restore the system using the Vista/Win7 Startup Repair feature).

In Windows 7 you can make a Startup Repair disk by going to Start....All Programs...Maintenance...Create a System Repair Disc - with Windows Vista you'll have to use your installation disk or the "Repair your computer" option at the top of the Safe Mode menu .

Then, here's the procedure:
- Go to Start and type in "verifier" (without the quotes) and press Enter
- Select "Create custom settings (for code developers)" and click "Next"
- Select "Select individual settings from a full list" and click "Next"
- Select everything EXCEPT FOR "Low Resource Simulation" and click "Next"
- Select "Select driver names from a list" and click "Next"
Then select all drivers NOT provided by Microsoft and click "Next"
- Select "Finish" on the next page.

Reboot the system and wait for it to crash to the Blue Screen. Continue to use your system normally, and if you know what causes the crash, do that repeatedly. The objective here is to get the system to crash because Driver Verifier is stressing the drivers out. If it doesn't crash for you, then let it run for at least 36 hours of continuous operation (an estimate on my part).

If you can't get into Windows because it crashes too soon, try it in Safe Mode.
If you can't get into Safe Mode, try using System Restore from your installation DVD to set the system back to the previous restore point that you created.
 


Sorry for not replying in a while, I've been on holidays.

Now I done verifier like you asked and after about 24 hours it crashed again with a Memory fault.

I uploaded the dump.Link Removed

Memory management caused by your video driver. PLease do the following


1-Re-install video driver with newest using this method.


When upgrading your graphic driver you MUST remove all traces of the current driver. In order to do that we recommend using Link Removed


Phyxion.net - Driver Sweeper

When it is removed then download and install the fresh copy.



2-Download a copy of Memtest86 and burn the ISO to a CD using Iso Recorder or another ISO burning program.

Boot from the CD, and leave it running for at least 5 or 6 passes.

Just remember, any time Memtest reports errors, it can be either bad RAM or a bad motherboard slot.

Test the sticks individually, and if you find a good one, test it in all slots.

I managed to get memtest to run.

It was on pass 0 at 53% and the runtime was exactly 15 minutes it stopped and said "Unexpected interrupt - Halting CPU" and had 6,171,392 errors.
 


Hi,
Is there any chance of you getting cpu-z and posting shot of each tab including each memory slot. Memory corruption can be caused by either defective ram or slot or a lot of the time a misconfiguration of the memory timings or voltages and cpu-z will allow us to check that out.
 


Just looking at those and your memory timings are wrong :(

Can you go into your bios and set Tcl 9 Trcd 9 Trp 9 Tras 24 Trc 33 CR 2 and Memory freq to 1333(666) then see how it goes.
 


I just went into my BIOS and couldn't find anything to do with memory timing, the BIOS seemed to be extremely limited in the amount of configuring you could do I'm not sure how to change the timing.
 


What motherboard do you have? Is this a oem system? Have you looked for a bios update?
