Hello,
On my new Computer I experience a lot of Blue Screens. The Computer is bought in pieces and self-assembled in October 2011. I am running Win7 on a TrueCrypt encrypted system partition. No other Operation Systems installed so far.
When I assembled it I tested the Memory for ~10 hours with Memtest and had no errors. The Blue Screens appears in all kind of situations. When playing a game, working with OpenOffice, waking up from sleep-mode, or just sitting idle. Sometimes I leave my computer and when I come back 15 minutes later I find it had crashed in the meantime. So no user interaction was necessary.
I only recently started reading the BSOD text and so far encountered "MEMORY_MANAGEMENT" as the crash reason. With the help of the "Debugging tools for Windows" WinDbg-program I looked at some of the minidumps, but couldn't come to a conclusion. I am not sure how to read the output and the easy-to-read part ("Probably caused by : XXX") shows a different XXX almost every dump. I had Pool_Corruption, ntkrnlmp.exe (more often than the others), atikmdag.sys, cdd.dll, memory_corruption, dxgmms1.sys to name some. The crashes seem to become more frequent, especially in ~ the last 2 weeks. But - as always - I didn't change anything! ;-) No honestly, I did uninstall various programs I installed in the past weeks without finding one to blame. And as the crashes didn't go from zero to 100 in one day but increased gradually I have some doubts about an installed program influencing this.
The system is up-to-date with automatic updates and I am running MSE as anti-virus.
I am not sure if this is important, but I have another issue with this system: When transferring large amounts of data via the Gigabit Ethernet connection, I get transmission errors. No message though, but md5-checksums fail. This does not occur for the common "small file quickly done"-transfer, but when copying >2GB in one operation. The system on the other side is Debian 64bit running Samba. So far I am not sure where the transmission errors come from, it might be the Linux system as well.
I attached the CPU-Z Screenshots, my collection of Minidumps and the PassMark RAMMon HTML-Report.
I'd be very happy if you could recommend some actions for me to take to solve this issue.
Thanks. Lars
