Windows 7 Need Help! BSOD appears when computer idles for a period.

[hoff70]

I've been getting BSODs more frequent now, some when the computer idles for a period of time and I've gotten one or two just going through daily business. I've included the minidump. files if anyone could take a look. As always thanks for any help.

I've been getting BSODs more frequent now, some when the computer idles for a period of time and I've gotten one or two just going through daily business. I've included the minidump. files if anyone could take a look. As always thanks for any help.

At least half of these crashes were caused by vgapnp.sys/videoprt.sys. Both part of the win 7 OS. I would run a system file check to verify and repair system files and update all the driver listed below.

SFC /SCANNOW Command - System File Checker -


How To Find Drivers:

- search Google for the name of the driver
- compare the Google results with what's installed on your system to figure out which device/program it belongs to
- visit the web site of the manufacturer of the hardware/program to get the latest drivers (DON'T use Windows Update or the Update driver function of Device Manager).
- if there are difficulties in locating them, post back with questions and someone will try and help you locate the appropriate program.

- - The most common drivers are listed on this page: Driver Reference
- - Driver manufacturer links are on this page: Drivers and Downloads

THREAD_STUCK_IN_DEVICE_DRIVER_M (100000ea)
The device driver is spinning in an infinite loop, most likely waiting for
hardware to become idle. This usually indicates problem with the hardware
itself or with the device driver programming the hardware incorrectly.
If the kernel debugger is connected and running when watchdog detects a
timeout condition then DbgBreakPoint() will be called instead of KeBugCheckEx()
and detailed message including bugcheck arguments will be printed to the
debugger. This way we can identify an offending thread, set breakpoints in it,
and hit go to return to the spinning code to debug it further. Because
KeBugCheckEx() is not called the .bugcheck directive will not return bugcheck
information in this case. The arguments are already printed out to the kernel
debugger. You can also retrieve them from a global variable via
"dd watchdog!g_WdBugCheckData l5" (use dq on NT64).
On MP machines it is possible to hit a timeout when the spinning thread is
interrupted by hardware interrupt and ISR or DPC routine is running at the time
of the bugcheck (this is because the timeout's work item can be delivered and
handled on the second CPU and the same time). If this is the case you will have
to look deeper at the offending thread's stack (e.g. using dds) to determine
spinning code which caused the timeout to occur.
Arguments:
Arg1: fffffa8004fa6b60, Pointer to a stuck thread object.  Do .thread then kb on it to find
    the hung location.
Arg2: fffffa8004f5d9f0, Pointer to a DEFERRED_WATCHDOG object.
Arg3: fffffa8004f59850, Pointer to offending driver name.
Arg4: 0000000000000001, Number of times "intercepted" bugcheck 0xEA was hit (see notes).

Yep, the Sigmatel audio driver in particular is causing issues:

Unable to load image \SystemRoot\system32\drivers\stwrt64.sys, Win32 error 0n2
*** WARNING: Unable to verify timestamp for stwrt64.sys
*** ERROR: Module load completed but symbols could not be loaded for stwrt64.sys
Probably caused by : stwrt64.sys ( stwrt64+510d8 )

Update that to the newest possible. Update all the others too that Ken has shown, with the exception of spldr.sys, which is part of the OS and well.
