Help with BSOD

This last month I have started getting BSODs and so far 3 today. Most have been 0x1e but the last one was a 0x7f. So far I have ran checks on the hard drive and I know nothing in the computer has changed hardware wise. Up until this last month the computer has been running excellent. I am A+ certified so you don't have to treat me like I'm helpless with the matter how ever I do have to go to work tonight. So I planned on throwing on memtest to run while I was gone. I also have the mini dumps collected and will attach them to the post.


If anyone would like to help analyze the Mini dumps and help me see if we can figure out the issue it would be greatly appreciated.

My specs are:
Liquid cooling loop
AMD Phenom II 955
8GB of OCZ ram 4x2gb
Asus M4a78t-e motherboard
EVGA GTX560 TI SC
Sound Blaster X-FI Fatality
Zotac GT 220 video card to power secondary monitors
Under 1 year old Corsair TX850w PSU
Western Digital Caviar Green HDD 500gb and 1 tb (Crucial SSD and new Western Digital 1tb in mail to replace the 500gb)
Twin SATA Asus DVD-RW drives

 

Hi JJ,

All pointers are to the nVidia drivers for this - but asacpi.sys is from 2005, which makes it a known cause of BSOD's in Windows 7, update it - http://www.asus.com/Motherboards/AMD_AM3/M4A78TE/#download and look for ATK0110 driver for WindowsXP/Vista/Win7 32&64-bit under Utilities, choose the Global link, not Global (DLM).

Any more BSOD's afterwards, please upload the dumps again, I'm hoping something will be different (or that there'll be no more crashes).

 

I had a somewhat sneaking suspicion that the video drivers might have had something to do with it. Seems like it's always the video drivers. Good catch on the ATK though. I guess I missed that one last time I reformatted. It was downloaded but never installed. So I will install that now and if I get another blue screen I'll post the dump as well as remove all nVidia drivers and clean install the nVidia setup. Thanks for the help. Maybe I can finish a game of Battlefield 3 now Finally got the crashes sorted out and then the blue screens started... so sad.

On a side note in case anyone reads this that is also having the BF3 crash issue with the GTX 560 Ti, I solved it by over clocking my video card... upped the GPU and memory clocks as well as adding more voltage to it. That little bit made everything stable.

 

Well I played battlefield 3 for five minutes and it crashed again, attaching the dump file. I think I saw it say nvlddmkm.sys when it flashed which is a nVidia driver if I recall. I will go ahead and try full nVidia removal and reinstall of the current version driver.

 

You have Daemon Tools installed, the sp--.sys driver and variants are known to cause problems with Windows 7, uninstall Daemon Tools and use the uninstaller at http://www.duplexsecure.com/en/faq to remove the sp--.sys driver.

The dump blames the video subsystem but the above may have been the trigger.

 

I actually don't have daemon tool installed, always hated that program. I've got alcohol 120 installed but it's the same version I've been using for the last year since I installed windows. I'd be surprised if that was the issue because up until recently windows wasn't having any issues. I've got a new SSD in the mail so if we can't get the BSODs taken care of I'll just wipe windows and start again.

So far the system seems to only have issues when the video card get into heavy use mainly in battlefield 3 or when I have netflix plus other video applications running.

As to winrar mounting images, what winrar does it not mounting. It's unzipping ISO to extract the file and then install them. While yes it can be a work around if I can avoid having to get stuck doing that I would really like to.

 

Daemon Tools/Alcohol 120% may use the same drivers, uninstall and use the earlier tool to remove the driver.

MagicISO is one of the least likely of that software type to cause BSOD's.
