[BSODallday]

I've seriously been slacking in seeking help. I've been getting BSOD since last year. It started out at once a month and kept getting worse. Now it's up to 4 times a day sometimes. I switched from a Radeon HD6870 to my old Geforce 9600 and that helped for a bit.

OS - Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit SP 1 - original OS not OEM
Hardware age less than 2 years
OS age less than 2 years. Never reinstalled

AMD Phenom II X6 1100T Black Edition Thuban 3.3GHz
Nvidia Geforce 9600 GT
ASUS M4A89GTD PRO/USB3 AM3 AMD 890GX SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 HDMI ATX AMD Motherboard
Antec BP550 Plus 550W Continuous Power ATX12V V2.2 80 PLUS Certified Modular Active PFC Power Supply

This is my first time posting on any kind of tech forum, I hope I got everything right. Would greatly appreciate any help!

Thanks for the reply and I hope I did that right. My friend is the one who assembled everything, I just gave him a dollar amount for the setup.

You have an ASUS OEM Notebook Windows installation attached an ASUS retail motherboard.

I am afraid your installation is not genuine. Non-Genuine Windows contains security leaks and also cannot be properly updated which may result in instabilities and blue screen crashes. If you were not aware that your Windows was Non-Genuine, contact your seller or the company that provided the seller and file a complaint. Also let Microsoft know of the problem: Protect Yourself from Piracy

I am sorry, but due to forum rules, we may not assist you further until you have installed a genuine version of Windows. To put the genuine Windows on, I strongly suggest you backup any important data, format your hard disk, and reinstall Windows 7 to make sure all remnants are removed of the software that you used to make Windows work before. If you do not clean re-install, you may be left with a compromised system and your identity, bank accounts, credit card information, etc. may continue to be at risk as they are now. Once you install a genuine version:

I finally found my old copy of Win XP and tried to install it just now. At the 35 minute mark it BSODs with IRQL NOT LESS OR EQUAL. I've tried 3 times now and it does the same thing. Any suggestions?

 

[writhziden]

That is likely a hardware fault causing that crash.


Hard Disk Diagnostics

Run some hard disk diagnostics:

SeaTools for DOS

Bootable Hard Drive Diagnostics​

I would also suggest making sure the system is clean of dust.

Dust Removal:

To remove dust, follow the subsequent general procedure. If you have a desktop bought from Dell, HP, Sony, Lenovo, etc. make sure removing the desktop casing will not void your warranty first. Call the company if you are still under warranty and ask if it is okay to remove the casing and blow dust out. The procedure described is fine for laptops; just make sure no stickers are on panels saying if you remove the panel it will void the warranty.

1. Shut down and turn off your computer.
2. Unplug all power supplies to the computer (AC Power then battery for laptops, AC power for desktops)
3. Hold down the power button for 30 seconds to close the circuit and ensure all power drains from components.
4. Remove the casing for a desktop, or remove any screwed on panels and disc drives for laptops.
5. Blow out the dust inside by using a can of compressed air or a low pressure compressor. You will want to put the computer on a desk or table so you can maintain the can in an upright position if using a can of air. Blow into all crevices on the motherboard, heat sinks, cards, modules, etc. for a desktop. Blow into vents, opened panels, disc drive areas, USB ports, and the keyboard if it is a laptop. You may also want to blow inside the disc drive by replacing the drive to the laptop, starting the computer, opening the drive, and then turning off the computer and removing all power as described above including the 30 second power button step. For a desktop, you may also want to blow inside the disc drive by starting the computer, opening the drive, and then turning off the computer and removing all power as described above including the 30 second power button step.
6. Replace casing for the desktop. Replace panels and disc drive (if you have not already done so) for the laptop.
7. Plug power supplies in. AC adapter for the desktop. Battery and then AC Adapter for the laptop.
8. Start the computer and see if performance is better.

Easier Laptop steps:

1. Get a can of compressed air...
2. Shut down and turn off your system...
3. Unplug the system from any docking stations...
4. Remove the AC Adapter and then remove the battery...
5. Hold down the power button for 30 seconds to ensure all power is drained from the components. This closes the circuit and allows any remaining power to dissipate; it also clears the temporary memory of corruption and resets hardware/software connections. No permanent changes are made to the system doing this step...
6. Use the can of compressed air to blow into every vent, crevice, keyboard key, USB port, VGA/monitor port, etc...
7. Replace the battery and then plug in the AC Adapter...
8. Replace the docking station...
9. See how the system runs after doing all these steps...

WARNING: Never use a vacuum cleaner or hair drier to clean dust out of your system!!

A vacuum cleaner will cause static build-up and damage components due to the discharge. A hair drier can cause components to heat up and possibly break solder joints; it may also cause static buildup on a cooler setting depending on the hair drier.

Try a hardware stripdown to see if you can locate the problem.

Hardware Stripdown

Before you proceed with the following, answer these two questions: Are you still under warranty? Does your warranty allow you to open up the machine to check hardware? If you are unsure of the answers to these questions, contact your system manufacturer. WARNING: The steps that follow can void your warranty!!!

Strip down your system to run only the bare essentials. Leave only the following items in the system:

1. One RAM module.
   
   
2. The Processor/CPU
   
   
3. The Processor Heatsink
   
   
4. One hard drive that has Windows installed on it
   
   
5. The Power Supply.
   
   
6. Remove the display card and run off onboard graphics if possible
   
   
7. Connect only one monitor, one mouse, and one keyboard. Remove all PCI cards that do not need to be installed except to run the mouse and keyboard.
   
   
8. Double check all power supply connections and make sure all cards are properly and firmly seated in their slots. A piece of hardware may be loose within the system due to being bumped or jostled. If unsure, remove everything but the CPU and heatsink, and then replace hardware one by one by gently but firmly placing the hardware back into the system.

As you add and remove hardware, follow these steps for ESD safety:

1. Shut down and turn off your computer.
2. Unplug all power supplies to the computer (AC Power then battery for laptops, AC power for desktops)
3. Hold down the power button for 30 seconds to close the circuit and ensure all power drains from components.
4. Make sure you are grounded by using proper grounding techniques, i.e. work on an anti-static workbench, anti-static desk, or an anti-static pad. Hold something metallic while touching it to the anti-static surface, or use an anti-static wristband to attach to the anti-static material while working. If you do not have an anti-static workbench, desk, or pad, you can use your computer tower/case by finding a metal hold in it, such as a drive bay.

Once these steps have been followed, it is safe to remove and replace components within your computer.


If the above steps still do not provide a fix, remove the processor and heatsink and make sure none of the processor pins, either on the processor itself or on the motherboard, have been bent.​
