Hi all,
I've been having some trouble with my PC as of late, can't really pinpoint exactly when the BSODs started but it would have been shortly after installing a new graphics card, however I'm not totally convinced this is the issue. The BSODs seem to vary between IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL, DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL or SYSTEM_SERVICE_EXCEPTION.
Now all of these potentially point to a driver issue which is the basis I've been working on so far, but now not so sure. The blue screens happen in-frequently and I cannot replicate the action it takes to make them happen, they seem to be almost at random. Sometimes while gaming, sometimes while net surfing and sometimes when the machine is simply idling.
Let me run down what I've already tried to fix these:
- Memcheck86+ - 12 passes, no errors
- Reseating the RAM
- CHKDSK /R /F on all hard drives, no errors
- Using "Who Crashed" software to see what's crashing every time (more on that below)
- Updated all drivers, even uninstalled some and switched to different software (eg from DaemonTools to MagicDisc) to avoid driver issues
- Rebuilt BCD
So I've tried a few main things, left to try on the list is doing a repair W7 install and trying a different graphics card but the BSODs seem to be reasonably random in what goes wrong each time I can't pinpoint exactly what is wrong so that's why I'm reluctant to do either of those things.
"Who Crashed" has told me that a lot of the time it was ntoskrnl.exe that crashed but recently it's been a bit random. From dtsoftbus01.sys, hidclass.sys, saik0728.sys (that one was my bad and I know what caused it) and yk62x64.sys then finally ntoskrnl.exe again.
So really, what I need... is someone to point me in the right direction. I'm fairly tech savvy but troubleshooting BSODs is a real mystery to me. If anyone can help, please do let me know what I should be doing!
I've attached some of my recent BSOD minidump files for reference.
