Various BSODs - ntoskrnl.exe seems to be at fault
Hi there,
I've recently built a new computer, and everything seemed to be working fine up until a few weeks ago when I got a BSOD - okay no biggie I'll look it up and, oh, a different BSOD. This was the beginning. Since then I can't seem to use my computer for long periods, or play games (intensive and not intensive, doesn't seem to matter which).
I tried to see if it was my graphics card, so I ran Furmark and OCCT, both of which said it's absolutely fine, but I did a clean install of my AMD drivers just in case, unfortunately this didn't solve the problem.
I also stressed the CPU and PSU using OCCT, which also returned negative.
I then decided to use MemTest, and left that running for 14 passes (overnight), and again no negatives.
Frustrated I decided to get a BSOD dump viewer, "Blue Screen View" which showed me that every single BSOD had been related to the ntoskrnl.exe (ntoskrnl.exe+ 142760).
I tried using driver verifier both on 'all drivers' and specifically on this ntoskrnl.exe, but apart from giving me Driver Violation Detected BSODs, it didn't seem to help me much at all because I'd no idea how to chase up the results.
Here's a list of BSODs I can remember getting since the issue started:
- Page fault in non-paged area
- IRQL not less or equal
- Memory management
- Bad pool header
- Special pool detected memory corruption
- Driver verifier detected violation
I'm really running short on ideas here as I've no idea how to proceed in tracking down the problem.
And so, I turn to you guys for help - please find attached the dump zip as requested in the sticky. And please let me know if there is any more information I can provide that would help you in helping me.
Thanks in advance!
