    The memory test just completed 8 passes with no errors. It took over 19 hours. Any idea about the significance of the designation of the nvidia drivers as ODE or QNF? Nvidia site "recommends" for my card driver 353.82, but the latest is 355.85, which is designated QNF. Additional thoughts on what I should try next?

    Try the driver that Nvidia suggests.

    If I plug in my video card details on the nvidia website to see what is the latest "certified/recommended" driver, it gives m 353.82, which is what I have loaded. It was released in early August 2015 and is designated ODE for "Optimal Drivers for Enterprise". There is a newer one that is 355.85 (9/3/2015 release) and it is designated QNF for "Quadro New Feature" driver. It is not a beta but almost appears to be somewhere in between beta and certified. The one they tell you to use depends on what category you tell it to search for. My inclination is to load the most recent 355.85 QNF driver and see what happens. I can always revert back to the current one. Agree?

    Please make sure you first backup your stuff, create a restore point and create restore media (in case you have no media)

    When I got home today the computer had crashed four times in less than an hour. Attached is the most recent dump file. Any new info in it? I have not yet changed the driver. Thanks in advance.

    Please do the following

    • Open an admin command prompt
    • Copy/paste "sfc/scannow" (without quotes) and press enter
    • When it finished reboot your system
    • Open again an admin command prompt
    • Enter sfc/scannow again


    If sfc/scannow doesn't say "Windows Resource Protection did not find any integrity violation", please upload the cbs.log file located at {windows partition}\Windows\Logs\CBS\, if the file is too large try a 3rd party uploader like dropbox, onedrive, google drive, mediafire etc.
    System File Check(SFC a.k.a. Windows Resource Protection) needs to have your system rebooted in order for sfc to try to fix the problems that it finds.

    Please do the following

    • Open an admin command prompt
    • Copy/paste "chkdsk C: /r" (without quotes)
    • Reboot if asked and whait until it finished, it may take quite a while.





    Diagnostic Test

     DRIVER VERIFIER


    warning   Warning
    Please make a backup of your important files and get your rescue media or create one.
    Please create a restore point.

    Please follow this tutorial run driver verifier.

    Some windows drivers are blamed in a few crashes, but that usually means that a 3rd party driver is actually the cause.
    Driver verifier stresses your drivers and will crash your pc if any driver fails due to a violation.

    Driver verifier should be performed for a max of 48 hours, or when you have a bluescreen, whatever comes first.

    If driver verifier has found a violation and you can't get back into windows normally, try to boot into safe mode and reset in safe mode driver verifier, or in the troubleshooting options open command prompt and type verifier /reset.

    Note   Note
    Your system will act very sluggishly while driver verifier is enabled, this is normal as your drivers will be being subjected to heavy testing in order to make them crash.

    I ran sfc/scannow and it reported no violations. I have already run driver verifier until it crashed. I loaded the newest QNF nvidia driver last night. Overnight it crashed twice. Attached is the file. Seems like I am running out of options. Thoughts.

    Please make sure to update the software, for example Datacolor Spyder3 has drivers from 2007.

    Please scan your system with Windows Defender and Malwarebytes free.
    In the installation of Malwarebytes make sure to uncheck the trial of the premium version.

    Please make sure all the partitions have at least 10-15% free space.

    Please disable startup items in taskmanager.

    If you're using RAID for your hard drives, please update Intel Rapid Storage Technology.
    If you're not using RAID, please disable IRST.
    Code:
    1: kd> lmvm iastorastart             end                 module name

    I thought I had disabled IRST but now I can't find it. Not sure why driver is flagged.
