BSOD became very frequent over the past few days.

flyme · 12 May 2016

Hey guys, i've had troubles with this computer everyday since i've had it (almost 4 years). It BSOD everyday since i've had it with some times breaks in between or some being multiple times per day. Its finally gotten to the point where its only having 2 different types of problems(as far as I know).

Anyways in the past few days i've crashed very many times and almost every time I get the System_Service_Exception
with nothing else after it, no code or anything.

Would Appreciate any help!

I've ran the driver verification tutorial and had to system restore my computer because it would BSOD on every startup without fail. This was the error it gave me, and I don't know if i'll need to upload a new dump file since I restored.
DRIVER_VERIFIER_IOMANAGER_VIOLATION(ScpVBus.sys)

Update 2: Now my computer does not BSOD as far as I've seen but it just make the screen black and restart. It seems like the same problems but without a BSOD

Hi flyme,

Welcome to the 10forums :)

I have 3 things I would like to mention
1. Make sure that you visit Windows Update to install updates, it looks like you haven't installed any update but that shouldn't be possible after 3 months.
2. Update your BIOS
3. Update your network drivers, they seem to be causing a lot of crashes though I'm not sure about all of them as it would take too much time to analyze everything properly.

Visit Z87-K | Motherboards | ASUS Global
and install the newest BIOS update and update the network LAN drivers.

Code:

2: kd> lmvm au630x64
Browse full module list
start             end                 module name
fffff800`b0080000 fffff800`b0144000   au630x64 T (no symbols)           
    Loaded symbol image file: au630x64.sys
    Image path: \SystemRoot\system32\DRIVERS\au630x64.sys

Step 1 was a little confusing because I checked from the settings of the computer and scanned for updates and it only told me that I was up to date as well as following instructions from Microsoft web site to find and download more.

Step 3 was easy enough BUT I will point out that a huge problem is that I would get a BSOD every once in a while for something involving a tcpip.sys error that would cause my computer to lose the tcpip protocol and not be able to repair it with even administrative privileges, so I would either giving up on fixing it and wake up the next day to find it working again, or I would reset the computer multiple times until it worked again.

Step 2 im a little bit unsure of how to do because the most recent download for the Windows 64 bit version comes in a .cap extension and I could not find the Winflash tool that ASUS was interfering was needed.

In most cases 'unknown' extension files mean that you need to boot into the BIOS and update through there choosing a USB stick that contains the file(s).

Regarding step 3, currently it is because of the age of the driver. It is good practice to check for BIOS, software & driver updates once in a while. Normally it is a good thing to stay up to date with anything, unless otherwise specified or if problems occur for reasons.

It looks like everything got fixed after I updated the realtek drivers and to make sure I followed your instructions I updated my BIOS as well, Thank you!
