Frequent & random BSOD ahcix64s.sys & ntoskrnl.exe
I retired several years ago from 20+ years as a computer tech for a large non-profit in midwest USA. Reading error logs is not one of my strong points. I am having repeated BSODs on my own computer for quite a while that I have not been able to resolve.
My DM Log Collector file is attached.
Sometimes it will run for extended periods of time without problems, while other times, it will blue screen on me soon after booting. I have had problems with the system hanging for 30 seconds or more, but that is probably something for another post.
Here are some of the things I have tried. There may be other things I have done, but did not document.
1. The 9 Gig memory is the original factory memory that HP installed. I ran Memtest 86+ for a day or two with no errors.
2. I have 2 WDC WD2001FASS-00W2B0 hard drives in a RAID 1 configuration. Western Digital Data Lifeguard & other drive tests have showed no errors.
3. Some of the things I have tried recently with no permanent success: Unselected AMD RAIDXpert Service in msconfig.
Uninstalled storage controller driver for AMD AHCI Compatible RAID Controller. ( That caused an Inaccessible boot device error for a few boots, but got that fixed.
Let Windows reinstall the RAID controller driver.
Tried several versions of the driver that Windows listed when trying to manually select the driver.
Downloaded RAIDXpert v3.2.1540 from AMD & installed. Device Manager now shows AMD AHCI Compatible Controller v 3.7.150.43 (12-11-2012).
None of these things have fixed the random BSOD problems. I am hesitating in "nuking & repaving" my PC, because I have some programs that I have installed (legally) from Giveaway of the Day - free licensed software daily that I would not be able to reinstall.
Thanks for your help,
Ken
