Random BSOD, 2-3 times a week.

post #1 of 5
Thread Starter 
Minidump.zip 478k .zip file

I have been having this trouble with random BSOD's for quite some time now that I can't quite sort out. I have ran Memtest for 50+ passes, uninstalled and reinstalled video card and sound card drivers. Not sure where else to look. I have attatched the contents of my Minidump folder, although for some reason it's not showing the dumps from the last 30-40 BSOD's including 2 from today.

Thanks in advance.

Also, not listed in system specs is my new SSD currently used as my boot drive, which is an OCZ Agility 3 if that makes any difference. This problem has been occurring since shortly after I got it and did a clean install.

Have you installed the latest firmware for the SSD? If you haven't done updated the firmware, do that ASAP. If you have, I'd recommend installing Windows on a backup drive if you have access and see if you no longer crash / BSOD.

Moving on, we have tons of different bugchecks here and none of them really point to anything of value as far as process faults go and such (mostly points to ntkrnlmp,exe which is part of the OS and is just another way of saying Windows couldn't pinpoint the culprit on its own). The most I see is a dump from back in March pointing to the Creative Audio Driver, but after that... it's not listed as a culprit anymore. The newest dump out of all of these is from April 26th. With this being said, if any suggestions I make have already been done, I apologize. Not having the latest dumps written may be an indicator that your SSD is the issue, but of course it cannot mean that at all.

Taking a look at your loaded modules list from the April 26th dump:

1. dtsoftbus01.sys is listed, this is the Daemon Tools driver. Daemon Tools is notorious for causing BSODs in the W7 environment, so please fully uninstall Daemon Tools. Optional programs that do the same thing are PowerISO, ImgBurn, etc.

2. Lachesis.sys is listed, which is obviously the mouse driver for your Razer Lachesis. The software for this driver is very buggy and a huge causer of BSODs in Windows 7. I would more than recommend uninstalling your Lachesis drivers and sticking to the traditional generic Windows mouse drivers. If you'd like to keep the mouse drivers for whatever reason, at least uninstall the Lachesis drivers temporarily for troubleshooting reasons.

3. Your Creative drivers are from 2008... are those the latest you can get for your sound card? AFAIK, Creative created drivers up until ~2010 for the X-Fi series cards.

Edit: Just noticed you don't have a sound card listed, so you're probably using onboard audio... which would make sense as to why the drivers are dated 2008.

Uninstalled Deamontools, and updated sound driver, which I thought I had done already. I do have an X-fi Extreme Music, I forgot to put that in my specs.

Firmware is latest for both SSD's currently, and I do not have enough space on any drive, nor a spare drive available to do another install to at the moment.

Windows automatically loads a Lachesis driver, not a generic mouse driver when I uninstall it. I have uninstalled the software, and had it delete the driver when I uninstalled the driver itself. It loads from windows update.

Other than that, I haven't seen the BSOD in 2 days now, but if it pops back up again I'll let you know.


One last note, is there some setting I'm missing that would have made it stop saving minidumps?

There are many variables to a minidump not being written, the most common is the crash occurring before the stage in which the writing occurs.

My recommendation is to not install optional updates, because you end up with out of date drivers like your Lachesis driver which is dated from 2008.
