BlueScreenView - BSOD help

[han_han08]

hey guys..my PC has been rebooting for some time now, I'm just ignoring it and letting it happen as usual, but I've grown tired and decided to finally ask help about it

 

is blueScreenView reliable? i don't really know what to do with this. =)

thanks

I don't know anything about Bluescreenview, but you could check in the windows event viewer

seem like a Kernal problem

 

did you do anything to the computer recently before this reboots happens?

 

what were your CPU temps?

 

RAM usage?

yeah, i know there's something built into PCs to view that..sorry I don't know where..i've tried looking for it in the accessories folder

RAM usage?

 

hmmm my PC reboots when its on idle and watching videos on youtube...but not when I'm gaming, I can go on hours without rebooting

 

what are you using in detecting CPU temp? i removed mine since it has a lot of bloatwares   i only have gpu-z

 

not sure what my ram usage was before the reboot..but just like now, only chrome tabs open: 2gb ram usage

 

windows 7

i3-4150

gt 630

2x2gb ram

320gb & 1tb HDD

For checking temps i use HWMonitor. 
My motherboard has a cool feature where when it is booted into windows, the LED Readout on the board displays my temps. 

One thing you can do is open up an admin CMD, and type "SFC /Scannow" (Without quotes). 
Let that finish and reboot. 

 

EDIT: BSV is my preferred tool to read dump files

ok thank you..i will find/DL that HWMonitor..

good to know this BSV is quite reliable..

 

will try that in CMD now..my pc needs a reboot anyway.

whoah, it did not prompt a reboot..is that good or???

not really an expert but did I do ur instructions correctly?

 

[Master Disaster]

HAL = Hardware Abstraction Layer

0x124 = General Hardware Error

 

Primary cause of this error is a bad OC so if you've got any OC in place remove it.

 

Test temperatures of both CPU & GPU to ensure system isn't overheating.

 

Next run a memory test, grab memtest86 and run it for at least one full pass (its usually better to do this overnight if possible)

 

Update any outdated drivers, especially RAID drivers.

 

Finally check out this page and follow its steps

thank you for the help.

i will grab HWMonitor and memtest86 and try to run it immediately... i am afraid my PC won't survive that overnight test since it will just bsod (i wake up to see my PC rebooted already and have a message of bsod when I log back in)

 

i have nothing OCed here, and not running raid (yet)..i will read the link you gave for the time being..

i am somewhat leaning into a hardware failure, these HDDs are very old now..

 

i'll be back when i have something

thanks again!

You did infact do it right. 

Since you have no OC or raid, i'm starting to think it's more likely hardware. 

Test your hard drives with a boot disk such as Hirens (9.7 is my favourite), run memtest for at least 45 minutes to 5 hours, depending on how much ram you have. 

This will not BSOD as it is outside of windows. If you do wake up to find you PC in windows, it is most likely hardware. 

If Memtest or the HDD tests find nothing we can move on.

Another thing you can do to test is boot into a linux live CD and use that for a day as your daily driver. Do the stuff that always makes you BSOD (watch youtube, netflix, etc). 

If it crashes in linux, start taking out hardware, one by one. 

Remove the GPU, test again, remove one stick one ram, test again etc. Keep removing parts one by one until you are down to mobo, PSU, CPU, and one stick on ram. 

Also try that ram in other slots etc. 

 

Good luck.

hey guys, i still havent found the time to do these..i had work yesterday and school last night and work again today..

i can estimate i'd be able to do this during the weekend (memtest)

 

i'll post the cpu and gpu temps later tonight if i can, but they were only in 40-50's..

the page you linked..we have the same problems and the same bloatwares from gigabyte! aside from the temp grabs I made the other night, i immediately removed some of the bloatwares using revo uninstaller, i'm hesitant to remove them all since this is my only way of accessing the bios (my keyboard doesn't seem to function during post, only until i get into windows)..i will try to reset the cmos for this..

 

another thing is that I'm having notification that my HDDs are in the same ATA channel, i will use another sata port when I open my case again.not sure if it matters though

thank you for your tips..however I am somewhat hesitant on using linux as I haven't encountered them yet    perhaps it's only time to learn them..hope I can ask you by then on how to do it

 

cheers!

My favourite distro of linux is Linux Mint. 

It looks a lot like windows, so the learning curve is not too sharp. 

You can either make a bootable USB drive, or partition your hard drive and install it there, so you don't lose your windows.

ok, so let's say I have found myself a copy of that linus mint. happy to say i've tried making a bootable usb drive, so i'd go with this one.

 

but if I do partition my hard drive and install it there, i will have an option during boot-up, right? choosing either windows or the linux? will it be like that?

i removed all of the bloatware from Gigabyte I installed. the link in the best answer has the same issue and bloatwares..

 

i have tried leaving my PC overnight which I am sure will prompt the BSOD, and it didn't, finally.

 

I will continue to monitor if any BSOD's will still occur and proceed with the more meticulous tests indicated above.

 

removing the bloatwares did me a favor on this problem, and clearing my CMOS solved my undetectable keyboard during post and hopefully solves my problem here:
