Blue screen crash during simple tasks on Custom PC

[marcus8h]

Hey all, I have had this custom built pc for roughly three years now with minimal hiccups. Lately though I have been experiencing random crashing during the most simple of processes. This last time was during the extraction of a file with Winrar while I was surfing the internet. Simple enough I thought? I do not claim to be an expert at building custom computers therefore I may have indeed set something up wrong in the BIOS, I am open to any ideas.
Here's my Specs:

OS: Windows 7 Home Premium (latest update)

Graphics Card: Asus HD7970 GDDR5-DC2-3GD5

Memory: Gskill Ripjaw x 32gb (4x8gb)

PSU: CoolerMaster Silent Pro Gold series 1000w ATX

CPU: AMD FX-8150 AM3+ 3.6Ghz

MOBO: Gigabyte GA-970A-D3

CPU Cooler: Corsair H100

And this was the latest "problem signature" from my crash:
Problem Event Name: BlueScreen
OS Version: 6.1.7601.2.1.0.256.48
Locale ID: 4105

Thanks to all in advance.

Hello marcus8h,

Method 1: Update chipset and other drivers from the manufacturer’s website and see if that helps:
Follow the article mentioned below:

Method 2:
Try to perform clean boot and check if it helps, here is the link:

The info you provided is not a error code. It just means you are running
windows 7 service pack one with a language version 4105 which means (English - Canada)

to be helpful you should copy your memory dump file(s) from c:\windows\minidump
to a server and post a link.

Whoops sorry about that. I really had no clue what i was posting there but now I feel foolish. Here's a link to the minidump files you requested, hope this helps.

first bugcheck was the video not responding, windows tried to reset it bug it still did not respond so windows called a bugcheck to halt the system.

you amd driver is older (november of last year) I would start with a update to that driver directly from amd: http://www.amd.com/en-us

looking at your drivers: you have some problems:
you have 2 copies of overclocking drivers installed, you will want to remove both of these until you figure out your system problems.
C:\Program Files (x86)\AMD\OverDrive\amd64\AODDriver2.sys Tue Apr 17 19:19:31 2012
C:\Program Files\ATI Technologies\ATI.ACE\Fuel\amd64\AODDriver2.sys Tue Feb 11 03:06:52 2014


this is a suspect driver just because of the age and it is installed from a temp directory
Core Temp - CPU temperature monitor
C:\Users\Marcus\AppData\Local\Temp\ALSysIO64.sys Sun Apr 19 12:41:04 2009

really old driver:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Corsair\Corsair Link\CorsairLINK_HardwareMonitor.sys Sat Jul 26 06:29:37 2008

usb3.0 driver are pretty old
\SystemRoot\System32\Drivers\EtronHub3.sys Mon Jul 25 14:30:59 2011
\SystemRoot\System32\Drivers\EtronXHCI.sys Mon Jul 25 14:30:56 2011
versions dated 2013 and newer tend to work, various problems with older versions.
get update from your motherboard vendor:

old driver:
C:\Windows\System32\Drivers\LxrSII1d.sys Mon Dec 21 10:43:13 2009
looks like Lexar® JumpDrive® Secure II Plus USB Flash Drive but make sure you want it.

very old driver:
C:\Windows\system32\Drivers\rikvm_38F51D56.sys Fri Oct 29 03:52:09 2010
Cyberlink Power DVD ???

old network driver:
\SystemRoot\system32\DRIVERS\Rt64win7.sys Tue Sep 27 07:50:33 2011
get update from here:

old 3rd party utility (i would remove or maybe update)
\SystemRoot\System32\Drivers\SmartDefragDriver.sys Fri Nov 26 01:29:40 2010


same name as a malware file that hides as a printer driver (I would remove, too old of date)
C:\Windows\system32\Drivers\SSPORT.sys Thu Aug 11 16:07:32 2005

old xbox driver, I think there is a version xusb22.sys that fixes a few bugs (memory corruption)
\SystemRoot\system32\DRIVERS\xusb21.sys Thu Aug 13 15:10:17 2009

A BIOS showing the current speed higher than the max speed means your BIOS is out of date or you BIOS is overclocking. I would check for a bios updat from the gigabyte website. (BIOS updates also fix various problems, also check for driver updates for your system particularly USB updates)

machine info:
BIOS Version F9
BIOS Release Date 05/11/2012
Manufacturer Gigabyte Technology Co., Ltd.
Product Name GA-970A-D3
Processor Version AMD FX(tm)-8150 Eight-Core Processor
Processor Voltage 89h - 0.9V
External Clock 200MHz
Max Speed 3200MHz
Current Speed 3600MHz

Seems like it was my fault for not keeping up to date with drivers and such. I cleaned up the system, hoping it should be all good now. Thanks everyone.
