BSOD for the past few days

[Michael Edmond]

Firstly, sorry if this is the wrong forum section, I couldn't find anything specifically for Bluescreen errors.
Secondly, sorry if I seem a bit rude posting this, I've had this issue for days and all the help I've had so far hasn't really helped at all.

I've been having a variety of errors for the past few days, and so I performed a system restore. That seems to have fixed most of the problems because I didn't have any major errors for the past few hours. Just now my computer has crashed again.

The STOP errors are either "IRQL not less or equal" and "Page fault in nonpaged area", neither make any sense to me but they all appear to crash on the ntoskrnl.exe file/driver. Is this simply a case of downloading a new file to replace the old one, or is there something more to it?

Thanks in advanced and my apologize if I seem rude or if this is the wrong section.

EDIT: Should probably include a link to the minidump.

Go into bios and check to see if hpet (high precision event timer) is enabled. if its not, then enable it. Enabling it can resolve random bsods.

I wouldn't call this random BSOD though. I don't think it would be happening every hour or so if it was.
Also I'm using a new BIOS I'm not used to, so no idea how to find the HPET.... I'll try to find it if I BSOD before getting another response though, thanks.

step1; run cmd and then type verifier then from graphical user interface >>> Automatically select all drivers installed on this computer

step2; download this tool to analyze BSOD http://www.resplendence.com/downloads download free edition of whocrashed the output this program gives you should be enough to solve your problem.

step3 ; download latest windows updates and drivers. I will help finding the links if you send me info which hardware you use

please answer to this topic I'm sure this issue will be resolved.

It could be some kind of driver, or software using invalid memory addresses.

Doing that now. I'll check the HPET while I'm at it, assuming I can find it in the BIOS.
I was thinking it might be a program or driver accessing unavailable memory but wasn't certain.
Also downloaded latest Windows Updates, as far as I'm aware. I'll give you a headsup when I'm done of what WhoCrashed says is the problem though, thanks!

EDIT: Actually had some minidump files I wanted to check with WhoCrashed... apparently need a Pro version to view them though... should be a link to the dump file in original post, if anyone wants to take a look while I'm rebooting.

 

[patrickIT]

You can just download free home edition? did you run the verifier?

 

[Michael Edmond]

I ran verifier. Also sorry for slight delay, I have a new bluescreen when trying to boot up, having to rely on safe-mode for now.

For the record, the time is currently 21:32 in case you lived in a different timezone.

Crash Dump Analysis, thrown into a spoiler because there are a few. I'll throw in the next one I get as well once I find it.

Also couldn't find a High-precision event-timer option in BIOS.

Got another crash.

I'm thinking it might just be worth reinstalling Windows for the other errors, but I'm not so sure on this one.
