[SOLVED] BSOD Issue (System Thread Not Handled Error)

[javster22]

Recently been having bsod problems and also pc telling me to scan drive errors frequently whenever there is a random shutdown. I downloaded HD Tune Pro and both drivers seem fine so I don't know if there is any correlation there. I'm going to post two of the recent dmp files I have below. Any help is greatly appreciated.

I have run the dump files and you can see the full reports here:

Dump1: https://pste.eu/p/fMwV.html
Dump2: https://pste.eu/p/Mxgm.html

Summary of findings:

1: BugCheck EF ----- CRITICAL_PROCESS_DIED
Probably caused by : services.exe

2: BugCheck 1000007E ----- SYSTEM_THREAD_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED
Probably caused by : memory_corruption ( nt!MiDemoteCombinedPte+51 )

Bugcheck Description:
CRITICAL_PROCESS_DIED - please see report for details
SYSTEM_THREAD_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED - please see report for details

Some things to consider:

• Due to the bugcheck, just to be safe, I would Run SFC/ Scannow and DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth in an elevated command prompt.
• In addition to all this, i can see you are using mixed RAM modules, unfortunately this could easily be your instability, have you added a module recently? - Did you install them in the correct slots as per your MB manual?
• There are lots of potential out of date drivers on your system however I would sooner look at my previous points above failing that- my attention in particular is being drawn to:

DBUtil_2_3.Sys	03/11/2009	Unknown	Unknown Driver
RTKVHD64.sys	16/05/2017	Realtek	Realtek HD Audio Driver
rt640x64.sys	27/06/2017	Realtek	Realtek Audio Driver
amdpsp.sys	27/10/2017	AMD	AMD Chipset Driver
AMDRyzenMasterDriver.sys	14/11/2017	AMD	Ryzen Master Driver
AMDPCIDev.sys	12/04/2018	AMD	AMD Ryzen OC Utility
RzDev_021e.sys	23/04/2018	Razer	Razer Driver

btfilter.sys	17/05/2018	Qualcomm	Atheros Bluetooth Driver
Qcamain10x64.sys	23/08/2018	Qualcomm	Qualcomm Atheros Wireless LAN device driver

• I would absolutely ensure that your chipset and MB drivers are up to date via your motherboard manufacturers website as a first port of call.
• I would also check if you have a BIOS update available as your BIOS is from 2018.

DBUtil_2_3.Sys - Dell utility. I am not sure which one or what purpose of driver is. It might be okay, just seems old

Have you run Dell update here? https://www.dell.com/support/home/a.../product/inspiron-5675-gaming-desktop/drivers

Try downloading newer WIFI (+ Bluetooth) drivers - https://support.killernetworking.com/download/killer-drivers-installation-64bit/

one was caused by services.exe crashing, another by cmd.exe crashing.

see if this helps
right click start button
choose powershell (admin)
type SFC /scannow and press enter
once its completed, copy/paste this command into same window:
Repair-WindowsImage -Online -RestoreHealth and press enter
SFC fixes system files, second command cleans image files, re run SFC if it failed to fix all files and restart PC

I did a sfc /scannow and also repair windows image and both had no problems. I ran Dell update on the website you gave me, but it didn't find any updates so I don't know if its reliable or if my pc is truly up to date. Also downloaded the newer WIFI (+Bluetooth) driver you sent so hope that helps. Is there anything else I could do or download to make sure everything is running as it should?

Thanks for the info and reply. I did both command prompts and no problems. I'm not sure about the ram modules since this is a prebuilt pc and I have not added anything to it yet. The potential out of date drivers I have no clue about, I checked on the Dell website and it said my pc was up to date so I don't know.

I don't know what this is MINDFRAME.sys - I can only find it on 1 website that I can't login to.. which doesn't help
The BSOD caused by a driver, we just haven't identified which as its not showing itself in the text.

tried running chkdsk on the drives?
open command prompt (Admin)
if you have a hdd, type chkdsk c: /f /r and press enter
If you have an ssd, type chkdsk c: /f and press enter
(difference between 2 is /r repairs sectors. ssd don't have sectors)
2 paragraphs will pop up on screen
type Y and press enter to agree to run at startup
restart PC and let the scans run

I had done some chkdsk in the past, but didn't do the repairs sectors one so I did it and it seemed to be doing fine, but just now got another bsod, here's the dmp file: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1SzfwFOlVxF4H1r9_31NFKzFESd9Hb-Si

@PC Tailor can you convert the last files for us?

 

[PC Tailor]

I have run the dump file(s) and you can see the full report(s) here: https://pste.eu/p/RnaY.html

Summary of findings:

MEMORY_MANAGEMENT
"Running the Windows Memory Diagnostic tool or memtest could be useful as well to exclude any kind of problem affecting the physical memory modules.

This can be driver or hardware based. If you are encountering other hardware issues, you may have to look at hardware diagnosis.

• Confirm that hardware is compatible with your system.
• View the third party modules of the report to view which drivers may be misbehaving."

 

[Colif]

updating wifi didn't change anything, the installed drivers now have same dates as a dump done 6 days ago

error has something to do with compressed memory.
only driver names mentioned are all parts of windows
filtmgr - Microsoft Filesystem Filter Manager
npfs - named pipe file system

Some light reading for PC - https://www.fireeye.com/content/dam...g-evil-in-windows-10-compressed-memory-wp.pdf


Try running memtest86 on each of your ram sticks, one stick at a time, up to 4 passes. Only error count you want is 0, any higher could be cause of the BSOD. Remove/replace ram sticks with errors.

0xEF is typically a RAM or drive issue, considering the 0x1A I'd bet the cause is the drive.

 

[Colif]

what brand are the drives? some brands like WD & Seagate have their own testing software.

Try running HD Sentinel trial as a 2nd opinion on HD Tune
Look on disk menu and run any tests you can - https://www.hdsentinel.com/hard_disk_sentinel_trial.php

The brand for the ssd is SK hynix and for the hdd is Toshiba. I tried running HD Sentinel, but most tests were not available in the trial. Is there any other program I should get for the drivers? Also should I still run memtest or figure out if its a problem with drivers?

 

[Colif]

compressed memory is a ram function but if windows needs to use the ram the data is compressed in, it has to write the data to the ssd. So axe thinks its a storage problem and he can normally read these better than I can.

SK Hynix don't have their own toolkit. nor do Toshiba.
you can run this - https://crystalmark.info/en/software/crystaldiskmark/
Its very much like AS SSD is - https://www.guru3d.com/files-details/as-ssd-benchmark.html

I would run memtest just to confirm its not ram.

Here is the chkdsk log file: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1fzI830-NSWSeUwex7Y3Xl4Gmku1SoPsM

 

[axe0axe0]

I would recommend replacing the drive, a dozen of chkdsk scans with repeated issues in just a couple of days, a clear sign of drive failure.

You probably need to reinstall Windows if Windows is installed on that drive, don't worry about the activation, that will resolve itself automatically.

If you want to keep things, back it up before replacing the drive.

Thank you for the insight, do you have any recommendations for any good drive I can buy?

 

[axe0axe0]

I suspect @PC Tailor can answer that better than I can.

 

[Colif]

Thank you for the insight, do you have any recommendations for any good drive I can buy?

I would get a Samsung EVO 500gb drive (any smaller will likely need to be replaced too soon although a 250 is big enough for win 10 currently). I have a 4 year old Evo and its still almost brand new according to HD Sentinel

I assume axe can tell if the drive was an ssd or not? since you have both and I gave you chkdsk for both?

 

[PC Tailor]

Frankly nearly any Samsung will be a good purchase, just now in SSDs there are some good competitors when it comes to value. But can't really go wrong with almost any Samsung SSD.

HDDs are another debate in themselves, some would argue that Seagates latest figures are showing bigger failure rates, but there are still plenty going strong.

Can't tell if it's SSD or HDD from CHKDSK logs. What size and type are you looking for @javster22 ?

Nearly? Which wouldn't be a good purchase?

I haven't looked into SSDs and HDDs in months, but am looking myself for a new SSD (eyeing the 970 evo) and HDD.

Honestly, I don't know a single BAD one, but I know plenty that are better value for money from my perspective.
If you want an M.2 SSD then the Intel 660p has frankly stormed the market on that front, half the price of a Samsung equivalent.

Some 2.5" SSDs that are still excellent are the Crucial MX series too, sometimes the value is too good to turn down.

Depends on what format you're looking at and your usage, many people jump to NVMe when there is no real benefit for their usage.

Just saw this thread and was going to post the same. Any time you have Windows wanting to check the drive it's installed on for errors every time it starts, 99.9% of the time it means the drive is going south (and it's time to back up) no matter what little programs like HD Tune tell you.

Well I'm not sure if I should replace both the SSD and HDD what do you think? Also not looking for anything specific just whatever good one you guys recommend that's not too expensive.
