I have a Packard Bell, EasyNote TK87-GU-925UK that keeps BSOD.
The error is stop 0x50 with ntfs.sys as the likely culprit. Looking up the code shows me that it is:
Defective hardware (particularly memory - but not just RAM), Faulty system service, Antivirus, Device driver, NTFS corruption, BIOS
What I have done so far:
Run memtest86 for 8 passes and found a faulty RAM chip. Replaced that, still BSOD
Run Memtest again, no fault.
Run Seatolls in DOS mode (extended) and found no errors.
Started in safe mode and removed the Atheros device that was flagged up. Rebooted, did not reinstall Atheros, still BSOD.
Uninstalled Intel Rapid Storage
Tested HD again with WD Data Lifeguard - no faults
Killed all processes and scanned with Windows Security Essentials offline - no errors, still BSOD.
|Tried for an OEM install of Win7. All goes well until the final stps "Setting up computer for first use", then BSOD.
Caught in loop now.
Any ideas - is it the MB?
