Just built a computer. Lots of BSODs.

[Slusho64]

I just built a new computer and I've been getting a lot of blue screens. I zipped my minidump files and uploaded them here: http://

Help would be GREATLY appreciated. I've tried uninstalling/reinstalling some drivers with no luck. I think uTorrent was causing some because they happened a lot when I was using it and then I got rid of it and the number went down greatly. I'm using qBittorrent now. Some of the BSODs have happened when no torrenting software was running, so that can't be the only problem. Also, I checked the RAM and it doesn't seem to be a memory issue.

Was this a fresh install of Windows? How did you test the RAM? Is there any hardware running above stock specs?

We will need to know what your full hardware list is, make and model.

Step up to Memtest to REALLY validate the memory. Need at least 3 complete iterations without errors.

 

[Slusho64]

I ran memtest for several hours. It did three passes. No errors.

I would give your memory a clean bill of health.

Next most obvious thing is Malware bytes and antivirus scans. Then monitor your CPU temps to verify your airflow is good.

 

[Slusho64]

It isn't a virus and the CPU temps are fine. Did you look at the minidumps? Maybe there's another forum I could ask for help at? I see a lot of these threads and people always want to look over the dmp files but you're just giving me standard troubleshooting answers. Don't get me wrong; I'm grateful for the help, but I know enough to have tried the basics.

There is no way for me to have known that.... There are LOTS of posts of people that don't do the basics ....

 

[Slusho64]

Yeah, I guess I just thought it was implied by merely knowing to post the minidumps.

There are so many reported "Caused By Driver" messages it may difficult to narrow it down. One of them is bflwfx64.sys, here is a little information on that one.
"Bflwfx64.sys is a type of SYS file associated with Driver for Bigfoot Networks Bandwidth Control developed by Bigfoot Networks, Inc. for the Windows Operating System. The latest known version of Bflwfx64.sys is 2.0.1.30, which was produced for Windows 7."

One suggestion I've seen is to uninstall and reinstall it.

Other "Caused By Driver" messages include (listed from most frequent to least frequent):
15 ntoskrnl.exe 0x..01e
5 ndis.sys 0x..01e
3 tcpip.sys 0x..01e
2 nvlddmkm.sys 0x..01e
2 bflwfx64.sys 0x..od1 (driver_irql_not_less_or_equal)
1 bflwfx64.sys 0x..07e (system_thread_exception_not_handled)
1 dxgkrnl.sys 0x..01e
1 dxgmms1.sys 0x..01e
1 afd,sys 0x..01e
1 tunnel.sys 0x..01e

The most common Bug Check String was kmode_exception_not_handled

Not sure any of that will help but maybe it can tell you where to start looking or help another poster help determine the problem.

 

[Slusho64]

Yeah, I used BlueScreenView so I was aware that information, but hopefully it will help others figure it out.

When I first built my computer I was plagued with BSODs and it turned out to be a hardware issue. It would randomly shut down or lock up and plenty of BSODs. In my case it was using an Intel SSD on a Marvel controller. I wish I could of been more and hope you get a solution soon.
