Every few months one of PCs at my home is really unstable. That PC is a 'spare' machine, so that wasn't a big problem. But it's really irritable because I have to set off power supply for a couple of minutes and hope it'll work stable again for next few months or so.
Could somebody check my 2 newest minidumps and analyze it? Yesterday I installed the drivers for gpu. Sadly, today saw BSOD again.
OS: Windows 8, but earlier on Windows 7 also was the same problem.
Problem: various BSOD every few months.
My machine:
- mobo: Asus P5Q Deluxe (bios version: 2301);
- CPU: E8500 (never overlocked);
- GPU: ATI Radeon HD 4650 (sapphire version with heatpipes, GPU temperature from gpu-z: ~37-38C, I don't play any games);
- RAM: 2x2GB, corsair dominator PC2-8500 (tested also with some Kingston 2x2GB sticks);
- power supply: 550W (bequiet darkpower pro);
- antivirus: Avast;
The first signs of instability: firefox crashes, then later (sometimes) Visual Studio crashes.
This time the crashes started when PC was running more than a day doing some calculations. As always, Firefox crashed first.
BSODs on Windows 8:
DPC_WATCHDOG_VIOLATION
PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA
and one more BSOD, but I didn't write it down.
Earlier on Windows 7:
error codes:
1A - memory_management
3B - system_service_exception
D2,
24,
1 - apc_index_mismatch
Errors 0x1 & 0x3b often showed when Visual Studio was running.
Each time I see a BSOD on Win8 the text with it is all blurry and hard to read. Is it normal?
What I tried (with Win7 as OS):
- change RAM sticks, change slots, put only one stick. The effect is a lottery: PC is working good for some time (1 day or a couple of months) and then crashes;
- apply the new thermal paste on CPU;
- install system on a different hard drive, change sata cables and ports, change supply cables;
Small observation: some time ago I had Win7 and Ubuntu at one hard drive. While I couldn't boot Win7 at all, Ubuntu was starting normally, working for a small amount of time and then crashing.
