BSOD when program fail to response and computer forced to restart

Hi everyone,

I constantly gets BSOD on my Samsung laptop (NP350U2B) recently. It’s one and a half year old. It came with Win7 Home Basic originally and I upgraded it to Win 8 Pro earlier this year. I also installed Office 2013 on it earlier this year. The computer was working fine until most recently. On BSOD, it showed 'page fault in nonpaged area win32k.sys' on screen, then restarted itself. Computer was working OK after restart. But I’m just not sure when I shall anticipate the next BSOD :rolleyes: :(

I initially got BSOD only when I launched Firefox and Firefox frozen. So I uninstalled Firefox yesterday and hoping BSOD will go away.

But BSOD came back again today. It happened right after I got Acrobat XI Pro frozen when I tried to edit a PDF.
I have attached my zip file from SF_Diagnostic_Tool.

Thanks in advance :)

Eleana

Lot's more Live Kernel Events than there are BSOD events in the WER section of MSINFO32
This may/may not be suggestive of a hardware issue.
Please do the following:
- open Event Viewer (eventvwr.msc)
- expand the Custom Views category (left click on the > next to the words "Custom Views")
- right click on Administrative Events
- select "Save all Events in Custom View as..."
- save the file as Admin.evtx
- zip up the file (right click on it, select "Send to", select "Compressed (zipped) folder")
- upload it with your next post (if it's too big, then upload it to a free file-hosting service and post a link here).

If you'd like to get a head start on hardware diagnostics, please use the one's at this link: Hardware Diagnostics

Please remove LogMeIn as it's drivers date from 2007/2008

Please update these older drivers. Links are included to assist in looking up the source of the drivers. If unable to find an update, please remove (un-install) the program responsible for that driver. DO NOT manually delete/rename the driver as it may make the system unbootable! :

Hi usasma,

Thank you so much for your reply. Please find the attached zip file of my Admin.evtx.

I uninstalled LogMeIn long time ago, but unrealised that the driver is still in the computer. I uninstalled it under the Device Manager now.

HECIx64.sys Tue Oct 19 19:33:43 2010 (4CBE2AD7)
Intel Management Engine Interface --> I tried to update the driver, but got notified that it’s the most recent version.

SABI.sys Thu May 28 02:38:02 2009 (4A1E314A)
SAMSUNG Kernel Driver
ctxusbm.sys Mon Sep 7 14:09:28 2009 (4AA54C58)
Citrix ICA Client USB Monitor Driver
--> I can’t find these two drivers under the Device Manager by their name “SAMSUNG Kernel Driver” and “Citrix ICA Client USB Monitor Driver”. Are there any other ways to find the drivers?

I’m sorry, I don't know much about computers. (I did a Google search to find out the Event Viewer thing). Thanks.

First, please don't rely on the update function in Device Manager. IME all it does is checks Windows Updates for the drivers. Drivers at Windows Update aren't updated very often (by the device manufacturer), and usually aren't current enough to fully deal with any possible compatibility problems.

You're doing OK with this (and you know more than you think you do! :0) - this is fairly advanced stuff, so it's normal to be a bit confused by it (it took me many years to get to where I am today).

As for the other drivers, my first step is to see if your work has fixed it already. So we'll leave it alone (for now) and will wait to see if you get further BSOD's.

From looking at the Admin event log:

Do you shut the computer down by holding the power button in until it shuts off?
If so, please don't do this anymore - it can damage the Windows installation
If not, then it's likely that there is a hardware problem on the system

Lot's of display driver issues (STOP 0x117 errors). Try these troubleshooting steps: Video TDR Timeout - 0x116 + 0x117 - Sysnative Forums

Bluetooth drivers should be reinstalled

Beyond that, we wait and see if there are further BSOD's. If there are, please zip up the contents of C:\Windows\Minidump and upload it with your next post.

Good luck!
