Internmittant BSOD, no clear trigger

Hi folks,

So I've been having occasional BSOD issues. Not sure what is setting it off. So far it's happened on startup, while the computer is just sitting there, while playing games, and while browsing with Firefox. Probably every ~2 weeks.


Thanks!

So, according to this dump file, some driver is probably using bad pointers. The driver was waiting for the Lock Ownership while the Bugcheck happened.
Now, let us check the latest dump file which is a Driver_Power_State_Failure with the first parameter as 3. If we run !irp on the last argument we get the below :-
Code:

As we can see from the above dump file, the USBSTOR.sys which is USB Mass Storage Driver from Windows caused the error but the chance of it being at fault is really low so it means that some other component was at fault here.

Below is a list of 3rd party drivers present on your system :-

At this point I would suggest you to remove any USB Device connected to the system and then check for system stability. Furthermore, there are lots of drivers which are extremely old. I have highlighted the older drivers which you need to update.

If you are still getting the BSOD's after updating the drivers and removing the USB Devices, please upload a complete dump file located at "C:\Windows\Memory.dmp" as there is a Plug N Play Triage lock which cannot be analyzed due to the nature of a minidump file.
The complete dump file would be large in size so PLEASE make sure that you ZIP IT UP before uploading it to a host like Mediafire or OneDrive so that it could be analyzed.

Let me know how it goes ^_^

Thank you very much for your help! It looks like a lot of those old drivers relate to my sound card, keyboard, or motherboard, but unfortunately there don't seem to be newer versions available of most of them. Is there any sort of tool or utility you can recommend to see what drivers are installed/in use? Maybe I can remove some of the offending ones.

In the meantime, I have removed a few USB devices, and if I get more BSOD's, I'll upload an update.

Thank you again.

Just had another BSOD.... quickest between 2 events so far. I've attached the minidump file, but I can't find the memory.dmp Is there a way to ensure that my computer generates one? A setting I have to change?

Thank you again!

Apparently, a USB Device Driver is causing trouble.

We can see that the StateHistory is in Unknown State in many cases. Furthermore, if we search the Vendor ID of the highlighted device (ORANGE), I found that it is FreeAgent Go Flex from Seagate.

Could you please remove this Device till the time we are troubleshooting?
Also, if the BSOD's don't stop, please remove your Creative SB X Fi USB Device as well.

One more thing you should try doing is, try plugging all of your USB Devices in the USB 2.0 ports and check if you are getting any BSOD's or not.

Let me know how it goes ^_^

This is extremely helpful. That's my backup drive, and I've problems getting it to connect properly, but I didn't realize it could cause a BSOD. I've removed the drive, and we'll see what happens.

In the meantime, is there any way to fix or rehabilitate that external drive? In other words, is this a software or filesystem problem I can fix, or is it likely a physical problem with the drive?

Many thanks, this has been very helpful.

Hi Cschodt ^_^,

I apologize for my late reply as I have been out of town :(

Let me know how it goes with the BSOD Problems. If you are experiencing problems connecting the drive then it could possibly mean that the disk is dying.

I would suggest you to backup the data inside it immediately. See if the drive fails any test in the Drive Diagnostics over **HERE**.

Let me know how it goes ^_^
