BSODs
Posted on 7/22/13 at 12:07 pm
Posted on 7/22/13 at 12:07 pm
been getting some BSODs that started in the last week and a half. About once a day I get a crash dump BSOD with different error codes nearly every time. A couple times its been from waking from sleep. Also been noticing some minor artifacting on my screens not related to gpu OC. For posterity sake have closed out afterburner with no resolution. Will run fine for quite a while and then BSOD. Can still game without incident so I feel like its not a hardware issue like bad gpu or mobo. Could be one of my ram dimms but they passed memtest when I first got them. nearly a year old. windows 7. Heat has not been an issue for any of my components despite decent OC on cpu ram and gpu.
Anyone know how to retrieve the errors for analysis? what registry cleaner do yall recommend? other trouble shooting ideas? TIA

What goes on in the deep web most definitely does not stay in the deep web!

We had a program at my old job that would take codes and diagnose them. WhoCrashed I think?

excellent work srb. gold star for you sir. It pointed me in the direction of a couple drivers, one of which was a leftover nvidia driver. uninstalled it so we will see how things go. I had already tried reinstalling my AMD drivers so i guess there could've been some interaction between the two. will let you know what develops.

I'm sure you already covered this, but make sure you have turned everything to stock, even if you don't think it's a hardware issue.
Get a dmp file reader and google the BSOD codes.

I bet that nvidia driver is it.

issue occurred again. chkdsk for all drives fine. defraged SSD. whocrashed was pointing me towards another ati file, so ran driver sweeper on all AMD stuff and did the catalyst uninstall. then rebooted and everything was shite res, so I think i got rid of everything. Reinstalled beta catalyst driver. will see how this goes. will hope for the best.

What GPU are you running?
Some OC'd 7XXX series of AMD cards get BSOD and need to be underclocked back to stock and/or RMA'd

This whole thread sounds like Jabba the hut to me.

Correct me if I'm wrong but it does you no good to defrag an ssd right? Also I think the next move should be what you did which is clean start for your drivers. Maybe even try beta.
Posted on 7/22/13 at 10:22 pm to puffulufogous
use atiman uninstaller. It wipes everything clean as if you never had any graphics drivers on that hard drive ever. Catalyst uninstaller is not quite as thorough and could very well leave behind some corrupt shite. I recall a customer's computer a few years back with a low-end 5000 series gpu. Was getting random BSODs, sometimes they'd be two weeks apart. Completely wiped out the ati drivers, reinstalled, and it never happened again. Hopefully that's the issue with yours.
EDIT: You... defragged your SSD? Typo?
Defragging an SSD does nothing but shorten its life.

whoops.
won't be the last time I frick something up I am sure. will see how this goes and then try atiman uninstaller. it certainly seems like a GPU issue based on the fact that I get some artifacting just general computing.

Yep. Search "7970 Black Screen"
It's a common issue especially in the factory OC'd cards.

Because they can be RMA'd. It's not like it's a guaranteed thing to happen. I have two 7970s that are both factory overclock GHz cards. And then I overclocked them both to 1200+ core and a whopping 1900Mhz RAM (just for the e-peen bench. I keep them at 1650 for gaming). No black/blue screens here.

Don't worry finch, it's a good card. They all have risks. Your 7970 will bitch slap my 7870
