Windows 10: BSOD (often after firefox crashes)

I have had a range of BSOD's everything from memory management, kernel security check faliure, PFN list corrupt, and faulty hardware corrupted page!

Window reliability test registers a harware error.

I've tried updating nvidia drivers, and used driver booster to update 16 out of date drivers to no avail, the BSOD still occur. I've reset windows and run troubleshooters, and used various windows repair tools, and dont really know what else to do.

Interestingly I can often know when a BSOD is coming as firefox always seems to crash first! My solution, delete firefox haha! But I know that thats just silly!

Any help would be really appreciated as I am starting to consider a new MB and starting over

Took it to a repair shop today and they couldnt find anything though they may have needed more time which I couldnt really give because I had work to do on the computer itself.

These BSOD's death occur sometimes more than once in a day but often only a few times a week or have even gone a week or so without occuring at all!

Many thanks!

System_Thread_Exception_Not_Handled(nvlddmkm.sys) error code and BSOD on Windows 10 computer.

Hi Windows,

The same BSOD issue is occurring quite often on my Aus G75V.

After reboot, my Laptop seems to run normally again... until it crashes again with the same BSOD.

You can find the crash dump at OneDrive 012017-8609-01.dmp.

Please give us some clues on what happened...

Regards.

 

BSOD: driver irql_less_or_not_equal

I've been getting the occasional BSOD for a while now and finally fed up enough to do something about it. It varies what the BSOD says the cause is but the one I can remember is driver irql_less_or_not_equal. So I went and did the driver verifier and got
some minidumps. Couldn't even boot into windows with driver verifier on. Crashes seem to happen most often when I'm playing Overwatch (and no other games) and while watching videos on Youtube (Firefox)

Minidump

Language - Add, Remove, and Change in Windows 10 General Tips Tutorials [/quote] I think thats my broken USB port which I had removed yesterday. I will try to change the language though I could have sword English was my computers primary language though reading the logs I can see some chinese is mingled up with the english which is annoying and I hope I am able to rectify that. Not using anything like CC cleaner though its possible my virus scanner is a touch overzealous so I will disable in the meantime and get back to you with the new log. Thanks very much!

 

Lots of problems
I cant update windows
I cant download windows language packs
I set langauge to English as defualt, but there is still some chinese coming through- if it helps when it says:- response- 不可用 - that means 'cannot use.'
Memory dumps dont seem to be there and the scan doesent pick them up, though no idea why they're not there. Could it be virus software? I checked windows settings and the computer should be writting logs...

I'm an expat living in China so my PC is in English, and it shouldnt be logging in chinese (although I do use chinese input with a seperate language pack). I kind of suspect even with the language pack, it would still be intermingling both languages somehow.
Gah try to take steps to fix a problem and 5 new ones pop up!

 

Please run this log collector and post a zip into the thread:
log collector v2-beta06.zip

The logs are in a foreign language so it limits the troubleshooting.
Please translate each of these:

Are the computer files backed up?
Has a backup image been made?
Are you able to perform a clean install and use English as the default language so that the computer can be troubleshooted? Clean install is likely to fix misbehaving software and hardware drivers. It would then be easier to see if there are any hardware problems with logs that can be scanned and read.

1) Open administrative command prompt and type or copy and paste:
2) sfc /scannow
3) dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth
4) chkdsk /scan
5) When these have completed > right click on the top bar or title bar of the administrative command prompt box > left click on edit then select all > right click on the top bar again > left click on edit then copy > paste into the thread
6) Turn off windows fast startup:

8) Run HDTune:

to check the health,
scan for errors, no quick scan but full scan
run a benchmark.
It may take some time, but please take the time you need to perform it properly.
When above is done please make screenshots of the following

8) Run memtest86+ version 5.01 for at least 8 passes.
Memtest86+ - Advanced Memory Diagnostic Tool
This may take hours so plan to run it overnight.
Please make sure you use the Memtest86+ version 5.01 with the link below.
Memtest86+ - Advanced Memory Diagnostic Tool
The testing is done not by time but by passes.
The more passes the better.
There are a significant number of false negatives if fewer than 8 passes are made.
A false negative is a test pass when there is malfunctioning RAM.
There is 16 GB of RAM on the computer.
Memtest86+ version 5.01 testing takes approximately 1 - 2 hours /GB RAM
Just 1 error is a fail and you can abort testing.
Then test 1 RAM module at a time in the same DIMM each for 8 or more passes.
When Memtest86+ has completed 8 or more passes use a camera or smart phone camera to take a picture and post an image into the thread.

I'll have a look at your reply in detail now but just so you know that which you posted above is not a foreign language its the same machine gibberish that I am getting. I tried downloading the english packs directly but they failed! The logs are recording its just total gibberish. Maybe because whatever is reponsible for writing them is also corrupted I dont know! Yeah I think I will try a clean install first because last time I merely did a system reset.

 

Please run this log collector and post a zip into the thread:
log collector v2-beta06.zip

You can try an in place upgrade repair first.
However don't expect it to fix the underlying problem as I suspect it is in the registry or at a deeper level than what the in place upgrade repair can fix. It has very little if any downside. but if it fixes the problem then a lot of upside.
Multiple times in the last few months I've seen this problem with Chinese, and Korean languages.
First make a backup image and save the backup image to another drive or to the cloud:
Macrium Software | Macrium Reflect Free
Then create a windows 10 iso:
Download Windows 10

Hey heres the log you requested. Some of the downloads like macrium failed on installation I just dont know whats going on, I tried to download the language packs directly as well, but they also failed without explantion.

But anyway for what its worth I already tried a system reset (keeping my files) but the problem still persisted. I have backed up important photos and files to USB so its not like I will be losing much... will a clean installation (delete files) make any difference compared to a system reset (keep files)? Any way thanks!

 

Heres the DISM log says the configuration registry database is corrupt!

SFC scan now said- 'Windows Resource Protection could not perform the requested operation' I will google it and see how to get round it maybe try from the bios

I'll post error scan screen shot when it finishes, but will do memtest overnight...

 

A reset with remove files is similar to clean install.

The bugchecks were:
1A
139
4E
12B

The MEMORY_MANAGEMENT bug check has a value of 0x0000001A. This indicates that a severe memory management error occurred
The KERNEL_SECURITY_CHECK_FAILURE bug check has a value of 0x00000139. This bug check indicates that the kernel has detected the corruption of a critical data structure.
The PFN_LIST_CORRUPT bug check has a value of 0x0000004E. This indicates that the page frame number (PFN) list is corrupted.
The FAULTY_HARDWARE_CORRUPTED_PAGE bug check has a value of 0x0000012B. This bug check indicates that a single-bit error was found in this page. This is a hardware memory error.

The 12B bugcheck is often seen with RAM problems.
If there are any errors when using Memtest86+ version 5.01 that is a fail.
Then remove all RAM modules except 1 and test each RAM module in the same DIMM for 8 or more passes.


Please update the system specs in the "My Computer" section (links in post #5 step #7) and please open the website for the computer's drivers and bios and post a URL or hyperlink into the thread.

 

I’ve started the mem test pic is attached. Call me crazy but isn’t red bad? I think I heard when things are okay it should be green no? Well I hope so I’d rather it be bad and just finally know what the problem is!
