Windows 10: My first BSOD in ten.

John, I have two questions about the drivers you suggested.

First, for intelppm.sys, which one should I take form the intel's page?

Attachment 11941
And for the realtek network driver, as there are no drivers for 10 yet, will it PCIe driver will be ok?

Attachment 11942
Please let me know.

Thanks a lot for the post you made in Speccy's. Let us expect that some good info will be available there.

After updating these two drivers (so that they cannot sneak in) I will go for driver verifier.

Edit: You are absolutely right that all the drivers are windows drivers at that time, other than the nvidia one, the immediate earlier to the latest version. I was unsure which drivers I should install with 10, so decided to use the windows drivers only at that time.

 

Hi Bill, I just ran speccy in debug mode, it went fine.

After getting confirmation from John about those two drivers and updating those, when I will employ DV, I will try Speccy in debug mode again. Thanks. *Smile

 

Good to know,

I'll keep an eye on the thread to see how the story ends.

You're always welcome Archie,

This is why I love working in the online forums. Different opinions and approaches are respected and encouraged. Alone one of us may not be able to reach a resolution - but with many people participating it's almost certain that a fix will be found!

The intelppm.sys driver is best left alone. Windows update will give you the latest version. Please note that it has the same date/timestamp as ntosext.sys (which is one of the new Windows 10 drivers).

Use the Win8.1 driver for the network card and run the installer in Compatibility Mode.

Then check Device Manager to be sure there are no further problem devices.

 

All drivers other than intelppm is updated. But still there are two devices with yellow triangles.

Though there is no such lack of functionality due to that. DV ran well, without any hiccup. I experienced mouse lags, not-to-smooth video, but no more BSOD.

I had another serious issue with this computer in between, So waiting before posting back in this thread, if that issue results any more BSOD.

Overall, the computer is running very smooth now. It goes to the desktop within a few seconds only, everything else works as charm.

Thanks big lots, Colin, John, and Bill. I highly appreciate all the help you provided for me. *Biggrin

 

Have you installed the Intel Management Engine software as I requested earlier?
If so, what happened?
Could you check the hardware ID on the PCI Simple Communications Controller and see if it's still PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_8C3A&SUBSYS_1C3A1458&REV_04\3&11583659&0&B0

Have you updated the chipset drivers from the Intel Download Center?
If so, what happened?
Could you check the hardware ID on the SM Bus Controller and see if it's still PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_8C22&SUBSYS_50011458&REV_05\3&11583659&0&FB

Just FYI - I've been rather heavily involved the last week or so in figuring out which are the new drivers in Win10 and adding them to the DRT ( Driver Reference Table (DRT) ) and the Windows Drivers Comparison Table ( Driver Compare )

The drivers are added to the DRT, but are awaiting the addition of descriptions before they are released to the public. I'll be adding a new entry (and hopefully a new column) for the OS that the Windows drivers are present in. For now the Information/Description column will have an entry that reads "OS: Win10TP" This table interfaces with the BSOD app (and it trims the Windows drivers out of the output).

The Windows Driver Comparison table is being completely reworked, so we haven't even added the drivers to it yet - but I do have a spreadsheet of them with the required info just waiting for the new table to be finalized.

 

Not only IME, I needed to install the INF Update Utility too .... which helped to recognize both of those.

And, thanks a lot for all those hard work, John. Your DRT is always the most valuable ready reference for the drivers. *Thumbs

 

Thanks Arc!

The DRT is intended to make it easier for people to look up the drivers that they need.
It's secondary purpose is to provide information so that people can find an exact match for the driver that they need.

It started out with me hand coding the entries in HTML, but the project quickly out-grew me. There's now a team of several people who work on it and it's underpinnings. There's also another team that works on the BSOD analysis app - which interfaces with the DRT as a part of it's programming, and output from the DRT in the reports that it generates.

The Windows Driver Comparison Table isn't very useful for most, but it is a good way to see the changes in the Windows OS as it evolves.

 

New CPU-z released specifically to address BSOD...

Cpu-z 1.72 - Windows 7 Help Forums

 

The link is not working. Could you please provide another link?

 

Go to CPU-Z downloads. Current version is 1.72

I had this same BSOD on my ASUS M5A97 R2.0 with Windows 10 Pro, However I was using HWMonitor. I have Windows 8.1 Pro on my ASUS M5A99FX PRO R2.0, and I have no bluescreens.

Possible Compatibility issues with Windows 10?

The actual BSOD I get is "Page fault in nonpaged area cpuz138_x64"

I uninstalled it from Windows 10.

 

I have never faced the BSOD after updating the Speccy. *Smile

 

I updated HWMonitor to the latest version, and installed Windows updates and updated drivers. No BSOD's now. That was a learning experience. Thanks.*Smile
