Win7 64-bit Random Bsod. irql_not_less_or_equal ntoskrnl.exe 0x0000000a

Clawx207 · May 22, 2014

Greetings, about a month ago i built my own pc here are the components:

http://pcpartpicker.com/user/Clawx207/saved/3lbq

Things have been running smoothly for the most part, air-flow is correct and nicely cooled, memory comes up with no errors after countless tests, swapped my graphics card, tested CPU. All of these check out but, still i have constant 'Bsod's'. The game that triggers it the most is Metal gear rising revengeance.

Here's the most common crash.dmp files:

Hello... a few observations from your img...
1) are you running two Lan cards?
2) are your running 3D glasses and/or monitor?
3) are you running phyX games/hardware?
4) are you running audio out of your Video card?

Have you tried an earlier/dfferent Video card driver version?

Clawx207 · May 23, 2014

Ironsounds :

1)No im only running the Asus Lan card, the realtek driver is for ethernet.
2)No
3)I have played call of duty ghosts and metro last light
4)Yes i have realtek motherboard sound disabled

I have, my graphics card comes with a disk of earlier versions.

Hello... all my experience with Windows BSOD is because of a loss of communications of hardware, through your MB, as seen to the OS. Find a Loose connector/pin, Power/Data connector or Hardware device causing it.
Try removing hardware/connectors for a minimum of things connected for Windows to boot and tested with just those devices... start adding a piece at a time till the BSOD returns.
1) Sound chip and Lan on the MB is also a "Hardware Device" disable in BIOs
2) CD/DVD is a "Hardware Device"
3) HD/SSD is a "Hardware Device"
4) Look very close to all your Pins on all your Power connectors for a pushed out pin/loose connection.
5) use some rubbing alcohol to clean memory/Video card/Data connectors and re-insert.
6) remove your video card and use the onboard CPU/Video to determine if your Video card is causing it.

If possible Test Hardware in another computer and see if it causes a BSOD.

It's a tuff problem to find at times but stay calm and be Logical about your work and testing methods.

Clawx207 · May 24, 2014

Ironsounds :

As i said i have already tried another video card and that was not the issue. I've checked all my ram sticks, cords, and my graphics card again to make sure they are in correctly. The issue still persist.

I ran driver verifier on all my drivers and it seemed to prevent bsod's, but killed my computers performance. I'm running it now on all non-microsoft drivers to see if it can catch anything.

Ironsounds · May 25, 2014

Hello... Don't use MS drivers ever for hardware, use the companies that make the product always... for a simple test to prove it's not your Hardware would be to...
1) fresh install of Windows
2) Mfgr's drivers install... driver only for hardware - No bloat ware.
3) DO NOT get any MS updates to the files.
4) Load what ever program you want to test with, ? Game, Game Demo.
5) Leave computer on and play, what ever.

My point is Windows 7 basic install will not software BSOD if your computer does? it is a Hardware problem.

Clawx207 · May 26, 2014

Ironsounds :

Alright, I did a clean install, didnt download any MS system updates, and installed my WLAN driver and Graphics drivers. Both were installed from the support disks. Sure enough when i opened Geforce Experience, BSOD. I suspect it is my graphics card, but to be sure, what would be the best way to diagonse all of my hardware?

Ironsounds · May 26, 2014

Hello... Geforce Experience/ Phyx to me is a bloatware app...( only load Graphic & Audio drivers - chose custom install ) and "Program and Features" can be used to un-installed to make sure it's not the app.
1) You can try your Video card/memory/etc in another working computer? Thats the only way to be sure!!!
2) Check very carefully your power connectors to your video card from your power supply... look for a bad crimped wire, Pin pushed out the back, slightly close/adjust a socket/female pin for a tighter connection to the male pins.
3) clean your card edges that insert into your computer with rubbing alcohol.
4) Try using the Realtek lan on your MB only... it's drivers and chips are Rock Solid stuff.
5) Try the Asus Wlan card in another Computer.
6) Did you install your Chipset Drivers?
7) Do you have latest Bios installed on your MB.... Once agian the MFG'r site...

Clawx207 · May 26, 2014

Ironsounds :

Alright i tried my Graphics card in my dad's computer and it had no issues. I tried running Integrated graphics on mine again, but it got the same result as the graphics card. Uninstalling Geforce Experience or physx didnt change anything.

I ran another test on my CPU and that came up ok. Im going to see what asus has for motherboard diagnostics....

Ironsounds · May 26, 2014

Hello... Good Testing.... Well... down to your MB ( Hardware ), Wan card, CPU Fan, Power Supply and Memory !!!
Power connector Bad to Graphics card?
Also another thing ...
8) make sure your BIO's has any Thermal/Fan conditions to shut down the computer Disabled. ( Bad CPU FAN signal )
9) Disable MB Bios "Hardware" Audio, Video and Lan... and use known Good Video card ( Bad MB )

Clawx207 · May 27, 2014

Ironsounds :

Well i believe i just found the issue...my ssd just died. None of my sata ports or cables pick it up in bios. Could it be possible that a faulty ssd could cause bsod's?

Ironsounds · May 27, 2014

Hello...
3) HD/SSD is a "Hardware Device"

Clawx207 · May 29, 2014

It's not my Graphics card, hdd, ssd, memory or cpu.i installed windows to my ssd again and still having the same results without any excess drivers. My stress level is off the charts right now...

geekIN · May 29, 2014

Take out your PNY ram module. Be sure that you took only PNY module, not the gskills. Try now..

Clawx207 · May 29, 2014

geekIN :

I'm a bit past that. The PNY Ram is a test part to see if my g.skill ones were bad.

Ironsounds · May 29, 2014

Hello... Remain calm and Logical in your efforts... Your getting pretty fast at Loading Windows and drivers now I Bet... B )

Good Testing... You are able to repeat the results so far, so your on the right Track in your Methods...

10) Try just IDE mode... Not AHCI driver and MB Bios controller... And other MB SATA inputs.
11) Make sure you Delete all Partitions each time, You Load WINDOWS INSTALL with a reboot, Before you install, on your HD/SSD.
Start a RMA on your MB... Pretty easy and Friendly service... You can always cancel it...

Clawx207 · Nov 26, 2014

Forgive me for never posting a proper solution, but the issue was a faulty CPU. Sounds impossible, but i had it replaced, no issues since.
