Occasional BSOD strikes again !

IRONBATMAN · Aug 18, 2014

Hi,

I occasionally have a BSOD from time to time, and today, it occurs again. I'm not to sure how to collect info about it, so pls explain clearly how to fix the problem. I suspect it's a windows update error, or a Kernal Power thingy.

From event viewer, I have 5 errors from system, 1 from Crysis , and 2 from Microsoft. The most recurring error would be " Session "Circular Kernel Context Logger" stopped due to the following error: 0xC0000188 "

I have A LOT of failed windows Updates too.

Any input would be appreciated,
Thanks

( also, my PC doesn't shutdown. Once it does, it starts up by itself again. I have asked every forum. No solution )

Hello... having failed updates is not good, Can you just do a WIN 7 SP1 USB install, and chose the option to just "over write your Windows files only"

I have my Windows 7 OEM disc , what can I do with it ?

Ironsounds · Aug 18, 2014

Hello... Yes you can, I just wanted you to have a latest Windows Updates in a manner that would save you some time.

IRONBATMAN · Aug 18, 2014

So...what should I do ...? I'm not the best at fixing errors.

Ironsounds · Aug 18, 2014

Hello... each Windows version/disc is different " Win7′s no-reformat, nondestructive reinstall " ... it seems that you have to do a Upgrade install from within Windows, by running the setup file from your Disk. there are many example on youtube for you to view.
http://windowssecrets.com/top-story/win7s-no-reformat-nondestructive-reinstall/ Here is a one page walk though it.

Hello... As I have always stated... " If it isn't broken Don't try and fix it! " Updates can take a smooth running machine into a Mess of problems. For example... only use the Hardware drivers from your Card/Hardware Maker, Microsoft hardware drivers updates have always cause problems with me.

I tried ' upgrading ' windows as instructed from the website, but the PC always freezes on boot. I see the desktop, but after 1-3 secs, it freezes.

IRONBATMAN · Aug 18, 2014

I noticed that the freezes first started after I received a notification of a failed driver installation from the toolbar

Ironsounds · Aug 18, 2014

Hello... Can you Google how to start your windows in safe mode? and determine or disable what hardware driver is confused in your "Control Panel-Device Manager"
Un-plug any thing you have added new or don't need to make this work... extra HD's USB devices, Video cards.... etc.

IRONBATMAN · Aug 19, 2014

Ironsounds :

I don't quite understand what you mean. After entering Safe Mode and opening device manager, how should I carry on ?

IRONBATMAN · Aug 19, 2014

And the Windows ' upgrade ' did no changes or repairs

i7Baby · Aug 19, 2014

Post your build.

So Windows will load? But only for a few seconds?

Can you list all your errors by code and file that is causing the problem?

IRONBATMAN · Aug 19, 2014

The current situation if quite normal, other than the PC not shutting down properly. This BSOD is very rare, same goes for the freeze.

When I select shutdown, everything shutsdown normally, but after 2-3 secs, the PC turns on by itself. I currently turn off the PSU after shutting down to solve it, but this problem also doesn't to put my PC to sleep mode.

Specs:
i5-3350p
8GB RAM
R9 270x ( R9 280 is now same price of the R9 270x when I bought it /)_- )
Windows 7 64 bit OEM

Errors:

Critical
- Kernal Power
- Event ID 41
- The system has rebooted without cleanly shutting down first. This error could be caused if the system stopped responding, crashed, or lost power unexpectedly.

Error:
- Kernal-Event Tracing
- Event ID 3
- Session "Microsoft Security Client OOBE" stopped due to the following error: 0xC000000D

- WMI
- Event ID 10
- Event filter with query "SELECT * FROM __InstanceModificationEvent WITHIN 60 WHERE TargetInstance ISA "Win32_Processor" AND TargetInstance.LoadPercentage > 99" could not be reactivated in namespace "//./root/CIMV2" because of error 0x80041003. Events cannot be delivered through this filter until the problem is corrected.

These are the few errors that I think are the ones causing major issues. I have done a full , clean install of Windows 7 3 times, even clearing HDD. And still, the problem persists. I suspect it's something with the drivers I have installed. I don't download torrents online, and I did a Malwarebytes scan, so I don't think Malware is the problem.

I've also reset the CMOS once, not sure if that causes big issues.

IRONBATMAN · Aug 19, 2014

Oh and thanks for replying

This issue started 6 months ago. I think it happened when I reset the CMOS battery.

IRONBATMAN · Aug 19, 2014

I think @ironsounds 's solution helped me install my failed drivers again, so thanks for that , but the problem isn't fully solved

Boot into Safe Mode (F8) http://windows.microsoft.com/en-au/windows/advanced-startup-options-including-safe-mode#1TC=windows-7
and try Computer Repair and/or System Restore (Last known good configuration)

IRONBATMAN · Aug 19, 2014

After ' upgrading ' Windows 7, it seems that my music, pictures, and documents library have disappeared...

i7Baby · Aug 19, 2014

Do a checkdisk with repair.

Do a virus scan eg avast and malwarebytes

IRONBATMAN · Aug 19, 2014

-___- I'm back to square one again. The freeze is back. Last thing I did was to run 3Dmark. It had an error, so I validated the integrity of local files from steam, and after that , BOOM. The PC shuts itself down, and when I boot again, boot times take longer than usual, and the freezes occurs again.

I'm starting to understand why people prefer apple's iOS. I guess I'll live with my corrupted Windows 7 until Windows 9 comes out. Hopefully, it'd be better.

i7Baby · Aug 19, 2014

So how did you go with -
Boot into Safe Mode (F8) http://windows.microsoft.com/en-au/windows/advanced-sta...
and try Computer Repair and/or System Restore (Last known good configuration)
and
Do a checkdisk with repair.
Do a virus scan eg avast and malwarebytes

IRONBATMAN · Aug 19, 2014

Alright, I did a system restore, the freeze stops, but it happened on first boot after restore. 2nd boot ( now ) is fine. Now I preferred how things were :I My music is gone and a lot of applications have problems.

IRONBATMAN · Aug 19, 2014

I give up. I'm going to re-install Windows again...
