Blue Screen! Asus Laptop Windows 7 64 bit

Hi Gerry,

I just checked the event viewer.  I don't think the disk check found any errors... as far as I can tell, but I'm not sure how to read the results.  Here is the text:

That is not a clean report. Unfortunately at the moment I do not know what it means.

Hope this helps, Gerry Cornell

Can anyone help me figure out what these disk check results mean?

And I added more minidump files today: http://cid-05b957bdddf4a8f2.skydrive.live.com/redir.aspx?resid=5B957BDDDF4A8F2!108

Thanks, Amy

Hi,

Results verified with WinDBG, DumpCHK, and BlueScreenView.

Lot of different Bug_Checks - 1A, D1, 0A, 1E, and 3B.

Remove ALL power and then reseat the memory, actually remove and replace - do not just snug.

Make sure the vents are clear and listen to be sure the fans are working.

Check with ASUStek Support and ask their forums for help and known issues.

===============================================================

Be sure update or re-install the Atheros Wireless Network Driver and theSound Driver.

In fact take the "Broad Approach" and update the BIOS, low level chipset drivers, and all the

major device drivers - Video, Sound, Network (NIC and WiFi), 3rd party mouse and keyboard

if used. Test the memory thoroughly.Crash List - Created by using **BlueScreenView**

After the above and if needed check the Faultwire links and start with those most common to all the

**References to Vista also apply to Windows 7.**This is my generic how to for proper driver updates : (Check for BIOS and driver updates.)

This utility makes it easy to see which versions are loaded :

DriverView - Free - utility displays the list of all device drivers currently loaded on your system.

For each driver in the list, additional useful information is displayed: load address of the driver,

description, version, product name, company that created the driver, and more.

http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/driverview.html

For Drivers check System Maker as fallbacks and Device Maker's which are the most current.

Control Panel - Device Manager - Display Adapter - write down the make and complete model

of your video adapter - double click - Driver's tab - write down the version info. Now click UPdate

Driver (this may not do anything as MS is far behind certifying drivers) - then Right Click -

Uninstall - REBOOT this will refresh the driver stack.

Repeat that for Network - Network Card (NIC), Wifi, Sound, Mouse and Keyboard if 3rd party

with their own software and drivers and any other major device drivers you have.

Now go to System Maker's site (Dell, HP, Toshiba as examples) (as rollback) and then Device

Maker's site (Realtek, Intel, Nvidia, ATI as examples) and get their latest versions. (Look for

BIOS, Chipset and software updates at System Maker's site while there.)

Download - SAVE - go to where you put them - Right Click - RUN AD ADMIN - REBOOT after

each installation.

Always check in Device Manager - Drivers tab to be sure the version you are installing actually

shows up. This is because some drivers rollback before the latest is installed (sound drivers

particularly do this) so install a driver - reboot - check to be sure it is installed and repeat as

needed.

Repeat at Device Makers - BTW at Device Makers DO NOT RUN THEIR SCANNER - check

manually by model.

Manually look at manufacturer's sites for drivers - and Device Maker's sites.

Installing and updating drivers in Windows 7 (updating drivers manually using the methods above

is preferred to ensure the latest drivers from System maker and Device makers are found)

http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/43216-installing-updating-drivers-7-a.html

If you update drivers manually then it is a good idea to disable Driver Installations in Windows

Updates, this leaves Windows Updates ON however it will not install drivers which will usually be

older and cause issues. If Updates suggests a new driver then HIDE it (Right Click on it) and then

go look for new ones manually if you wish.

==========================================

Memory tests do not catch all errors such as mismatched memory (possible even for sticks

that appear to be identical) and when faster memory is placed in system behind slower memory.

So it is best to also swap sticks in and out to check for those even if all memory tests fail to show

a problem.

To test RAM check here - let it run 4+ hours or so. <-- best methodwww.memtest.org
