can anyone help me diagnose some blue screens im having?

Tea_Bag

everything that im reading online about it is ancient information, so not sure what to do?

"The driver is mismanaging system PTEs."

and

"bad_pool_caller"

resent hardware changes are:
new Motherboard and SSD, new OC (just a turbo 4.6ghz for now to diagnose an issue i was having with a custom 4.7ghz.)

and software... everything is a clean W7x64 installation a few days ago, so all the drivers are new, upto date and downloaded from their respective manufacturers.

Download Bluescreenview and take a look at the mini-dumps. Could be a driver issue, or possibly memory/video memory related? Bluescreenview may give a clearer insight

Tea_Bag

Just booted into windows after the fresh install, and installed the AMD 12.3 drivers i had downloaded an hour ago, rebooted and i get 2 errors already.

kdbsync.exe has stopped working.

and

The catalyst control center is not supported by the driver version of your enabled graphics adapter.

what the hell is going on?

is it cause i havent installed drivers for anything but GPU and wireless card?

It could be you video card is failing? I'm guessing the RAM on it is the issue, the VRAM. Most of the time BSOD's are hardware issues

Ahh, my auld buddy


I spent hours trying to fix this on a new build a few weeks back.


It needs the Microsoft .NET Framework to be installed, or it won't work right anyway.

I couldn't get rid of it untill everything was installed and updated to the latest (including UEFI).

Seems this is some bug with the newest 12.3 drivers,
