General Computer Support / Re: Intermittent BSODs
« on: December 03, 2017, 10:47:18 pm »
At least it's consistent... ;)

A 0x124 with the first parameter of 0x0 is a Machine Check Exception, basically the hardware, usually the CPU, is self-reporting an error after a check. This is usually a hardware fault or a hardware incompatibility, sometimes a corrupt driver causing a blockage in the lines of communication.

A good place to begin your research and testing is here: https://www.sevenforums.com/crash-lockup-debug-how/35349-stop-0x124-what-means-what-try.html

If you use the BIOS to disable any components, ports, etc. that are not applicable to your usage/hardware fitted before you begin troubleshooting, it should cut down on the number of drivers/filters that are loaded and might shorten the process a little.

I'd also advise checking for and installing the latest drivers for your hardware, try to ensure that all non-Windows DVD drivers (so 3rd party) are dated later than mid-2011 (SP1 release), more recent if you can find them. Uninstall any utility software that runs close to the hardware: defraggers, antivirus, 3rd party firewall etc. and rely on common sense and the stock Windows security during testing if you must use it online.

General Computer Support / Re: Email hacking improvements needed;

The 'PayPal' entry looks like a spoofing attempt, sender IP is NL/Belize/Latvia (mail server location/registration/owner, I think), the IP is on at least 5 email spam blocklists, latest report I saw (I didn't dig) was 1 "Spam" entry [02:32:50 27 Sep 2017 GMT+00].

The other IP is a frequent spammer/spamvertiser/virus dropper, probably out of CN.

Wasted here, better to report them to a site that creates email blocklists and get a good email filter/blocklist yourself; if you're already digging these out of your spam folder, leave them there and delete them regularly.

It might be that you were added as a BCC, or that it was forwarded to you, check the details in the full headers.

I'd suggest that it's highly unlikely to be a memory issue, other hardware issues, esp. disk errors, would be far higher up my list. Memory issues are much more likely to cause BSODs, either during the Boot process or, most likely, at some 'random' point afterwards - the Boot BSOD is likely to be of a consistent type, a BSOD whilst running would be a much more random series of different types.

Study these pages and the flowcharts and try to be specific about where exactly your hang is:
https://www.techsupportalert.com/content/windows-7-startup.htm
https://www.techsupportalert.com/content/windows-7-startup-detail.htm

Give us full details of your hardware and the average Up Time given on the task Manager Performance tab when you open it via a right-click on the Taskbar as soon as you can after the initial Boot - 'good' times for the Windows startup using this method would be ~40 seconds for a HDD and ~10 seconds for an SSD. The initial BIOS boot times will vary enormously, depending on the motherboard, BIOS, hardware installed and disabled motherboard features.

If it says Pro not (Demo), it should already be licensed so there's no need for somewhere to input your licence info.

58
Weird part of AOMEI is that I purchased two licenses but there is no place to enter the license key and they have not answered several inquiries on that...

Aomei software usually differentiates between the Demo/Pro etc. versions on the Help > About screen.

59
The J: is the drive flagged as having file system errors according to your logs.

If you'd like to stress test your drivers for stability now, you can - but it's not without risks and will usually trigger a BSOD, sometimes as a False Positive or occasionally pointing to a hardware problem. It might also make Windows unbootable - you need to have a Restore Point set and tested before utilising it.

https://www.sysnative.com/forums/bsod-crashes-kernel-debugging/29-driver-verifier-blue-screen-death-related.html. Study this and double-check everything before trying it out. Personally, I'd want to get the PC fully cleaned/patched up before using it.

The last Hotfix doesn't apply here, it's an older 'fix', pre-SP1.

Try the latest BitDefender Uninstall tool: http://www.majorgeeks.com/files/details/bitdefender_uninstall_tool.html

Another 0x3b with access denied relating to win32k.sys. It's late here, see what Boggin comes up with later, he might be online again in ~5 hours.

63
Can you load MSConfig (Start > Run 'msconfig' ) and choose Selective Startup + Load System Services, Apply and Ok, allow it to reboot - hopefully, it will start without a BSOD, so you can then begin checking those logs, trying to access System Restore, maybe begin uninstalls, ... ?

DRT = Driver Reference Table at Carrona.org, mirrored at Sysnative. A big list of the commonest drivers, often linking them to the originating site, where it might be possible to find drivers or further details.

If you're not using a piece of hardware, remove it or disable it from within the BIOS and that should prevent the driver from being loaded at Boot. (Here's how to determine which Broadcom device you have https://www.broadcom.com/support/ethernet-nic#determine_driver, it's a similar routine for other hardware drivers as well.)

I think you're running the old BitDefender 2015 version, uninstaller linked here. There's no single security software that's foolproof, most that claim to be are quite heavy and can interfere too much with eg. baked-in browser security, to the extent that you might be more at risk. Avast, Avg, Avira free versions are all quite good when they've been stripped down to remove the dross. Much depends on your PC usage though.

Now that Vista's fallen over the cliff, W7 is an older OS. MS' support for it has already declined, the latest CPU/motherboard chipsets don't support W7 - for older hardware, drivers are rarely updated.

The AMD drivers are likely to be good (though I'd still check for a more recent driver), Win32k.sys is a core Windows driver that sits between the graphics drivers, DirectX and GDI, and the Windows kernel. It's frequently updated to fix vulnerabilities - if it's compromised by some malformed fonts, for instance, it can lead to the PC being owned by the bad guys. It's not something that's possible to disable, without it, there's be no windows in Windows!

There are a few software programs that claim to find, and some might even install, updated drivers but they're not 100% accurate (neither are Windows' driver updates, even with W10), one bad driver and you might be back to BSODs.

Many drivers come as part of an installer package, so they're pretty much automated, others might need installing via the Device Manager (check the upper images in the above Broadcom links and you'll see Update Driver options in the menus).

66
It's looking like Windows boot was interrupted whilst trying to run the newly updated file versions, probably by older or incompatible 3rd party drivers. Maybe your BitDefender interfering, perhaps the boot time defragger - there are several other potential suspects. The Windows driver affected appears to be Win32k.sys, the kernel driver for the graphics subsystem.

I'd say *something* is preventing Win32k.sys from loading the hardware drivers for the graphics cards; Win32k.sys 22/06/2017 is the newest driver loaded, the oldest is BASFND.sys from 25/04/2003!

For the best chance of keeping an older OS running, esp. on a relatively complex workstation like yours, you need to ensure that 3rd party drivers starting at Boot are kept to a minimum - get the latest versions you can, any 3rd party driver that's older than the latest Service Pack (November 2010) needs to be uninstalled or updated. Set 2011 as your target oldest date for any 3rd party drivers, newer is likely to be better.

The driver supplied with DaemonTools (amongst others), sptd.sys, is a known bad driver, often causing BSODs on W7, use the DT uninstaller and then use one of the methods here to disable/uninstall the driver. Do you really need things like an active Boot time defragger?

For reference, list of 3rd party drivers by date plus pointers for further details:

Hi FreeCat.

We'll probably need a lot more data to figure this out, can you please follow these BSOD posting instructions as much as you can and attach the zipped folder(s) back here, please.

I see five good reasons illustrated in your screenshot not to recommend that site without a warning not to download/install anything from it first.

A bluescreen crash with BCCODE: 19 (0x19) is almost always caused by a device driver or filter. I did a search for the software and didn't see it listed by a trusted site, so I tried three different download sites, all were either blocked by my security or down. Not a good sign at all.

I was hoping to checkout what the software was supposed to do, I won't bother now - my guess is that the software contained a driver or filter set to run at boot time that would enable the software deeper access or better control over some hardware, probably into the networking stack, and interfered with your network connection and firewall.

Crashes like that can be very time-consuming to diagnose and fix, I'm pleased your cleanup routine  got you back online so quickly, nice work!

On my W7x64 Pro system using WR 3.9.27 Portable, Process Explorer shows that the Repair_Windows.exe initially loads 2x COMCTL32.dll, both are version 5.82.7601.18837 dated Fri Apr 24 18:56:50 2015 (date/time might differ based on relative Time Zones).

Process Explorer: http://www.majorgeeks.com/files/details/microsoft_process_explorer.html From View > Show Lower pane and Lower pane > DLLs, highlight your WR .exe in the upper pane and order the lower pane by name to show the loaded COMCTL.dll(s) near the top, double-click them to show the file versions, date/times and file locations.

If you supply these details for your system/COMCTL.dll files, it might help us figure out what's happening.

Many useful tools on that site...

You might want to check that with Malwarebytes.

That's longhand for "I can connect now."?

If so, it's likely a routing/DNS issue, there's been a recent change at server level and not all DNS servers have refreshed it, or some routing server is down, maybe something else - it's not my forte.

I get 'Server not found' with my hosts enabled, 'The connection was reset' with my hosts disabled.

Link is almost certainly 'good' but correctly blocked by hosts, Malwarebytes, adblocker, etc.

The crash minidump should be in the usual folder, C:\Windows\Minidump.

If it isn't, run MSInfo32 again and attach the NFO file.
