My Windows 7 PC has been BSODing 1-2 times daily, completely at random, for probably 2 months at this point. It sometimes does it when I'm AFK even.
For a long time, all of the errors were the exact same.
STOP ox0000001E (0xFFFFFFFFC0000005, 0XFFFFF8003067734, 0X0000000000000000.0 X000007FFFFFF0000)
However I have also gotten SYSTEM_SERVICE_EXCEPTION
STOP: 0x0000003B (0x00000000C0000005, 0xFFFFF80003028734, 0xFFFFF88011667470.0 X0000000000000000)
Currently, my C: drive is low on space (13GB gb left) . In effort to give my PC a chance to redeem itself before resigning myself to getting a new one, I decided to attempt to see if it would fix things to try to install Windows anew on an unused, larger SSD that I bought some time ago but never got round to installing things on.
However, after some trouble getting it to show up in the first place, attempts to format the new disk or assign it a name cause an immediate BSOD:
IRQL_GT_ZERO_AT_SYSTEM_SERVICE
0X0000004A (0X0000000077CB138A, 0X0000000000002, 0X000000XFFFFF880107AFB60)
It has done this three times, every time I try to format it. Obviously, I can't even begin to install windows on the new drive (which was also giving me trouble because I couldn't get the mouse to work during the install from DVD) and I shudder to think how much all these BSODs during attempted formats might be playing havoc with the thing.
Unfortunately, I cannot supply any dump files, I'm not sure why, but when I change it to do a small memory dump it says:
'Windows might not be able to record details that could help identify system errors because your current paging file is disabled or less than 1 megabytes. Click OK to return to the Virtual memory settings window, enable the paging file, and set the size to a value over 1 megabytes'.
This, however, is nonsense, as I have 'system managed' virtual memory on two different hard drives.
There is also nothing in the event log except a record that my PC shut down unexpectedly
I have tested my PC's memory with Memtest and it did not find any issues.
I feel that since I can't even format this new drive, my PC is probably a goner, but has anyone any insight into what is causing these weird problems?
