Hi guys, I'm experiencing a * STOP 1E* kind of BSOD. Strangely enough this occurs only when I boot my PC. After that, I enter in the recovery menu trying to correct the boot sequence. Doing so, the PC starts correctly in the second time. The problem appears again in the next “fresh” start up of the system in the next day.
I’m attaching the mini dump file, so if anyone can help me, please this is making me crazy!

My PC is relatively new, (less than six months) and its configurations is as follow:
MOBO: Gygabyte 880GM-UD2H
CPU: Phenom II X6 1090T
MEM: 8Gb Kingston (budget ones)
VGA: nVidia GTS 250 1Gb
PSU: 600W Thermaltake (not sure the model)
HD1: 160Gb Samsung (the oldest piece of the config)
HD2: 500Gb Seagate
Optical drives: 2 Samsung writemaster DVD burners
Multi flash memory card reader

Thanks for any help!

Hi st230.

STOP 0x0000001E: KMODE_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED.
Usual causes:
Device driver, hardware, System service, compatibility, Remote control programs, memory, BIOS.

Your latest dump file lists ataport.SYS as the probable cause. This is a Windows System file and for it to be the cause of your crash is highly unlikely.
Old and incompatible drivers can and do cause issues with Windows 7, often giving false error codes. Random stop codes often indicate hardware issues.


As a Priority:

sptd.sys Tue Nov 23 11:47:37 2010 The sptd.sys driver is notorious for causing BSOD's with Windows 7. It's a driver used and installed along with Daemon Tools and Alcohol 120 which you'll also have to uninstall.
Then use the correct (32bit or 64bit) download from Duplex Secure - Downloads to uninstall the SPTD.SYS driver.
Make sure to select the uninstall button! DO NOT SELECT INSTALL!!


Outdated Drivers. Update:

AtiPcie.sys Tue May 05 16:00:22 2009 ATI PCIE Chipset Driver. Go to Mobo Mfr. or AMD

Let us know how it goes. If you get further problems with blue screens, attach your new dump files and details and we'll move on from there.

What are your system specs? Do you have an AMD formerly ATI GPU installed? The reason I'm asking, I went through some thing very very similar to what you described in you post. In my case, the offending culprit was indeed hardware and it turned out to be my GPU. I had some old but good hardware in storage and started parts swapping. I started with the CPU, then my memory and finally the GPU. The cause of the GPU failure was an overheating problem, it was so hot that I couldn't remove it right away, I had to let the system cool off for an hour just to handle it. Since then I have taken apart the GPU and thoroughly inspected it and found it clogged with lent and dust on the heat sink which was so bad it was not allowing the unit to vent properly.

Hi guys, I'm experiencing a * STOP 1E* kind of BSOD. Strangely enough this occurs only when I boot my PC. After that, I enter in the recovery menu trying to correct the boot sequence. Doing so, the PC starts correctly in the second time. The problem appears again in the next “fresh” start up of the system in the next day.
I’m attaching the mini dump file, so if anyone can help me, please this is making me crazy!

My PC is relatively new, (less than six months) and its configurations is as follow:
MOBO: Gygabyte 880GM-UD2H
CPU: Phenom II X6 1090T
MEM: 8Gb Kingston (budget ones)
VGA: nVidia GTS 250 1Gb
PSU: 600W Thermaltake (not sure the model)
HD1: 160Gb Samsung (the oldest piece of the config)
HD2: 500Gb Seagate
Optical drives: 2 Samsung writemaster DVD burners
Multi flash memory card reader

Thanks for any help!
Please tell us what sleep states your computer supports by running powercfg -a from a command prompt (start>search>right click and run as admin>powercfg -1

Also what version of GPU driver is installed?

Hello again guys. Excuse the delay but I've been travelling.

Well, answering all questions:

1 - My GPU is the described before nVidia Geforce GTS 250 1Gb (not AMD bassfisher6522)

2 - I've disabled the hibernate long ago, kepping only the suspension mode.

3 - I've updated the nvidia display drivers yesterday to the new one (280.26), and also the Daemon Tools to the SPTD 1.78 (since Elmer said it is a possible BSOD source)

After that, I had no more BSOD's on start up, but its a little to soon to guarantee.

Anyway, thanks for the help guys! I'll be doing some more testing and if the problem has been gone I'm going to come back here to the final notes.

Thanks!

Well, it seems tha the problem has gone. Apparently it was the SPTD indeed.

Thanks again Elmer! You saved me twice since I bought this PC!

Hello again!

It seems that the problem returns. Now I had a “STOP 0x0000024”. Again, this happens only on the start up.

The BSOD have not appeared for a while since I have updated the Daemon Tools virtual drive software, but then again it started to happen.

My PC stills the same:
MOBO: Gigabyte 880GM-UD2H
CPU: Phenom II X6 1090T
MEM: 8Gb Kingston (budget ones)
VGA: nVidia GTS 250 1Gb
PSU: 600W Thermaltake (not sure the model)
HD1: 160Gb Samsung (the oldest piece of the config)
HD2: 500Gb Seagate
Optical drives: 2 Samsung writemaster DVD burners
Multi flash memory card reader

Here is the minidump. Do you think that the problem can be Daemon tools related? I’ll disable it the next time I have a BSOD to test.

STOP 0x00000024: NTFS_FILE_SYSTEM
Usual causes: Disk corruption, insufficient physical memory, Device driver, Indexing, Resident antivirus, backup, defrag programs, Disk/Drive failing/failure.

This ones blaming your Ntfs.sys file. But you still have an sptd driver showing, although it's updated. Cannot stress enough that this needs to be removed from your system.

sptd.sys Sun Feb 27 19:29:52 2011 Use the correct (32bit or 64bit) download from Duplex Secure - Downloads to uninstall the SPTD.SYS driver.
Make sure to select the uninstall button! DO NOT SELECT INSTALL!!

After running the above tool to remove the sptd.sys driver, do a search to see if you can find it. If you happen to, rename it sptd.old. That will break it and prevent it from loading.

If you were using DT for drive emulation (virtual drives) I can recommend DVDFab Free, it's compact and resource light and can emulate up to 18 drives, I believe (one's enough for me!).

Hardly befuddled, Elmer is right as usual. SPTD.SYS is often a cause of BSOD's

If after removing it you still are experiencing BSOD's please do the following.

Do what ELMER says first

Please run these two tests to verify your memory and find which driver is causing the problem.


1-Memtest.

*Download a copy of Memtest86 and burn the ISO to a CD using Iso Recorder or another ISO burning program. http://www.memtest.org/#downiso

*Boot from the CD, and leave it running for at least 5 or 6 passes.

Just remember, any time Memtest reports errors, it can be either bad RAM or a bad motherboard slot.

Test the sticks individually, and if you find a good one, test it in all slots.

http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/105647-ram-test-memtest86.html



2-Driver verifier


I'd suggest that you first backup your data and then make sure you've got access to another computer so you can contact us if problems arise. Then make a System Restore point (so you can restore the system using the Vista/Win7 Startup Repair feature).

In Windows 7 you can make a Startup Repair disk by going to Start....All Programs...Maintenance...Create a System Repair Disc - with Windows Vista you'll have to use your installation disk or the "Repair your computer" option at the top of the Safe Mode menu .

Then, here's the procedure:
- Go to Start and type in "verifier" (without the quotes) and press Enter
- Select "Create custom settings (for code developers)" and click "Next"
- Select "Select individual settings from a full list" and click "Next"
- Select everything EXCEPT FOR "Low Resource Simulation" and click "Next"
- Select "Select driver names from a list" and click "Next"
Then select all drivers NOT provided by Microsoft and click "Next"
- Select "Finish" on the next page.

Reboot the system and wait for it to crash to the Blue Screen. Continue to use your system normally, and if you know what causes the crash, do that repeatedly. The objective here is to get the system to crash because Driver Verifier is stressing the drivers out. If it doesn't crash for you, then let it run for at least 36 hours of continuous operation (an estimate on my part).

If you can't get into Windows because it crashes too soon, try it in Safe Mode.
If you can't get into Safe Mode, try using System Restore from your installation DVD to set the system back to the previous restore point that you created.

Thank you guys for all the support!

For now, the BSOD's stopped again after the SPTD removal. If it happens again, then I'll do these tests.

Cheers!
