Thread: BSOD when returning from sleep

Hi,

I don't have the dmp file reader app installed at the moment but a quick look through your files and I see your bios is out of date. One thing we've noticed in the forums is that windows 8 always works best with the latest bios and driver updates. :

GIGABYTE - Motherboard - Socket 1155 - GA-H77N-WIFI (rev. 1.0)

Thank you, your help is highly appreciated.

I tried what you suggested : ie., upgraded bios to version F3C (beta). I selected Windows 8 in this bios OS settings (was not in F2 version). The problem is still there though
Then I tried to enable ERP, disable integrated graphic instead of auto, intitialise PEG graphic first but it did not fix the issue.

Please find the attached new dumps with the latest (F3C) BIOS.

Hi,

I've re-installed the dmp file viewer so was able to go over your dmp files.

I notice you have Rivatuner running:

Rt630x64.sys Wed Oct 19 13:12:55 2011

Please uninstall until we determine the cause of your issues as Rivatuner can cause bsod's under certain circumstances.

Please update your graphic drivers to this version:

NVIDIA DRIVERS 310.90WHQL

Turn off driver verifier by opening an cmd prompt and typing:

verifier/reset

Then reboot.

Please post back if the issues continue.

Hi,

I guess that Rivatuner is a part of MSI AfterBurner app (GPU tweak). So I removed AftreBurner. Note that I already got the issue before installing this MSI utility. I installed it in order to check GPU temp (low : 24°C idle and <60°C at OCCT full load).

The 310.90 WHQL are already installed. I've done the verifier/reset command.

The problem is still there. The new dump is the most recent in the archive.

Please download this application and run it to remove the nvidia graphic drivers. Then install the latest versions again.

Driver Fusion - The Complete Driver Solution

OK, it's done. The system still crashes when returning from sleep.
Note that I got 1 good return to desktop without any message, 1 with the "driver did not respond and has recovered", 1 black screen, and finally the BSOD with "driver verifier detected violation" message.

Please find attached newest archive and a photograph of the BSOD. Note that theBSOD screen I get always corrupted display like that. My system is stable and the graphic card has never failedl in game or anywhere, it fails only when returning from sleep state.

Thank you for the time you spend

How large is your power supply? You list a Seasonic G-360 ... is 360 watts its rating?

What exact model of memory do you have so we can check the specs?

Yes it is a 360W gold seasonic. It sounds low wattage but the 12V rail can output 30A. My system runs at stock speed.
A(t full load (OCCT) it needs less that 250W at the outlet.
System without the GTX660 needs about 90W and the GTX 660 needs 150W in the worst case.

Do you think that my PS is too weak? It works flawlessly at full load OCCT or in game though.

My memory modules are a 2x4GB 12800 Crucial ballistix tactical low profile. I tested them with memtest86 and there are no errors. Modules are these ones : 8GB Kit (4GBx2), Ballistix 240-pin DIMM, DDR3 PC3-12800 upgrades for Giga-Byte GA-H77N-WIFI Motherboard, CT3736510 from Crucial.com
