BSOD, seems to be an Nvdia Driver issue of some kind. PLS HLP.

Hi there-

I keep getting a random BSOD crash when I try to sync my new Ipod to my Itunes or sometimes when I put my computer under pretty good load through other applications as well. I am running Windows XP Media Center Edition with SP3 and all other updates installed. The blue screen crash dunp log from WHoCrashed software is as follows:

On Fri 8/27/2010 4:34:06 PM your computer crashed
This was likely caused by the following module: nvatabus.sys
Bugcheck code: 0x100000D1 (0x4, 0x2, 0x0, 0xB7EF004B)
Error: Unknown
Dump file: C:\WINDOWS\Minidump\Mini082710-11.dmp
file path: C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\nvatabus.sys
product: NVIDIA nForce™ IDE Driver
company: NVIDIA Corporation
description: NVIDIA® nForce™ IDE Performance Driver

This seems to be my NVida IDE driver. I currently have the follwing Nvida drivers showing up in my HArdware Device manager under the IDE section:

NVIDIA nForce4 Parallell ATA Controller with driver version 5.10.2600.507
Nvidia nForce4 Serial ATA Controller with driver version 5.10.2600.666

I have an AMD chipset in my computer:
Processor: 1
CPU_Name: AMD Turion™ 64 Mobile Technology ML-44
CPU_Manufacturer: AuthenticAMD
CPU_Caption: x86 Family 15 Model 36 Stepping 2
CPU_Version: Model 4, Stepping 2
CPU_ProcessorId: 078BFBFF00020F42
CPU_CurrentClockSpeed: 2412MHz
CPU_AddressWidth: 32Bits
CPU_DataWidth: 32Bits
CPU_SocketDesignation: CPU 1

It is an Alienware and it is currently running 2 hard drives using Raid 0.

If you need further info about the computer Ill be happy to provide it. As far as I know I am using the most up to date Nvidia drivers for my computer that Nvidia has on the website. Let me know what you think I should try to do to get rid of this bluescreen. Thanks.

Hi .

Have you tried uninstalling the aforementioned drivers, using Device Manager...and then reinstalling same after rebooting?

Louis

Yes I have uninstalled the drivers and then reinstalled the drivers. I have also tried a couple different driver versions from Nvidia for nforce4 with AMD chipset. But I dont seem to be fixing the problem.

OK, different approach time .

Download/install BlueScreenView, http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/blue_screen_view.html.

Double-click BlueScreenView.exe file.

When scanning is done, Edit/Select All.

Then File/Save Selected Items.

Save the report as BSOD.txt.

Open BSOD.txt in Notepad, copy all content and paste it into your next reply.

Louis-

Here is the log you requested. ALso I just unisntalled all my nvdia drivers and rolled them back to the ones that came on my CD with my computer just to see if this helped and it did not. See log below.

I'm at a loss...I would have to guess, only guess..that there is a problem of some sort with one of your hard drives or the RAID setup itself.

I don't have any real experience with RAiD or problems of the type that you seem to manifest...I suggest that you await some inputs from those members who do have such.

In the meantime...you might run diagnostics on the hard drives (individually).

Bootable Hard Drive Diagnostics - Vox - http://usasma.vox.com/library/post/bootabl...iagnostics.html

You have no other system anomalies, at any time other than those specified in your original post?

Have you checked Event Viewer for any indications of controller/hard drive errors?

I finally figured it out thanks in part to your suggestion about the hard drive. Event Viewer did show some hard drive erros due to bad sectors. It wasnt the driver after all, it was a problem with bad sectors on one of my hardrives. I used seatools to diagnose the bad sectors and then repair them. Everything is operating up to par again. Thanks for the assistance.

Thank you for letting us know what the problem/resolution were .

Happy computing .
