Getting BSODs 0xa0000001 suddenly

[wand3r3r]

I'm suddenly getting inundated by BSODs.

0xa0000001 is the code I'm seeing before a quick reboot.

What direction would you start looking?

I tested my HDDs with smart tests and some basic tests in a Seagate SeaTools. I haven't gotten further yet.

What driver (.sys file) is implicated by the BSOD?

it took me three years of monthly (random) BSOD and several OS reloads, and drive replacements to realize I had a bad SATA port on my board. I even switch SATA cables but kept using the same set of ports. Now it is fine. I came VERY close to scrapping the system.

Where can you find that out? It's not in the event viewer.

I had several GPUs connected on an open bench so I kept 2 and took the pcie risers off. I had just vacuumed the rig so I was suspicious and checked all the cables etc and it felt like a USB cable was loose or has a poor fitting and after I tightened all the cables it worked for a few hours.

I'll see if I get any more BSODs or if that was the cause.

It'll be on the BSOD screen itself, near the bottom.

Have you deleted cache, *.tmp files and run "chkdsk /r" (relocate bad sectors)?

I would get something that would read the minidump.

You'll have a much easier time finding the problem with that info.

I guess I either missed it or it wasn't there. It wasn't in the center area of the screen (I took a pic to catch the error code).

I haven't, I just ran the seagate quick tests (3 of them). I should try this.

I should look into that.


----------

I haven't had any BSODs since checking and snugging up all the wires and dropping the risers and 2nd psu etc.

The AMD display driver has started crashing on flash sites in IE11. I don't know if it's related but it didn't used to do that, although it hasn't BSODed from the flash issue.
