It literally verifies each of the drivers on your PC until it comes across the one causing the problem, intentionally generating that same Blue Screen, but then recording the information in a log file, helping you to track down the problem.
The Command Prompt where you type verifier. This looks similar across all versions. The Driver Verifier screen in Windows Vista and 7. The Driver Verifier screen in Windows 8. You must restart your PC at this point. Then, try to cause the BSoD again by doing what you did before.
Windows is placing extra stress on your drivers to help you along. Restart your PC after finishing with Driver Verifier. Driver Verifier will run, trigger the Blue Screen and record a log file. Try Googling the driver name to find out what piece of hardware on your PC uses it.
The Windows 7 version is here , and The Windows 8 version is here. Download the SDK, install it, select the debugging tools, and deselect everything else. Select only this part during installation. Right-click on the problem driver and click Update Driver.
Or, use our application Driver Reviver , not to be confused with Driver Verifier. Driver Reviver updates all the existing drivers on your PC automatically, and is especially good for updating poorly performing drivers, like this one, to the latest and greatest version.

That is a known issue with MSI motherboards. What is the model of your board? MSI offers a test report for hardware configurations here:. Check and see if something with an update has broken drivers and bounce your hardware against this list.
Hope this helps. As of right now BIOS itself seems to work fine, or do you mean that there shpuld be done something else in order to connect storage drivers? Btw, I wasn't able to find my exact HDDs on the list, only the same model but with 1Tb of storage more. So your PC won't turn on when a certain drive is connected? Some drives, when exposed to a surge or the wrong voltage, will short the power to protect the drive, that way in data recovery the short can be removed and the drive can work again although with no protection.
If the drive shorts your power supply when and prevents a power on maybe the drive has gone short circuit. I cannot find a patter when It does let the PC boot and when it's not. It's a real pain in the arse when you can't even pinpoint the source of the problem.
I connected the drive with the game, tried to launch it - boom, the game froze again, shortly after I closed it via Task manager the disc this game was installed on disappeared from the system.
I've deleted all the data on it and now am running HDD Regenerator which is used to locate problems with HDDs and repair them etc to see if it will find any problems. Considering the test is almost finished after 4 hours and I don't see even a single error report from it I have a feeling it won't find anything.
I can't understand why the heck SSD is working just fine, launching games from it is fine as well, but as soon as I've tried launch game from HDD - boom, right in your face. I even had an idea that it may be related to bad sata power cable. I'm formatting this drive right now to see if reinstalling the game on the clean one will make any difference.
Can't see the image yet, but thanks. Usually if your drive will benefit from the HDD Regenerator, it is because it is defective even if just a little bit. If my drive looses just a 'little bit' of my data due to hardware problems I consider it not working right even if it just happens once.
Maybe a bad power supply? Demand from a hard drive and a video card makes the HD drop offline and crashes the OS? Not totally sure how many drives you are dealing with. I was thinking about PSU as well, and I'm going to check voltages, sadly using software method for now. I have a voltmeter somewhere in the house but gotta find it first to see what voltages are on the cables when I'm in the game. As for the usage, welp, SSD is used for OS and programs and it has been used the same way before the clean reinstall , and that HDD I'm dealing with right now was ever used for 1.
I was thinking that maybe Index data is somehow was corrupted but why would the drive disconnect now that I have Index data on the same drive as the system?
Why would it even mind the data irrelevant to it anymore? I have 4 HDDs in total, but right now only one of them is connected, and I'm trying to figure out the problem with it before start testing the others.
I did noticed that my GPU was kinda hot during the latest test. I'm about to change a thermal paste on GPU but I'm not sure this will help. That drive appears to be defective due to 2, unreadable sectors pending replacement this is assuming the SMART program is reading the raw data right.
I see some command timeouts too, a few aren't totally abnormal, but depending on data interpretation there are There is additional data to be had with GSmartControl if you run "smartctl. OR csmi0,0 or csmi0, OR pd0. I've also seen drives with "sectors to be replaced" C5,C6 and no sectors are unreadable when other bad things are going on with the drive.
Checking the voltages on the power supply with a voltmeter isn't going to do much good, it won't show ripple current, it won't show short spikes on load changes or randomly , you'd need a oscilloscope to check properly I have no usage advice, and they aren't cheap. A trusted power supply isn't super expensive.
I don't know anything about your power situation. On battery backup? At least a surge suppressor? Have lots of power issues? Loose any other hardware in a storm? Most hard drives use 12v to spin the motor and 5 volt to run the board, a drop of either will take the drive offline. SSDs generally use 5v for everything and draw so little power that they can handle more adversity.
The data one the drive doesn't matter search indexer problems aren't going to drop the drive offline. Then again low power to the CPU or ram could cause problem a glitch for 10 seconds now could corrupt ram and cause a crash 30 minutes later. Windows will try to reset the video card, but no guarantee especially a hardware malfunction due to heat or power. You said you hard drive was at 91c? If you have other drives which, when attached to power, prevent the system from posting then maybe those drives have gone short circuit in self defense due to a surge from the power supply.
Those drives won't work again without repair. On the other hand if it is just power supply load ie several HDs then the load of an active game on the video card could cause malfunction too. Can you please point it to me? If you are referring to the two yellow dots then recently they fell to 25 which surprised me. The power situation in my region is pretty stable. There may be some unexpected electricity blackouts from time time rare but that's it. Maybe manufacturing defect but it is surprising it is working for almost 1 year now and I've never experienced any problems with it.
I've made around 5 more tests just to be sure there wasn't a mistake. With that info I'm at least able to sent it back to the manufacturer. Maybe it will turn out all drives are gone for good I hope this HDD is the only one. Right now I've connected another one same model, but a bit older and the manufacturer self-test said it is okay.
I hope it is. I will try and isntall the game on it and see if there are any differences but I'm worrying about those temps from GPU under load, so maybe it will take a couple of days before I'll find a good thermal paste for it. I've worked with this exact model of drive before, I know some of it's quirks. Early releases of this model were buggy when they had to deal with defects 3TB model was much worse. Seagate says they may or may not have changed things in later releases, the firmware numbers will stay the same and old models can't be updated -- the changes were physical or their were no changes Seagate being paranoid about their trade secrets, can't even tell me if they fixed something.
Your drive found lots of totally unreadable sectors, waited for a good moment to replace them with spares usually when you write new data to those sectors then bizarrely decided "no wait these sectors are good now lets keep using them".
I tried to look up your drive with Seagate, but either I guessed your country wrong or Seagate doesn't do warranty work in Russia due to some weird Russian law about user data leaving the country. You might also want a dedicated one for your PC, which also protects the ethernet coming from your cable modem to your router or if the cable modem is all in one, then between that and your pc, wireless is immune of course.
A battery backup is even better. Not that this was your problem, but a good idea. No matter where the game code was stored, the GPU temp spikes high, usually an unmodded non-overclocked card would do a better job keeping temp.
If you have previously removed the heat sink you need to totally clean the surface their are fluids out their for that and reapply a proper amount of good paste.
I've seen ones with "good" parts but they left out most of the safety circuits to cut costs. It shuts off If there is background activity it will delay the finish of the test. Best to run the test from something bootable. Also run the full test. Toshiba brand drives that I've seen instead of failing when they hit a bad sector will take an unlimited amount of time to try to replace them with spares to cover up the failure the test always passes Hitachi also does some weird stuff.
Post all your smart data for anything you haven't posted yet, SDDs, and HDs you have hooked up now, may as well take a look. Thanks for the explanation. I was planning on buying 3Tb version in the future though but after your words I meant the store where I've bought my HDD. I still have warranty from them. What are they going to do with that HDD and how isn't really my problem. I've never touched my GPU other than cleaning it from the dust. This thread is locked.
