hi guys
thought i would ask these questions here as graphics section gets more views .
Had this computer nearly 5 full days and all i have had is problem after problem after problem after problem .
will skip the first few problems i had with the display ports and cables as i managed to get it working with full DVI cable.
my main issue is bugging the hell out of me .
after i had the problems with the display ports on graphics cards i started getting random
PFN_FILE_CORRUPT
MEMORY_MANAGMENT_ERROR
POOL_CORRUPTION_ERROR
BAD_POOL_HEADER
FLTMGR_FILE_SYSTEM_ERROR
i have also been gettig other blue screen when it doesn't even go to blue screen it just reboots the computer .
mostly these blue screen can happen while playing a game or installing a program and on a few occasions just complete froze . ive also had black screen of death just by playing a few games , mainly COD:AW or FC4 .
so i decided to do a fresh instal and get rid of all the things dell on the computer .
did this loaded the drivers i need , lan driver (killer) , Soundblaster (on the motherboard, bluetooth driver, command center . all these were dell drivers .
then loaded my own , nvidia 3,47 drivers , and my steam , origin, uplay , and other programs.
but this didnt change anything as i kept getting PFN_FILE_CORRUPT and the odd MEMORY_MANAGEMENT_ERROR .
I found out how i could read the DMP file and couldn't understand any of it apart from win8driverfault .
I then decided to do windows update and there was a lot of updates to instal , must have been east 4gb .
but this was another problem ,, some updates would just not instal and fail and on reboot it would roll back the updates and take 20 minutes then reboot again and then start the rolling back thing .
I had enough so i took out the hard drive and reformatted a different SSD drive from my old Alienware and tried instal windows 7 from a dell disc from old system ..wooot dvd drive wouldn't even recognize the disc to even instal it , so after reformatting my other SSD it said can not instal windows on the drive . it had to be another format , i couldn't remember what but managed to find a youtube video of the instructions on how to get it to the right format .
well installed windows 8.1 and this time i decided i was going to do windows update first after installing only one drive , the Gigabit lan driver so i could download the updates .
we god dam , after an hour downloading the updates it says can not instal updates , so had a look and it was 2 updates out of about 20 million updates .so skipped these and restarted pc . then did another windows update check and there is another 1.2gb to download . downloaded these and installed , rebooted and then checked again , another 1.2 .. damn these updates are not installing as the first 2 were the same windows defender updates . I actually did this by accident as after the 3rd attempt windows would go back to the desktop after going to setting on the right hand side of the pull down bar on desktop , change pc settings , then update and recover , it would just crash that page and throw me back to the desktop . went into control panel and went into windows update from there and it found 1.6gb of updates , it it tuned out i need the famous KB2919355 then those other 2 updates that wouldn't instal before would instal now . managed to get all updates installed after 3 hours and after a few refused instals . during this time i had 2 blue screen while doing the updates . a PFN_FILE_CORRUPT and this was this had no drivers even though it says on DMP file that its a driver issue . and i had the FLTMGR_FILE_SYSTEM_ERROR.
This was just drving me mad , no drivers installed apart from one , i do know you are supposed to instal all drivers before windows update but i tried that and didnt work . this all started from when i had the problems with the display port and screen going into standby before it gets to windows 8 login screen .
so i then decide to put all my drivers on and my programs , no crashes yet , installed my steam folder (separate drive ) along with programs like cpuz, gpuz , msi afterburner
all fine until i fire up a game far cry 4 and it just goes black and reboots . same with COD , i can play COD single player for about 10 minutes then would randomize either blue screen with memory management error or the pfn file corrupt error and now i got a different one where i couldn't catch it .
im now at my wits end to why this is happening and i have never ran into such problems like this even with my old system , i have tried malware removal , antivirus removal . took out all 3 graphics cards just used one card and same happens . did a test through windows diagnostic tool and so with dells version . and no memory problems . I will do a memtest on each stick over the weekend .
anybody have same issues .?
P.S if this dont make any sense then sorry iv had no sleep for 4 days ..grrrrrrr
there will be lots of other things i have missed out and perhaps i will remember once i have had some sleep .
