BSOD - Clock Interrupt was not received - Windows 7 x64

Uninstall Afterburner temporarily - you can reinstall it after the system has been stabilized.
 
Another BSOD. And this was while my computer was not logged in.
"A process or thread crucial to system operation has unexpectedly exited or been terminated."

The Ntfs!NtfsFsdRead+0x2d4 seems to be used with a file system driver to read from a file object. It's not documented, so I'm basing my assumption around some code posted on ReactOS.

It does seem related to the storage stack, or the at least the file system.

Which hard drive diagnostic tests have you taken? Do you have a SSD?
 
Which hard drive diagnostic tests have you taken? Do you have a SSD?

I've used HD Tune Pro 5.50
And yes I have an OCZ Vertex 3 120GB SSD

I also have a SATA controller PCI card - Promise FastTrak TX4310.... unsure if this helps
 
Have you checked you have the latest firmware for your SSD, and checked you have the latest SATA and chipset drivers?
 
In addition to BlueRobot's recommendations, I would use Seatools as opposed to HDTune for testing a hard disk:

SeaTools | Seagate

You can run it via Windows or DOS. Do note that the only difference is simply the environment you're running it in. In Windows, if you are having what you believe to be device driver related issues that may cause conflicts or false positive, it may be a wise decision to choose the most minimal testing environment (DOS).

Run all tests EXCEPT: Fix All, Long Generic, and anything Advanced.

Have you checked you have the latest firmware for your SSD, and checked you have the latest SATA and chipset drivers?

I'm sure there are new firmware drivers for my SSD however it is my primary OS drive. Don't I need to run like Linux in Virtual memory to then update the firmware?
Mobo is ASUS P6T Deluxe V2... there have been no new drivers for a while.
 
SSD should always be at latest firmware. If that means having to back up your data and run an image or clean install, you definitely should. *F4 bug checks when an SSD is present in the system are usually always caused by the firmware needing to be updated.

OK cheers for that. Will look at getting that sorted.

BTW, there were no more BSOD's after running driver verifier after I had removed my Razer mouse and drivers. :-(
Now using generic mouse, this sucks.
 
How long ago did you remove the drivers + mouse? If it has been a few days, it was likely a combination of the two (more than likely the drivers as opposed to the mouse itself). Razer drivers have always been crap, but not too long ago they started shoving their drivers and updates through a software called Synapse which should win an award for being the most troublesome software out there.

I ran the verifier yesterday. It picked up that the file "Lachesis.sys" was the cause.
Removed drivers, software & mouse.
Ran verifier again.... no more BSOD's.

Is it possible to have the Lachesis mouse work without the Razer drivers?
 
Yes, definitely. I use mine without the drivers. Just plug it in and it'll use the generic Windows drivers. Don't install Razer's drivers from Windows Update or the Razer website.

Patrick
 
Have OC'd the CPU to 3.8GHz now as well. It seems good at the moment.

I would not do this, especially directly after dealing with BSOD issues. Drop the system to stock settings and let it go for a week or so. If you don't crash, you know the Razer drivers were likely the cause of the crashes, and then you can consider it solved and go about overclocking or whatever you desire. If you overclock now, if it's unstable, you will BSOD and come back here and we'll be running in circles.

Hi,

Nothing new, *124 BSOD with an internal CPU timer error on Processor 0 and Cache Bank 5. Is the system overclocked, or did you follow my advice of keeping it stock? I cannot check speeds:

Code:
5: kd> !sysinfo cpuspeed
sysinfo: could not find necessary interfaces.
sysinfo: note that mssmbios.sys must be loaded (XPSP2+).

Regards,

Patrick
