Bluetooth Driver BSOD Issues, Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit

Anonymous
2011-05-08T16:00:58+00:00

I have a Mini-ITX PC with Windows 7 64-bit, and a Blueu-2310 USB/PCIe Mini Card with WiFi and Bluetooth on the same card, on an Intel D525MW motherboard.

The issue I'm having is that whenever I install the Bluetooth drivers, it seems to work beautifully. Finds the device, starts bluetooth, programs recognize the existence of it, I can even connect my phone and it works.

However, when I go to reboot, Windows installs some "Generic" bluetooth drivers, which get big green checkmarks and adds the generic bluetooth radio in the device manager. I'm not sure why it does this, since it works fine before the reboot, but it does and I can't stop it.

When I reboot windows after it installs its generic drivers, it will, 90% of the time, BSOD on me as soon as the BT radio is turned on. Sometimes, if you just let it boot windows normally, it'll disable the device and say that it's reported a problem (Code 43) in the device manager. Any attempt to re-enable it generally causes a BSOD as soon as the radio is turned back on, and it reboots into BSOD's until you finally boot into safe mode, disable the device, reboot normally, uninstall/reinstall the driver, and repeat the process. Sometimes it's smart enough to just turn the radio off, and you can manually turn the radio on from the taskbar in the lower right hand corner, and it'll BSOD immediately.

I understand this is a 3rd party driver and it could be an issue with their driver. But what  puzzles me is why Windows feels the need to install its own generic drivers along with the ones I already had installed.

Please, any help would be great. I'm stuck here!

I can link to the 3rd party drivers as well as any other information required if necessary. I chose not to just in case some sort of spam filter freaked out from this being my first post.

Thanks in advance,

-Eric

OK! Well I feel retarded...

Apparently the BlueSoleil software is supposed to install alongside CentraFuse auto, but something wasn't quite working right. I got BlueSoleil to install, and found out that Centrafuse actually gives you an unlock code for the BlueSoleil software, as well as access to their updates and what not.

I sitll don't like the fact that not having a 3rd party software installed causes bluescreens, but I guess this is good enough. It's working. I can't get it to crash. My phone shows up as a device where it's supposed to, ... etc.

Thanks for all the help and patience. :) I did get the low-level drivers installed and while they didn't seem to help this issue, it's a good troubleshooting tool for the box.

    Hi,

    **Results verified by WinDBG, DumpCHK, and BlueScreenView.**The BugChecks were 0A (5), 1A, and 7E.

    0A CAUSE was BlueToothUsb_w764.sys - update the BIOS (you have), low level chipset

    drivers, and other on-board drivers - especially anything relating to USB and BlueTooth.

    Memory and malware could also be involved in the issue so check those thoroughly using

    the methods in the troubleshooter and/or below.

    BugCheck A, {10, 2, 0, fffff800028276a9}

    Probably caused by : BlueToothUsb_w764.sys ( BlueToothUsb_w764+3b839 )

    FAILURE_BUCKET_ID:  X64_0xA_BlueToothUsb_w764+3b839

    BUCKET_ID:  X64_0xA_BlueToothUsb_w764+3b839

    1A CAUSE was a Windows component which means something else drove it into Fault.

    A BlueTooth Process was running though no indication of the root cause. See the trouble-

    shooter for methods to try to solve the issue.

    7E CAUSE   btcusb.sys - look updates to the BlueTooth and USB drivers.

    You need to add adequate antivirus/antispyware protection - see the recommendations

    in the reply below.

    ======================================================================

    troubleshoot BlueScreens - top 3 methods (+1 other).

    Drivers could be at fault however disk issues or antivirus/antispyware/security products are

    just as likely to be the root cause as they can force a driver to corrupt or go out of bounds.

    The video driver or something affecting it would be very suspect.

    Be sure the drivers, BIOS, and low level chipset drivers are all updated by manually checking

    at the System maker and device makers's sites.

    Below I will post a generic bluescreen troubleshooter and in the next message how to update

    drivers and BIOS as well as do memory checks.


    BCCode: 0A     0x0000000A

    Cause

    This bug check is issued if paged memory (or invalid memory) is accessed when the IRQL is too high.

    The error that generates this bug check usually occurs after the installation of a faulty device driver, system service, or BIOS.

    If you encounter bug check 0xA while upgrading to a later version of Windows, this error might be caused by a device driver, a system service, a virus scanner, or a backup tool that is incompatible with the new version.

    Resolving the Problem

    If a kernel debugger is available, obtain a stack trace.

    To resolve an error caused by a faulty device driver, system service, or BIOS

    1. Restart your computer.
    2. Press F8 at the character-based menu that displays the operating system choices.
    3. Select the Last Known Good Configuration option from the Windows Advanced Options menu. This option is most effective when only one driver or service is added at a time.

    To resolve an error caused by an incompatible device driver, system service, virus scanner, or backup tool

    1. Check the System Log in Event Viewer for error messages that might identify the device or driver that caused the error.
    2. Try disabling memory caching of the BIOS.
    3. Run the hardware diagnostics supplied by the system manufacturer, especially the memory scanner. For details on these procedures, see the owner's manual for your computer.
    4. Make sure the latest Service Pack is installed.
    5. If your system has small computer system interface (SCSI) adapters, contact the adapter manufacturer to obtain updated Windows drivers. Try disabling sync negotiation in the SCSI BIOS, checking the cabling and the SCSI IDs of each device, and confirming proper termination.
    6. For integrated device electronics (IDE) devices, define the onboard IDE port as Primary only. Also, check each IDE device for the proper master/subordinate/stand-alone setting. Try removing all IDE devices except for hard disks.

     If the message appears during an installation of Windows, make sure that the computer and all installed peripherals are listed in the Microsoft Windows Marketplace Tested Products List.

    Comments

    Before upgrading to a new version of Windows, remove all third-party device drivers and system services, and disable any virus scanners. Contact the software manufacturers to obtain updates of these third-party tools.

    BCCode: 0A     0x0000000A  <-- read this linkhttp://www.faultwire.com/solutions-fatal\_error/IRQL-NOT-LESS-OR-EQUAL-0x0000000A-\*1025.html

    ==================================================================

    BCCode: 1a  0x0000001aRemove ALL power and reseat all cards, memory, and cables (both ends when possible) -

    actually remove and replace - do not just snug. Make sure the vents are clear and that the

    fans are working. Even though the temp is OK do not assume heat can't affect the video,

    sound or other system functions it those get to hot. Try adding a small fan blowing into

    the vents as a test. (Those are mostly for a PC not a laptop.)

    Have you added any hardware lately? Have you updated any driver just before these started?

    (Check Control Panel - Windows Updates to see if any drivers were updated there about the

    time this started) Main likely culprits are Video driver, other major drivers, memory, and

    antivirus/antispyware/security products could be at fault as well as drive issues.

    Use the troubleshooter below and refer to the next message for drivers and memory when

    you get to those sections and then return back to the troubleshooter as needed.

    BCCode: 1a  0x0000001a  <-- read this linkhttp://www.faultwire.com/solutions-fatal\_error/MEMORY-MANAGEMENT-0x0000001A-\*1041.html?order=votes

    ==================================================================

    BCCode: 7E      0x0000007E  which is also 0x1000007E

    Check these KB articles :

    "Stop 0x0000007E" or "Stop 0x00000050" Stop error message in Windows 7 or Windows Server

    heavy load conditions in Windows 7 or Windows Server 2008 R2

    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/983615

    References to Vista also apply to Windows 7.

    This error is usually a driver issue and display adapter (video) driver is the most suspect though it

    could be others. Antivirus/antispyware/security programs, hardware (heat) and major software issues

    can also cause the error. When you get to the driver section of the troubleshooter use my generic

    methods in the next message and then return to the troubleshooter if needed.

    Have you added hardware recently or updated drivers? Be sure to look in Control Panel - Windows

    Updates to see if any drivers were updated there. Other lessor possibilities include antivirus/anti-

    spyware/security programs.

    When you get to the driver and memory sections of the troubleshooter refer to the next message to

    update drivers and test memory and then refer back to the troubleshooter if needed.

    BCCode: 7E      0x0000007E  which is also 0x1000007E

    Cause

    The SYSTEM_THREAD_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED bug check is a very common bug check. To

    interpret it, you must identify which exception was generated.

    Common exception codes include the following:

    • 0x80000002: STATUS_DATATYPE_MISALIGNMENT indicates an unaligned data reference was encountered.
    • 0x80000003: STATUS_BREAKPOINT indicates a breakpoint or ASSERT was encountered when no kernel debugger was attached to the system.
    • 0xC0000005: STATUS_ACCESS_VIOLATION indicates a memory access violation occurred.

    For a complete list of exception codes, see the Ntstatus.h file that is located in theinc directory of

    the Microsoft Windows Driver Kit (WDK).

    Resolving the Problem

    If you are not equipped to debug this problem, you should use some basic troubleshooting techniques.

    • Make sure you have enough disk space.
    • If a driver is identified in the bug check message, disable the driver or check with the
    • manufacturer for driver updates.
    • Try changing video adapters.
    • Check with your hardware vendor for any BIOS updates.
    • Disable BIOS memory options such as caching or shadowing.

    If you plan to debug this problem, you might find it difficult to obtain a stack trace. Parameter 2

    (the exception address) should identify the driver or function that caused this problem.

    If exception code 0x80000003 occurs, a hard-coded breakpoint or assertion was hit, but the system

    was started with the /NODEBUG switch. This problem should rarely occur. If it occurs repeatedly,

    make sure that a kernel debugger is connected and the system is started with the /DEBUG switch.

    If exception code 0x80000002 occurs, the trap frame supplies additional information.

    If you do not know the specific cause of the exception, consider the following issues:

    • Hardware incompatibility*.* Make sure that any new hardware that is installed is listed in the
    • Microsoft Windows Marketplace Tested Products List.
    • Faulty device driver or system service*.* A faulty device driver or system service might be
    • responsible for this error. Hardware issues, such as BIOS incompatibilities, memory conflicts,
    • and IRQ conflicts can also generate this error.

    If a driver is listed by name within the bug check message, disable or remove that driver. Disable

    or remove any drivers or services that were recently added. If the error occurs during the startup

    sequence and the system partition is formatted with NTFS file system, you might be able to use Safe

    Mode to rename or delete the faulty driver. If the driver is used as part of the system startup process

    in Safe Mode, you must start the computer by using the Recovery Console to access the file.

    If the problem is associated with Win32k.sys, the source of the error might be a third-party remote

    control program. If such software is installed, you can remove the service by starting the computer

    by using the Recovery Console and then deleting the offending system service file.

    Check the System Log in Event Viewer for additional error messages that might help identify the

    device or driver that is causing bug check 0x7E.

    You can also disable memory caching of the BIOS might to try to resolve the error. You should also

    run hardware diagnostics, especially the memory scanner, that the system manufacturer supplies.

    For more information about these procedures, see the owner's manual for your computer.

    The error that generates this message can occur after the first restart during Windows Setup, or

    after Setup is finished. A possible cause of the error is lack of disk space for installation and system

    BIOS incompatibilities. For problems during Windows installation that are associated with lack of disk

    space, reduce the number of files on the target hard disk drive. Check for and delete any temporary

    files that you do not have to have, Internet cache files, application backup files, and*.chk*files that

    contain saved file fragments from disk scans. You can also use another hard disk drive with more

    free space for the installation. You can resolve BIOS problems by upgrading the system BIOS version.

    ==================================================================

    Look in the Event Viewer to see if anything is reported about those.

    http://www.computerperformance.co.uk/vista/vista\_event\_viewer.htm

    MyEventViewer - Free - a simple alternative to the standard event viewer of Windows.TIP - Options - Advanced Filter allows you to see a time frame instead of the whole file.

    http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/my\_event\_viewer.html


    Also do this so you can see the likely bluescreens.

    Windows Vista automatically restarts if your PC encounters an error that causes it to crash.

    http://www.winvistatips.com/disable-automatic-restart-t84.html


    Here are some methods to possibly fix the blue screen issue. If you could give the Blue Screen

    info that would help. Such as the BCC and the other 4 entries on the lower left. And any other

    error information such as STOP codes and info such as IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL or PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA and similar messages.

    As examples :

    BCCode: 116

    BCP1: 87BC9510

    BCP2: 8C013D80

    BCP3: 00000000

    BCP4: 00000002

    or in this format :

    Stop: 0x00000000 (oxoooooooo oxoooooooo oxooooooooo oxoooooooo)

    tcpip.sys - Address 0x00000000 base at 0x000000000 DateStamp 0x000000000

    This is an excellent tool for posting Blue Screen Error Information

    BlueScreenView scans all your minidump files created during 'blue screen of death' crashes, and displays the information about all crashes in one table - Freehttp://www.nirsoft.net/utils/blue\_screen\_view.html

    Many BlueScreens are caused by old or corrupted drivers, especially video drivers however

    there are other causes.

    You can do these in Safe Mode if needed or from Command Prompt from Vista DVD or

    Recovery Options if your system has that installed by the maker.

    Got the minidump files posted.

    I did a normal BIOS flash from Intel's site, but it didn't seem to help.

    I'm actually installing SP1 right now just in case.

    http://cid-7bf5343dd46cb541.skydrive.live.com/redir.aspx?resid=7BF5343DD46CB541!106

    I should add that the bluetooth works just fine until a reboot, when windows installs some sort of generic driver, which appears to cause the BSOD. Right now, I can connect my phone and transfer files (although I'm reluctant to actually try it ... I generally can figure out those issues pretty quick).

    This one just has me stumped. I've already got a new BT/Wifi card from the pc manufacturer but it didn't do any good.

    Additional info:

    The car is a mobile-computing-solutions ( www.mo-co-so.com ) 525 Mobile PC. http://www.mo-co-so.com/Pre-Bult-Dual-Core-1-8Ghz-Dual-Core-Atom-525-p/mcs-cbs-525.htm with 4GB of memory and the Crucial 64GB SSD options.

    Thanks for the quick replies! The manufacturer has been excellent with customer support but I'm looking for another set of opinions because we're all quite stumped. :)
