1. Update the NIC driver - first check MSI Support, their on-line documentation and drivers,

and ask in their forums about any known issues. Then check at both Atheros sites for even

newer versions (see driver update methods below).

BiosVersion = V2.3

BiosReleaseDate = 07/22/2014

SystemManufacturer = MSI

SystemProductName = MS-7821

BaseBoardProduct = Z97-G45 GAMING (MS-7821)

BaseBoardVersion = 1.0

2. Update MBfilt64.sys at MIS and then check Creative for any newer versions.

3. Use ALL the methods in the troubleshooters below.

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

Note using Win Key + X and Win Key + W (to get to Control Panel, Run, and Settings

as needed). Win Key + D calls the desktop and the using Win Key toggles Desktop

and Start Screen.

Translate the Windows 7 methods and use them on Windows 8/8.1.

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.

(also Windows 7 and Windows 8)

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

BCCode: D1     0x000000D1Think Video drivers mainly though it can be others. See the driver section in my generic

bluescreen troubleshooting methods below. BIOS, low level chipset drivers and

antivirus/antispyway/security programs can also cause this.

This is my generic how to for proper driver updates : (update video/display driver and BIOS)

This utility makes it easy to see which versions are loaded : Run DriverView - set VIEW to Hide

Microsoft drivers - update those without Dump in their names. (Also update the BIOS and

low level chipset drivers.)

DriverView - Free - utility displays the list of all device drivers currently loaded on your system.

For each driver in the list, additional useful information is displayed: load address of the driver,

description, version, product name, company that created the driver, and more.

http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/driverview.html

For Drivers check System Maker as fallbacks and Device Maker's which are the most current.

Control Panel - Device Manager - Display Adapter - write down the make and complete model

of your video adapter - double click - Driver's tab - write down the version info. Now click

UPdate Driver (this may not do anything as MS is far behind certifying drivers) - then Right

Click - Uninstall - REBOOT this will refresh the driver stack.

Repeat that for Network - Network Card (NIC), Wifi, Sound, Mouse and Keyboard if 3rd party

with their own software and drivers and any other major device drivers you have.

Now go to System Maker's site (Dell, HP, Toshiba as examples) (as rollback) and then Device

Maker's site (Realtek, Intel, Nvidia, ATI as examples) and get their latest versions. (Look for

BIOS, Chipset and software updates at System Maker's site while there.)

Download - SAVE - go to where you put them - Right Click - RUN AD ADMIN - REBOOT after

each installation.

Always check in Device Manager - Drivers tab to be sure the version you are installing actually

shows up. This is because some drivers rollback before the latest is installed (sound drivers

particularly do this) so install a driver - reboot - check to be sure it is installed and repeat as

needed.

Repeat at Device Makers - BTW at Device Makers DO NOT RUN THEIR SCANNER - check

manually by model.

Manually look at manufacturer's sites for drivers - and Device Maker's sites.

Memory tests do not catch all errors such as mismatched memory (possible even for sticks

that appear to be identical) and when faster memory is placed in system behind slower memory.

So it is best to also swap sticks in and out to check for those even if all memory tests fail to

show a problem.

To test RAM check here - let it run 4+ hours or so.  <-- best methodwww.memtest.org

For the Windows Memory Diagnostic Tool.

WinKEY + W  - type in the Search box ->  Memory - find Memory Diagnostics tool at top

of list - follow the prompts.

After doing ALL the updates you can, and if the issue continues, then run DriverVerifier.

(Remember to use the Windows 8 methods posted at the top of the original reply above.)

Driver Verifier can help find some BSOD issues :

You can disable Driver Verifier

WINKEY + X - RUN - type in -> verifier /reset      hit enter to disable

Use BlueScreenView to see if there is a driver specified in the error message. Also check with

MyEventViewer at the time of the BlueScreen.

If DriverVerifier creates a minidump upload it and post the link here so we can analyze it.

Hope this helps.
