VIDEO_MEMORY_MANAGEMENT_INTERNAL and NTFS_FILE_SYSTEM BSODs

Question
-
Hello!
I've been getting intermittent BSODs and I was hoping someone could help me identify why. I just recently ran Memtest86+ on each of my RAM modules (separately), both showed no errors on multiple passes. (I would hope so, since I just bought these sticks a few weeks ago).
Recently, I've gotten VIDEO_MEMORY_MANAGEMENT_INTERNAL and NTFS_FILE_SYSTEM BSODs. Here is my MEMORY.dmp and two most recent minidump files:
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/5772230/bsod2/MEMORYDMP_minidumps.zip
And a screenshot of more of my previous crashes (via WhoCrashed):
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/5772230/bsod2/whocrashed.png
Just a note, but I fixed the SYSTEM_SERVICE_EXCEPTION crash by uninstalling a bad third-party driver (thread found here: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/windows/en-US/8d8f7cff-596b-4048-ba89-8ad0354b261c/systemserviceexception-bsod-after-waking-up-from-sleep?forum=w7itproperf)
Let me know what I could do to aid the troubleshooting process. Thanks!

BSOD caused by driver : Ntfs.sys and watchdog.sys
Both of them are fixed by Windows updates.
Are all updates installed?

Is this the same machine in your other thread? I notice the joystick driver is still installed and driver verifier was not enabled. You need to enable verifier and remove the joystick driver.

Hi ZigZag3143x! Yeah same machine. I thought I removed the driver. Strange...
After removing the driver, do I need to keep driver verifier enabled forever? I thought it was more of a troubleshooting program.
Thanks for your help!

It is a trouble shooting program but you are still having trouble. Probably a better idea now to start duplicate thread on the same topic and machine.
Not sure if you ran Memtest, or if you ran a system file check but you should
*
Please run a system file check (SFC)
All instructions are in our Wiki article below...
Should you have any questions please ask us.

ZigZag3143x - I removed the program entirely. Since it was just a piece of a larger program, it kept reinstalling itself.
I started a new thread because I thought this was a new issue and not related to the joystick re-instantiating itself. I'll see if removing the parent program fixes the issue.

ZigZag3143x - I've removed the parent program, but I am still getting a BSOD after waking my computer. Here's my latest MEMORY.DMP: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/5772230/bsod3/MEMORY.zip
I did Memtest86+ and here are my results:
Module 1 (after a few passes of memtest86+): https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/5772230/bsod3/module1.jpg
Module 2 (after a few passes of memtest86+): https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/5772230/bsod3/module2.jpgAnd here are some screenshots of my BIOS settings:

One note to add: I had to change the memory settings in my BIOS because my mobo reads my 1866 memory at 1600. I followed the G-Skill guide here: http://www.gskill.us/forum/showthread.php?t=11742
I will try running SFC and then enabling Driver Verifier.

Repair install was successful, but I got a few BSODs. I'm lacking some windows updates, so I am making my way through those before I say the BSODs are back.
Also, I have a new thread to make sure my memory settings are correct: http://www.tomshardware.com/answers/id-2255464/correct-settings-skill-14900cl9d-8gbxl-gigabyte-990fxa-ud3-mobo.html

Works fine now. Have you run verifier since you dod the re-install? Are you overclocking the CPU? where did you get the win 7 image from?
If this issue has persisted across a clean install (it was a clean install right?) it has to be either hardware, malware or a corrupt OS image.
lets run some hardware stress tests. Furmark for the graphics and Prime 95 for CPU. You have run memtest for how many passes?
Try this free video stress test: http://www.ozone3d.net/benchmarks/fur/
FurMark Setup:
- If you have more than one GPU, select Multi-GPU during setup
- In the Run mode box, select "Stability Test" and "Log GPU Temperature"
Click "Go" to start the test
- Run the test until the GPU temperature maxes out - or until you start having problems (whichever comes first)
- Click "Quit" to exitTry this free stress test: http://www.mersenne.org/freesoft/Prime95 Setup;
- extract the contents of the zip file to a location of your choice
- double click on the executable file
- select "Just stress testing"
- select the "Blend" test. If you've already run MemTest overnight you may want to run the "Small FFTs" test instead.
- "Number of torture test threads to run" should equal the number of CPU's times 2 (if you're using hyperthreading).
The easiest way to figure this out is to go to Task Manager...Performance tab - and see the number of boxes under CPU Usage History
Then run the test for 6 to 24 hours - or until you get errors [b](whichever comes first)
The Test selection box and the stress.txt file describes what components that the program stresses.For malware lets run a malwarebytes scan
Please download the free version of Malwarebytes.
Update it immediately.
Do a full system scan
Let us know the results at the end.

1) I will run the verifier now.
2) I am not overclocking my CPU
3) I bought my Win7 (OEM) image from Newegg.
4) I have run hardware stress tests before:
- http://www.3dmark.com/3dm/3568181
- http://www.3dmark.com/pcm7/843826
5) I ran memtest86+ for ~3 passes each module:
- https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/5772230/bsod3/module1.jpg
- https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/5772230/bsod3/module2.jpg
6) I will try running Prime95 when I have more time (unless 3dmark was enough)
7) A scan of Malwarebytes returned:

4-You may get more specific results if you stress the hardware using prime 95 and furmark, rather than 3D mark
5-Memtest needs at east 8 passes
6-Malwarbytes looks fine.
Fingers crossed on verifier. You can also change the drivers being verified to "all" to force the issue but make sure you have a restore point before you do just in case.

Hi ZigZag,
This computer (OS install) is no older than 2 months old. I'm going to roll back to a previous Restore Point, because my Firewall isn't turning on now.

likely a fresh install of windows is the only way to clean up this mess

Still no dice. After going back to an old restore point, I was still getting the BSODs.
Since I'd tried practically everything, I tried a clean install. But I got another BSOD. The BSOD always comes back after waking the computer from sleep. Could you check out my memory dump and see if it was due to the video card again? https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/5772230/bsod4/8-22-14.zip
After this crash, I rolled back the nvidia driver, so we'll see if that helps. I might just need a new video card.

Both the memory.dmp and the minidump are related to memory corruption (pool corruption) not the video driver. Since this is happening after a clen install I would run memtest to test the memory for at least 8 passes (even if you have run it before) and I would enable driver verifier.
Did you install anything NOT on the install dvd (image) besides the video driver like Malware, or anything else?
These crashes were related to memory corruption (probably caused by a driver).
Please run these tests to verify your memory and find which driver is causing the problem.
If you are overclocking (pushing the components beyond their design) you should revert to default at least until the crashing is solved. If you don't know what it is you probably are not overclocking.
Since it is more likely to be a driver please run verifier first.1-Driver verifier (for complete directions see our wiki here)
If verifier does not find the issue we can move on to this.2-Memtest. (You can read more about running memtest here)
If you cannot boot after enabling verifier reboot into safe modeIn Vista & win 7 (F8)

I really hope its not the memory. I did the three passes on each module before and it showed clean. When I get some time I'll set them to run for 8 passes each.
Here's my latest dump after running verifier: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/5772230/bsod4/8-23-14.zip

Three passes does not stress the memory enough so the results are useless. Memory corruption. You can reduce your upload time by changing the settings in your system control panel to kernel dmp instructions are in the wiki

It looks like you are going to have to swap parts to figure out what is at fault
this is why I like amd, fewer sockets and nonsense, my cpu works on several models of motherboard
Corsair Carbide 300R with TX850V2
Asus M5A99FX PRO R2.0 CFX/SLI
AMD Phenom II 965 C3 Black Edition @ 4.0 GHz
G.SKILL RipjawsX DDR3-2133 8 GB
EVGA GTX 660 Ti FTW Signature 2 (GK104 Kepler)
Asus PA238QR IPS LED HDMI DP 1080p
ST2000DM001 & Windows 8.1 Professional x64

I ran Memtest86+ on my other module too and it passed 8 passed too:
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/5772230/bad_module/IMG_20140902_080050.jpg
One thing I noticed on the second module is the speed/timings are not what they should be. If you look at the above screenshot, you'll notice the speed is DDR3-784 and timings are 4-5-5-15 @ 64-bit. On the first module, the speed/timings are correct.
Seeing this, I tried moving the second module into another memory slot, but the speed/timings still read the same. The strange part was on my BIOS, the speed/timings of the second module read correctly:

Also, after testing the 8 passes on the second module, I started another Memtest86+ on the second module, which resulted in many errors (~46 errors) within a span of a minute. This seems to happen randomly with this module.Tuesday, September 2, 2014 7:26 PM -

Looking like RAM or mobo slot. I would use only the known good stick and try each mobo slot.

Slots are also sensitive to damage as well. Its possible that you may need to get a new motherboard.

ZigZag-
I did some swapping of modules and slots. Here's what I've found:
When I would test my memory on slots 0-1, Memtest86+ would read my memory's speeds/timings correctly: 1866 9-10-9-28. But when I tested the same modules in slots 2-3, I would get half of that: DDR3-784 4-5-5-15.
Slots 0-1: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/5772230/bad_module/IMG_20140901_182529.jpg
Slots 2-3: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/5772230/bad_module/IMG_20140902_080050.jpg
I'm not sure why that's happening, but I do see that CPU-Z is reading my modules correctly, no matter what position they are in.
I have since upped the voltage for my DRAM and CPU VCORE in my BIOS, to see if that helps.
I did see another similar case as mine: http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/id-1926857/memory-slots-speeds.html (He has the same mobo and CPU as me)
I've also written my issues to Gigabyte (mobo) and G Skill (RAM).
I'm running out of ideas here. It seems to be the memory, but I can't figure out exactly what. My last thing I'm going to try is placing both modules in positions 0 and 1, since I'm getting full speed reads from them. Maybe that will help?

Also, I just tried my modules in slots 0-1 and upon waking from sleep, it seemed fine for about 10 minutes (just like before every other BSOD), then it crashed: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/5772230/bad_module/9-3-14.zip
I have no idea what to do at this point. There's no clues pointing to any clear solution here.

Unsure exactly where you are. This has been going on for almost a month. Did you memtest each mobo slot with known good ram? results? did you individually test each stick in a known good mobo slot. Results?
The newest crash was not verified and I suspect irrelevant.
