Bsod - Any Clue?

Thx for the replies!

Will update this post until I get all the pics & data needed... Will do as much as possible today!


When I increased my Dram volt/QPI volt it was with only a tiny bit. Memory voltage I increased to 1.56v from 1.50v originally. And QPI to 1.2v with 1.1v originally. But yesterday when all the bsods appeared I put them back to auto. (Loaded optimized defaults to see if it would make any difference to the current Bsods.)

(My RAM-memmory is specified at 1.65v @1600Mhz, but in bios they currently are on 1.5v @1333Mhz. I can activate XMP to get them on 1600Mhz, but that also effects my bclk to 160 (133 standard) mhz while the multiplier goes down to 18x which gets my cpu to 2.88ghz. Tested that once but got temperatures like 50C idle on my CPU so i loaded the default settings.)



# Posted the cpu-z pics




# Temps:
Idle: 29-35c.
Load: 42-49.



# Chkdsk:
Have completed chkdsk on both of my harddrives now, none of them had any errors according to chkdsk. Was able to find the logfile for my second hdd, but not the system harddrive. How can that be? But is there any use to paste the logs here if there were no errors?


# Memtest:
Ran memtest for 10 hrs - 15 pass total... No errors!"
Settings: Auto voltage, auto timings (9-9-9-24) & cmd rate 1.

You're welcome, good information.

The temps look good, a bit concerning about the temps when you set the RAM at 1600, leave it at 1333 for now.

No need to post the Chkdsk logs as long as there are no errors.

Good job on the DRAM & QPI voltage increase, best to keep them at small increaments, especially the QPI, for future reference max is 1.2V.
You must keep the voltage difference between the DRAM and the QPI no more than 0.5v, this is due to the integrated memory controller.

Manually set the first four RAM timings to the SPD recommended 1333MHz, of 9-9-9-24 and change the 'Command Rate' to 2. Leave the rest on Auto.

Then, run memtest86+ as per the tutorial:

How to Test and Diagnose RAM Issues with Memtest86+

Be sure to run for 7 passes, run overnight if possible. Note any errors and post here.
You can stop the test if you get any errors.

If you get errors, then proceed as per Part 3 of the tutorial.
This is important, you need to be sure you test for bad RAM cards and bad motherboard slots.

If you get errors you can stop the test and let us know the results.

Next step, if required, will be to set the QPI voltage to 1.2v and the DRAM voltage to 1.56v and run memtest86+ again.

Did you run Memtest from a cold boot? If not, try that.

You are right about the cmd rate, when set at 2 it will help if you're having stability problems.

Tell us the RAM timing settings and voltages when it passed the memtest86+, just for confirmation.
1333MHz, of 9-9-9-24 and the 'Command Rate' to 2, is this correct?
DRAM 1.5v and QPI 1.1v, correct?
Also confirm if you have set the RAM timings manually, voltages manually.
This issue has been attributed at least partially due to auto settings, set the above manually.

Run memtest86+ at the cold boot scenario, this is important.
This will help to pinpoint the cause, sometimes this can be fixed by adjusting the settings. If that doesn't do it then you need to RMA the RAM.
If you end up returning the RAM, be sure to get RAM from your motherboard compatible list.

Let us know the results from the cold boot memtest86+.

What you are saying is that you think it is possibly a power supply problem - and that could be. Power supply do weird things cause all sorts of varied symptoms.
