Gfx slow and then BSOD.

Had my fourth lockup of the day, and decided to start up prime95 and run it until the the computer crashed; two hours later, got a BSOD: "SYSTEM_SERVICE_EXCEPTION".

Will edit in the dump in a couple hours when I get the chance.

Edit: Nope, tried to run the sticky app to get the minidumps, but a quarter of the way through it locked up, and now it's not bootable at all. Just locks up anywhere from instantly to about 30 seconds into the boot process (also had some reboots, some screeching beep noises and a screen with vertical gray and black stripes).

Not good news.

Auto re-boot is usually from a crash and the 'Automatically restart' is enabled.


STOP 0x0000003B: SYSTEM_SERVICE_EXCEPTION
Usual causes: System service, Device driver, graphics driver, ?memory
This indicates that an exception happened while executing a routine that transitions from non-privileged code to privileged code.
Cause: This error has been linked to excessive paged pool usage and may occur due to user-mode graphics drivers crossing over and passing bad data to the kernel code.

Can you get another graphics card to test your system with?


Just did a search and found that you are not alone.

Asus + G.skill combination Crashes
Found the same issues on several sites.
Some of them changed the motherboard for different model or brand, some changed the RAM brand, and had no more crashes.

You can try the RAM in slots A2&B2, or in single channel mode.

Had some OK stability on B1/B2, but not much more than I would expect from a cold boot (was good long enough to run the bsod app). Running on 1 DIMM now and I'm fairly confident that it should run stable, as I did this a while back when one of the DIMMs in the set was faulty and it ran just fine.

Attached is the one minidump I have with all the other crap that it collects.

Edit: Not stable with one DIMM either! Think I'm going to find a set of RAM that I can confirm works with this board and then if it doesn't work I'll return it and use the motherboard I ordered.

All companies produce a lemon at some point, looks that is Asus's.

There were some comments that the RAM was overheating, this may cause motherboard damage.
I would push Asus for a full refund, they have probably given many for that board. If they wanted to do the right thing, they would upgrade everyone of those boards that were RMA'ed. With that and an apology they would have loyal customers.

I would ditch that motherboard before you damage the RAM, CPU (memory controller) along with the board.

Think there were some different RAM brands mentioned in the link above that worked for some people.

This is concerning, all main components are not performing well.
This would fall under a motherboard issue.

That would explain it.

This is an asus motherboard?
If so this is the atk driver you seem to be missing.
