Random BSOD

wizrl said:

Good Evening,

I've been getting BSODs 3 times a day. I think the culprit could be ram. I've swapped out my RAM to times already and i even performed a new installaton of windows. I've been researching the BSOD error messages, but no luck.


Error message: SYSTEM_SERVICE_EXCEPTION 0x0000003b


OS: Windows 7 x64 Professional OEM

Has any experienced a similar issue? Thanks

please upload your .dmp files by following these instructions and we can hopefully glean more information and possibly help identify your driver or hardware issue ?

Forgot to attach the minidump files

what power supply are you using ?

both .dmp files show a 3b error one blaming the NTkernel and the other blaming Steam.exe but neither will be a direct cause.

3b crashes are when an exception happens during a system service , pos Vcore or voltage instability, or I have seen this with avast AV ?

are there any clues in your Reliability History ?

also please download and run CPU-Z select the memory and speed tabs and post the screenies here ?

I think this could be memory voltage settings and I assume it is currently set to auto in the bios ?

If this is the case try setting the voltage manually to 1.5v and monitor for problems ?

power supplies can cause crashes like you are getting so it might be worth trying another to eliminate it as a possibilty, but better to borrow one rather than splash out and buy one ?
