Bluescreen randomly happening

McGoo81 · 06 Aug 2011

So...I ran the MEMTest and it came back as no errors, though it was only on a normal none basic setting. Will run an extended pass tonight and start with swapping out my ATI for my nVidia card I have.

Ran the verifier and got a Bsod for:

ksaud.sys ksaud.sys+77fa4 fffff880`074d1000 fffff880`075e9580 0x00118580 0x4b26f352 12/15/2009 2:24:18 AM

again this happened at 8/6/11 around 09:00 pm but on the viewer it says:

080611-18408-01.dmp 8/7/2011 5:07:50 AM DRIVER_VERIFIER_DETECTED_VIOLATION 0x000000c4 00000000`000000f6 00000000`0000027c fffffa80`0950e5b0 fffff880`07548fa4 ksaud.sys ksaud.sys+77fa4 x64 ntoskrnl.exe+7fd00 F:\Windows\Minidump\080611-18408-01.dmp 2 15 7601 274,344

Also added the 4 Bsods I had today alone.

See below attachment for a CPU-ID CPU-Z of my computer

It's easier for us if you just post a snip of the CPUZ tabs.

Post a snip of the CPU, Mainboard, Memory, and SPD tabs.
For posting the information , enter 'Snipping tool' in the Start button > Search box, hit enter. Select the area you want to post and save to a convenient place.

Have you been checking your temperatures?
Use Real Temp , to check the CPU temps when at idle, under load and/or testing.
Let us know the minimum and maximum temps you get.

Go to your BIOS and tell us what the CPU, RAM and North Bridge (NB) voltages are.

McGoo81 · 07 Aug 2011

OK I took some snip's of the requested. Will check BIOS temps and such when I get a moment here in a little bit. The BIOS Version 6.00....was asked to try and find an update for this but was unsuccessful. I found think I found one at the XFX Support page, but I couldn't figure out how to get it to install onto the BIOS. Wouldn't burn to a disc. The Real Temp snip is while I had my file Incinerator running to get rid of about 34.5 GB worth of files that were no longer in use (damn old old games lol).

Update from last night: Took out Video Card and RAM sticks and gave them and their respective slots along with the interior a good air can blow out. Wasnt much dust ect. as I try to do this at least once a month. After replacing RAM sticks the computer seemed more responsive and was able to play my Rift.exe game (the one giving me issues) without a hitch aside from the game itself crashing. Also, removed all my creative labs stuff but couldnt get rid of the ksaud.sys file and a few others for some reason during uninstall process.

Re-downloaded and installed System Mechanic for 30 day trial period (planning on renewing) and ran a bunch of the tools on there ranging from Defrag, memory check, Drive Re-alignment, and a few other performance and diagnostic tools. All in all about 5 hours worth of stuff and still not done yet lol. System seems to be a little more responsive now that most of it has been ran.

Got a new BSOD while tryin out a different game. Re-installed sound, video, and made sure all other drivers were updated.

McGoo81 · 07 Aug 2011

For curiosity reasons I decided to SNIP my task manager with rift running. This is a snip after having the game going for less than 5 minutes.

almost forgot to put my other 3 RAM sticks on so here they are from the SNIP of CPUID.

You can get issues when mixing different brands/timings of RAM, sometimes it takes a while to appear.

When did you install the different RAM?
What was the original RAM?

You have 4 different RAM cards installed, give me a timeline of the installation of the RAM cards.
Crucial 1GB 333MHz
Crucial 1GB 400MHz
OCZ 2GB 400MHz
Corsair 2GB 400MHz

I need this information:
Go to your BIOS and tell us what the CPU, RAM and North Bridge (NB) voltages are.

Just for testing, until I can get the voltage info, take the Crucial 2X1GB and OCZ 2GB RAM cards out.
Run your crash scenario and see if the system is stable.

With more information we can try adjusting the settings and see if the four types of RAM will run stable.
This has a fairly low chance of running stable, but we can give it a try if you want.

CPU FSB - 1.19v
CPU - 1.25
RAM - 1.85v
NB - didnt see this selection
+3.3 - 3.18v
+3.3 dual - 3.20v
+12v - 12.03v (psu shows 15v allowed)
+5 - 4.93v
VBA - 2.92v (think it said VBA penmanship was lacking due to just waking up from nap)

tomorrow I'll take all other RAM out since tonight I'm running full system and drive optimizers.

Dave76 · 08 Aug 2011

Your motherboard manual isn't available anywhere, do you have it?

Need to find the NB voltage, as this will need to be bumped.
Tell me what is under the voltage section, in the manual or in the BIOS.
List everything, they tend to give it different names, just to keep things interesting.

Just found a site that says it's the SPP voltage.
