BSODs after Fresh Windows 7 Install (new hard drive)
Hey everyone,
I've the same sort of issues with my computer in the past. I thought to rectify some of these by upgrading my hardware (video card, hard drive, psu) and doing a complete re-format and fresh install of windows. I am still having BSODs
The first BSOD occurred while I tried to overclock my CPU through AMD overdrive (understandable). The second was during downloading battlefield 3 through origin while reformatting my old HDD. The third was while transferring files from my external hard-drive back to my re-formatted HDD, simultaneously downloading battlefield 3 through origin.
I believe Windows is still in the process of updating itself (I did Windows update after each restart, but apparently it has not gotten to SP1 yet).
Attached to this post is a .zip including my dmp files and system report. *Note the system report was gathered while I was re-reformatting my old HDD*.
Below is some information about my system specifications.
OS: Windows 7 Professional 64bit
CPU: AMD Athlon II X2 260 Dual-Core Processor (3.2 GHz)
Motherboard: ASUS M4A785-M
Memory: 4GB (2x2GB) OCZ Reaper 240-Pin DDR2 (Model OCZ2RPR800C44GK)
Graphics Card: XFX HD-687A-ZDFC Radeon HD 6870 1GB
Sound Card: Creative SB Audigy 2 ZS
Hard Drive:
1.) OCZ Vertex 3 VTX3-25SAT3-60G 2.5" 60GB SATA III MLC Internal Solid State Drive [only housing windows 7 64-bit OS, origin + battlefield 3 software, and drivers for my hardware]
2.) Western Digital Caviar Black WD6401AALS 640GB 7200 RPM SATA
[for media brought in from backup before reformatting this drive]
PSU: Thermaltake Black Widow TR2 RX 850w modular power supply
The RAM kit I'm using is not listed on the QVL for my motherboard, but is similar to other products on it with regard to cas latency, timing, and voltage. Just thought I'd mention this.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
