overclocking can have alot to do with it. try resetting the bios setting and see if you still get the bsod.

well.. yeah but then id be waiting another 6 months, possibly longer. this is the first one i have had in that time. id prefer to keep it overclocked and have 1bsod every 6months than lose that performance.

as i said in the op, i was trying to upload the dump file, but the minidump folder is empty, do you know why this is?

To get a dmp file in your minidumps folder, follow Dump Files - Configure Windows to Create on BSOD

Do you have a file in Windows called MEMORY.DMP? It would be too big to upload here, but it may be there. Other reasons why minidumps may not be created: pagefile on another drive (this is most likely since you have an HDD for large programs and user data), pagefile not big enough, minidump folder does not have proper permissions set, and some dumps are due to memory problems and may not be created as a result.

i followed the instructions in your link, and both boxes were ticked

MEMORY.DMP, is there. but it is 700mb.

i dont see why any settings such as the page file would be wrong, it is just a normal windows install just like all the previous times i have installed it and i have been able to find the dumps before

How big is your pagefile? Have you checked the other drives to make sure no pagefiles exist on them?

To check your pagefile: Start Menu->Right Click My Computer->Properties->Advanced System Settings->Under Performance, Settings...->Advanced->Under Virtual Memory, Change...

How many drives are listed in the white box? What is the total paging file size for all drives (currently allocated)?

its 16gb apparently.. its set to let windows automatically manage it. it seems rather a lot.

and yep its on the C drive

Your page file should be as big as your RAM plus 1 MB, so it sounds right. Odd that you are not getting any minidumps... Can you upload MEMORY.dmp to a file sharing host like rapidshare or megauploads? We could take a look at it that way.

Any luck getting your system running more stable? If not, please upload your .dmp files or your MEMORY.dmp to a file sharing host so we can assist you. :)

Hi, i am pretty sure it was my ssd. you know how they are.

i can live with it tbh, i havent had one since. i was just worried it was something like cpu etc.

if i get another one il come back to this thread with the uploaded dump

thanks anyway

No problem. Glad to hear your system has been stable. And yes, I know how SSD drives are at present. The Intel drives are supposed to be more reliable; some of the Gurus on here swear by them, and I do not think I have seen anyone with an issue due to those. OCZ seems to have the most issues. Get a lot of blue screen related crashes from users with those, and I have read that they are still trying to clean that up and provide better support for them. Don't know about Crucial. Corsair and Intel seem to have the best reviews from what I have read.
