    I'm getting every type of BSOD's out there...


    Specs:
    Win 7 64 bit (Full Retail)
    ASRock 970 Extreme3
    AMD Phenom II X4 965T (BE)
    G.Skill Sniper 8GB RAM
    EVGA GTX 560 TI (SC)
    CM Hyper Evo 212 CPU Cooler
    1 TB Seagate Barracuda
    Corsair 650w HX Professional Series
    ASUS CD/DVD Drive


    Started getting intermittent BSOD's after a few days with my new rig that I built a week back. I'm getting all these random types of BSOD's and I don't know what I need to do... All my drivers are up to date and I can't seem to do anything about it. I haven't got down to reformatting my computer/re-installing Win7 because I do not know how! I really need help on this... It was running fine for a day or two then all these crashes start happening... Please help!!!

    sean,
    I'm not a bsod analysis expert, but:
    Update your bios,
    update the driver for the chipset on your mobo,
    fetch, install other drivers from the mfg's website.

    When you buy a mobo, nearly always the bios and drivers are already out-of-date.
    The engineering dept is always pressured to release before testing and mods are complete.

    What do you mean by the mfg's website? Sorry, I am a computer novice!!

    I mean go to the website of the manufacturer of your motherboard.

    I forget at times that some of the abbreviations are not known, although:
    Google is your friend.

    Haven't had a BSOD for a few hours now! (Knock on wood!!!) >.< I haven't updated the chipset (could not find one even with Google) but everything feels good so far!! Hope it stays like this as long as it possibly can... :S

    glad to hear no bsods.

    Your updates must be fetched from the website of the motherboard manufacturer.

    I imagine the latest chipset drivers are included in AMD all in 1 driver ver:12.3

    AMD Chipset Drivers may also help (only download the chipset drivers, not the RAID).
