Fresh Build - Constant BSOD - Multiple Codes - 3b, 50, a
Hi All,
After my last rig decided to stop working I decided to build a new one and start fresh. Would randomly turn off (not BSOD) and take multiple tries to turn back on
My new rig is based off a PCGamer build, so I know components should work well together:
OS: Windows 7 Ultimate x64
CPU: Intel Core i5-2500K @ 3.30Ghz
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-Z68AP-D3 Intel Z68
Memory: 2x Corsair 4GB Dual Channel Corsair DDR3 for Intel Core i5
Graphics Card(s): GeForce 8800 GT (waiting on Sapphire Video Card Radeon HD)
Sound Card: Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi XtremeGamer Fatal1ty Pro 7.1
Monitor(s) Displays: Gateway 21" Monitor and output to TVHard Drives: Western Digital WD1002FAEX 1TB Caviar Black - 7200 RPM, 64MB, SATA 6Gbs
PSU: Ultra X4 750 Watt Modular PSUCase: COOLER MASTER COSMOS 1000 RC-1000-KSN1-GP
Cooling: 4- 120MM Case Farns plus stock Intel CPU Cooler
This issue seems to be isolated to the Win 7 itself.
I kept my previous Hard Drives and was able to boot up XP and it was 100% stable. Loaded up my Win7-64 install and nothing my BSOD dumps. Hardware was no different.
So I decided to buy a new hard drive, and start completely from scratch with a fresh drive, fresh Win7 Install and everything. The only 4 parts above that are "old" are the Original Case, Monitor, Graphics Card (as the one I ordered hasn't shown up yet) and the SoundBlaster Audio Card
The rest of the items are 100% new, fresh out of the box.
I have run the Win 7 Memory Diagnostic Test and it gave a clean bill of health.
I installed Win7 this morning and in the last 2 hours I have had 5 dumps. Any help is much appreciated. I am working on uploading the zip, but since it crashes so often, it is being troublesome to pull down the exe and run it. Submitting this thread from laptop while I try to get the info from the main computer.
