Windows 7: Random BSOD 1A, 24, and more

RushPfeiffer · 24 Jun 2012

I'm getting random BSODs all the time. I've gotten 4 in the past 36 hours.

Already Diagnosed:
1. Replaced Motherboard
2. Replaced RAM to fit compatability with my CPU
3. Reinstalled Operating system
4. Downloaded all windows updates and installed SP1
5. Installed and scanned with Malware Bytes (updated)

All suspition lies in the hardware.
By now I suspect it is my CPU, but I need some help diagnosing that before I up and replace my CPU with a new one.

System Specs:
OS Windows 7 Home Premium x64
CPU AMD Phenom II 4x 955 Black Edition
Motherboard ASUS M5A87
Memory 8GB DDR3 10600 1333MHz Corsair Dominator
Graphics Card XFX ATI Radeon HD 5870

Hello RushPfeiffer. First, I will note, your memory is running at 1600 mhz. Please upload the screen shots for the CPU, Motherboard, Memory, and Speed from CPUz.
For your pleasure; AMD Phenom and System Building and Compatibility

All of your .dmps together, point to memory issues. We can try and tweak your memory and see if we can't get it stable, or you can just purchase memory compatible with your processor.

Also, I must direct you to these two posts, http://www.sevenforums.com/crashes-d...ml#post1957527 and http://www.sevenforums.com/crashes-d...ml#post1965049asking about your security software. If you are going to start multiple threads, at least let the person know who was originally helping you. Mike spends a lot of time helping people here. And we are volunteers.

Thank you.

I already bought and replaced RAM to be compatible with my CPU. Some of the DMPs are probobly older ones using RAM that was not compatible with my CPU.

Either way I have BRAND NEW ram with specific compatiability to my CPU and I went into my BIOS and set the RAM to run at 1333MHz. So, no RAM IS NOT my problem. 100% confirmed.

Here is the CPU-Z Screenshots and newer dmps from yesterday and today.

Please navigate to BIOS and make the following changes to the timings;
CL: 7
tRCD: 7
tRP: 7
tRAS: 20
CR: 2t

After making the changes, recheck the system for stability and post back.

Could you give me the actual phrase? I can't seems to find them with all those abbreviations. I only found 1 that I was for sure was correct, the others I'm not sure about abbreviation wise.

James7679 · 26 Jun 2012

CL= CAS Latency
tRCD=RAS to CAS delay
tRP=RAS Precharge
tRAS=Active to Precharge Delay
CR or CMD=Command Rate

Ok so I did as you said and set my RAM as stated and it still gave the same BSOD.

I replaced my video card and uninstalled and reinstalled all my drivers to see if it might fix it.
And now I'm no longer getting 1a BSOD only a 0x0000000A BSOD. It says IRQL is not less than equal or something along those lines at the top.

Go into BIOS and slightly bump up your QPI. If that doesn't work, try bumping up your VCore.

What is QPI, VCore? What do they stand for? And what section might I find them in?
