BSOD during any system intensive programs.
My computer will give me various BSODs whenever I run anything intensive. Sometimes programs will begin crashing left and right just before the BSOD. Running a screen recording program (XSplit) for anywhere around 5-20 minutes will result in a BSOD, especially while playing a game at the same time. For a while I could play smaller games like League of Legends and Minecraft just fine, but recently it started BSODing during those as well. I am now running on a fresh install of windows with only a few programs installed to recreate the BSODs.
Fixes I have attempted:
- uninstalled and reinstalled three different versions of Nvidia WHQL Drivers
- uninstalled and reinstalled Realtek HD audio driver (BSOD with and without it)
- uninstalled Lachesis Mouse Driver (Driver verifier claimed it was causing BSOD)
- uninstalled Avast Anti-virus
- ran Ccleaner to clean up registry
- ran Chkdsk /f
- ran SFC /scannow
- ran Driver Verifier
- attempted windows repair from boot CD (said there was nothing to repair)
- ran the windows memory test ( 4 advanced passes overnight)
- updated motherboard BIOS to most recent version (1.14)
- changed BIOS timings and settings listed by manufacturer for RAM
- changed BIOS timings and settings to DEFAULT
- reformatted hard drive, fresh install of Windows 7
- installed newest versions of motherboard drivers from manufacturer website
- replaced EVGA 560Ti video card with with a Galaxy 8800GT from a stable computer, still got BSODs
- replaced both memory DIMMS with others from a stable computer, still got BSODs
It may also be worth mentioning that CPU-Z reports my video card's link width running at 8x rather than 16x. Adjusting the voltage to NB_PCI-E in the BIOS had no effect on this and I haven't been able to figure out how to get it up to 16x.
System:
MSI 890FXA-GD70 motherboard
AMD Phenom II 1100T Black Edition 6-core CPU
EVGA Nvidia 560Ti (free performance boost 1GB edition)
Patriot PGV38G1333ELK RAM (2x4gb, 1333mhz, 9-9-9-24)
