Windows 7: BSOD During startup

Dave76 · 26 Sep 2012

Remove your CPU cooler, remove the thermal paste and clean the CPU and cooler with isopropyl alcohol, apply new thermal paste and install the Hyper 212 EVO CPU cooler.
Be sure the cooler is tight, if it's loose it will not cool properly.

Make sure the case wires are tucked out of the way so the system gets good airflow.
Always check the CPU core temps.

Your motherboards IMC is CPU/NB voltage.

Let me know what the CPU core temps are after you replace the thermal paste.
If the temps are good, you can run a stability test.

ive heard multiple ways to put thermal paste on, ive heard put on a bead of paste and spread it around.
iver heard other says put a rice sized bead on and just put it on and it will work itself around.

i did the spread one

That's the way I do mine, just make sure it's a thin layer, too much can be as bad as too little, the trick is to get the right amount applied.

You should apply the paste, attach the cooler, then remove i the cooler and check if the paste is squeezed out on the sides this means you have too much.

This is a good review: Best Thermal Paste Application Methods

Sorry, should have post the info in the last post.

Check your BIOS for the (IMC) CPU/NB voltage and post it here.

You can test the CPU core temps with your most demanding game or run a stability test.

If you want to stress the system you can run OCCT.
OCCT stability checking tool
Run the CPU:OCCT test for at least 30 minutes, be sure to monitor your CPU and GPU temps, don't let the CPU go over 66°C.
Set the time before you start.
When its done, pass or fail, it will make some graphs. Post these here as they are useful for analyses.

Well I installed the hyper 212. Running OCCT at the moment. its been stuck at 57 for a while now.

TekF5ve · 27 Sep 2012

well when the test finished it errored and closed out, it said it saved the results somwhere, but i cant find them. but my cpu averaged 57, would spike 58 if i used chrome and itunes.

ok so
IMC (CPU/NB) Volatage
offset mode
Cpu offset 1.380V
cpu/nb offset 1.237V
cpu vdda 2.496V

Spoke to soon. Getting a plethora of blue screens. new bsod logs included

For the OCCT graphs look in C drive > Users > (User name) > My Documents > OCCT
Post them here if you can find them.

The CPU temps are a little better, you may have too little or too much thermal paste.

Bump your CPU/NB offset to 1.300V.

Run memtest86+ for 7 full passes, with all RAM cards installed.
Best to run overnight as depending on the amount of RAM you have may take several hours.
If you get any errors you can stop the test.
RAM - Test with Memtest86+
If you get any errors with both RAM cards installed, remove one card and test again.
If you get any errors, swap the cards and test again.

Your last five crashes:

I'm a very stubborn human. I reseated my RAM, because i saw misaligned in the BSOD files u posted. and i redid my cpu and your right, way to much thermal paste. and no bsod's yet. i leave for vacatrion for 2 days, so i can't run a full memtest in time. but i will do it when i return,

Dave76 · 29 Sep 2012

Good work with the CPU cooler and RAM, sometimes re-seating the RAM will give good results.

Enjoy your vacation, let us know the results of memtest86+ when you get back.
