Multiple BSOD - Fresh PC Build

Hi guys! Been fighting with some issues on my freshly assembled PC. I've gotten a TON of BSOD that I haven't been able to track the cause of myself. The operating system is Windows 7 x64 that's only about a week old with only essentials installed. All drivers/programs up to date.

System Specs:

Mobo: AsRock 970DE3/U3S3 ATX
Processor: AMD FX 8120 -8 Core Black Edition
Memory: 8GB Crucial 1600
O/S: Windows 7 Ultimate 64Bit
Graphics: Zotac Nvidia 9600GT 512 GDDR3
H/D: Western Digital Caviar GP 1TB IntelliPower SATA 3.0Gb/s
P/S: 600Watt OZC Stealth xStream

I've compiled all my dump files HERE for viewing.

Rather new to these issues, and was hoping to find the problem myself but I'm at a loss. I've not really been able to 'force' a BSOD or find anything that exacerbates the problem. It just seems to be more common when launching a program. Not generally when idling or doing small tasks.

Here's a shot of the multiple BSOD's I've seen. The most common one I see is memory management, which I see multiple times a day at least.

Hi.

Most of the dumps come with Bugcheck 1A (Memory management).

Are the ram speed/clocks the same? Have you tried adjusting them?

Try that and take memtest in the following manner:

Take memtest. Run for 8 passes and test each stick in a know good slot for an additional 6 passes.

• RAM - Test with Memtest86+
• Guide to using Memtest86+ - Geeks to Go Forums

The goal is to test all the RAM sticks and all the motherboard slots.

Check your motherboard manual to ensure the RAM sticks are in the recommended motherboard slots. Some motherboards have very specific slots required for the number of RAM sticks installed.

If you get errors, stop the test and continue with the next step.

1. Remove all but one stick of RAM from your computer (this will be RAM stick #1), and run Memtest86 again, for 7 passes.
Be sure to note the RAM stick, use a piece of tape with a number, and note the motherboard slot.
If this stick passes the test then go to step #3.

2. If RAM stick #1 has errors, repeat the test with RAM stick #2 in the same motherboard slot.
If RAM stick #2 passes, this indicates that RAM stick #1 may be bad. If you want to be absolutely sure, re-test RAM stick #1 in another known good slot.
If RAM stick #2 has errors, this indicates another possible bad RAM stick, a possible motherboard slot failure or inadequate settings.
3. Test the next stick of RAM (stick #2) in the next motherboard slot.
If this RAM stick has errors repeat step #2 using a known good stick if possible, or another stick.
If this RAM stick has no errors and both sticks failed in slot#1, test RAM stick #1 in this slot.
4. If you find a stick that passes the test, test it in all the other motherboard slots.

If Part 2 testing shows errors, and all tests in Part 3 show errors, you will need to test the RAM sticks in another computer and/or test other RAM in your computer to identify the problem.

In this way, you can identify whether it is a bad stick of RAM, a bad motherboard, or incompatibility between the sticks.

Errors are sometimes found after 8 passes.
Do this test overnight, before going to bed.

How many sticks are you testing with? One or all?

Yeah well both those bug check/codes have memory listed in usual causes..Let us know how it went.

Great news thank you.

I'd say take a week before marking as solved.

In this between, do some ram intensive tasks and report how things went :) Good luck.

The ram errors may be most, if not all, of your problem. The tutorial RAM - Test with Memtest86+ explains what to do. Start with step 3. Run the test for 7 passes or until you have errors. If you have an error show up, you can stop the test. I realize this is a long tedious process, but this is the best test we have, and many of us, including me, have been through it. I have been through it on a couple of occasions, but this is the most reliable way to determine if it is bad memory or bad dimm slots on the motherboard.

Basically, you are trying to find 1 stick that passes, then run that stick in all dim slots. If it passes in 3 slots and fails in 1 slot, that is an indication of a bad dim slot. When you run the test, if an error shows up, you can stop the test there, that stick has failed. Also, please download and install CPUz. Run it and post screenshots of the memory tab and the SPD tab. If you are running just 2 sticks on the spd tab you may have to select another slot.
