    Random and very frequent BSOD on a fresh Windows 7


    Hi everyone, as of three days ago I was getting constant BSOD on my Windows 8, so I wiped the harddrive and installed Windows 7 instead. When I installed Windows 7, I got the BSOD again at random time intervals and it was very frequent. Do note that I had literally no programs on my Windows 7 when it first got a BSOD, and now the only program I have on my Windows 7 is Google Chrome and I still get BSOD randomly and frequently.

    I've attached my SF file, please let me know what the issue is.

    Thank you very much in advance! :)

    Welcome to SevenForums.
    Code:
    !sysinfo cpuspeed
    CPUID:        "Intel(R) Core(TM) i7 CPU       X 990  @ 3.47GHz"
    MaxSpeed:     3470
    CurrentSpeed: 3475
    If you are overclocking any hardware, STOP. Reset any changed values back to default.

    Upload a screenshot of your hard disk using CrystalDiskInfo:

    Make a hard drive test from the hard drive manufacturers website:

    Run Disk Check on your hard disk for file system errors and bad sectors on it:

    Hard drive test both short and long with:

    Also the DOS version of:

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


    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.
       Information
    Errors are sometimes found after 8 passes.

       Tip
    Do this test overnight, before going to bed.

    Let us know the results.
