Rebuilt PC with random BSOD occurrences
Dear forum,
after a Windows and Driver update in December (the PC had not been in use for six months, switched off, not moved or tampered with), continuous BSODs ensued, the update also never fully worked. In short: Last week, I updated the BIOS for the first time and re-installed Windows (re-formatting the disks) and drivers from the original DVDs from January 2012 (PC part purchases and build date). I have not updated anything since last week, apart from Windows' own updates. Now, I observe BSODs at random intervals, no matter if I run a software or just switch the PC on and let it sit idle. All I can see is that sometimes, but not always, there are only 12 instead of 16 GB memory installed. I swapped the sticks around and also cleaned the interior of the PC very carefully, to no avail. I have attached the recommended ZIP-file to my post.
Any help is much appreciated!
ps: While typing this post, Windows updated. While it installed updates, another BSOD 0x0000000a IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL raised its ugly head. I have not included the new dump file of that one, because this error was among the three contained in the ZIP file originally attached.
pps: Now nearly continuous BSODs 0x0000000a (3x) or 0x0000001e (8x) and 0x00000124 or 0x00000024. Windows updates eventually completed in between BSODs, also with only one RAM bar, default BIOS, CPU at 38°C, not OC'ed.
ppps: While in safe mode (CoreTemp won't run in safe mode), at stock speed, etc. as mentioned above, running prime95, one worker failed after one hour.
