BSOD on new build - Increasing memory volts stabilised for 12 hours
Hi all,
Well i've come here in desperation because i've tried every common sense solution off my own back and come up with nothing.
I built my pc exactly a week ago, and after the first couple of days i started getting infrequent bsod screens. I tried googling codes, installing different drivers(first using revo uninstaller), changed my antivirus from avast to microsoft security essentials, used the "whocrashed" program, tested some basic bios settings, and mildly increased ram volts(with some short lived success).
I'm currently in the proccess of testing ram modules individually out of each available ram slot, i've tried one and it passed memtest86+ 7 times over, and i'm just about to try it in the other ram slot....then repeat the process with the 2nd ram module.
The BSOD happens when idle on desktop as much as it happens when doing anything specific. It sometimes happens within minutes of booting windows, sometimes it takes an hour, and when i tried upping the default memory volts from 1.5v to 1.53v it lasted over 12 hours, including completing an initial 6 hours of prime 95 testing, and then after being idle for another 6 hours it BSOD.
The temporary increase in stability when the voltage change happened, makes me think ram modules, but i'll see what memtest86+ comes up with.
Meanwhile i'm really hoping some knowledgeable fellow on here might spot something very obvious software related in the dumps.:)
Any help will be very much appreciated.
I'll edit my post with dumps very shortly as per the forum guide.
