New PC Build BSOD.
Hi,
first post on these forums which I just discovered thanks to our friends at google.
I've recently had a new computer build: CPU: Intel i7 930, Gigabyte GA-X58A-UD3R MB, 6 GB G-Skill NQ RAM, 1GB ASUS 5870 GPU, Lancool K62, Corsair HX-650 PSU, GSKILL Falcon2 64GB boot drive, Samsung Spinpoint 1TB, Sony DVD, Samsung P2350
The build was completed last weekend and has been running fine, up until yesterday when it was turned on for the first time on several days. As background I did have one stick of RAM which seemed a little suss in that it wasnt detected initially - removed and reseated and it seemed to be fine... until yesterday.
After several minutes (5 or so) - I got a BSOD ... this continued for several reboots with no change - BSOD kicking in after 5 minutes or thereabouts.
finally - I removed the suspect ram and downloaded memtest, created a bootable CD and ran it. This ran with no errors while running for about an hour.. (with the suspect ram reinserted). So rebooted machine into windows and it ran fine for several hours last night in which I ran 3dMark Vantage and PC Mark Vantage to get some benchmark results. CPU cores all seened to be under 40 degress, and GPU running at about 45 degress - Im NOT overclocking.
Anyway - left it for the night, and waited until this morning to fire it up again tp repeat the benchmarking - however it felll over running 3D Mark and then again afterwards. I have attached minidump and associated XML below, as I'm unsure of the next step to diagnosing the problem.
I hope the amalgamated wiseness of this forum can point me in the right direction.
FYI - upon restarting 3dMark gave me the following error:
std: exception
Invalid Index 5260 (5232 available)
