BSOD + Minidumps, please help

alex2005 · 20 Jun 2010

The small FFT's didn't returned any errors even before...

By setting the frequency only manually at 1333Mhz, the rest on auto, I'm not getting errors like that in the minute(10 minutes have passed and still going).

I've posted a topic on OCZ's forum, asking them for help with the issue, since I think it's safe to say it was the memory's fault...

The topic can be found here( Support Question OCZ3P1333LV4GK question. ) if you're interested in what they have to say...

ASACPI.sys   Sun Mar 27 22:30:36 2005

The 2005 version of this driver is a known BSOD cause.
Please visit this link: ASUSTeK Computer Inc.-Support- download_item_mkt
Scroll down to the Utilities category, then scroll down to the "ATK0110 driver for WindowsXP/Vista/Win7 32&64-bit " (it's about the 8th item down).
Download and install it.
Go to C:\Windows\System32\drivers to check and make sure that the ASACPI.sys file is date stamped from 2009 or 2010 (NOT 2005).

Just an FYI this link gives an error from the ASUSTek website. I've tried searching thru there for the drivers but they have a system where you need to input your motherboard model to get a list of drivers. Mine is a P5N-E SLI and it does use the ATK0110 driver however it won't show me the newest one <I.E. 2009/2010> To download under my motherboard info. I had this problem before and I had to go to an outside source to get the latest driver, but I can't remember exactly where I got it from. Sorry.

Asus recently changed the layout of their website - so this link may have suffered because of it.
Just FYI - the ATK0110 Utility Driver (ASACPI.sys) is also present in the Asus AISuite and the Asus PCProbe software. Worst case, I have a copy that I can upload - but it's from the Asus site for my mobo (P6T Deluxe v2). The 2005 and 2004 versions are BSOD causes - but I haven't seen it with the 2006 or 2007 one's. I am sure that the 2009/2010 are OK w/Win7.

Also FYI - the P5 series of motherboards has some issues with RAM and Windows 7. I recommend visiting the RAM manufacturer's website and getting their recommended timings/settings/voltages - and then manually setting them in the BIOS of your system (in other words, DO NOT use the "Auto" setting for RAM on the P5 series of mobo's).

Good luck!
