Frequent BSOD

Mytolist said:

Yes i did, seems to have fixed the Atikmdag.sys thing since i havent seen it specified in the blues since then

Ok,
I asked because one of the DMP files threw up a Direct X error

Code:

Probably caused by : dxgmms1.sys ( dxgmms1!VIDMM_GLOBAL::ReferenceDmaBuffer+39e )

Were you playing online when it crashed?
Try updating your ethernet driver,won't hurt either way

Code:

Rt64win7 Rt64win7.sys Mon Oct 25 10:33:07 2010 (4CC54ED3)

Ethernet Link

Hopefully we will know more when the memtest is complete.
Did you run driver verifier?

Mytolist said:

yeah i did run the verifier. but didnt BSOD. but then again i just let it run and didnt launch any applications except for chrome

Maybe if the memtest comes back clean we you could try running some games with it on :)

Mytolist said:

I think we are getting close atleast. its taking longer and longer for the system to BSOD now

Slowly but surely :)

You should look at this as a learning experience, with a little BSoD investigation and hardware testing, you will end up with a great system.

Your crashes seem to happen when RAM is being stressed, let us know the memtest86+ results.
This may or may not be the cause but, a quick look at the settings will help to rule out a common cause of this type of BSoD.
Due to the nature of electronics, a memtest86+ full run with no error doesn't mean the settings don't need adjusting.

With a little information we can check some of the settings.

D/L CPUZ and post a snip of the CPU, Mainboard, Memory, and SPD tabs.

Have you been checking your temperatures?

Use Core Temp , to check the CPU temps when at idle, under load and/or testing.
Let us know the minimum and maximum temps you get.

Go to your BIOS and tell us what the CPU, DRAM and the CPU NB (integrated memory controller) voltages are.
The integrated memory controller voltages is the 'CPU-NB Voltage'.
Also tell us the CPU-NB VDD Voltage, just for reference.
