    Ntoskrnl.exe ruining my life! BSOD'ss after every few hours.


    Hi guys,

    I have the current setup:

    AMD Athlon II X4 635 2.9Ghz processor.
    2GB GSkill 1333Mhz RAM. (Had 2*2, 1 have claimed 1 for replacement).
    1TB HDD. (Had 2*1TB, 1 have claimed 1 for replacement).
    Gigabyte 785GMT USB 3.0 Mobo.
    MSI R5770 Hawk GPU.
    Corsair VX450 PSU.

    BSOD errors when viewed in BlueScreenView show the files as ntoskrnl.exe and win32k.sys. The strings are SYSTEM_SERVICE_EXCEPTION, KMODE_EXCEPTION, NTFS_FILE_SYSTEM, BAD_POOL_HEADER and IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL.

    I had 2*2GB Gskill RAM, one of them was corrupt which I have sent for replacement. The other one which I am using has no errors, I checked with Memtest for 10 passes. The 1TB HDD I am using is also new, a fortnight old.

    Have attached the perfmon report and the last 10 BSOD dumps too.

    Hey guys, I understand you might be busy in your daily work, but I guess this topic might have been overlooked by some of you experts. Sorry for bumping again.

    Check your RAM timings and voltage in BIOS. Gigabyte has had a problem lately reporting the incorrect timings in BIOS. Pay close attention. They may show the correct automatic timings but actually be set incorrectly. Physically look at your RAM sticks for the correct timings and enter them manually instead of allowing the BIOS to set them for you. I'm not saying this is your problem but it's something to check. I recently resolved a similar situation on my own machine that had been bothering me for a long time. Even with the most current BIOS for my Gigabyte board!

    Ah, thanks. So finally someone replied here.

    I am currently using AWARD BIOS, so can I go to this page, download any of the BIOS and update it? Or is there any other way it's done?

    When you start your computer you can see the BIOS version during boot. The site you link to is the correct place to get your most current version but simply updating may not solve your problem. Did you build your PC? Do you know how to access your BIOS settings? You need to check your memory settings in your BIOS. They need to match what is written on your memory inside your computer.
