Random BSOD on new build - BAD_SYSTEM_CONFIG_INFO
Hey folks,
New to the forum and looking for some help.
I built a new system last week and all was going well with no problems at all until a random BSOD yesterday.
Here's the relevant specs:
Intel Core i5 2500K Retail (no O/C - CPU sits at around 19oC idle)
Gigabyte GA-Z68AP-D3 Z68 Socket 1155 motherboard
Kingston 8GB DDR3 1600MHz HyperX Blu RAM
Asus HD 6770 Graphics Card (no O/C - can't remember temp but it wasn't high)
160GB WD OS drive
1TB Samsung Media Drive
Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit
All drivers are up to date and the only recent change was a Windows Update for MS Office 2007 on Monday night. I let this download and install before letting this PC shut itself down. Then when I turn the PC on for the first time the next day BSOD strikes.
After the crash it wouldn't start normnally so I chose to revert to Last Know Good Configuration and then everything seemed ok again. I ran CCleaner which found and fixed a number of registry entries. I then shut down and powered on the PC a few times and it started up perfectly every time. One thing I did notice that the Office update I had told it to install the night before was listed again, so this time I chose to hide it. I should have really taken a note of the update number but it was called something along the lines of MS Office File Validation.
The only other thing that might be a concern is that I'm using a 6 year old 160GB SATA drive I took from my old Dell as the OS drive. I was planning to buy a SSD tomorrow when I get paid. I've yet to run chkdsk on the HDD or memtest on the RAM but if the BSOD occurs again I'll defintitely do that.
Sorry I don't have the actual files to attach as I 'm at work and didn't know I would need them, however when I get home I will follow the instructions in the Blue Screen of Death (BSOD) Posting Instructions thread and will then update this thread.
I did email myself some of the Bluescreenview and a WhoCrashed report though, so have attached them as text files in case they're any help in the mean time.
Cheers,
Lee
