BSOD while idling/under minimal load or gaming - ntoskrnl.exe
I finished my new system build about a week ago, and for so long I've been getting these annoying BSODs and freezes. They can happen under load or they happen during idle/during opening browser. Sometimes my system won't go to bluescreen, but it freezes completely. I've tried pretty much everything in the BIOS (even defaults), no good. Sometimes my system can be stable for hours, sometimes crash follows another. Currently I even dropped my memory clocks below specified values (i.e. slowed them down). BIOS is updated to the latest version.
While Asus GPU Tweak was installed, I got many more freezes, so I uninstalled that. Windows own memory check found nothing (I know, I should run memtest86+ for countless hours to make sure no memory problems).
Also Intel's built-in graphics is currently disabled, because I suspected it might be part of the problem. During freezing Aero sometimes switches off, display goes black for a second etc. Those things lead me to believe that Intel HD Graphics 4000 might be the reason.
- x86 (32-bit) or x64 ? x64
- an OEM or full retail version? OEM, Windows 7 Home Premium, version: 6.1.7601 Service Pack 1 build 7601
- What is the age of system (hardware)? see my system specs
- What is the age of OS installation? One week old installation
I have zero ideas what to try next but to reinstall or start eating my MOBO
Thanks in advance if someone cares to take a look at my memory dumbs.
