BSOD Not sure why

As F5ing said, check your firmware version and make sure yours is up to date.


Not sure if you have the rev. 1.3 or rev. 1.0 of your board, but both have the same BIOS updates: GIGABYTE - Motherboard - Socket 1155 - GA-Z68X-UD3H-B3 (rev. 1.0)

I would highly advise updating your BIOS. One of the updates improves stability with OCZ SSDs and my also help with your Intel SSD.


Your EtronXHCI.sys driver for your USB 3.0 ports caused a crash. I would recommend updating the drivers from GIGABYTE - Motherboard - Socket 1155 - GA-Z68X-UD3H-B3 (rev. 1.0) as yours appear to be out of date.


Also, install the Intel® Rapid Storage Technology driver from GIGABYTE - Motherboard - Socket 1155 - GA-Z68X-UD3H-B3 (rev. 1.0). It is the last driver on the list in SATA RAID (I know it is not in RAID, but it is also an AHCI driver).


In general, for an SSD:

• Make sure the following are up to date:
  • SSD firmware
  • BIOS Version
  • Chipset Drivers
  • Hard disk controller drivers/SATA drivers
  • If you have a Marvell IDE ATA/ATAPI device, make sure the drivers are up to date from the Intel site or Marvell site and not from your motherboard/vendor support site.

My SSD was in IDE mode so it couldn't be updated. A ton of stuff just updated installing drivers upon reboot. Then I was able to update the drive and now using Intle's Solid State Driver Toolbox, it auto-updated and actually optimized one setting. Sweet! I guess unless someone's already working on it call this case closed for now!

Great news! Glad to see your problem solved.

No problems since! I can't see writhziden's posts but dude thank you, I did what you said a few days ago and a lot of drivers updated and now? No BSODs yet!!

edit: weird now I can see them. thanks so much!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! MAY KARMA REWARD YOU ALL PLENTIFULLY

Good to hear you're all fixed up!
