Random BSODs. Drivers are up to date and Hardware has gotten the A-OK

GEMdewy,
Glad to be of assistance.

Gem,
You can help us to you by filling in your system specs.

Update your SevenForums System Specs
User CP (located on the top menu bar) |
Your Profile | Edit System Spec (left-hand column)

To gather info, use Speccy (my favorite) or SIW or System Info

In the System Manufacturer Block, enter:
Ø Manufacturer and Model OR Custom build.
Ø ADD the word laptop, desktop, netbook or tablet.
For example:
Toshiba Satellite L305D notebook.

Provide full windows version info, for example:
MS Windows 7 Ultimate SP1 64-bit

Use the “Other Info” block for Optical Reader,
Mouse, touchpad, wifi adapter, speakers, monitor, etc

Scroll down and click on SAVE CHANGES.

With Speccy, you can select with your mouse/touchpad info from the display
and paste that info into your specs.

SIW is a marvelous program, but the free version does not offer
this capability.
=======================================
=======================================

Of the three txt files, I see nothing unusual.

Can you tell me under what circumstances you are still getting BSODs?

Please update your bios. Yours is version F5 and the latest is F9b.

Here's the website page:
GIGABYTE - Motherboard - Socket AM3+ - GA-990FXA-UD3 (rev. 1.0)

I would also like for you to do me a favor as part of my own testing.

I would like for you to upload the MySystem.txt file that this script will put on your desktop.

I've only started looking at one of the two dump files, but I find the error msg unusual.
could you download, install and keep Speccy running in the background?
Speccy is an easy, non-intrusive way of keeping an eye on temps.
Of course, as I've indicated the bios needs to be updated.

I am getting a very strange error message. The same one i've gotten when itried to update it before. Also i am running speccy in the back ground temps are off though says my CPU is running at 11C right now which would be impossible...

Also up loaded my specs directly from speccy if it helps.

thanks the script correctly reported your bios version. Your current version is F5.
That error msg is from a gigabyte bios flash program.

You should be using Qflash from Gigabyte.

Here is a write-up on how to update your bios.

UPDATE GIGABYTE BIOS WITH Q-FLASH

Ø Insert a USB stick (256 mb is more than enough)
Ø WIN + E | right-click on the drive
Ø Format | set FAT32 as the FileSystem | uncheck Quick Format |
Start button | Close button after format finished

Ø WIN + E | right-click on the drive
Ø Properties | Tools tab | Check Now button |
Checkmark both boxes | START button


Ø Go to the Gigabyte website Gigabyte Homepage
Ø Click on Support and Downloads (in the menu at the top)
Ø In the Downloads' Model Name box, enter your motherboard model, for example,GA-Z68X-UD4-B3, click on Search
Ø In the Results section, click on BIOS
Ø You are now at the Downloads page for your motherboard

Ø In the row For the most recent BIOS, in the Download Here column,
select your desired download source, for example, America
Ø Click on the Save button

Ø You have now Downloaded the Bios update file which is a
self-extractor, for example, mb_bios_ga-z68x-ud4-b3_f10.exe
Ø Extract the file (simply run the file you downloaded to extract)
Ø Copy the file with a name like Z68XUD4.F10 to the USB stick.
Ø Leave the USB stick connected.
Ø Shutdown your computer.

Ø Power Up your computer.
Ø Immediately start continuously tapping the END key on the keyboard.
Ø The Main Menu of Q-Flash will appear on the screen.
Ø Select HDD-1.0 and hit ENTER
Ø Select the Bios update file and hit ENTER
Ø Press ENTER when Are you sure to update BIOS? appears.
Ø The monitor will display the update progress.
Ø When the update is finished, press any key.
Ø You are now back at the Main Menu

Ø Remove the USB stick.
Ø Press ESC and then press ENTER to exit Q-Flash.
Ø Your system will reboot.

Ø Immediately start tapping DEL (the Delete key) to enter BIOS
Ø Select Load Optimized Defaults and hit ENTER
Ø Select Save and Exit Bios and press Y

Of course, you use your motherboard designation, which is in the mysystem.txt file: GA-990FXA-UD3

Alright, updated. Thank you again good sir.
