Soon after I build my desktop, which was about a month ago, I started getting BSOD. Since I could still return my components, I returned the MOBO and video card and swapped them for the same products so I think it might not be the MOBO unless its a coincidence that both mobos are faulty.
Ive been getting more BSOD and thought I would update the attachment. Also, I can't get this part of the memtest instructions to work "First and foremost verify that your disk has burned correctly.
Go to My Computer or Finder on a Mac and go to your CD/DVD drive. Make sure the Disk is called Boot. If not then the burn has been unsuccessful. However if it is called Boot your CD is ready to go." The CDs I burned stay as "mt420" and do not boot on startup. hmmm
Hey Richard, I ran memtest on both sticks together for 7 passes and there was no error. Should I still run memtest on individual sticks?
I ran a stick for 9 passes and the other for 11 passes. No errors ):
I ran the CPU test, however, I had to stop it as the temperature of one of my cores was at 66'C and my CPU's Tcase is 67.4'C. Man, they BSODs are stacking up. Getting a lot more of IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL errors on startup recently :/
Hi Richard,
Okay, I ran the test 1 time and it was successful at standard level. Does this narrow it down to HDD/PSU?
Thanks for all the help so far. I really appreciate it!
Go to the website of of your HD manufacturer and test hard drive.
