Hi,
I havent got a clue about BSOD's but I hope you can confirm my suspicion that my revodrive 3 2x is playing up.
I already RMA'd my ram assuming ram was the issue - problem persists dailyappreciate any help
Welcome to SevenForums
If you are overclocking any hardware, STOP. Reset any changed values back to default.
Code:DISK_HARDWARE_ERROR: There was error with disk hardwareFollow this:Code:Model ST3120827AS ATA Device Model ATA OCZ-REVODRIVE3 SCSI Disk Device
Please remove Norton/Symantec. Norton tends to cause BSOD-s and causes several other issues. I would recommend uninstalling it with the Norton Removal Tool and replace with Microsoft Security Essentials To Test.Code:Start Menu\Programs\Symantec Endpoint Protection Public:Start Menu\Programs\Symantec Endpoint Protection Public
Microsoft Security Essentials.
Recommended from a strict BSOD perspective, compatibility & stability compared to other antiviruses/internet security software. It is free and lightweight:-
- Microsoft Security Essentials - Free Antivirus for Windows
- Malwarebytes : Malwarebytes Anti-Malware removes malware including viruses, spyware, worms and trojans, plus it protects your computer
- Good and Free system security combination.
- How to Scan Your Computer With Multiple Antivirus Programs - How-To Geek
WarningDo not start the free trial of Malware Bytes; remember to deselect that option when prompted.
Run a full scan with both (separately) once downloaded, installed and updated.
Perform a System File Check:
- Click on the start
- Type CMD on Search
- Left click and Run as Administrator
- Type SFC /scannow
Full tutorial here:
Disk Check on your hard drive for file system errors and bad sectors on it:
Reduce items at start-up. Nothing except anti-virus is required plus improves the time for logging in windows.
Let us know the results.
nope not over clocking, not even in xmp mode :) seems like it could be a number of things (suprise suprise!) but the disk hardware comment is where I will start, I saw the red error light flick on the revodrive at the time of the last few BSOD's.
many thanks - after rma if i still get errors i will come back and sift through the rest. thanks again for looking over it :)
before i rma'd my revodrive, i saw a post about the revodrives overheating near vid cards. i have an asus p8z77-m micro atx and a fermi gpu so i considered this plausable. very basically i shoved an old fan in the bottom of the case on the revodrive and one month on i have not had one more bsod. many thanks again to the people here for helping.
