Reinstall or repair install maybe an option a bit down the line, but not just yet :)
The bloatware is best removed, but was not directly linked to BSOD.
Check your SSD Firmware, see if it is up todate.
And lets see if memtest picks up any errors.

Memtest ran for 12 hours 7 passes 0 errors I noticed though the ram timings were different to bios.
Will try uninstall the bloated software will be on the pc in 20-30mins did you find a driver for the soundcard?
I have Samsung magician installed is the driver amongst that? It's the latest.(checked it says latest firmware)
Thinking of removing the forte and using onboard sound which is good on this board.
Thanks.

Took the forte out, enabled hd audio in onboard section of bios, installed the latest realtek audio drivers on the asus website.
Ok, good news on the memtest, can you elaborate on the RAM timings?
The only driver I could find was from here, but I suspect you have the latest:

As you have removed forte, can you please navigate back to the drivers folder and confirm
if the driver ha20x22k.sys is present or not?
How is the system now you have removed forte?
Cheers

The timings were 15-15-15-31 or around that and triple channel, in bios XMP is enabled which is recommended and sets it to 10-10-10-27-2T i think it could just be memtest not displaying it correctly.
That driver is still there but i put .old on end of it so it's disabled now i think? system seems a lot better just getting blackscreen crashes with flashplayer that seems for sure it's Nvidia related though no bsods so far.(i've only been able to test for about 2-3h though after work yesterday however some bsods could occur often within 20-30mins before)
Should i use Driver Fusion and sweeper again remove Nvidia files then install latest just to test them out? (i do not understand why 314.22 would blackscreen on Flashplayer when in my previous it didn't, all i've upgraded was board/ram/cpu/cooler/ssd before i had i7 920 at 4ghz for 4 years with a gigabyte ud3r and corsair 1600mhz only saw a few bsods overclock related that i soon fixed)
Hi,
Not sure about the timings to be honest. Perhaps just memtest reporting wrong as you say.
If they are correct in the BIOS then they are correct :)
If you renamed ha20x22k.sys to ha20x22k.sys .old it will be disabled...just don't delete it for now.
For Nividia drivers I would suggest the stable 306.23 driver as a test, but I know
your keen on the SLI, so you could try the latest drivers as the BSOD issues may
have been rectified by uninstalling Forte and updating the various drivers, so it may well
be worth a try, just set a system restore point before you attempt it.
Then test the system, use normally, games etc.
If you do experience another Nividia related crash then we need to test with the 306.23
stable drivers, if you crash with the 306.23 drivers then the problem lies elsewhere.
What is the current status of the GPU's BIOS's, are they up-to-date?
cheers
Dave
I will try the latest once on pc tonight if they crash I might just reinstall with all latest drivers and onboard installed this time.
Not sure which bios vers the gpus are as I never have touched and I do not think that will do anything?
Thanks so much for help so far it's a wonderful system once everything sorted.
Ok no worries, fingers crossed :)
Leave the GPU BIOS for the time being, I was just curious as to
what version was installed on each card and if they were up to date.
Good luck.
Metro LL had 6 files failed to validate haha turned out to be 3.5gb worth too! will have to try after work tomorrow otherwise 100% on Sunday, work tired me out today and with the heatwave too.
PC does seem more stable, i downloaded 326.19 betas released only yesterday so hope they turn out good.
Will test for sure after work tomorrow, will report back.
Thanks for all this made me feel better, annoying when you spend a lot on new pc parts and some things can cause crashes.
As i say this i get a bsod....attached it.(might be the latest nvidia driver?)
