Random BSODs since installing new SSD

Kapau · 30 Dec 2013

Recently I upgraded my motherboard, cpu and after that my SSD.
I first reinstalled Win7 on a freshly formatted drive and had no problems for a week.
Last week I got a 250GB Samsung 840 EVO and promptly wiped the old HDD and reinstalled on the SSD.
I downloaded a fresh set of drivers from Asus to go with my motherboard until all devices were done in device manager.
Ever since the installation I got random BSODs, so I reinstalled again, did a (windows) memtest that passed without problems and flashed the latest firmware on the SSD.
Everything on my systems seems to be going well, except for the random BSODs.
Since the reinstall I got 2: 1 during playing EVE online and one this morning when I got to the computer after I left it to download a bunch of crap overnight.
Before the latest reinstall on the SSD it crashed randomly during listening to music and browsing the web, once while being idle.
Cant see it on WhoCrashed or in the logs, but the BSOD said Memory Management error.
I've googled around for symptoms similar to mine but none offer much help besides "reinstall windows" and "scan for virusses", which is kind of pointless on a fresh install.

Hi Kapau.

You have Samsung Magician installed. So I think you have updated the firmware to the SSD properly.

Do two things at first. Get rid of intel rapid storage. First uninstall it from Control Panel > Programs and Features. Then Uninstall the driver from device manager.

Right click on "my computer" icon and click "manage" on the context menu.
It will open the "computer management" window.
Select "Device Manager" in the left pane, It will list all the existing devices up.
Expand "IDE ATA/ATAPI controllers" by clicking on the triangle in front of it.
Select one Intel device item under it, right click, uninstall.
Continue the process for all Intel items under "IDE ATA/ATAPI controllers"
Now restart the computer. At restart, windows will auto configure the appropriate native system driver.

Test your RAM modules for possible errors.
How to Test and Diagnose RAM Issues with Memtest86+
Run memtest for at least 8 passes, preferably overnight.

If it start showing errors/red lines, stop testing. A single error is enough to determine that something is going bad there.

Let us know the results. Will decide our next steps after that, seeing those.

IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL (a)
An attempt was made to access a pageable (or completely invalid) address at an
interrupt request level (IRQL) that is too high.  This is usually
caused by drivers using improper addresses.
If a kernel debugger is available get the stack backtrace.

Hey thanks for the fast reply!
I'll get rid of the driver and let the memtest run overnight.
I just made the mistake of running the driver verifier.exe, which caused my system to be unable to start and I had to go do a system restore. I'll post the results of the memtest tomorrow.

Arc · 30 Dec 2013

We may need to run driver verifier later, depending on the situation. It needs some cautions before applying it.

Take your time and do the tests :)

Kapau · 31 Dec 2013

Got up to 6 passes overnight, no errors so far. Ill leave it going till I get back from work.

Is it possible the BSODs are caused somehow by the SSD? I've ran this same setup for a week or two with no problems until I reinstalled to the SSD. Is there a way to check for this?

Kapau · 31 Dec 2013

15 passes, no errors

Arc · 31 Dec 2013

Very good news. So we may conclude that the RAM is undoubtedly good.

Now use the computer normally. We will start troubleshooting again if any further issue occurs.

Kapau · 31 Dec 2013

Had a reboot yesterday while gaming, reboot but no BSOD. When I ran WhoCrashed it said the system hasnt experienced any BSOD's or couldnt find the dump files

Is there a way to run the driver verifier in something like safe mode or from let say a Knoppix boot? Else I'll just post back here when it crashes again.

Arc · 31 Dec 2013

Sometimes games may cause reboots ... if the FPS drops for a certain time.

If everything else runs OK, it is not a big issue to think.

Kapau · 01 Jan 2014

Had another random reboot while watching a youtube vid..
