Random BSOD and various problems - hardware issues?

Hello everyone,

I recently built a new computer, which worked fine for some time (a couple of days I think), then started having a few problems:

• BSOD at start, after login (most common)
• slower performance
• firefox crashes
• graphic crashes (the screen freezes on a distorted image)
• odd noise when playing a specific video (the intro of Rome 2 Total war) that came from somewhere inside of the case...

Here are my specs:

Case: Fractal Design Define R4 Pearl Black
CPU: Intel Core i5-3570k (3.4 GHz)
GPU : VTX3D Radeon HD 7950 OC X-Edition, 3 Go
MB: MSI Z77A-G45
Memory:it Kit Dual Channel DDR3 Crucial Ballistix Sport, 2 x 4 Go, PC3-12800, CAS 9
SSD: SSD Samsung Série 840 EVO, 250 Go, SATA III
HDD: Western Digital Caviar Blue, 1 To
PWR: Super Flower Golden Green, 550W
Heatsink: Noctua NH-U14S

Memtest hasn't found anything after 8 passes, drive check came out with no responses, same with my antivirus (Avira). Note that most crashes happen on start.


I do have a suspect: the GPU came with a default that didn't allow me to firmly fix it to the case. The connection is a little twisted outwards and it sort of half-hangs into the air. I disconnected it and put it back, and now things are worse and my problems more diverse - I originally had only BSODs.
You will find crash dump reports down below.

Do you think this could be a hardware issue? Could I ask the manufacturer for a replacement?

Thank you in advance for your help.

From your own analysis, Avira seems to be the cause of the problem. Uninstall it and replace with MSE.

I suggest you upload the actually .dmp files so I can interrogate them better. Use this:

1. Download this .BAT file to your desktop

Download


2. Right-click the .BAT file and 'Run as Administrator'
3. Locate the .ZIP file created on your desktop, and upload it here in your next reply.

Hi, sorry, I hadn't seen that first thread with the posting instructions!

Here is my analysis. Experienced two freezes this morning on start, no blue screen, just a messed up window.

Please confirm that Avira is uninstalled, then when it BSODs again, post the latest dmp file
