Recurrent BSODs (KMODE, IRQL, SYSTEM SERVICE EXCEPTION) on new build
So I built a new pc on June the 2nd.
Specs:
CPU intel i5 4670 3.4ghz
Mobo Asus Z87-k
RAM 16gb corsair vengeance low profile ddr3 1600mhz CL9 1.5v
GFX MSI GTX 770 2gb
PSU Corsair TX650w (From OLD system)
Soundcard Creative Soundblaster Xtreme Gamer (From OLD system)
Storage 1tb and 640gb WD Caviar Black HDD (From OLD system)
OS: Win 7 SP1 fresh install
So here's a quick time line
build pc the first time; two faulty RAM slots that won't POST and turns out RAM is 1.65v which is technically not recommended so swapped for one above which is the recommended 1.5v for haswell cpus (further reading on this says 1.65v should work fine but trying to maximise compatibility here). Motherboard replaced as faulty. Problems were recurrent BSODs after and during fresh install of windows 7 of the KMODE_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLEd, IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL and SYSTEM_SERVICE_EXCEPTION with bluescreenviewer citing ntoskrnl.exe as the culprit (which it isn't). Memtest was clear over 12 passes. Hard drive diagnostics checked out perfectly.
Received the replacement gear and rebuilt but still got the same problems. RAM slots tested fine, Memtest is clear over 8 passes. Tried without sound card, still BSODs. Without graphics card, still BSODs. BSODs occur when idling, when trying to install drivers or when trying to install windows occasionally.
My current thoughts are it must be the only other component I haven't tested since I dont have another socket 1150 motherboard - the CPU. Kind of at my wit's end since I've tried the latest drivers, latest windows updates but it still bluescreens.
So what's everyone's take on this? The temps are fine by the way, this isn't overheating.
Minidump files attached.
Cheers.
