Installed New Intel 730 480GB SSD. BSOD
Hey,
Any help would be appreciated in this matter. I installed a new intel 730 480gb SSD and after a clean install of windows I've been repeatedly getting BSODs. The usual codes are ndis.sys, win32k.sys, ntskrnl.sys. At first I thought it was a sound card issue (I use asus xonar dx) and I actually reverted from the latest drivers to unified drivers from 2011 and that seemed to fix the crashing for about 6 hrs, but the errors came back nonetheless.
Some interesting notes are that my friend who bought the Intel 730 SSD at the same time as me, let me borrow his to to run on my computer. I installed windows on his ssd w/ my system and the same errors occurred. So it makes me really believe its not a SSD issue as much as it is a hardware/installation drivers issue.
I did notice when I'm watching streamers on twitch.tv is when the crashes begin to occur. I tried updating my nvidia drivers / realtek networking drivers and whatever else. I've done the memtest86 with zero errors and I've also ran verifier.exe and the cpu test which all came back negative for errors. At this point I am really out of ideas and any help would be truly appreciated.
