BSOD after replacing heatsink

Have you applied thermal paste before re-seating the heatsink?



The latest crash dump included in the zip is of January, so it should not reflect the present issue.

Report us the situation after re-applying the thermal paste.

Ah .. OK!

As it was said earlier, the crash dumps in the zip is months old, so not representing the current issue. If the computer BSODs again, let us see a camera snap of the BSOD screen?

We need to know the bugcheck code at least.

Also, try HWiNFO and report the temps using it. Download and install it, run it as sensors only, scroll down to CPU temps, take a screenshot of the HWiNFO window and upload it here.

Install thermal compound incorrectly can also cause heating problems.

Here is some good information.

What is the new cpu cooler?

Apologies. I collected the dump info with the forum tools, but I guess it's not registering the info for these BSOD's. I've attempted to take a picture of the screen many times, however the screen only lasts for, at most, a couple seconds, before it automatically shuts down. If there's a way to prevent automatic shutdown on a BSOD, I'll be happy to take a picture at the next opportunity.

As for the HWiNFO, here's the CPU temperatures listed.

The new heatsink is a Hyper TX3, applied with Arctic Silver 5 thermal paste. My previous one was an Intel e97378-001.

EDIT: I finally managed to snap a picture of the error at the last possible second before it had rebooted. It's blue screened three times in a row, and may even do so again soon. Here is the error.



Apologies it's not the full error, but I'm lucky I got it at all.

Apologies are not needed. You supplied the data at your best .... it is not any of your fault if the data is incomplete itself.

So there is no doubt that the system is burning.

Layback Bear is subscribed to your thread, ha knows the hardware to the depth and I will request him to comment on the temps.

The BSOD is stop 0x124, which is unavoidable in this situation. Those temps must cause a stop 0x124.

Let us hope that we will be able to cool th system down with Layback Bear's guidance. That is the first and foremost at this moment IMHO.
