BSOD after mobo / memory upgrade - system freezes - etc
So, let me see. I upgraded my system to an MSI 990FXA-GD80 with GSkill Ripjaws X 16gb 1600 (in 2x8gb sticks that came packaged together so presuming they matched them.) F3-1600CD9-16GXM that GSkill says is compatible with the MSI board. Though the bios only sees it as 1333 when set to auto. No luck unsetting auto and setting the values to what is listed from GSkill, still BSOD errors almost daily and total system freezes that last several minutes that happen every few hours. So I can safely assume that isn't the issue or it's one symptom of a bigger issue. Already did a chkdsk boot up scan of the primary hdd and no errors where found. Did a boot up MemTest86+ test, in one pass no errors. Since I am getting one of two BSOD errors, Kernel InPage Data Error and a Stop 0x000000F4 error, I am pasting the requisite zip file and hope someone can point to what might be the problem. I already reinstalled Windows 7 twice, once after the upgrades and one a week later, already that was about a clean install, in both cases, as one can do, I formatted the partition Windows 7 is installed on before reinstalling Windows 7, didn't fix the problem. Oh! The dmp files in the archive are old, one is from the 17th the other from the 20th, even though according to Control Panel -> System -> Advanced Settings -> Startup & Recovery shows it is set to create a dump file and to not restart automatically. Help?
Update: While waiting, I started a surface scan of the data hdd for good measure. I went into file explorer, right clicked on the drive, properties, tools, scan disk with the surface scan check marked. Mid way though explorer.exe started to eat more and more memory until it was eating over 12gbs, system lag insued and then another (two today) BSOD, this being a Kernel Inpage Data Error (Stop 0x0000007A ). Oddly enough it froze at "Initializing Disk for Crash Dump", waited a good 5 min or so with no change in status so the new upload will have the same old dump files but the rest should, hopefully, be updated.
