BSOD while computer is under load 0x0000000a & 0x00000050
Hello,
I had recently installed a new HDD, CPU + heat sink and graphic card on my computer and since I experience multiple BSODs while playing games or doing CPU stress tests. The BSODs error code are generally related to IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL or PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA (here a link to my most recent minidump files: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/kttars4un...-Djc8E7Aa?dl=0). It happens every 5 minutes or after one or two days.
I noticed that if I unplug the PSU for about 5 minutes and re-plug it the problem seems to disappear for several hours and then come back (which seems very strange to me).
The problem doesn't seems to be heat related because my cpu temperatures stays bellow 70C while stress testing which I think is normal for my processor.
The problem seems to be related to the PSU or to a faulty driver.
SPECS:
- Alienware Aurora R1
- MOBO: Intel X58 MicroATX LGA1366
- OS: Windows 7 64bit
- RAM: 12GB (3x4gb) DDR3 1333Mhz
- GPU: 1.5 GB asus Dcuii GTX 580
- CPU: i7 920 OC @2.66 Ghz 1.1v (40C idle, 72C Max)
- HEATSINK: cooler master hyper vortex plus
- PSU: Alienware stock PSU (875W)
- HDD: Seagate Barracuda 1TB 7200RPM (ST1000DM003)
Here's a list of the steps I went through since my problem begin:
- Clean re-installing windows 7 OS
- Clean installation of the most recent nvidia drivers (347.52)
- 7 passes of memtest on each of my memory sticks (no errors)
- Prime95 and OCC stress test (I quickly get BSODs BUT if I unplug and re-plug the PSU the stress tests can run for more than 8 hours without any BSOD)
- I tried seatools for windows to look for HDD errors (no errors)
- I have updated to the newest drivers available on dell website.
- Unfortunatly I dont have any spare working CPU or PSU to swap with the current ones to see if it is a hardware related issue.
I am beginning to be out of ideas on how I could find a solution to my problem so any advice would be really appreciated.
Thank you,
