So I just got back from my vacation and I'm still experiencing these BSOD.
So to recap, I've done the following:
I've reinstalled Windows
I've bought new RAM
I've switched sockets for the RAM
I've bought a new SSD
I've switched SATA cable
I've scanned the memory several times without finding anything wrong
So what could it be? The SATA ports?
I need this to end now, so do you think my best bet would be to buy a new motherboard?
To save me recapping right back did I ask you to check for "dry joints" where the USB ports are attached to the board?? see pics
I need to open her up and have a look, but I'm guessing that I will need to remove the entire motherboard in order to check for dry joints, right?
In the meantime, here's the latest BSOD I got this morning while watching youtube:
Well yes it is probably going to have to taken out because of the back panel and USB sockets form behind.
Now on the BSOD I think Laith might be onto something here take a look at this.
Blue screen with this error code: KERNEL_DATA_INPAGE_ERROR, - Microsoft Community
I think the chkdsk stuff is worth a try the / p switch I have never used only the / f / r and in all reality the /f switch you can leave out if need be. Disk Check because there is no reference to the /p switch here but have seen it in some old links referring to parameters??
You can read off the results with this anyway Check Disk (chkdsk) - Read Event Viewer Log
If that doesn't work, i suggest you running the CD that came with your boot SSD.
I have my doubts about the SDD being the culprit as I got the same crashes with my old SSD.
Replacing it was the first thing I tried. But like someone mentioned earlier, it could be a SATA port, maybe?
None the less, I'm going to give disk check a try tonight.
Should I run it via the Command prompt or through windows?
I'm not sure what you mean with /p /f /r switch though.
Meanwhile, here are two more BSOD I got today.
I ran Chkdsk through the command prompt, no errors.
This morning I plugged the SSD into a different SATA port and I haven't seen a BSOD since.
It's early to say, but I'm really hoping this is it!
If I am to replace the motherboard I will need to buy a new CPU as well as the one I'm using has a 1156 socket which modern motherboards don't come with.
