    BSOD often and totally random. fresh build


    new here, but after a few days i am kind of frustrated and asking for some help.
    this is a fresh build me and my brother put together after my laptop motherboard got a short.
    we are both experienced in building computers, been doing it for around 15 years now. not regularly but every few years or so we each put a new one together. never had issues like this before..
    i am getting bsod at random, the first time was during my chipset installation, right after windows finished installing. i have tested the ram, i have switched out the PSU and i just completely removed and reinstalled the gpu, realtek, and chip drivers and am waiting to see if it returns..

    i am using windows 7 ultimate x64 (cracked) but it is a version/copy we have used for years with no issues on any install or even currently running machine.

    msi a88x-g45 gaming motherboard
    amd a10-7870k radeon r7
    corsair vengeance pro 2x4gb 2400
    seagate 7200rpm 1tb

    i had an older thermaltake tr2 600w in but i replaced it with an evga 850w supernova psu thinking it was that.
    i also had a ati 5770 installed but it is now removed and running the onboard gpu
    .. so here are my .dmps

    thanks for the help in advance, hopefully ive already fixed it but id rather not waste more time waiting for it to happen again.

    Counterfeit installations such as yours contain heavily modified code that causes the installation to behave it unexpected ways. Analyzing BSOD's and determining their causes on these sorts of installations is very unreliable. For this reason, many analysts won't attempt it.

    My recommendation is to install a genuine Windows 7. This will minimize the problems you are experiencing, and make subsequent diagnosis of BSOD's far more reliable. Once you are running a Genuine Windows 7 installation, and are still experiencing BSOD's, we will be happy to help you solve them

    the 7 i run is very stable and even allows updates without issue. it was just a driver issue. something between the gpu, chipset, and realtek. i wiped all my drivers and only installed the amd drivers and its working like a charm.
    maybe when microsoft makes something on par with xp again, or even better osx or linux ill spend some money on their company again. instead they beta test on customers and release unfinished products at your expense.
    if i wasn't an avid gamer i wouldn't touch windows honestly.

    At your expense? The WTP was free. You were advised some features would not work and they wanted feedback for what does not work. You were advised it was Pre-Beta. The information was there before you downloaded it. Nobody made you install it.
