First Custom Build....BSOD errors and flickering screen

**axe0** · 13 Nov 2015

The 3 most recent are not loading properly for me, but 1 is a 0x119 which points to graphical issues.
The other 2 are pointing to a write error.

Code:

PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA (50)
Invalid system memory was referenced.  This cannot be protected by try-except,
it must be protected by a Probe.  Typically the address is just plain bad or it
is pointing at freed memory.
Arguments:
Arg1: fffff88006c9bc78, memory referenced.
Arg2: 0000000000000001, value 0 = read operation, 1 = write operation.
Arg3: fffff800030937bc, If non-zero, the instruction address which referenced the bad memory
	address.
Arg4: 0000000000000001, (reserved)

Please uninstall everything of AMD using Display Driver Uninstaller and install new drivers from AMD. Please ONLY install the drivers, using custom/advanced options.

Please test your memory, a write error could mean the memory address was corrupted, not likely but it could.

Diagnostic Test

RAM TEST

Run MemTest86+ to analyse your RAM. MemTest86+ - Test RAM - Windows 7 Forums

Note

MemTest86+ needs to be run for at least 8 passes for conclusive results. Set it running before you go to bed and leave it overnight. We're looking for zero errors here. Even a single error will indicate RAM failure.

Ok, will do.

I have run memtest86 in the past (but not since the most recent BSOD's). Would you like me to still run it?

**axe0** · 13 Nov 2015

Yes please, usually when one runs it it isn't according to the above instructions.

cannoncd · 13 Nov 2015

Ok. I have re-installed the drivers per the instructions above (did so in safe mode, as the DDU recommended).

I am still experiencing the "flickering program windows" issue.

I will run memtest overnight tonight, unless you think it's prudent I should do so immediately.

**axe0** · 13 Nov 2015

I would recommend to run it overnight, unless you don't have to use your pc.

cannoncd · 13 Nov 2015

Will do.

Interesting that it just happened now, but as the screen flickering continued, my monitors (I'm running three) blacked out and I got a notification that my display driver crashed, but had recovered. I have seen this happen a handful of times in the past. Just another data point FYI.

The screen flickering has also stopped.

**axe0** · 13 Nov 2015

Does the flickering also happen when just 1 monitor is connected?

cannoncd · 13 Nov 2015

Since building the computer, it's always had 3 monitors connected (I play a MUD in which multiple screens are very handy).

I can certainly try with just one monitor connected, but the flickering doesn't always happen (I'd say about ~30% of the time).

**axe0** · 13 Nov 2015

Try it with only 1 monitor and see what happens :)

cannoncd · 13 Nov 2015

Alright, will do.

However, the reason I built the system myself was to ensure I had a graphics card that could support 3 monitors (I had fairly minimal requirements elsewhere, so I didn't need to go crazy buying a high end gaming computer).

If the fix ends up being "use only one monitor," what can I do to return to 3 monitors? I imagine the answer might be....buy a new graphics card? Heh.
