BSoD on startup
Hi.
Getting random BSoD's on my (relatively) new build.
Built this rig just after Christmas/early this year with all new parts (other than a second SSD that I have games installed on)
This second SSD is not always being recognised in BIOS at boot up. Now starting to wonder if that has something to do with the crashes.
SSD worked fine in previous system as the primary drive.
Sometimes when it IS recognised in BIOS, the game icon shortcuts do not load correctly and all that is there is the MS default icons. I then get a pop up the same as you would get when inserting a DVD or flash drive/memory stick, giving options as to what you want to do.
The BSoD's happen 100% of the time straight after boot up when everything has been loaded. On reboot, the PC runs great and will play games (Crysis3, BF3 etc.) with no issues.
· Windows 7 Pro x64
· Full retail version
· 2 months since first install
· CPU < 4790K not OC'd
· Memory < Corsair Vengeance Pro 9CL 1866 16Gb
· Video Card < ASUS Strix GTX970
· MotherBoard < MSI Z97 Gaming 3 BIOS 2.0A
· Power Supply < Corsair HX750i
RAM was running at XMP speed initially, so I have tried running it with stock settings & still have the BSoD's,
If any more info is required, let me know.
Thank you.
