    Random BSOD on new build


    Have posted previously when the computer was built on an upgrade from XP. I have now built on a fresh HDD and am getting occasional Blue screens. Sometimes when nothing is happening and once when playing a game.

    I have attached the minidump files. If someone could take a look and give me some pointers, that woudl be great

    Many Thanks

    Hi KWack and welcome

    Well fairly obvious these were probably caused by memory corruption. Might also be heat. In any case its not sofware because you had these both under the upgrade and clean install

    download memtestx86 anr run 5 passes. let us know if it passes or if you get any new bsods

    IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL (a)
    An attempt was made to access a pageable (or completely invalid) address at an
    interrupt request level (IRQL) that is too high.  This is usually
    caused by drivers using improper addresses.
    If a kernel debugger is available get the stack backtrace.
    Arguments:
    Arg1: 0000000000000048, memory referenced
    Arg2: 0000000000000002, IRQL
    Arg3: 0000000000000001, bitfield :
        bit 0 : value 0 = read operation, 1 = write operation
        bit 3 : value 0 = not an execute operation, 1 = execute operation (only on chips which support this level of status)

    Hi,

    Thanks for the advice. I downloaded and ran Memtest for over 6 hours in total and had no errors reported.

    I am overclocking the PC and RAM which has never caused any concerns before under XP or Win 7 32bit.

    Should I try lowering the overclock or is there another way to check which RAM module has a problem. The OCZ memory does come with a lifetime warranty if my memory servces me right?

    Cheers

    The most effective way to determine if errors are due to the overclock - is to reset the system to stock values.
    If the errors go away - then the overclock is to blame.

    Additionally, the standard tests are built on the assumption that everything is stable - so it's essential to reset the system to stock values in order to test. OTOH, if you pass Memtest w/the overclock - then it's most likely that RAM isn't the problem.

    So, reset the system to stock values and see if you still get BSOD's. If you do, then try running Driver Verifier (because of the SystemService and the PFN stuff in the stack) using these directions:
    Using Driver Verifier is an iffy proposition. Most times it'll crash and it'll tell you what the driver is. But sometimes it'll crash and won't tell you the driver. Other times it'll crash before you can log in to Windows. If you can't get to Safe Mode, then you'll have to resort to offline editing of the registry to disable Driver Verifier.

    So, I'd suggest that you first backup your stuff and then make sure you've got access to another computer so you can contact us if problems arise. Then make a System Restore point (so you can restore the system using the Vista/Win7 Startup Repair feature).

    Then, here's the procedure:
    - Go to Start and type in "verifier" (without the quotes) and press Enter
    - Select "Create custom settings (for code developers)" and click "Next"
    - Select "Select individual settings from a full list" and click "Next"
    - Select everything EXCEPT FOR "Low Resource Simulation" and click "Next"
    - Select "Select driver names from a list" and click "Next"
    Then select all drivers NOT provided by Microsoft and click "Next"
    - Select "Finish" on the next page.

    Reboot the system and wait for it to crash to the Blue Screen. Continue to use your system normally, and if you know what causes the crash, do that repeatedly. The objective here is to get the system to crash because Driver Verifier is stressing the drivers out.

    Reboot into Windows (after the crash) and turn off Driver Verifier by going back in and selecting "Delete existing settings" on the first page, then locate and zip up the memory dump file and upload it with your next post.

    If you can't get into Windows because it crashes too soon, try it in Safe Mode.
    If you can't get into Safe Mode, try using System Restore from your installation DVD to set the system back to the previous restore point that you created.
    If that doesn't work, post back and we'll have to see about fixing the registry entry off-line.

    This sounds like a bit too much grief??

    I will try running Prime and see how that goes, other than that will lower the overclock and run it for a few days.

    I dont think it is heat as it crashed after about 10 minutes from turning it on
