Hi guys,

I've been plagued with BSODs with my new build and I can't figure out where it comes from. My brand new PSU platimax 1500 died after a couple of days of use so I thought that it might have the cause so I bought an ax1200, still getting random freezes and bsods.

I tested the RAM individually, in different slots and on my old rig, they are all fine.

I tried with only one graphic card, tested each of them individually on the new and old rig, they all work perfectly.

Ran Prime95 on my CPU, no pbs there.

I'm down to the MB which I really don't know how to test. I wanted to buy a new one but the seller said to make certain that it isn't a drivers conflict before RMA and I think that he might be right. The PC crashes on Idle or while I'm using it, it's totally random. Sometimes it takes 5 hours, other times every 10 minutes.

I noticed two things though:

- I couldn't get it to crash on a fresh install of windows, with nothing else installed
- I can't run memtest86, the memtest screen at boot flashes for a sec and it reboots, flashes again and reboots over and over. I ran memtest86 on my current RAM on my old rig though, couldn't find any problems.

I'm getting insane guys :(

Specs:

MB: ASUS RIVE
CPU: i7-3960x
GPU: 3 x GTX580 (SLI not activated -> BSOD when I try)
RAM: 4 x 4GB Ripjawz 1866
HDD: Vertex 3 240GB
OS: Windows 7 Ultimate 64bits
The whole lot is water cooled so no temp problem.

I'm attaching the zip as instructed (jcgriff2 and html file)

It is a pity you couldn't get Memtest to run for 5 to 6 passes.

If you are overclocking anything reset to default before running the test below.
In other words STOP!!!

Read the below very carefully...

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 "Special Pool", "Force Pending I/O Requests" and "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. If it doesn't crash for you, then let it run for at least 36 hours of continuous operation (an estimate on my part).

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:
Code:
Delete these registry keys to stop Driver Verifier from loading (works in XP, Vista, Win7):
        HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Memory Management\VerifyDrivers
        HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Memory Management\VerifyDriverLevel
Using Driver Verifier to identify issues with Windows drivers for advanced users

Ok, I'll try and get back to you.

I ran memtest 5 or 6 times on each ram on my old PC, no pbs found. And I haven't overclocked yet.

I'm also attaching a new dump file because I had quite a few BSODs since the first post :(

Oh and I stressed the cpu in safe mode for 5 hours, no pbs

None of these appear to have been run with verifier enabled. Please type verifier /query and tell us what drivers are being verified.



Now one constant through most of your crashes there has been one of two Asus drivers as the active thread when the crash occurred.


They are Related to atkexComSvc.exe from ASUSTeK Computer Inc.

and Related to AsIO.sys System service from ASUS..



I would update ALL Asus drivers to the most current version available.

I am unsure because I am not at my computer but if you are overclocking stop.

Thanks for the info, i'm going to download all the drivers from the asus site now.

Only in the last post have I attached the files with verifier activated

Edit: I already have the latest drivers :(

I did like you described in your post. Although only the latest dump files that I've uploaded were made with verifier running.

I have installed the latest audio drivers and now I can't boot into normal mode with verifier running at all.

I'm attaching the dump file relative to the latest BSOD with verifier running.

The latest drivers are installed from asus, latest BIOS too.

Oh and i tried the verifier /query bit, doesn't seem to work in safe mode

Welcome to Seven Forums.

Always a good Idea to install new drivers from the Asus Motherboard website, also to update the UEFI BIOS(1101).

When you get a crash on a new build it's a good idea to take a close look at the hardware and it's settings in BIOS.

Can you download CPUZ and post a snip of the CPU, Mainboard, Memory, and SPD tabs.
For posting the information , enter 'Snipping tool' in the Start button > Search box, hit enter. Select the area you want to post and save to a convenient place. Then post the screen shot in your next post, use this tutorial to do it.
How to Post a Screenshot in Seven Forums

With this information we can make better suggestions to find the cause of the crashes.

It is good that the RAM passed memtest86+ on another system, at least we know that the individual RAM cards are good.
You need to test it on your new build, if/when it is stable enough.

For now, take out two of your RAM cards, this will leave you with 2X4GB RAM. Check your motherboard manual for the correct RAM slots to use with two RAM cards, eight RAM slots is a lot to choose from.
Two RAM cards need to go in Dimm B1 and Dimm D1.
Your system may still not run stable with this amount of RAM.

Go to your UEFI and tell us what the first four RAM timings are set to, and the RAM frequency.
Also, what the DRAM and CPU IMC (Integrated Memory Controller) voltages are set at.

You may need to take out two of your graphics cards, try running it with one card until we can get it stable.

Did you check/update the Vertex 3 SSD firmware?

You have had 19 crashes today.
Your time setting must be off they are all dated 29 Jan 2012.

The last four crashes.
None of these are Driver Verifier caused, meaning the Driver Verifier is not set to run.

STOP 0x0000000A: IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL
Usual causes: Kernel mode driver, System Service, BIOS, Windows, Virus scanner, Backup tool, compatibility
Cause:
This bug check is issued if paged memory (or invalid memory) is accessed when the IRQL is too high.
The error that generates this bug check usually occurs after the installation of a faulty device driver, system service, or BIOS.
Code:

*******************************************************************************

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: 0000000000004b02, memory referenced
Arg2: 0000000000000002, IRQL
Arg3: 0000000000000001, bitfield :

*******************************************************************************

DRIVER_PORTION_MUST_BE_NONPAGED (d3)
When possible, the guilty driver's name (Unicode string) is printed on
the bugcheck screen and saved in KiBugCheckDriver.
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 marking code or data as pageable when it should be
marked nonpaged.
If kernel debugger is available get stack backtrace.
Arguments:

This is indicating a CPU issue, could be motherboard also.
I would get Driver Verifier running first to see if it identifies any bad drivers.

HI, thanks for the welcome :)

The BIOS has already been updated to 1101

The CPUZ screenshots are attached.

I can't boot into memtest on this system for some reason. It boots, past the post and i can see the memtest screen for a split second and it reboots by itself and enters a never ending loop or reboots after the post.

Ok, I'll check those and will remove two ram sticks.

I,m running with only one graphic card at the moment.

The vertex 3 firmware has been updated to the latest.

This is indicating a CPU issue.

I don't get it, I stressed it for hours in safe mode, no crashes nothing ... Could it be a faulty CPU causing all those BSODs? I was about to change the MB but now I'm not so sure anymore.

I have AIDA64 installed, do you need some info from there?

Edit: I am stress testing the CPU with prime95 right now, nothing. Seems to be working just fine.

RAM Timing: 11 11 11 28
RAM frequency 1600Mhz
DRAM and CPU IMC set to auto

I did run verifier but the pc didn't crash any faster at all. I got the same BSODs that the one that I'm getting right now, without verifier.

Set everything, CPU, RAM, Graphics, all to stock settings, no OC'ing until the system is stable.

If memtest86+ can't even start, I would call that a RAM error.
Try re-burning to DVD, or if you are running it from a USB memory stick, re-download and re-install memtest86+. Just to be sure it's not corrupted.

Still have only two RAM cards installed and one graphics card.

The relaxed RAM timings should help them run stable.
Make the following RAM timing changes in the UEFI.
Change the tRAS to 30, that is the 4th setting. Will be 11-11-11-30.
Command Rate to 2T.
Save and exit UEFI.

Post the DRAM and VTT CPU (Integrated Memory Controller) voltage from UEFI.

The last crash dump files you posted after you enabled Driver Verifier, are not showing "Driver Verifier Enabled" dump files.
They actually say they are 'Driver Verifier' induced crashes, your dump files did not say that.
This means the Driver Verifier was not enabled.

From JMH post #2.
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 "Special Pool", "Force Pending I/O Requests" and "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.

I would run Driver Verifier to check for any bad drivers before RMA'ing the CPU or motherboard.


Run the Intel Processor Diagnostic Tool.
What is the Intel® Processor Diagnostic Tool?
Download the latest 64 bit version of the application (diagnostic tool) and/or supporting documentation:

You can tell if verifier is running and what drivers it is looking at by typing verifier /query. If it returns none it isnt looking at anything.


Follow the instructions carefully and if you need help dont hesitate to ask. Either JMH or I are on almost 24x7


It is probably a good idea to do one procedure at a time so your results will be valid.
