Solved BSOD at random intervals, during different operations.

[Soske]

I've been having BSOD problems for the past four days. This is a new install with a new board and processor. I've tried running memtest86 on all my ram chips individually, as well as in every slot and no errors occurred. I've updated all my drivers. I tried replacing the Killer Network driver with the Atheros driver. I updated my bios. I ran Windows Repair off of the disc. None of these have helped anything.

Specs:
i7-4470k
16gb DDR3 1600 16gb RAM (4x4)
Dual 1tb HDD
Sapphire 7870
Windows 7 Home 64bit
MSI Z87-G45

I'm at a complete loss as to what to do. Any help is appreciated.

[Soske]

Thanks for all the info. I'll go through it and let you know how it works out.

 

[koolkat77]

Take your time. Good Luck.

 

[Soske]

Alright, I went through all the steps. All the stress tests worked fine, no errors or overheating. Updating the Logitech driver however caused my screen to distort and freeze after login, so I uninstalled it in safe mode and for now have a gaming keyboard that I can't use any of the features. All that's left is to let the system run a few days and hope I don't have another bsod. Fingers crossed.

 

[koolkat77]

Thanks.
I'll wait for another update.

 

[Soske]

I had another crash, though this time I didn't get a blue screen. The system froze and both my monitors distorted. When I checked the event log, the only error around that time was an unexpected shut down message, but no clue as to the cause. I re-ran the SF Diagnostic and I'll re-upload it. I have absolutely no clue what caused it.

Edit: Also my games are running really bad now. Previously, when I ran Tomb Raider's benchmark I'd get 45fps, when I just ran it now I got 23fps.

 

[Britton30]

Have you tired uninstalling the Logitech drivers and using a standard keyboard?
How about using Driver sweeper, link in my sig and reinstalling the graphics driver, without CCC if you can live without it.

Are both ends of video cables and connectors tight and seated fully?

 

[koolkat77]

Sounds and looks like a hardware problem.

How To Clear CMOS

 

[Soske]

I already uninstalled the Logitech drivers, and it's now acting a standard usb keyboard (I don't have a different one to test with). I'll give driver sweeper a try. I've been monitoring my CPU and GPU usage and temps, and they've been well within normal standards. At this point I'm highly considering returning the mobo and cpu and going back to AMD.

 

[Britton30]

MSI does not have a stellar record for reliability, but the i7 does.

 

[Soske]

Well, after uninstalling AMD CCC with driver sweeper and reinstalling without CCC, I crashed again after half an hour. The distortion one again, not a BSOD. And while I'm fairly sure it is indeed the MSI board and not the i7, I'm very close to the deadline to be able to return the i7. Plus this is actually the second board I've tried, the first was So because of the return window, and because I feel like being cheap, I'm gonna switch to an FX8350 and hope these issues don't come back, since I never had anything like this with my old 1090t. Thank you for trying to help everyone, I'll recommend this board if anyone I know has issues like this.

 

[Britton30]

Keep us updated. Personally I prefer ASUS for boards and many have good luck with Gigabyte and ASRock.

 

[Soske]

Keep us updated. Personally I prefer ASUS for boards and many have good luck with Gigabyte and ASRock.

I returned the i7 and the board, and bought an FX8350 and an ASUS board (for $100 less than the cost of the just the i7, which was nice). I have them installed and so far, no problems.

 

[DocBrown]

Here is my first FX8350 rig.


http://www.sevenforums.com/overclocking-case-mods/251852-show-us-your-rig-4-a-98.html#post2242513


I have all the parts for the 3rd FX8350. Maybe this weekend.

Enjoy yours

 

[Soske]

Nice rig. So far I've been enjoying mine. I'd post pics if I had a decent camera, but I'll lay down the full specs for the curious:

FX8350
Sapphire 7870
OCZ 850 watt PSU
16gb Gskill DDR3 1600 RAM
ASUS M5A97 R2.0
Dual Samsung 7200 RPM 1TB HDD
AZZA Solano 1000R ATX full case
some cheap DVD-RW drive
RAT 7 mouse
Logitech G19 keyboard

I got such a big PSU since way back when I had a 6850 I was gonna dual card, but that never came to pass. Also I kinda wanna try a mechanical keyboard, but I've never used one and I know there are a few different types, and there's nowhere I can try before I buy.

As for my current setup, the games I tried ran beautifully, including a heavily modded Skyrim. And the reason I went RAT 7 is because I have giant hands and it was the biggest mouse I could find, and it's still too small.

One last newbie question, should I mark this topic as solved? Or would that confuse future forum lookers since I solved the problem by buying completely new parts?

 

[Britton30]

You can mark it solved. People landing here can still benefit from your experience.
