I have just assembled a custom PC, with relatively high end specs, and unfortunately Windows (7 x64) is giving me a BSOD whilst performing testing with BurnIn Test. The PC has crashed at least 4 or 5 times since I started testing with BurnIn Test. In addition to attaching the required files for fault finding I have taken the liberty of linking to the following additional information -
Here are two screen captures that represent the error message as shown under Windows -
Following are two files from the 1st BSOD occurrence (both were indicated as additional information within the BSOD message - as shown above).
In an effort to fault find this issue on my own I have changed the graphics card over and tested, however results are comparable, with the same BSOD message being presented.
Thank you very much for your input here. I am using the Samsung 840 EVO Series hard drive, as a result I am wondering where I should update the firmware from (Samsung or directly from Intel - as you originally suggested).
SOLUTION: Use newest drivers from the Gigabyte Site!
Hi Everyone,
I have managed to make this system stable, now at just over 49 hours running BurnIn Test (CPU, RAM & Graphics running at 95%).
Ultimately the issue came back to drivers, I used the drivers supplied on the CD that came with the motherboard, and these were dated as late September (2013).
Screen shot of the CD folders -
I downloaded the most recent drivers from the Gigabyte Site, dated at the 1/10/2013 and everything is working well.
I also noticed on the Gigabyte Site that the F4 BIOS was released on the 5/09/2013 - and in all likelihood it was shortly after this that they updated the relevant driver files.
Lesson here, when playing with high end kit always download drivers from the manufacturers web site (the CD that comes in the box basically belongs in the BIN!).
