BSOD playing WoW and different BSODs while doing other stuff

[Mangaza]

Hi, thanks for the update .
That's odd, we cleared the CMOS four-weeks ago it should have been defaulted to those settings...
(Post #14).

4 weeks ago was before I changed nearly all of my parts on my computer + reinstalled windows/reformatted. I should be doing the memtest tonight since I will be gone for a bit tomorrow so I'll have an extended window to run the memtest

 

[YoYo155]

Ahh right ! (long gaps ).
That's is even more odd! on a stock fresh motherboard ...
Since you bumped the voltage, did it crash again?

I haven't gotten any bsods since 10/26 and I haven't gotten any crashes since I made voltage what it should be at 1.65v.

Here is a memtest that I ran for 11+ hours: http://i.imgur.com/hVzOebE.jpg

Thanks for the update .
Great news !
Did you do all the usual things you normally do?

Yeah it's the same thing every day basically

 

[YoYo155]

I believe the thread is now solved, do you feel the same?

Yeah but I will reopen this once the problem comes back, and given my past history of problems, it's more than likely I'll have problems in the near future

I would like to think otherwise .
Either way you know where to find us, enjoy your stay.

I had a BSOD today. This time, I had something else open -- blizzcon live stream virtual ticket, got a bsod with the message: pfn_list_corrupt in all caps. Attached is the minidump

This bug check is usually bad drivers although given the stack trace and the history of the PC
I tend towards RAM issues more at the moment.

I checked and your RAM (CMX4GX3M1A1600C9) and it is not listed in the QVL (Qualified Vendor's List)
for that Motherboard (GA-Z87-D3HP).
Your RAM specifications are listed in this webpage - XMS3 4GB DDR3 Memory Module (CMX4GX3M1A1600C9) (Tech Specs).
I can see that the RAM is currently running at 1333MHz, please make sure that the timings and voltages
are correct as well.

In the mean time I can offer you this.

Your crash dumps are not showing any finite probable cause.

Test your RAM modules for possible errors.
How to Test and Diagnose RAM Issues with Memtest86+
Run memtest for at least 8 passes, preferably overnight.

First run it with all the existing/installed RAM modules. If it comes with no error, all is good.

But if it starts showing errors, Stop testing. Errors/red lines means one or more RAM is faulty. But the fault may occur due to a faulty DIMM slot, too, which is a motherboard component. Using memtest86+, you can discriminate between a faulty RAM and a faulty motherboard.

How? Say you have two RAM sticks and two DIMM slots. You obtained errors at the test with all RAM sticks installed. Now, remove all the sticks but one. Test it in all the available slots, one by one. Continue the same procedure for all the available sticks.
How to make the inference that is it a RAM issue or it is a motherboard issue? Suppose you have got the result like that:

test|Slot1|Slot2
RAM1| Error | Error
RAM2|Good|Good

It is a RAM, a bad RAM.

But if you have got a result like that:

test|Slot1|Slot2
RAM1| Error |Good
RAM2| Error |Good

It is a motherboard issue. The particular slot is bad.

If memtest comes free from errors, enable Driver Verifier to monitor the drivers.
Driver Verifier - Enable and Disable
Run Driver Verifier for 24 hours or the occurrence of the next crash, whichever is earlier.

   Information

Why Driver Verifier:
It puts a stress on the drivers, ans so it makes the unstable drivers crash. Hopefully the driver that crashes is recorded in the memory dump.

How Can we know that DV is enabled:
It will make the system bit of slow, laggy.

   Warning

Before enabling DV, make it sure that you have earlier System restore points made in your computer. You can check it easily by using CCleaner looking at Tools > System Restore.

If there is no points, make a System Restore Point manually before enabling DV.

   Tip

• If you fail to get on the Desktop because of DV, Boot into Advanced Boot Options > Safe mode. Disable DV there. Now boot normally again, and try following the instruction of enabling DV again.
• If you cannot boot in Safe mode too, do a System Restore to a point you made earlier.

Let us know the results, with the subsequent crash dumps, if any.

Sorry for the super late response, I went ahead and went into BIOS and I believe I corrected the voltage/speed. I thought I did that 2 weeks ago, apparently not based on what you wrote. I haven't gotten a bsod since the one I got 5 days ago or so.

Does this cpu-z on my ram help determine whether or not I correctly changed my ram settings?: http://i.imgur.com/Bp8vzdi.png

 

[YoYo155]

Yep this pretty much verifies the RAM speeds / settings.
What I'm more concerned about is that the pattern emerging around of a week of stability
and then all of a sudden a bug check occurs, there something different from the the daily usage
case that might trigger the bug checks can you think of such an activity?

Does that mean my RAM is properly set to 1.65v / 1600mhz now based on the cpu-z provided? A week ago when I got the BSOD randomly, I was viewing a web-based flash player for a long period of time, due to a live gaming convention center event which is once a year type thing ... that's the only thing that I did differently that day of the bsod

The only way to know for certain is to look in the BIOS, please provide pictures of the setting listed there.
The dumps, as I stated earlier, it's currently set to 1333MHz so the voltage and speed
needs to be as posted in post #70.

If the settings are correct try to remove two of the sticks and running the system for a week with just one
installed and see how it holds.
Your motherboard might be having a problem with all four (or even less) DIMM-slots populated.

I'll post up a picture sometime this weekend. I got another BSOD randomly tonight, doing the usual stuff - with the BSOD error message: BAD_POOL_HEADER

I attached the minidump.

I've also started having sound driver crashes for WoW, so I'm going to be reinstalling the realtek drivers from their website.

 

[Mangaza]

Another BSOD, 30 mins after my previous BSOD. Had a WoW crash followed by a blue screen with a different error message but my comp rebooted like 1 second after the BSOD message displayed, so I wasn't able to get the error message. Attached is the another minidump for the latest bsod.

Probably a RAM issue... but what I don't get is - if it's a RAM issue, why did I pass memtest?

I went ahead and took pictures of ram voltage from within the bios software, here's a gallery of pictures: http://imgur.com/a/Za1YV#0

 

[Mangaza]

I really don't know why all of the sudden tonight, I start getting bsods frequently again, cause I just got another one. I reinstalled realtek audio drivers in case that was a problem, installed some windows updates, and I just got a irql_not_less_or_equal bsod error message, attached is the minidump.

IF memory is the issue, can you tell me which one of the below ram is compatible with my mobo/cpu and which one is the best to get?: (no errors in memtest though)

Memtest is not perfect, I've seen cases of RAM passing multiple passes only to fail
tests like Prime95.

Did you follow the suggestion of running just two DIMMs?

Please upload following the accepted posting procedure and not just the dump files.

You didn't enable DV eventually, post back and we'll go from there.

The other two options are Normal/Extreme, so the dropdown menu shows Normal/Turbo/Extreme.

I currently have 2/4 ram slots used, so I believe that is two DIMMs. I got another BSOD overnight while I was sleeping.

My CPU has liquid cooling instead of a heatsink/fan. When I'm idling on Windows, my cpu temp is around 30C

I attached the file that I got from running the SF tool

 

[YoYo155]

Hey thanks for the info .
Please set the option to Normal.

Now that I have an updated look of the system, the last dump is all network related (as well as a few from
the earlier latest posts).
Your Intel Ethernet adapter driver is not the latest, along with a possible flipped bit to worry about.

Below we see that rax has a flipped bit (the 7),
usually this spells hardware issues we need to keep an eye on that.
