Hi guys ... great to be on the show today ... long-time reader, first-time poster ...

Just built a new (partially) system. Bought a new mobo / cpu / RAM. Clean install of Win7x64. Started getting BSODs almost immediately. Ran ALL windows updates. Memtest86+ (no errors on passes -- did get a wonky screen after about 6 hours on one of my sticks, but I heard that happens on occasion. Haven't tried to repeat, yet.)

Been trying to resolve this for about 36 hours now, to no effect. Lots of research on the internet and these forums but so far no luck.

I could be playing a game (Steam - Skyrim) or just browsing, or running a system check. Generally comes up Stop 109.

Brand new mobo / CPU / RAM, running Win7x64 ultimate

System specs:
Mobo: GA-z68AP-D3
Intel i2500k
8GB (2x4GB) Vengence RAM
Vertex 2 SSD - 60GB boot drive
Western Digital 750GB data drive

Attaching latest .dmp files.

thanks in advance for all the help. Would live to find out it's an easy swap out (like CPU or RAM) or even something went wonky in the Win7 install, so I just need to re-install. (Haven't done that much installing, yet.)

Thanks!
-Jon

Don't see any attached dumps, unless you're working on that. Also, I don't know what you mean by "wonky screen" :P, but ANY errors in Memtest are a no-no.

My mistake ... I didn't follow the steps for posting the .dmp files properly. I'll update this evening when I'm home from work.

Almost everyone is memory corruption. Since you already ran memtest, I would like you to enable driver verifier - http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/101379-driver-verifier-enable-disable.html

But first, do these things:

Thanks, mgorman87. I updated the video driver last night, when I realized it was out of date. Still BSOD this morning. Just uninstalled all the Gigabyte software, and now using DriverVerifier as instructed.

Testing it all out to see how it goes.

Ran driver verifier, never had a response from it ... not sure what I was supposed to see?

I just ran memtest for another 3 hours, 5 passes, with both sticks in, and not a bit of error anywhere. Wondering if I should leave it running over night tonight.

Next question: could it be an incompatibility between the memory modules and the motherboard? The Vengeance RAM is made for the Sandy Bridge chipset, but it's not on the motherboard's qualified memory list.

Funny you mention that, I have Vengeance memory as well. Wondering the same thing myself.

Hi -

Seeing bugchecks 0x109 (kernel corruption) + 0x24 (ntfs file system) + exception code 0xc0000005 (memory access violation), I would suggest you look at your Vertex 2 SSD - 60GB boot drive as the possible culprit here.

Check OCZ support site for firmware upgrade. Some OPs have reported success.

If BSODs persist, disconnect SSD; install Windows 7 onto HDD and see if BSODs persist. If not - RMA the SSD.

Also - if you were running memtest86+ one stick at a time, alternating the slots and one stick tested bad - it is likely bad regardless if you can replicate the failure or not. Remove the bad stick; RMA the RAM if possible.

Regards. . .

If it turns out to be the RAM, the easy part would be to swap it out. No need to pull disassemble, re-cable, all the time consuming stuff that comes with a new motherboard. Also no need to re-install the OS. Seems like a smart move.

On the other hand, I really wanted an Asus mobo instead of this Gigabyte, so the question would be: do I do the easy thing and swap the RAM, or do what I *really* want to do, and swap the mobo, even though that means another 3 hours or so of work? I'll probably swap the mobo. :) But first, looking for any additional insight on those dmp files.

That might be the ticket ... I borrowed a spare drive from work, and so far the install is going smooth and no blue screens. It's early yet, and i don't want to make any assumptions until I've set everything up (all updates, install Steam, play skyrim, run applications in the background, and all the other goodies.)

But I'm hopeful.

Best case scenario, I just need to re-install Windows, as the extra software Gigabyte gave me was problematic, and I think I even installed it before all the device drivers (bad on me).

Worst case scenario, it's my justification for going out and purchasing a 120GB Crucial m4. :)

Hi -

Glad to hear install with different HDD (or SSD..?) is going well so far.

When you reach Desktop, allow Windows Updates to come in -

www.update.microsoft.com

Check Device Manager for red/ yellow flags; update video, audio, networking, other device drivers if needed. Install apps and use the system.

Run Driver Verifier - http://www.sysnative.com/0x1/Driver_Verifier.htm

If your BSODs are software related, Driver Verifier can help by subjecting 3rd party drivers to a variety of stresses and tests to find improper behavior. Driver Verifier monitors kernel-mode drivers to detect illegal actions that might corrupt the system.

If Driver Verifier detects a violation, it will flag (disable) the offending driver and force a BSOD.

Regards. . .

Thanks, folks. The HDD didn't have a problem at all, after about 12 hours or more of steady usage ... downloading, running video and audio loops, games running in the background, and all sort of other stuff. I even ran Prime95 for a couple hours. No issues.

So, I'm going to backup the couple of installs on my SSD and do a total disk wipe (OCZ has some specific software for that) and re-install the OS. I've already updated the firmware. I'm hopeful.

And, as I said earlier ... worst-case scenario is I go out and buy myself a new 120GB SSD. :)

Keeping this open until I'm certain the problem is solved, though.

Thanks again for all the help,

-Jon

So, interestingly enough ... just attaching my SSD as a data drive (so I could secure wipe it) started causing BSOD's ... at least I think that was the cause. Still got error code 109, but it was literally within minutes of my connecting the drive.

I now highly suspect the SSD has a major issue. Here's the latest .dmp files, as well as perf mon report. Hoping someone can confirm.

Hi -

2 dumps were bugcheck 0x109 = kernel corruption

The 3rd - 0x24 (0x1904fb,,,) naming ntfs.sys as probable cause

The 1st parm 0x1904fb translates to exception 0xc0000005 = memory access violation; could be referring to physical or virtual memory

That is a system restore point probably located on the SSD which still had the prior install of Windows on it.

I suggest that you keep the SSD away from the system for a while and see if it BSODs with just the SATA HDD. If it does - test the RAM.

So, my dreams were dashed. I got a little more than a day out of the machine, and thought I was in the clear. Then about 30 minutes ago I had a small series of dumps. Looks like the same thing to me, but I can't be certain.

After I post this, I'm doing some serious memtest runs.

Okay! I think I've got proof that it's a RAM failure ... memtest is still running (it says) but after only 1 pass on the second stick (the first stick went 4+ hours untouched) I've got a lot of "\2u and a couple of weird symbols, and they repeat to cover most of the screen.

Now I have to go run the same tests in the other DIMM slots, to ensure it's not a bad board instead of bad memory ...

Okay, marking this thing as fixed. Swapped the mobo and RAM for new pairs, and all seems to work fine. Even the SSD isn't failing.

Thanks for all the help, folks!
