BSOD Unrecoverable hardware error

[cthomp78]

do u want me to run the extended mem test?

 

[HarriePateman]

Yes please, as im not sure if its RAM related.

If we do all this we can start to rule out possible problems.

 

[cthomp78]

Still on extended memory test 10% overall. Test 1 of 2 at 21% but it's been there about 30 minutes now

 

[HarriePateman]

Okay cancel that, and do a quick one.

 

[cthomp78]

standard test came back normal for memory but it bluescreen after i got back into windows

 

[HarriePateman]

Let me ask one of the guys to have a look im stumped.

 

[cthomp78]

with the voltage fluxing could it be the PSU?

 

[derekimo]

Alright, let's slow this down a bit.

This is the preferred and definitive RAM test it will take a while but it is the gold standard,

   Information

MemTest86+

Run a minimum of 8 passes, preferably overnight, or until errors occur using MemTest86+.

Use this tutorial to help you use MemTest86+:
RAM - Test with MemTest86+

Let's forget about the verifier, and the BIOS.

Report back the results of this test.

As Derek syas mate and maybe have a look at the PSU use this


Using HW Info

You can test the volts on thePSU with HW Info HWiNFO, HWiNFO32/64 -Download < download the rightbit version and close the right hand window select Sensors and scroll down tothe power section where you will see what the volts are doing see my pic.

The original right handwindow shows the machine running and is handy for that but for looking at the components in somedetail close it and use the main left hand side panel

FOR OTHER COMPONENTS

Open each + down into thecomponent itself and then click on it -in the right hand side will appear all sorts of details including brands speedsand other essential info that device. See pic for example.
In my pic it doesn't show what you will se in a desktop so just scroll down that list until you see the rails volts.

im guessing ram is ok

 

[cthomp78]

not sure what im looking to read for voltages, psu is a 825w

 

[ICIT2LOL]

It is the Fintek stuff you have posted and the volts look ok to me so probably not the PSU. I am assuming you have the latest driver for the GPU too??

 

[cthomp78]

Yes I have the latest non beta drivers for my nvidia. I have replaced my video card just incase it was defective.

 

[cthomp78]

bump

 

[cthomp78]

i have just downloaded and tested prime 95 and it will run till test 4 then blue screen and reboot. let me know if this helps

 

[derekimo]

I'll let the hardware guys advise further on those tests, I did notice you were missing quite a few updates though, try getting that taken care of.

Also if you keep having problems just run this tool and post with your next update,

1. Download this file to your desktop or other convenient location,


Download



2. Double click on the file to run it.

3. Locate the .ZIP file created on your desktop, and upload it here in your next reply.

i just finished the updates earlier today. i also found an update on intel site for my x58 chipset so that was updated too. still blue screened later on. I reapplied arctic 5 thermal paste too cause i never replaced it since 2010.

 

[cthomp78]

i took out my 6gb of ram out and put back in my original 3gb of ram and not one bluescreen. not sure y with all the ram tests i ran it never bombed out but i sent it back to gskill and awaiting their test results.
