[Arc]

Do a clean install without norton.

Have you updated your BIOS recently?

BiosVersion = FEh
BiosReleaseDate = 10/29/2014

 

[Quintet2448]

I updated it about 3 months back after I started to get issues with bluescreens, it is the latest bios version, updating didnt make it any better or any worse

 

[Arc]

It is a BETA BIOS.

BETAs are not for sue, but for testing how the advancement is catching up.

Your initial issue was Norton, but you did some undue thing which is difficult to sort out.

 

[Quintet2448]

"BETA describes a new version that is reliable yet may not include all the features of the final product." I read this and thought it would be stable, what would you recommend I do?

 

[Arc]

When it is a stable release, it is not a BETA.

You can try to flash it bask to FD. Then try a clean reinstall without norton. See how it goes.

It would be better to take the assistance of a technician to do a BIOS backflash. The process is high risky, it may brick the board.

I understand what a beta is, however that is exactly what gigabytes website says so I am lead to believe it is stable, I will post back if/when I encounter any more errors.

In software, BETA is the opposite word of stable.

 

[Quintet2448]

Ok, I under stand what a beta is, but this is how gigabyte defines their beta and if they believe it is stable I believe them

Ok since last post I have had another 2 bluescreens, one of them being the dreaded system service exception , you mentioned checking the MB and DIMM slots, should I do that now, or go back to a system restore before norton and revert to the old bios?

 

[Arc]

The crash dumps are pointing to anything and everything, and every one is different.

If RAM is free from errors as the camera snap shows, then it is a motherboard issue, the BETA BIOS may contribute to it upto a big extent, IMHO.

Though all the BSODs are different form each other, two things are common there. Display and storage are failing allover.
And one of these two are a rogue one.

Go to GIGABYTE - Motherboard - Socket AM3+ - GA-990XA-UD3 (rev. 1.x) and update the following drivers.

• AMD Chipset Driver (include chipset \ sata raid driver)
• Etron USB 3.0 Driver

Also, Download Display Driver Uninstaller Download version 14.0.0.0 and NVIDIA DRIVERS GeForce Game Ready Driver WHQL ... save them on your desktop. Disconnect the internet.
Now run DDU to uninstall the installed display driver. When done, uninstall All nvidia items in Control Panel > Programs and features, manually.

• 3D Vision Control Driver
• 3D Vision Driver
• Graphics Driver
• HD Audio Driver
• PhysX
• nvidia Update
• GeForce Experience

Then install the downloaded display driver, not express, but custom install. Uncheck everything other than Display Driver and PhysX. Check a clean install.
Accept all the offered restarts in the process.

Then see how it goes.

If still the haphazard BSODs continue to occur, we have to concentrate on the BIOS thing only.

Ok I reverted back to the latest "stable release" Bios so thats done. I have just updated all of those MB drivers, im rev3.0 just FYI. I am just doing graphic drivers now, will get back to you if another BSOD happens, thanks for all your help !

 

[Arc]

Some of the drivers listed in the MB's site (like realtek LAN) are old.

 

[Quintet2448]

So should I go direct to their website for the latest ones? Do you know if any of the others are old?

 

[Quintet2448]

Since bios restore, driver update and graphic driver reinstall I have had no problems, lets hope this continues , thanks so much to arc and layback bear for all your help, sorry if I seemed rude at some points . Will update after a few days saying it is solved, or when it next bluescreens

 

[Arc]

Lol ... dont be happy so quickly. Wait for at least a week. If it runs stable for at least that long, you may call it as solved.

The chipset and USB3 drivers are OK in motherboard's site. For the LAN driver, go to Realtek ..... get teh second one form the list, that is the Win7 and Server 2008 R2 Auto Installation Program .

 

[Quintet2448]

Looks like I did speak too soon Dumps attached

 

[Quintet2448]

Just a note, I can back and found it stuck on Bios screen (I assumed it had restarted as it was on when I left it) then it bluescreened after I restarted it, the first crash or bluescreen did not leave a log it seems

 

[Quintet2448]

Another bluescreen, dumps attached again
