Hi guys,

Just built a new PC with all the specs in my profile and it suffers from multiple BSODs. I've reformatted the SSD multiple times off a win7pro flashdrive but it just keeps happening.

All the BSODs point to a "typical software driver issue" or RAM issue. It's just a revolving circle! I can't figure out which driver it is even though i've ran the verifier. Chkdsk has no issues, and whocrashed tells me its RAM or some unknown driver.

The dumps are attached, any help would be greatly appreciated!

Have you tried booting with just 1 stick of ram in the #1 slot?

I haven't tried just that, i took two sticks out of the 3 and 4 slots and that seemed to make the system a little more stable. I'll try that when the computer BSODs again in a few minutes.

EDIT:

I should note that i just installed SP1, upon successful installation the computer BSOD'd and gave me a 1000007e.

One stick of ram is currently in the 1st slot.

So does the system boot to the start screen and work then BSOD's?

The system works, boots up, crashes anywhere from 10-30 minutes.

I just installed SP1 and some subsequent updates and it BSOD'd. Gave me an f4.

So i rechecked the reviews for my mobo on newegg, turns out there's a few issues with RAM compatibility. Some 4 x 4 GB setups wont work.

I checked the compatibility list from Gigabyte, and the model of RAM i have isn't "supported".

I say "supported" because the 2 GB, 8 GB, and 16 GB variants are all listed.

Could that be the issue?

I will let someone with more BSOD experience step in but yes ram can be problematic in many ways and it's kind of a case by case thing. You can also number the sticks and try them in different orders in the slots to find a combo that works. As 16gb as I have is tons maybe try combos of two for 8gb total as well. Otherwise provide the crash information as the BSOD team requests and someone can read it for any other details. Good news is if it is the ram you can likely sell the G Skills and try a approved set. That being said my experience with G Skills has been flawless and I hope you can get them to play nice, cause they are great ram !
