My first BSOD since i built new system - 0x0000001E

[j4mi3]

I built a new system myself with the following components:

i7 2600k @ 4.5ghz
asus p8p67 deluxe
gskill ripjawsx 16gb 2133mhz @ 2200mhz
asus eah4870 1gb
crucial m4 64gb
wd caviar black 500gb

everything has been running smoothly for approximately 6 months, i have been very pleased with how stable everything is. I have run many stability tests, including prime95 on each of the 3 modes and no errors. In addition, i often am rendering videos or music, and game usually every dya, as i say, perfectly stable. I am aware i have hefty overclocks on both the ram, and cpu, but it has served me perfectly for 6 months so im not sure this is the problem.

Untiil today, i had chrome, itunes, and fsx open and it just happened out of the blue. Id appreciate it if you could look at the dump file im uploading.

EDIT: ok basically i looked where the dump files should be, and its just an empty folder? why is this?

found this on another site maybe it will help.

"STOP 0x0000001E" Error Message During Windows Setup


This behavior can occur if you restart your computer during or after the Windows Setup process, and if any of the following conditions are true:

• There is insufficient disk space on the drive on which you installed Windows.
• There is an outdated or incompatible third-party driver (or drivers) installed on your computer -- for example a faulty video driver.
• There are system BIOS incompatibilities

if you go to the site thay have info on how to fix it.

interesting cheers.

well i have the latest bios, i didnt restart windows during the install, and it didnt list a particular driver in the bsod.

does this mean it has to be insufficient disk space?

as you may have guessed i have the ssd as boot and program drive and the 500gb wd for big programs and storage.

however i vastly underestimated how much i would use on the ssd drive, and i only have 4gb left.

could this have caused the bsod? i wasnt going to put any more programs on the ssd, so i planned for it to stay at 4-5gb free well.. forever.

also does this mean it isnt a hardware issue? like instability in the oc? i really cba to go and fiddle with voltages i was doing that for like a week solid when i set it up

it may have but wait and see what other user have to say first.

overclocking can have alot to do with it. try resetting the bios setting and see if you still get the bsod.

scrooge

well.. yeah but then id be waiting another 6 months, possibly longer. this is the first one i have had in that time. id prefer to keep it overclocked and have 1bsod every 6months than lose that performance.

as i said in the op, i was trying to upload the dump file, but the minidump folder is empty, do you know why this is?

 

[scrooge]

can you please fill in your specs so we can help you more?

scrooge

i listed the specifications of my system in the op. but i will fill them in anyway

 

[scrooge]

sorry forgot that. (lol)

whats your temps like and also if it worked for 6 months maybe bump your vcore voltage up a bit.
don't go to far and keep a eye on your temps.

To get a dmp file in your minidumps folder, follow http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/174459-dump-files-configure-windows-create-bsod.html

Do you have a file in Windows called MEMORY.DMP? It would be too big to upload here, but it may be there. Other reasons why minidumps may not be created: pagefile on another drive (this is most likely since you have an HDD for large programs and user data), pagefile not big enough, minidump folder does not have proper permissions set, and some dumps are due to memory problems and may not be created as a result.

i followed the instructions in your link, and both boxes were ticked

MEMORY.DMP, is there. but it is 700mb.

i dont see why any settings such as the page file would be wrong, it is just a normal windows install just like all the previous times i have installed it and i have been able to find the dumps before

 

[writhziden]

How big is your pagefile? Have you checked the other drives to make sure no pagefiles exist on them?

To check your pagefile: Start Menu->Right Click My Computer->Properties->Advanced System Settings->Under Performance, Settings...->Advanced->Under Virtual Memory, Change...

How many drives are listed in the white box? What is the total paging file size for all drives (currently allocated)?

its 16gb apparently.. its set to let windows automatically manage it. it seems rather a lot.

and yep its on the C drive

Your page file should be as big as your RAM plus 1 MB, so it sounds right. Odd that you are not getting any minidumps... Can you upload MEMORY.dmp to a file sharing host like rapidshare or megauploads? We could take a look at it that way.

 

[writhziden]

Any luck getting your system running more stable? If not, please upload your .dmp files or your MEMORY.dmp to a file sharing host so we can assist you.

Hi, i am pretty sure it was my ssd. you know how they are.

i can live with it tbh, i havent had one since. i was just worried it was something like cpu etc.

if i get another one il come back to this thread with the uploaded dump

thanks anyway

No problem. Glad to hear your system has been stable. And yes, I know how SSD drives are at present. The Intel drives are supposed to be more reliable; some of the Gurus on here swear by them, and I do not think I have seen anyone with an issue due to those. OCZ seems to have the most issues. Get a lot of blue screen related crashes from users with those, and I have read that they are still trying to clean that up and provide better support for them. Don't know about Crucial. Corsair and Intel seem to have the best reviews from what I have read.

I'm think that the filled up SSD could be causing the problems. Can you clean up your SSD, (remove things not needed) and see if that helps. My understanding is when Windows 7 sees so little space left it complains.
