New Build Random BSOD OFTEN!

[qdspaz]

Someone please help me!!! I just spent $1500 on a new build and I'm getting random BSOD's browser crashes all the time. I'm not very good with software at all but I'm decent with hardware. Please help me! Just built it about 1 week ago.

Would the cause of these be incompatible ram? Because I mean it boots up fine most of the time but when I looked it up on corsair for some reason it says my ram isn't compatible with my mobo? Does this make sense?

I wonder if Avast is causing the issue. Please remove it with this tool: http://files.avast.com/files/eng/aswclear5.exe

Replace it with MSE (free): http://www.microsoft.com/security_essentials

If the crashes persist, please enable driver verifier: http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/101379-driver-verifier-enable-disable.html

If the RAM is not under compatible list Run a Hardware Diagnostic (Memory and Hard Drive) follow this link for instructions Hardware Diagnostic !! « Captain Debugger it might showup in the results. RAM incompatibility can cause BSOD.

I did this and it seemed to be working fine and the i tried enabling the driver verifier and I would get a memory crash dump as soon as I booted so I had to go into Safe Mode and then turn it off again. Been working fine all day lets keep our fingers crossed.

 

[Jonathan_King]

Hopefully the anti-virus change did the trick.

Good luck, and let us know if you need anything else!

 

[qdspaz]

Bad news guys.... I've still been getting BSOD's and more stuff. It doesn't seem like the AV did the trick because im still getting BSODS a lot. The ones I've gotten are system_service_exception, bad_pool header(A LOT!), crash dump, page_fault_in_unpaged_area, and special_pool_detected_memory_corruption. Then all my browsers keep crashing all the time. The majority of the time, these BS's are happening during memory intensive things. My steam seems to always not work and randomly log itself out, and when i do try to run a game like Fallout 3, it will say Fallout 3 not working. The other thing is my Anti-virus wont update at all. I don't know why this is... Help.

Upload the latest minidumps from C:\Windows\Minidump please.

Given that your previous BSODs mentioned memory corruption it would be a good idea to run a memtest.

Memtest - Instructions:

Download the ISO (or the .exe for USB drives) from here Memtest86+ - Advanced Memory Diagnostic Tool

Then (if you have chosen the ISO) burn the ISO using IsoRecorder: ISO Recorder v3 Download (How to use IsoRecorder)

Boot from the CD/USB and run the test (at least 7 passes per test) with only one stick of RAM in place at a time.

It is a time consuming process but it is the only way to be sure it isn't a RAM fault.

For your final test, run the test with all the RAM in place.

The RAM has once again been RMA'd. The guy from Corsair said that my RAM was compatible with my mobo. Ran the computer with only one stick for about a week and no problems at all. Hoping to get the RAM tomorrow.

 

[CarlTR6]

Thank you for the update and I hope the new RAM does the trick.

 

[qdspaz]

Yea I know me too. I hate having a beautiful computer just sitting there teasing me because I'm waiting for them to send a new kit of RAM. So I'm going to buy some modding supplies and do some cool things to it and post pictures when I finish.

 

[CarlTR6]

I'm looking forward to seeing the pics.
