Random BSOD - Fresh install, fresh system

[ManOwar2]

check all memory settings in the Bios make sure voltages are correct and check timings also check your CPU voltage if possible please install CPUZ CPUID and post screen shots of your CPU and ram settings

I will do when I come back from work HAve to go. Thanks for your assistance too !!!

I still have not run the memtest. I'm not too confident doing that myself for some reasons, I will wait someone to help me.

if you can manage to burn the ISO then run it from boot the rest is automated , It won't damage anything and the worst that can happen is it throws up errors which you will see , I reckon if you take your time you won't have a problem and it is really important we eliminate the RAM as a potential problem as soon as possible

 

[ManOwar2]

I would just like to know what does my Scandisk result gave ?

Is there anything wrong ? :/ hope my drive is not faulty !!!!!!

Memtest will come soon, no worry. Again, your help is more than appreciated. I will also post CPU-Z result in around 1 hour when I leave the job.

thanks

 

[ManOwar2]

Here are my result for CPU-Z.

You will notice that even thought I turned off IntelSpeed step, my CPU clock keep going down from 1600 to 2400 as soon as the cpu is being used. (in some way I guess)

Hope this can help you...


I must add that for the last 52 hours my pc has been running non-stop doing multitasking, gaming, video on hdtv and lot of things that require more juice from the whole system, and everything has been stale so far...guess it didnt liked that nvidia driver...I also noticed a video hardware error in the problem monitor/problem history list, that I did not noticed before, prior to the series of the blue screen. You guys think it might be linked ?

 

[computersplus]

checked over CPUZ results I don't see anything that that should be an issue it very well could have been the video card driver causing trouble

The more I read on the net and the more I think it is probably the case. Just went on nvidia forum people talking about windows 7 x64 and thoses drivers...BSOD...BSOD...

I think I have found my answers...still memtest to come...I'll post result as soon as I have a chance. Thanks for your assistance.

This forum is wonderful. You guys are awesome.

 

[computersplus]

there seems to be way more issues with 64 Bit in general

 

[ManOwar2]

Can anyone tell me if my scandisk report that I posted in a .rar file is saying something important ?

 

[ManOwar2]

Well. After four days of full use without any BSOD... I closed me cpu 4 hours, then opened it to play MW2 , played around 1 hour, suddenlly another of those BS BSOD.

Here is the dump file. I guess there is still a problem with my system. Memtest result will be posted tomorrow at 9:45 pm new-york time.

Thanks for your help to all.

Memtest 86 v3.4 result.

I did 5 full pass without error on memtest 86 v3.4. (the 3.5 would not start for some reasons.)

During the 6th pass, when I woke up, it suddenly found 269 errors during the test number 7. I took pictures wiith me digital camera and then closed it.

Does this mean my ram is fault ?

A strange thing is at some point during the analysis process, it would test ram range from 4096 b to 4884 mb, but I have only 4096 mb...

What do I need to do now. :/ Thoses errors happenned when they were testing the first 2 gig.

 

[computersplus]

put in one stick at a time and run test till yo find the faulty stick

 

[ManOwar2]

Do not matter to me wich one is faulty.

If this is a garantee that my ram is faulty, this memtest 3.4,

I will buy new one and get refund for that one.

Please confirm to me that this test result mean my ram is faulty...and not another component :/

 

[Pauly]

Could also be MB (but most likely ram) check each stick seperately to see if only one gives you a prob and find a good stick and try it in all MB slots to check they are all ok

 

[computersplus]

like Pauly said could be a board issue but most likely it's ram the only way to know for sure is to check one stick at a time until you find one that puts up errors

 

[ManOwar2]

I do not think I have the time or the patience to test every single one. I will buy new ram, return that one and I will try... I have until the 29 of january for them to receive the unit back for a refund so I wont take achance. If this is the mobo fault after, I will need to deal with ASUS wich is going to be easier than dealing with g.skill who didnt answered my after 5 days of requests...

Do you guys think it can be incompatiblity problem ?

I must mention thant when we built the system in the first place...My bro did a mistake and and plugged a PCI express pin in the 4-^pin mobo for the power. The system would not open of course...it showed power in the mobo but nothing would open.

Do you think it could have damaged something related to the ram ? We we're thinking it would probably not damaged anything since nothing opened up and then everything worked fines...

I'm not sure what do to do, except changing the ram...

 

[computersplus]

that depends on how he plugged it in what pins went where from that plug so yes it's possible but since it is working it's probably ok just sounds like ram go to Asus website and look at approved ram for that board some boards are picky about ram

Hi, Im the guy that have builded the pc of manowar2

PS:Im not good in english sorry


I have two ask about this problem

The first ask

Could we think the problem can be only compatibilty board

We know, DDR2 DDR3 its a standart, but some model is not perfect with some board spent several years

In the website of GSKILL

The mem is Not Qualified Vendor list

QVL
ASUS Rampage Extreme
ASUS P5E3 Premium
ASUS P5E3 Deluxe
ASUS P5Q3 Deluxe
ASUS P5Q3
ASUS P5P43TD
ASUS P5P43TD Pro

But Why P5E3 PRO was not listed...

Change brand can be way ? Like kingston Hyper X

I know, normally is not very important because we can get any RAm for any board today and all its okay.

But i would like to get opinion about that


Second ask

All hardware is new...

But an error have maded when i built the computer

I made fault when i plug P4 wire plug of mobo,

I dont have put the good wire i have plugged 6-pin wire.. ( for video card)

The computer does not start.

Protection electricity was here in the board but can be damaged the board

What is opinion about that

===================

===================

The last ask

We know Memtest got good reputability

Can we say its same accurate with hardware tester and software tester ?

What is difference ?

in order to minimize potential problems it's always best to use ram qualified for your board and make sure all Bios settings are correct for voltage timings and speed.

Also just because something is new does not mean it's good I get defective parts shipped to me more than you could imagine.

there is always potential for damage when you plug in the wrong power connectors be very careful about that.

 

[p1tcho0]

that depends on how he plugged it in what pins went where from that plug so yes it's possible but since it is working it's probably ok just sounds like ram go to Asus website and look at approved ram for that board some boards are picky about ram

If we check the pin ! ! ! 6 pin 4 pin ! !
! ! ! ! !

The error was 2 pin at left was not in hole of p4 board lik that

! X X
! X X

Used !

 

[computersplus]

if you are in doubt RMA board plain and simple
