Random BSOD's and Screen Freezing/Crashing Please Help

[centaur78]

Hi dakka

it looks like changing the PSU... Could have resolved the issue the graphic card not getting enough power... However I do understand that you have done the test as well as had a BSOD after changing the PSU.... Could be a one of case... So will wait for your feedback

Hopefully that is the case centaur78 and I will leave it running for the day and report back as it never goes very long without some kind of crash but so far so good, apart from after the initial installation last night! I will post back shortly! Fingers crossed

 

[Dakka]

I have restarted the PC a few times now and it has been running since this morning and so far no crashes or any problems at all in fact. I know it is too early to tell if it is fixed but I have +Rep'd all you guys anyway because it has run all day for the first time and that in itself is enough to give you guys some credit! I just hope it stays how it is running now!

I hope the good fortune continues for you, Dakka. Thanks for the rep, it is appreciated. I guess I'm just one of those who likes to know exactly what was wrong and that it is fixed. You had crashes after the PSU change, so that leads me to believe the PSU was not the problem. But a newer and better PSU is always a plus. But, in the end, it really does not matter if I know what the problem was. All that is really important is that the computer is running right and not crashing. You should be commended for sticking with it and running all of the tests and other things that have been suggested in these 11 pages of posts. Most people will not stick with it that long. I know what a real pain it is. I've been there, done that. I have the T-shirt. So, congraulations and well done.

Thank you very much essenbe and I hope it does too, although, it has only been a day, it may not be over just yet and I do indeed tend to see it through as I am doing computing at Uni and can not let something like this go! It is software development and games development I am doing but computing in general is a passion and I can't rest until I know the problem and then know how to rectify said problem in the future! As of now though, this thread is still alive and kicking until we know the source of the problem! I just wanted to give you credit for your time and help so far as it is well deserved! Tomorrow is another day though so we will see if the problem persists, but for today, thank you, all of you!

Just for curiosity sake Could you also post the voltages using HWinfo for CPU and GPU...

 

[Dakka]

No problem, here is a screen shot of HWmonitor.

 

[centaur78]

No problem, here is a screen shot of HWmonitor.

Also run GPU Z and post the value of the Sensor tab

Here it is centaur

How does it all look?

 

[Dakka]

Ok so it's been a few days now with no problems at all! I have been playing farcry 3 and other demanding games and tasks and not had any issues! I think it must have been the psu or maybe a combination of the psu and the things we've done! I will mark this thread as solved when you guys think I should! You have been great and i know who and where to seek help from in the future

Thank you

 

[essenbe]

Mark it as solved when you think it is solved. I am glad we helped and will all be right here if you have problems in the future. Glad you have it running the way you like.

I don't believe it! I just installed a new hdd and got bsod, bad pool header!

 

[centaur78]

I don't believe it! I just installed a new hdd and got bsod, bad pool header!

Dakka did you reset the bios back to the defaults... I hope you remember we had changed the settings while troubleshooting the graphics card..

Could you reset them back to the default and check again

Is the new drive a slave disk or... The master. Did you reinstall windows again on the new disk

 

[Dakka]

I didn't reset bios and the drive is slave centaur I can't get over how I just that minute before was about to close the thread! Sod's law

Oh and I didn't reinstall windows, it's just for storage!

 

[Dakka]

It seems to be ok now! The hdd I put in was a 1 terabyte hdd that was totally full! I've deleted 90% of the things on there now though! I have ordered a new mobo, case and processor anyway so either way it will be sorted soon! They was for a new build but at least I will have more compatible parts to test things properly! I can't go taking my misses' or daughters pc's to bits to try as it would void they're warranties! If they don't fix the issue then it's my graphics card so I will leave this thread open until I have put it all together when it gets here and report back!

 

[Britton30]

Do you have drives attached via IDE/PATA? There should be no slave/master relationship with SATA.

 

[Dakka]

No, they are sata! I got the question mixed up with the boot order (stupid I know)!

 

[Britton30]

Heh heh, not stupid. I can understand how that's possible.

 

[Dakka]

Since I put the gpu in this new build there have been no issues guys! Apart from quite a long boot process! Event viewer shows an error everytime I boot! It hangs for about a minute after logging on before it starts but after that its all fast! I'm thinking that my mobo was bad on the problem pc, as I have not had a bsod on this one with the same ram and gpu in it!
