Solved Random BSOD's while doing literally anything

Here is a test for the VRAM on your GPU.

I think the Memtest86+ is the one that will point us in the right direction. Are you noticing any drops below 11.4volts on the 12+volt rail?

Processor test passed, heres the file for it View attachment 212086

Ok thanks. We will just have to put faith in the program and assume processor is fine. It is odd though why prime95 is showing errors.

It could be a voltage issue. But the memory could be a factor too.

Running the VMT now. On my phone so I'll drop in with the result of that soon. Should I do a quick memtest after or do multiple ones overnight

 

[James7679]

You really should let Memtest86+ run for a minimum of 7 passes. We have seen instances where it took up to 21 passes to find a fault.

 

[Sackomatic]

Well I'm in college tomorrow so I'll be able to let it run for 12 hours straight the longer the better

ninja edit: the VMT test just finished, no errors whatsoever, running the intel burn test now

 

[Sackomatic]

hate to double post but this would be a good bump for any newcomers at this point. Intel burn test has failed after 2 passes, below is the screenshot, the max temps are actually lower this time because i put my fan on a turbo profile instead of silent

another edit: sorry forgot to answer your question james, i havent seen it below 11.4 at any point, graphs dont say so either

 

[James7679]

Download CPUz and show us all the tabs please.

 

[Sackomatic]

here are the CPUZ screenshots, slots 3 and 5 had identical data

Okay, update your BIOS.BIOS is good. Sorry.

Then, try these settings. VCore 1.2v, vtt 1.24v, RAM 8-8-8-24-88-2t

 

[event3horizon]

holy hell i've never seen 'intel burn test' i need to run this at home. Never knew there was something a lot more insane than prime95.

 

[Sackomatic]

@James

Yeah i was just about to mention thats the latest bios i can get. After i finally figured out VTT = QPI for me, asus just have to be awkward, anyhow I've set all those again, I'll try the burn test again

@event3horizon

Well I indirectly (mainly james) have made you learn something, this makes us even!

 

[Sackomatic]

james and event, both of you are legends. Prime has run 10 tests so far without failing, burn test made it through 5 before i got bored and stopped it, I'm gonna run it overnight and update in the morning to see how it goes

 

[James7679]

I am assuming the voltage and timing changes are what you are referring to?

 

[Sackomatic]

Yep, all I've done is made those changes so far, but i think its worked

 

[James7679]

Okay, well, keep an eye on your temps. Still run Memtest86 tonight. And let us know how everything goes.

 

[Sackomatic]

I ran the Memtest overnight, 12 passes no errors, putting in some quality time on BF3/League of legends (xTrojan if you guys are down). but it looks like we're good

 

[James7679]

Congrats Sackomatic! You can leave the thread open for a few days and come back and mark as solved whenever you are ready.

 

[Sackomatic]

Well I've had a combination of stress tests running and have had no issue, my only question now is with regards to CPU and ram overclocking, is there anything i should or shouldnt do since we tweaked the ram and the core voltage and the VTT

 

[James7679]

Are you looking to overclock the CPU and RAM?
