x0a xc9 bsods on a newly built pc

[gonzok]

So I just bought and assembled a new pc. Everything new.

Have been having bsods since the beginning. Also windows updates keep failing. Specifically sp1.

Attached is the dump files.

Thanks in advance!

STOP 0x0000000A: IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL
Usual causes: Kernel mode driver, System Service, BIOS, Windows, Virus scanner, Backup tool, compatibility

STOP 0x000000C9: DRIVER_VERIFIER_IOMANAGER_VIOLATION
Usual causes: Driver verifier

- Test your RAM. your dump files states an indication of possible memory corruption
:ar: http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/105647-ram-test-memtest86.html
Run for at least 8 passes. Pay attention to #3 on that link

- Also, run these two commands from the elevated command prompt:
:ar: chkdsk /r /f
:ar: SFC /scannow

- One of the DirectX driver was caught on the BSOD dump files. Try to update directx
:ar: dxgmms1.sys - Driver Reference Table

Image path: \SystemRoot\System32\drivers\dxgmms1.sys

- Looks like Driver Verifier was enabled on your PC, and caught IOMap64.sys causing I/O error.
This also pops up several times in your dump files
IOMap64.sys - Driver Reference Table
Consider Updating that driver first:

- Until we need it again for further testing, disable driver verifier to reduce your PC Load

---------
IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL (a)
An attempt was made to access a pageable (or completely invalid) address at an
interrupt request level (IRQL) that is too high.  This is usually
caused by drivers using improper addresses.
If a kernel debugger is available get the stack backtrace.

So my DirectX is updated, and I updated my ASUS driver. I ran MEMtest and it showed me a bunch of errors right away. Is it faulty RAM causing my bsods? If so, is it most likely the hardware and would immediately replacing them help solve some issues?


-Thanks again for all the help!

have you tried to move it to different slots?
if the RAM chip's at fault, replace the RAM.
if the slot's bad, it's motherboard's fault.

http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/105647-ram-test-memtest86.html - on point #3 is to determine whether the RAM chip or the motherboard slot is at fault. do so accordingly
