yet another BSOD attack

[sakilo]

After monitoring for a while, it seems that on average iddle cpu temp is around 40 degrees C and the gpu temp is around 33 degrees C. When running a game CPU hit a max of about 52 degrees C and gpu about 45 degrees C.

Thats well within the tolerances. Are you still geting BSOD's? If so, upload the latest .dmp file. Copy it from C:\Windows\Minidump to another folder and zip it, then upload it here.

A new WHQL driver has been released yesterday and i am currently trying this one out for now no BSOD have occured. I will post again to keep updated but this one looks promising.

 

[sakilo]

IT has unfortunitly happened again. I am not sure if there is a connection but it seems to happen when i am downloading.

Another thing i have noticed whilst monitoring the cpu is spikes at regular interval. When looking into it it seems to be caused by "systems interrupt" in the windows cpu usage manager.

Still reporting video driver as an issue, but the bugcheck 50 might be indicative of a RAM issue.

You need to test your RAM DIMM's/motherboard RAM slots for errors once more.

Run a minimum of 8 passes, preferably overnight, or until errors occur using MemTest86+.

Use this tutorial to help you use MemTest86+:

Will run it once more and report on the result.

I have successfully passed 8 more runs of memtest 86+ without errors. I have also since then had two more BSOD and have attached the dmp.

OK. Im stumped....it could be the motherboard, but before we call it, I'm going to get a second opinion from Arc.

BSODs are occurring during Steam, mostly.

Stress test the Graphics Card using Furmark.
Video Card - Stress Test with Furmark

Is the computer hot? Report us the heat of the computer after a couple of hours of your normal usage. Upload a screenshot of the summery tab of Speccy. Alternatively, you can publish a Speccy snapshot too: http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/311593-speccy-publish-snapshot-your-system-specs.html .

If you are overclocking any hardware component, bring them back to default settings.

Let us know the results.

 

[sakilo]

I am not overclocking although the video card is supposed to be factory overclocked (or superclocked as its called). Will perform the stress test now and report on that.

 

[sakilo]

At the beginning of the stress test (first minute or so) visual artifacts (white squarish things) are noticeable on the screen but dissapear completely afterwards. It seems to stop after the card has warmed up. The temperature then seems to oscillate between 82 and 83 degrees. Should i let it run for longer? I have attached the speccy screenshot as well.

Another thing i have noticed which may or may not be related is when deplugging my external audio interface my ethernet card stop working completely until I re-install the driver. After doing so the number of the network adapter in device manager increases by 1. Could it be a problem with the interaction of these two drivers? The error is replicable as seen from the screenshot. Tried different driver versions on both devices and it still seems to happen as well.

It should not happen.

Either the things inside the computer is not properly seated or the motherboard is acting up. And any of these two may cause BSODs.

If you are within warranty, ask for a servicing, explaining the issue to them.

Cool thanks a lot for the help guys appreciate it. I took it in today hopefully it will get resolved.
