Annoying consistent bsod

Mike223 · 8 Dec 2011 at 12:27

Hey guys,

Currently having some irritating issues with a recent build, the system randomly freezes or bsod at least twice a day.

Not over-clocked or anything and it sits at 27c idle and have only ever seen it reach 38c at the maximum.

Specs are

Antec TruePower 650W Modular PSU
Intel Core i5 2500K 3.3GH
Corsair 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3 1600MHz
Windows 7 Professional 64bit
Hyper 212 Plus Cooler

Picture of bsod

Any help or advice would be much appreciated, Thank You

is there a bios update available for your motherboard ?

have you checked the event log/dump files for any clues ?

all drivers up to date ?

Yeah bios is up to date on latest version and drivers are up to date also but i'm not sure on how to analyse the dump files?

That looks like one I get occasionally

How hard is it to update the bios? I was told it can be dodgy which put me off...

fairly certain (if you still have the mobo in your sig) it has CrashFree BIOS 3, which will help if you have problems.

can do it via cd/usb stick , or i go into safe mode and update via the windows app, entirely up to you which option you pick.

Cheers buddy just had a look into the crash dump and got this which looks like a driver issue if I'm correct?

bit difficult to read as print is to small for my eyesight (stupid eyes

) but can see an indication of vista_driver_fault any chance you can post a link to a bigger pic for easier viewing ?

How come you have a vista driver when you'e using a windows 7?

Hagar · 8 Dec 2011 at 16:01

Someones solution

I went to Intel's web site and downloaded a newer driver, Intel HD Graphics 15.22.50.2509 64-bit , for the integrated graphics processor and I now have stability! This graphics driver is not available on the Asus site, you have to go to Intel to get it.

I'm unsure which driver it is which is causing the problem?

Thanks I've just updated the integrated Intel HD driver but don't think that will be the issue

I did it during the bios at start using the ASUS EZ Flash 2

Was really simple and all went perfect. there was about 4 updates from the version i have, 2 of which has system stability updates so should fix my problem

thanks dude!!

Still no luck with this, have tried everything almost.

The Halk · 13 Apr 2012 at 03:25

I don't think it's a driver, I think it's instability. Try increasing vcore.

I live in Coatbridge.. come sort it out for us

I'll try doing that mate and let you know thanks

What temps are you getting on your cpu?
Also, try maybe 1.1v VTT instead of the default 1.05
Set RAM voltage to 1.525v

Might be a RAM issue, 101 has usually been memory related in my experience.

Mike223 · 14 Apr 2012 at 18:24

Never overclocked in my life...

What should I adjust in regards to The Halk's reply?
