Blue screen issues ...

[seanington1234]

Firstly sorry if this is in the wrong area but i didnt see a tech help bit.

Bought my self a core i5 set up and sold my old stuff. Now i've got nothing but trouble with blue screens :|

My set up:

Asus Sabertooth p67 (b3 revision)
core i5 2500
corsair xms3 1600 mhz ram

^ these are the new bits (my pc worked fine before hand, no blue screens)

radeon HD 5770
3 hard drives, 1 SSD, 2 mechanical.
coolermaster 700 watt PSU

Basically when i bought the new stuff i couldnt even install windows because it blue screened and only detected 1 HDD at a time. After flashing the bios and several attempts later i managed to install windows.

It then ran fine for a day. (by this time i had windows on a SSD and a normal HDD both were working).

A day later i turn my pc on and blue screen on booting windows. Same goes for both SSD and normal HDD.

I took it back to my local shop where i got it from and they apparently tested it and it ran fine ... no BSOD (but they would only test the components i bough there or they would charge me for booking my pc in).

I take the bits back to mine, reassemle it and nothing but BSOD again. So i formatt and it works again .... then suddenly another BSOD this morning and several in a row ....

Now its on again and running for the time being. But i realy have no idea whats causing this.

Any input / help would be appreciated

Next time it dies, could you grab a photo of the blue screen, or note down any filenames it gives?

Have you the ability to download the Ultimate Boot CD? http://www.ultimatebootcd.com/ - grab the ISO, burn it & boot from it. See how your machine fares running Memtest86+ for a few hours, similarly give it an hour or two on several different CPU stress programs.

Thanks for the reply, ive already got fed up with the board and took it back and swapped it for a cheaper gigabyte board and its still blue screening.

On a different pc now so i will have a go at downloading that boot cd and give it a stress test.

The BSOD error codes have been different each time.

Some times an IRQL less that equal but cant remember the others
