BSOD Help!

Dribbles · 9 Jan 2011 at 11:32

I built a new computer in September and it's been great up until Dec/Jan, where I've been getting intermittent BSODs. I'm not sure what's causing them.

Specs:

Antec 300 Three Hundred Case
CoolerMaster Hyper TX3 Cooler LGA775/1156/AM2/AM3
Gigabyte GTX 460 OC 1GB GDDR5 OC Edition Dual DVI HDMI PCI-E
Western Digital WD5000AAKS 500GB SATAII 7200RPM 16MB Cache
Kingston 4GB (2x2GB) DDR3 1600MHz HyperX Memory Kit CL9(9-9-9-27) 1.7 - 1.9V
Asus M4A87TD/USB3 870 Socket AM3 8 Channel Audio ATX Motherboard
Sony AD7241S 24x DVD±RW DL & RAM with LightScribe SATA Optical Drive
OCZ Stealth Xstream II 600W PSU - 3x SATA 2x PCI-E
AMD Phenom II X4 955 Black Edition Socket AM3 3.2 GHz 8MB L3 Cache Retail Boxed Processor

Here's the collection of minidump files: http://www.mediafire.com/?j4a64y3b6qjwkf7

I've been looking at them but it's always a different executable causing it:
ntkrnlmp.exe
tcpip.sys
win32k.sys
sometimes it's even chrome.exe

Any help would be much appreciated - thanks!

Have you tried running memtest

BSOD's can be caused by a lot of things, first thing I'd suggest is to boot into safe mode and remove any software that you've recently added. If the BSOD happens on boot up then it could be a hardware issue. Ensure all your drives are plugged in and powered etc.

Right, I ran memtest for 9 hours and got no errors. I reformatted and I've just had my first BSOD after 2 days. Is there anything else I can check? Hard Drive errors maybe.

Any help/suggestions appreciated!

BSODs really staring to be a nuisance. Could someone recommend programs that check the cpu and hd for errors? I assume there isn't one to check for motherboard errors.

Thanks

Anyone? I've tried googling, is Hiren's BootCD of any use?

Is your cpu overclocked at all?

If it is, load default settings first of all. Put the GTX back to stock settings too

Check in the BIOS what voltage is being supplied to the RAM and run it at its rated speed and voltage.

Check temperature of CPU using Real Temp or Coretemp.

Try booting with only 1 x 2GB RAM and run an overnight Memtest86. Repeat for the other stick. Also run windows memory diagnostic test on each stick individually installed, via F8 during boot up.

When you formatted you hard drive, presuming you reinstalled Windows 7? Was it legal copy or a torrent?

Thanks for advice.

It's a legal copy, cpu and gpu aren't overclocked, cpu temp around 25 degrees, ram correct voltage and frequency.

I'll try testing one stick at a time, thanks

I tried one stick at a time, but no errors. I had a PFN list corrupt BSOD recently and googled it and as always was related to memory errors/bad drivers. I was thinking it might have to do with memory voltage and timings as mentioned earlier. Could people have a check to see if they are correct?

Anyone?
