Hello.

Reformatted my computer after being tired of dealing with BSODs from a previous version of Windows 7.
I upgraded my motherboard after my old one died, and upgraded the processor. Sadly as my previous motherboard died and I didn't have a Win7 disc to hand, doing a clean install was not possible. Eventually I managed a clean install using Win 8.

In one night I've had FOUR BSODs from various different causes.
I've ran a memory check using sfc /scannow and it said that it had fixed the corruption.

Here is a link to the Minidumps.

Not sure how to look at them myself, but I hope someone can help!
 
A disk was provided with the MOBO from which I installed all the drivers from.

I'll use Bluescreen View and run a check.

What I have noticed is previously, when I used an Intel online scanner to detect my drivers, it BSOD when it scanned my Network driver.
I then updated the network driver (despite Windows claiming it was up to date) and thought that would solve the issue.

I'm just hoping my HDD isn't corrupt or my memory isn't fudged!
 
Hello.

I downloaded the new drivers but ran into two BSODs afterwords.
Both of them were IRQL Less than Equal and according to Bluescreen View were both caused by netio.sys !

Any idea how I can fix this?

My motherboard is a Gigabyte Z87-D3HP Intel Z87 (Socket 1150) DDR3 ATX Motherboard.
 
Ah, my apologies, I mean that I downloaded the drivers and managed to install them, but ended up running to two BSODs later on.

I downloaded all the ones that Intel had for Win8 64-bit.
 
Sorry for the double post.

I checked the timings and the voltages and they matched exactly. I suppose that rules out that problem!

Had another BSOD just now, related to my AVG, another less than or not equal, but Blue Screen Viewer also said that:

ntoskrnl.exe

was the culprit. Looking through all the other logs, that consistently appears as an error in every BSOD!
 
Cool. I shall do this tonight and report back tomorrow.

Will dodgy memory potentially damage my system? I ask because at the moment I can't really afford to buy new memory till the start of next month. I'm quite happy to ride a few BSODs until then.

Any recommendations on what memory to get?
My specs currently are:

i5 4670k
Gigabyte Z87-D3HP
Geforce GTX 670
G-Skill 4GB (2x2GB) DDR3 1600mhz Ripjaws Memory Kit CL9 (9-9-9-24) 1.5V
and
G-Skill 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3 1600Mhz RipjawsX Memory Kit CL9 (9-9-9-24) 1.5V
Windows 8 64bit.

Any suggestions for alternatives/upgrades? They seem to be no longer sold!
 
Hello.

So I left Memtest86+ running for about 9 hours and it completed 4 passes.

It found over 2300+ errors. I suppose this means my RAM is in bad shape?

Here's a link to a picture of my PC with the Memtest+ before I finished it.
As you can see, lots of errors detected in test 7!
