BSOD messages / system crashes

I've just built a new PC (

OcUK HD 7970 3072MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card
Intel Core i5-2500K 3.30GHz (Sandybridge) Socket LGA1155 Processor - Retail
ADATA S511 120GB SATA 6Gb/s Solid State Drive - Retail with Acronis True Image
Team Xtreem 16GB (4x4GB) DDR3 PC3-17000C9 2133MHz Dual/Quad Channel Kit (TXD316G2133HC9NQC-L)
Gigabyte Z68XP-UD3P Intel Z68 (Socket 1155) DDR3 Motherboard
BitFenix Colossus Red LED Big Tower Windowed Case - Black
XFX 850W XXX Edition Modular '80 Plus Silver' Power Supply
Corsair Hydro H80 High Performance Liquid CPU Cooler (Socket LGA775/LGA1155/LGA1156/LGA1366/LGA2011/AM2/AM3) (CWCH80)
Sony Optiarc AD-7280S 24x DVD±RW SATA ReWriter (Black) - OEM
BitFenix Spectre 140mm Fan - Black
OcUK 30cm Cold Cathode 2-in-1 Kit - Red

)

and overclocked it to 4.6GHz (from 3.3) using the turbo feature

Its been running more or less without issue: except now, for a series of BSODs that I've experienced today.

The BSOD messeges are listed below (the messages returned after starting the PC up again)

Is there anything obvious that might be wrong? How do I go about figuring out where this problems is?

Ps - My apologies if I've put this thread in the wrong forum - wasnt sure if it was a software issue or whether it belonged somewhere else entirely...

Can you try testing with one stick of memory at a time.. Try different slots/banks too.

edit - make sure you have set the DRAM voltage to 1.65v

If everything works with the 4gb, then add another 4gb and so on.. You may have to give the memory controller a bit of a boost for the 16gb

What CPU voltage are you using?

cprobertson1 · 2 Mar 2012 at 16:42

CPU VCore is set to "Auto" and displaying 1.2V on Bios
CPU PLL is at 1.8V - again set to auto
everything else is set to auto - the only thing I changed was the turbo mode (and earlier on the clock multiplier - that was before I touched the turbo)(decided to run turbo since I wouldn't be needing the extra processing power most of the time - set all values to 46 (except max power/current which I left at auto) and put the clock multiplier back to 33 (the default)

DRAM is currently running at 1.5V

Channel A/B Data and Address VRef are all at 0.75 - again on auto.
Extreme memory profile = auto
performance enhance = turbo
DDR Voltage is 1.5V
VTT voltage is at 1.05
Memory frequency is at 1333MHz

The first BSOD happened when I was playing skyrim - the PC was sitting fine at 35-48 degrees even during torture tests with prime95)

are you wanting me to upload the minidump files anywhere btw?

--- edit
will try changing the ram about if it happens again - I've reduced the overclocking to 4.4GHz (using turbo again) and reset everything else.
--- edit
will up the DRAM as suggested xD

Admiral Huddy · 2 Mar 2012 at 16:45

Set the DDR voltage to 1.65v

and thenretest

then try the CPU Core of between 1.325-1.350v if overclocking.

then retest.

cprobertson1 · 2 Mar 2012 at 16:53

is the "auto" selection on the CPU voltage not upping the voltage when it hits turbo mode then? If so - its a little misleading xD

Will do, about to restart the PC

-- edit
default value for cpu voltage was 1.35V anyway xD - couldnt read my handwriting xD

well, it hasn't crashed again - hopefully that will be the last of it - I'll post back if there are any problems (going to run a Prime95 torture test later on this evening)
