BSOD on £1100 rig, pls help

still having trouble, this is wha ti had to go through to get back on after the last crash.

1)Hung on "checking NVRAM" power off/power on

2) "-" in top left of screen - hung there, power off/power on

3) would not post - no "beep" and no screen power off/power on

4) finally get to bios to say " Overclock failed" change settings, press F1 for bois or F2 to restore defaults and continue.

5) went back to getting stuck on " Checking NVRAM"

6 7 & 8) would not post "beep"

9) CMOS setting wrong, F1 for Bios F2 for defaults - pressed F2 then chose last know working config/settings

all of that to get here again, please help me.

I have found the minidump files but where can i host them?
 
but the mobo only has one PS2 connector, so i can either have a mouse or a keyboard??? that isnt going to work for me.

You can run the computer with just the mouse connected to the PS2 and no keyboard while you see if the USB mouse was causing an issue.
Just connect the/a PS2 mouse to the PS2 and browse the internet for a while to see if you can get it too crash without anything connected to the USB ports.
 
Well 3 crashes and it seems to be something different everytime.

Assuming your not overclocked at all I'd guess the ram is playing up.


Memtest86 all 4 sticks over night tonight and report back results tomorrow morning.


*edit*
first actually.

Go into bios first. Go to Jumperfree configuration > ai overclocking change to "manual" and go down and make sure DRAM Voltage is set correctly.
 
All fault finding is logical process of elimination, you remove stuff from the equation until the fault disappears. As the dump is going on about USB I would personally start their.
Saying that the fault is intermittent so therefore it cannot be the mouse is wrong, what’s not too say the mouse itself has an intermittent fault that is causing the computer to randomly crash!?!
Also as the dump is going on about USB I would go into the BIOS and start playing around with any USB settings it has..
Obviously it could have absolutely nothing too do with USB and the dump is just chatting rubbish, but you have to start somewhere so USB would be my first point of call tbh.
 
Is it this stuff:

?

2v in that case. It will probablly be on "auto" just change it to 2v.

In this case USB driver just happened to be the driver that incorrectly accessed memory. 3 Logs : 3 drivers. Ram/Cpu or chipset driver problem.
 
Ok, tried something, took out the second stick of 2GB ram, leaving only 1 in the pc - left it on last night with a tracer prog that if it crashed would at least tell me the time it crashed.


AND.................................




Nothing, pc was on all night, i can reboot it and it works fine. Thanks soo much people, it looks like its the ram that is faulty, or at least that stick of it. I will phone OCUK on monday and get it RMA'd.

Thanks for all of your help, im fine if it minor things, but the reboots were random, and i couldnt figure it out.


Many thanks again
