ok, got a customers computer at work that someone got built for them by someone at their work. when it came in the cpu was being underclocked to something like 1.6GHz (even on 100% load so not just non-turbo mode) and the ram setting were a bit random too. so i set bios to optimized settings and set the ram to the XMP profile.
specs are :
X58-USB3
i7 950
6 x 2GB Corsair XMS3
Nvidia GTX480
Corsair CX600
WD20EARS 2TB
Maxtor Diamondmax21 320GB
Segate Barracuda 320GB
Maxtor Diamondmax Plus9 160GB
Windows 7 Ultimate 64 Bit
he has had it BSOD just after the windows welcome screen. we had it running all day yesturday without error. i ran through 3dmark vantage several time, OCCT for over 4 hours and memtest for another couple of hours. so cutomser took pc home as we assumed it must be something he has connected. first startup he gets a BSOD so he ring us, i ask whats connected and he says monitor and wireless keyboard and mouse. got him to remove the wireless keyboard and mouse and restart it, no BSOD. he restarted it 10-15times without error, so we thought, must be a driver issue with that. so he brings it back in, and we get BSOD without them connected
thing is, the BSOD codes are different.
we are getting :
0x0000001A - Memory
0x00000027 - Memory
0x0000000A - Memory/Driver
0x0000003B - GFX/Memory
i have set the bios to failsafe settings and still get the errors, albeit intermittantly, but OCCT errors. set the ram to the XMP profile again and OCCT runs fine.
like i said, not 100% sure where the best place to post this was as i dont know if its a ram, cpu, mobo, gfx or driver issue.
thanks in advance.
