Hey guys,

I've just built a brand new system from OCUK. I'm running a clean install of Windows 7 64 bit Home Premium. Specs as follows:

"Krypton Z77 ROG" Intel Core i5 3570K 3.40GHz @ 4.60GHz DDR3 Ivybridge Overclocked Bundle:
> Asus Z77 Maximus V Gene Intel Z77 (Socket 1155) DDR3 Motherboard
> Intel Core i5-3570K 3.40GHz @ 4.60GHz (Ivybridge) Socket LGA1155 Processor (77W)
> GeIL Black Dragon 16GB (2x8GB) DDR3 PC3-12800C11 1600MHz Dual Channel

Gigabyte ATI Radeon HD 7970 Windforce 3X 3072MB GDDR5

Samsung 256GB SSD 840 PRO SATA 6Gb/s Basic

Seagate Barracuda 2TB 7200RPM SATA 6Gb/s 64MB Cache

Corsair Professional Series HX+ 850W '80+ Gold' Modular Power Supply

Anyway, I'm getting the Blue Screen of Death after around 5 minutes of initially turning the PC on. Thing is, this only happens when I turn the PC on "from cold". As in, on a morning after it has been off all night. It powers up, 5 minutes later, it dies. Then it reboots and it seems to run fine for hours. The BSOD comes back every time I start it "from cold" though.

According to BlueScreenView I'm getting the following two errors (I seem to get one or the other randomly):

Code: 
040713-6864-01.dmp	07/04/2013 10:31:37	PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA	0x00000050	fffff95f`f015bf80	00000000`00000008	fffff95f`f015bf80	00000000`00000005	ntoskrnl.exe	ntoskrnl.exe+75c40	NT Kernel & System	Microsoft® Windows® Operating System	Microsoft Corporation	6.1.7601.18044 (win7sp1_gdr.130104-1431)	x64	ntoskrnl.exe+75c40					C:\Windows\Minidump\040713-6864-01.dmp	4	15	7601	277,248

I initially thought it might've been an old hard drive from my previous PC which I'd also installed. I removed this, but the BSODs continue.

So I've ran MemTest86 this morning and I'm getting the following errors before the first pass is even finished:

Does this look like dodgy RAM? Any ideas as to why it would only occur on a "cold boot"?

If you need any more info, please advise! (An explanation of how I can obtain said info would also help! :p)
 
Have you tried turning everything back to stock speeds to see if it still happens? If so, then it looks like the RAM is faulty.
 
I wouldn't know where to start to be honest. I bought a pre-overclocked bundle because it was guaranteed to run at the overclocked speeds. If it works at stock speeds, but not at overclocked speeds, that's no good to me because I paid for an overclock! (If you get what I mean?)

Those MemTest86 errors I posted - are they consistent with faulty RAM?
 
Yes they are. But the memory controller is within the CPU itself, so it's worth a shot to return it to stock speeds just to test.
 
ram issue or not enough vccsa/vccio voltage

is x.m.p profile 1 enabled for your memory?

tried testing one stick at a time with memtest to try and find if you have a faulty ram stick?
 
XMP Profile 1? No idea... How do I go about checking that out, and what does it do?

As for taking one stick out and trying that way - I'll give it a go tonight to see if I can narrow it down to one stick.

Click to expand...

Right, but if I return to stock speeds and I don't get the errors anymore, what would that mean?

My point is, I've bought an overclocked bundle with a guaranteed overclock. If I'm getting errors whilst overclocked, the RAM is faulty, regardless of whether or not it is fine at stock speeds! Or would doing this and not finding an error indicate that something else is wrong?
 
It means it needs more memory related voltage at the oc to get rid of the errors,vccsa is usually 0.9v and vccio you might need 1.1v from stock 1.05v
 
Still not getting it! How do I check if it's enabled? And should it be enabled?

Just had another one, slightly different this time:

Code: 
040713-8034-01.dmp	07/04/2013 13:56:11	SYSTEM_SERVICE_EXCEPTION	0x0000003b	00000000`c0000005	fffff960`000877e5	fffff880`07e72090	00000000`00000000	dxgkrnl.sys	dxgkrnl.sys+313f					x64	ntoskrnl.exe+75c40					C:\Windows\Minidump\040713-8034-01.dmp	4	15	7601	281,616
 
Had a look through the BIOS as best as I could figure. XMP is mentioned at v1.2. Make any sense to you folk?

As I say, this is all technical stuff that OCUK were supposed to take care of! I guess what I'm asking is - if MemTest is showing up errors as shown in the image in the OP, would you send the RAM back and ask for new?
 
Can't find XMP enable/disable. VCCIO Voltage is on auto and was fluctuating around 1.05v as far as I could tell. No idea how to take it off auto - as I say - OCUK set this all up. I don't want to mess with it.
