So i've had this build up and running since September and i've had 6 blue screens since with a total of 4 errors. I've looked into all 4 errors and aren't too sure how to diagnose them, most of the parts are brand new, apart from the SSD and PSU. Everything is running at stock and they are mainly happening whilst playing games.

Wondering if anyone can shed some light? (see signature for specs)

Hi,

Three suggestions are,

• Update the D3HP Bios to latest either at Gigabyte or Tweaktown
• Use the latest Nvidia driver for your OS
• Check the RAM is running at the right speed/timings and Volts.
 
Cheers for the reply Stulid.

Will updating the bios be risky? (need this pc for work)
The RAM is Avexir Core Blue Series 8GB 1600Mhz, which timings & volts should they be set at?
 
From the BSOD codes you have posted, I think it could be a RAM voltage issue.

0xD1 = QPI/VTT, increase/decrease as necessary, can also be unstable Ram, raise Ram voltage

Also:

0x124 = add/remove vcore or QPI/VTT voltage (usually Vcore, once it was QPI/VTT)

This was a common SB issue, not sure if it has transferred over to Haswell. But you said you were running at stock, so maybe discard this.
 
Yeah i was thinking the same with 0x124, as i'm running at stock i was quite confused myself. What should the ram voltage be set at?
 
Updating the BIOS is easy if you use QFlash which you will find in the BIOS.

Download the BIOS file, extract it, put the 8MB or so file onto a USB thumb type drive and point QFlash to this location/file.

The RAM should have an XMP profile stored in it, if you go to the memory section of the BIOS and load this profile this will read the data on the RAM and set it up for you correctly, Save+Exit.
 
Are you using 2 or 4 sticks of RAM?

Forums are rife with issues on Gigabyte Z87 boards causing BSOD problems with 4 sticks of RAM.

I'm currently working with the engineers at Gigabyte providing info etc regarding my personal experiences of the problem.

If you are running 4 sticks, switch to 2 sticks, it should fix your problem.
 
Hi Ace, I'm currently using 2x4gb 1600MHz sticks at the moment.

Edit: Flashed Bios to F5, it was running F2. Also have loaded the XMP profile for the RAM.

0x124 occured again last night, it seems to happen most when its under load. Any chance this could be RAM or HDD related?

None of my hardware is overclocked, NZXT 410 has all 7 fans for cooling, updated bios, xmp profile, gfx drivers, ssd firmware.

Yes.

The easiest thing maybe to do instead of setting the desired voltage as say 1.25v, use the offset voltage control which will add the amount on top of the standard Vcore.

If that makes sense?

So set offset to .10v which will be added to the standard Vcore (1.25v as an example) whenever the CPU is under load.
