Hi all,
It's nice to be here and I have some questions.
I found that I am getting blue screen on this motherboard quite often, especially when I am putting my hard disks under stress.
The messages are mostly DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL, with PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA and BUGCODE_USB_DRIVERS occur occassionally.
At first they occur quite frequently, and there are some drivers' name that I can refer to.
And I have identified that Kaspersky Anti-Virus, McAfee Anti-Virus Enterprise, D-Link DWL-G132 and Winfast 7600GT AGP are causes of these blue screens.
For the first 3, I have no idea about them even with updated drivers or solutions on the net, so I removed them. While for 7600GT I updated the drivers and the issue seems to be resolved.
And then I start to see blue screen without references to driver names but only codes.
I tested that when I run tests based on CPU / RAM / Video card only, I would have no problem, but they will come when I do heavy-multitasking or system stability test or hard disk tests.
I was suspecting that it is something related to RAM or Hard Disk but I am not sure.
By the way, my configuration:
Asrock 4coredual-vsta (bios 1.80 / 1.80c - doesn't have any differences on this issue)
Intel Pentium E2160 @ 267 x 9
Corsair TWINX20483200C2 2 x 1GB DDR400 @ 2-3-3-6-1T
2 x Hitachi 250GB PATA133
1 x Hitachi 250GB SATA
1 x Hitachi 160GB PATA100 (on sata channel using a converter, but I am not only pushing this hard disk so this should not be the problem)
Leadtek Winfast 7600GT 256MB AGP
Creative SB Audigy Platinum
Compro X800 TV Tuner
Intel V.92 modem
2 x BenQ DW1670
Enermax Liberty 650W
BIOS setting are mostly default except the cpu overclocking, ram timings, PCI delayed transaction enabled, SMART enabled, PCI Latency Timer to 64, serial port / parallel port / game port / onboard lan / onboard sound etc. disabled.
And although there are blue screens I cannot found any errors after running hours of memtest86 or windows memory diagnostics. There are no bad sectors or smart errors on anything else for the hard disks.
I was wondering if it is the ide controller having problems, or 32-bit data transfer, or what.
By the way, I am using all with the most updated drivers with clean install.
Another question related to the modded bios 1.80c.
Intel's technologies (EIST, thermal throttling, c1e) are good but as this motherboard is not supposed to have these features enabled I really doubt that if this board can stand on jumping vcores so frequently (1.15v <-> 1.3v), asrock's capacitors or other electric components are not that good...
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
