New build BSOD ?

[slick2004]

while playing Bad Co @ im getting a random BSOD with W7 64 bit os, where do i start to troubeshoot problem?

 

[mnewsham]

Update graphics drivers, mem test. Did you OC?

 

[OILFIELDTRASH]

Have you run memtest? That's where I would start.

 

[slick2004]

memtest reported no errors, not oc'ing and the graphic drivers are new, im using a new gigabyte ud3 1155 socket board, ive heard rumors of vdrops, could that have something to do with it possibly?

 

[OILFIELDTRASH]

Does it only happen when you game? Vdrop shouldn't matter on a non overclocked system.

 

[slick2004]

only when i game, is there anything i should look for on the bsod that could lead me to the problem specifically?

thanks

 

[OILFIELDTRASH]

You could google whatever it says when it bsod. Is it a new video card?

 

[slick2004]

new 570gtx , 850 watt ps, 4gb gskill eco 1600 1.35v

 

[OILFIELDTRASH]

Was this a msi GTX 570? A lot of bad reviews on newegg about those. Lots of people getting bad cards. If you have a spare card I'd try it and see what happens.

its a evga sc

It's either the Memory or the Motherboard

Try fooling with the voltages first.

EDIT: turn off Vdroop and raise the memory voltages, both at minimal increments.

 

[slick2004]

possible Load-Line Calibration ?? ill post a pic of the bsod next time

thx

 

[slick2004]

STOP Error 0x00000124: WHEA_UNCORRECTABLE_ERROR, thats the first followed by a couple more

Some good advice such as making sure everything is seated correctly.

Did you try to re-seed your ram sticks? I had a bsod because of that last time i built new system. Make sure all of your drivers up to date, not just video card. Use cd that came with mobo.

 

[slick2004]

im using this Gskill memory http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231321

should I rma the memory and trysome higher voltage stuff? like maybe some ripjaw?

 

[OILFIELDTRASH]

How long did you let memtest run? Are the timings on the ram set correctly in the bios? What voltage is the ram running at? Does lowering ram speeds stop the bsod?

At what point did you come to the conclusion it's the ram? Or are we parts swapping now?

 

[slick2004]

memtest for 3 hours, timing are ok, running at 1.36 volts

Have you tried reseating ram, reseating CPU, unplugging all cables and plugging them back in securely? What else do you have installed in your pc? I would take out any soundcards, wireless cards, even unhook USB cables and optical drive. And see if it continues.
Did you try another video card? Did you run intel burn test?

 

[slick2004]

tried all that, running intel burn now, only thing installed were drivers and bFBC2, is 1.35 volts to low for gaming? the gskill was on the QVL list for the board but im wondering if i should maybe try some different ram first and then mybe its the board, ive heard giabytes have issues with vdrop

 

[Athadeus]

On stock multiplier with auto voltage, it is usually overvolting enough that vdroop should not cause instability. Few of the enthusiasts here are electrical/computer engineers, and few have experience with 1.35v DRAM, so you should not be asking and expecting good answers about that. How about buying a 1.5v kit and switching it alone to maybe isolate the problem and bring more knowledge to these forums?

IBT and Prime95 have always been able to reproduce system stability issues for me, so I hope you can prove that it is or is not graphics related through those tests. If you can get instability outside of games, I suspect that your memory configuration may need some work. My X58 system wasn't stable at stock, and it turned out that I had to goof with the memory configuration a bit to make it stable. Maybe it was because I use 1.5v when 1.65v was more common for that platform.

 

[slick2004]

will prime95 tell me what the problem is? should I rma the ram and get some 1.5v ram?

 

[mfenn]

You can try running your Eco at 1.5V. It's the same chips as the 1.5V stuff (IIRC), just binned for 1.35V operation.

 

[slick2004]

it runs bfbc2 awesome for about 15 minutes and then the blue scree bs, i dont want to spend hours f'ing with it, ill probably swap out the ram, i wish there was a way to pinpoint the issue, its all brand new stuff

 

[OILFIELDTRASH]

How are the temps before it shuts down?
