(SOLVED Thanks TorrentG) BSOD on a custom built PC

Hi everyone,
new to forums. registered to get some answers hopefully about random BSODs. I built a computer for my brother a couple months ago. (i7-930 (no errors on prime running for 2hrs), gigabyte x58ud3r mobo (with latest bios), 1tb samsung spinpoint (passed scanned with seatools), 6gb corsair ram (passed memtest for 1hr) , gigabyte 4550 gpu, 550w ocz psu, hyper 212+fan, windows 7 64 bit)
I set everything to run at stock speeds.

recently he started complaining that his computer would crash randomly. i've tested and retested the hardware, but im not too familiar with windows so hopefully you guys can give me some guidance. i'm attaching the dump files. thanks in advance.

thanks for the quick reply. i'm updating the drivers now, but I don't see easytune on my brother's list of installed programs. any idea where i should be looking? thanks again
 
Look for any Gigabyte software and uninstall all. In any case, when done, go to C:\Windows\ and delete gdrv.sys, reboot.

You should post those screen shots too, no matter if it's going well or not.

The memory is very overclocked which is causing the crashes.

You have it at 800 MHz and it needs to be set at 667 MHz, instead.

ALTERNATIVELY -

You can leave it at 800 MHz and instead, increase the voltage and set the VDIMM to 1.65V and save.

----------

So either lower the frequency or up the voltage. One of the two.

All the timings are good, so leave them alone in any case.

Enjoy.
 
holy crap i didn't notice that. i don't remember changing those settings at all. you're right though. going into the bios now. thanks so much!
 
did everything, but still getting bsod. attaching new minidump. thanks

If you are sure it is set well in the bios now - then memory is defective. Replace entire RAM with new matching set.

That's a huge and big if, that falls on you to ensure.

You're welcome to post a new memory tab screen shot.

Memory is set well, which means it's defective.
