I have just built a new computer. And am getting BSODs. Here's my notes on them:

Errors Codes are as follows:

-this was the first time it did this (might be cause i enabled pagefile.sys before this crash?):

What I can say what i was doing when i got the blue screens:

-first two times all i know is i was in ventrilo (voice communication program) using a usb mic and one of those times i was playing Team Fortress 2
-3rd and 4th times i was recording with my Presonas Firestudio Project interface.
-5th crash i was away. i do'nt think i had anything major running and the screens were off and i was out of the room.
-6th crash i was playing DOD:S for about 30 mins Fire Studio project was off.
-7th crash playing TF2 for 5 mins at most. Fire Studio project was on and default audio device.

My system hiccups sometimes when it shouldn't with these specs. Such as when typing in a web browser sometimes ill be typing and the cursor will freeze for a second then all that I typed while it was frozen will all pop out at once. or when playing games like TF2 there will be lots of sound loops (repeats a split second sound clip 3 to 5 times then proceeds) and video hiccups. these might be because my internet is bad also?

So far i have done the following to try to fix this error:

Ran:
-Disk Defrag on all drives
-Maleware (0 threats)
-IoBit secutry 360 (0 threats)

-Calculated my power supply using Antec's power supply calculator:
System Type: Single Processor
Motherboard: High End - Desktop
CPU: AMD Phenom II X6 1090T 3200 MHz Thuban
CPU Utilization (TDP): 90% TDP
RAM: 4 Sticks DDR3 SDRAM
Video Card: AMD Radeon HD 6870
Video Type: Single Card
Green SATA: 2 HDDs
Flash SSD: 1 Drive
DVD-RW/DVD+RW Drive: 1 Drive
USB: 3 Devices
IEEE-1394 FireWire: 1 Device
Fans
Regular: 1 Fan 120mm; 1 Fan 250mm;
LED: 1 Fan 92mm; 3 Fans 120mm;
Keyboard and mouse: Yes
System Load: 90 %
Recommended Minimum
PSU Wattage: 429 Watts

Neweggs power supply calculator: 527 Watts recommend

I'm 123-221 watts over recommend supply. shouldn't be a problem there.




-Did some GPU stress tests using FurMark:
First i did a Burn-In test for 30 minutes @ full screen Resolution: 1680x1050 (FS) - AA:2 samples:
max temp 81, avg fps 25, max fan speed 47%

then some Benchmarks at 1 min each one right after the other with little time in between to cool off:
-BM 1 SCORE:1488 points (24 FPS, 60000 ms) FPS: min:22, max:31, avg:24 - OPTIONS: DynBkg
-BM 2 SCORE:943 points (15 FPS, 60000 ms) FPS: min:13, max:19, avg:15 - OPTIONS: DynCam
-BM 3 SCORE:1318 points (21 FPS, 60000 ms) FPS: min:22, max:23, avg:21 - OPTIONS: none (burn in)
-BM 4 SCORE:646 points (10 FPS, 60000 ms) FPS: min:11, max:12, avg:10 - OPTIONS: XB
-BM 5 SCORE:2179 points (36 FPS, 60000 ms) FPS: min:34, max:40, avg:36 - OPTIONS: FX

no crashes. temps look good.





Thoughts of possible suspects:
-Driver issues? (sound cards?)
-Bad Windows install? Maybe bad windows install discs? Discs were bought off eBay and looked questionable. I will get new ones from M$ and reformat soon.
-When I first installed windows Pagefile.sys and hibernate.sys were huge (~13gb each) so i disabled hibernate and disabled Pagefile.sys. -I enabled my PageFile.sys after 6th crash to see if that helped but crashed again but i got a crash dump 7th time.
-Monitor issues? maybe the cabling on the second monitor is messing with something (DVI to HDMI converter on vid card with a HDMI to DVI cable to monitor). I just didn't have another DVI lying around). 2 different resolutions, sizes and aspect ratios?

Probably caused by : memory_corruption ( nt!MiUnmapPageInHyperSpaceWorker+49 )


RAM is the problem.

1. Load bios defaults, save and reboot. Make sure AMD Cool and Quiet is on. Also, should be no overclocking.
2. Uninstall AVG (replace with MSE for now) and uninstall Daemon Tools.
3. If still crashes, decrease the total amount of RAM by removing sticks.


PSU Wattage: 429 Watts

Consider a more powerful unit.

well all the sticks pass 100% no errors on my buddies computer. ram seems good. might be mobo might be timings and voltages? like i said above i tested 2 of the slots individually and got errors at the same spot in the memtest on them both.
