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

Errors Codes are as follows:

(I didn't write the codes down the first 2 times)

3rd BSOD (3/22/11):

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.

IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL (a)
An attempt was made to access a pageable (or completely invalid) address at an
interrupt request level (IRQL) that is too high.  This is usually
caused by drivers using improper addresses.
If a kernel debugger is available get the stack backtrace.
Arguments:
Arg1: fffff6f44001a710, memory referenced
Arg2: 0000000000000002, IRQL
Arg3: 0000000000000001, bitfield :
	bit 0 : value 0 = read operation, 1 = write operation
	bit 3 : value 0 = not an execute operation, 1 = execute operation (only on chips which support this level of status)
Arg4: fffff800038d58e9, address which referenced memory

PSU Wattage: 429 Watts

Consider a more powerful unit.

I have 650 watt corsair unit. the 429 W was what was just suggested. should i still consider a more powerful unit?

I dont have deamon tools installed. did you see it somewhere in my files?

I have done as you said about the anti virus. may i ask what all is wrong with avg?

Thanks for you help!
 
1. Daemon Tools/Alcohol 120%/etc. - uninstall the SPTD driver:
sptd.sys Sun Mar 22 08:35:35 2009
with the use of this tool DuplexSecure - FAQ


2. AVG - it is a very good idea to try out for bsod's without AVG and SPTD because these drivers are known to cause bsods quite often.


3. 650W - looks OK.
 
Well after i lost nearly all my storage from my RAID falling apart, I recovered my data and decided to reformat and create a RAID 0 this time with my two 2tb hard drives. the system is running A LOT better. no hickups like before and no crashes for a month... until today.

after i installed sony vegas 10.0 X64 today, i was making a video and selected "selectivly prerender video" which i believe loads and renders the project into RAM and got a BSOD mid way through the rendering.

the BSOD created a dump and then rebooted the computer before i could write down the code or take a picture of it. anyways here's the dump info attached:

Sounds very familar.
Read this. Everything about your build looks very similar to mine and the primary way I could get my machine to blue screen (reliably) was doing pretty much what you are doing. So if you remove 1 stick of ram and the computer will not blue screen, then you can be pretty sure that it's an issue with having all four slots populated with 1333 memory.
Check the link at the bottom regarding some alternative steps to resolve your issue, basically, do what I did and dumb it down to 1066 (7, 7, 7, 20) or make the recommended voltage adjustments.
Keep us posted.

Hey thanks. Removing one of the sticks was next on my test list. removed it today. well see how it goes. i mean like you said do i really need 16 gigs of memory? no.

its crazy seems like we have near the same setup and did the same tests. although prime95 ran for 8.5 hours with 0 errors for me. never did memtest86 though. should have been one of the first things.
 
well i decided to run memtest86 to see what i get. first i started with 12 gigs in with memtest86 v4.0 after 37% pass complete i got errors. so i took out all ram but one stick and started to test each one individually. each got errors between 33%-37% (about 3.5-4 mins). and one time i got a cpu hault error

then i tried using the old version of memtest86 v3.5b with one stick in and got no errors but i think it was only running one core of my cpu and not at the rams full speed or cache. (see pics).

then i tried all 16 gigs in with v3.5b and got a cpu halt error.

could this be a timing thing? I'm new to that.

Quite possibly.
You really need to check with the Ram Manufacturer for exact specs., but it looks like you might have some settings incorrect
I'm thinking 666.67 Mhz (9, 9, 9, 24) 1.5Volts but that's just my guess as your Ram seems similar to mine (DDR3-1333).
You might want to try to Load Setup Defaults, or Optimized Defaults or Performance Defaults or whatever option you might have with your board.
You may have a bad slot as well so make sure when you're testing individual sticks and getting errors you move the same stick to a different slot.
Good luck and keep us posted.

Did you try the ram in different mother board slots? Memtest tests both the ram and mobo slots (by elimination) and it is often hard to tell which it is.
 
can i just load one of the sticks in each slot while the others are empty? how do i test for bad slots?

\Yes you can and should test one stick in the first slot. If it tests OK use it to test the other slots. Repeat with all the ram till you know which sticks and which slots work.
 
well none of the sticks work in the first slot. can i not put a stick in the first slot and just one in the second (or 3rd or 4th)? i dont think ill get past POST.

Thanks :D
 
If none of the sticks work in the first slot, its probably the first slot. Usually mobo's take ram in slots one and three, then two and four. Check your mobo manual. Try a single stick in the other pair whatever it is. If successful add a second, etc.
 
I can answer that the AMD Gigabyte boards use slots 1+2 or 3+4
In the bios can you set you Vdimm to 1.65V and CPU NB Vid up one adjustment. Then test 1 stick in Mem Slot 1.

Gigabyte boards are good but they can sometimes take a lot of tweaking to get stable.
 
ok i put only one stick in slot 1. i went into bios and set CPU NB Vid + one adjustment. but i did not see where i could change the Vdimm.

I tried memtest anyways and still got errors at 34%.
 
Do you know anyone with a machine you can test the sticks in?
