Windows 7 Newly built PC, regular BSOD of varying kinds

[studio1one]

New PC I built is getting regular BSOD errors. Sometimes driver, sometimes other errors, I thought it was the motherboard at first after trying the RAM and chip in a different PC and not finding the same issues and swapped it but still getting the errors.

I have attached all the necessary gubbins to this mail but a quick rundown

Board: Gigabyte 970-A-DS3Link RemovedLink Removed

Chip AMD FXII 3.3ghz hexacore

RAM: AMD 2x4GB 1600 DDR3

Graphics: AMD Radeon 6600

Network: TP link PCI 150MBPS n

Any advice greatly received.

Thanks a lot in advance

It seems like you are experiencing frequent BSOD (Blue Screen of Death) errors on the new PC you built. Given that you've already tested the RAM and chip in a different PC without issues, it's a good start to troubleshooting the problem. Here are some steps you can take to address the BSOD errors:

1. Update Drivers: Ensure that all your drivers are up to date, especially graphics, chipset, and network drivers. Outdated drivers can often cause BSOD errors.
2. Check for Overheating: Make sure that your PC is not overheating. Overheating can cause hardware components to fail, leading to BSOD errors. Ensure that your CPU cooler is installed properly and that all fans are working.
3. Check for Hardware Issues: Although you tested the RAM and chip in a different PC, it's still worth running hardware diagnostics on your components. You can use tools like MemTest86 for RAM testing and Prime95 for CPU testing.
4. Remove Peripheral Devices: Try disconnecting all unnecessary devices and peripherals from your PC and see if the BSOD errors persist. Sometimes, faulty devices can cause system instability.
5. Check System Logs: Check the Event Viewer in Windows to identify what is causing the BSOD errors. Look for critical errors or warnings that might provide more information on the issue.
6. BIOS Update: Make sure your motherboard's BIOS is up to date. A BIOS update can sometimes resolve compatibility issues and improve system stability.
7. Reinstall Windows: If none of the above steps work, consider reinstalling Windows. Sometimes a fresh installation can resolve persistent software-related issues. Given the components you listed, here are some specific areas you can focus on for driver updates:
   • Graphics Card (AMD Radeon 6600): Update to the latest AMD graphics drivers.
   • Networking (TP-Link PCI 150MBPS): Check for driver updates for the network adapter.
   After trying these steps, monitor your system to see if the BSOD errors persist. If they do, it might be helpful to provide the error codes or messages from the BSOD screen for further analysis. Feel free to reach out if you need further assistance or if you have any more details about the specific error messages you're receiving.
