Greetings. I have just built my first computer and though it started up first time I have been plagued by BSOD and I can't seem to narrow it down. My components are below. After my first problem I disassembled the whole thing and rebuilt it, did a breadbox build with beep tests, Windows 7 installed fine, but I seem to get a BSOD between 1 minute to 24 hours of being on (leaving it to update overnight). It does seem more frequent if I am trying to do a lot on the computer. Even doing the windows updates that have to do with stability didn't help.
BSOD used to site win32k.sys as the problem and now is saying it is MEMORY_MANAGER. I have tried to run a memtest but it crashes the BIOS and restarts after about 5 minutes with both sticks of ram in either slot, alone or together in the exact same way. I have updated the BIOS, every driver I can find (though my driver detect program says some chipset driver is out of date that I can't find anywhere).
I guess I have narrowed it down to driver, Ram, or Mobo. I eliminated CPU overheat because even when playing a game on ultra graphics it barely heated my quad core. Messing around in the BIOS I have noticed I can't manually set the RAM voltage to 1.9v which Corsair reccomends so I have been leaving everything auto (which defaults to 13.33 9 9 9 24 but doesn't show voltage number, just the word auto). I have been thinking the mobo is the problem because memtest failed and crashed in the exact same way for both sticks and that struck me as odd, unless I got two bad sticks. Maybe you guys can help - I would really appreciate it.
Components:
Motherboard: Biostar H61MHV
CPU: Intel i5 3470 quad core
RAM: Corsair XMS3 DDR3 8 gb (2x 4gb)
Video Card: GTX 650 Ti.
PSU: ULTRA 600W
HDD: Seagate 500gb
