Yeah the error code was that there was a problem in the system hardware. and then under it it was saying that it could be something i installed latelly i hadnt installed anything that day, but i did add 8gb corsair memory i accidently ordered. so i put in the system and took out the memory i originally had which was 16 gb corsair memory. I switched to see if my memory was the problem. But July 15 at night it was the first time it blue screened ever. This is My first Build Ever and i built it on June 10. I am Trying to Be as Detailed As i can right know. Thank You

try reinstalling os


SixSamurai I thought it was origianally the hard drive because a friend of mine told me to try to try and reinstall the OS. I Had a 750 gb HDD orginally but it was freezing back then to so instead of reinstalling the os I god a 1tb Hard Drive that i wanted and installed the OS there but i back stuff up on an external Hard drive, i let windows choose(big MISTAKE) when i let it choose it was only Windows files and what if it brought a corrupted file From the hard drive. the 750 gb was orginally in this computer By the way but i didnt want it so i just bought the 1 tb . Thank You

I think I fixed it was a noob mistake I will c how the compute runs for a few days and if it freezes I will post it. What happened was the ram slots are like DDR3 4, 2, 3, 1 that's how the slots are numbered.I put the ram in the 4 and 3 ram slots and the memory need to be in the DDR3 4 and 2 slots to work it was a noob mistake on my part for not consulting the manual. The ram needed to be along side radiotherapy not in the color coated slots I am just gonna see how it runs for a few days and c if it freezes. Thank u guys for trying to help oh and the old HDD that I had isn't dead I have but I am using it as a back up drive if anything happens to my current one

It blue screened only once it hasn't done anything major now I look in the manual I saw that it only shows it being tested in windows 8 but I put windows 7 on my computer I think the drivers that came with the mobo were only for windows 8 so today I downloaded windows 7 drivers and It seemed like it overwrites the old driver because I checked in programs and features of the control panel. Oh and I checked the temps of my cpu and it said it was around 40 to 43 Celsius with a different program I will try it with yours and see and I will post the results tomorrow
Ps: if I have the drivers for a wrong version of windows could that make my computer freeze. Thanks u guys for helping me

It said the it was in the system hardware because it said that if u added new hardware u must take it out as I said before I originally had 16 gb of corsair memory and I thought the ram was the problem so I switched it with a 8 gb of corsair memory and it did that error code when the 8 gb of ram were in so I took it out and put the ram I had orginally back into the mobo because it still froze. I hope this makes sense. The error code said it was in the system hardware but recently I switched the ram to 8 gb hut now I switched it back to 16 gb and no blue screens. It only blue screened once when put in the 8 gb of ram and took out the 16 gb of ram.it has not blue screened since

yeah you dont want windows 8 drivers if your running windows 7.could definitely be a driver conflict.if it bluescreens again at least write down the error code tho.

Yeah Well it Froze For Like Between 5-10 seconds today and i read the mobo manual wrong on the ram. it need to be the way it was before imagine the ones are the ram modules.and the L's are empty ram slots

this is how it needs to be: l 1 l 1
it hasnt blue screened at all. thank for ur help i would apreciate it oh and another thing my ram from when i first built my computer the ram speed was at 1333 and it say on the ram the baseclock is 1600. thank u

July 19, 2013 6:34:58 PM

so the ram speed of 1333mhz is taken from system information i take it.and the ram itself says 1600? go into your bios and check your supported ram frequency.if there is an option to change it to 1600mhz you can change that.

My temps In MY Build:
GPU: 43-47 C Usually at 45C
Temp1: 40C
Temp2: 49C
Temp3:-128C
HD0: 38C
Temp1:28C
Temp2:30C
Core 0: 24-31C
Core 1:24-35C

I hope These Temperatures Help I just need to say that i only have 3 fans, 1 is connected to the motherboard and its 1031-1038 Rpm, and the other 2 fans are connected with molex connectors. Oh and from Temp 3 Down it has a Blue Arrow Going down. The Temps flux a little so i hope this helps thank you

sure nothing wrong with those temps.well,you said your ram was incorrectly placed.maybe that was it.it certainly seems hardware or driver related.if it bluescreens again get the error code to be sure.

When I turned the memory to 1600 mHz it when to my desktop then said to restart to configure these changes. Then when it finally restarted it went to my desktop opened speedfan and it froze. one of those time i had to restart my computer. i Changed my ram back to 1333 mhz. Oh and my temp 3 stayed the same. i am wondering can the source of my freezing be from my graphics card because if it is i willing to try the onboard graphics and see if it freezes. please respond Thank u

aldan i think i found a solution to my problem. i think that my graphics card is the reason why my computer freezes because when it freezes the picture freezes but when i was in a skype call i was still able to talk and hear my friend while my computer frozen so i think it is the graphics card i just need to double check this with you guys. oh and i think my computer blue screened is because before i added the 8 gb corsair memory i accidentally dropped it on my desk i thought it was ok i guess it wasn't. i just wanted to double check this theory with u guys. Please Respond Thank you

sounds plausible.do you have onboard video? if you do you can remove the card and use onboard to see if it fixes the problem.

Yes i do i just haven't had time to do it yet i will try and do it tonight i have all the driver up to date so i am able to use the onboard graphics.

I opened two programs skype, steam and google chrome but not at the same time. It usually freezes for 5-10 Seconds when i am browsing the internet usually freezes during that time. Sometimes it freezes in a game but when its starting. but it also froze again a second time after i put my graphics card backing when i started windows it froze at the screen saying welcome. Just to clarify it froze 2 times today one without the graphics Card (onboard graphics) and with the graphics card

My friend told me to download FireFox and its a lot better and faster. chrome used to load up slow for me and thats where it froze for ten seconds. the same thing also happened on my friends computer with the freezing on google chrome. I hope this will fix my problem

What do u Suggest that i do, You are probably right because when i changed my ram to 1600 mhz then my computer started up and when it went to the desktop background it froze and i had to restart it. Do U have any ideas
on what it might be because if i remember correctly the day i installed the network card is the day it started freezing because i used a usb wireless networking product and i had that for a few days and it was too slow so then i got the pci network card.
Sorry that i am going all over the place, its because i am stressing out over this which is probably the simplest answer too.Thank U

Should I uninstall the drivers from the wireless card and take it out right before I plug my computer into my router. Correct

I am using Firefox too its seems to work a lot better than chrome on my computer and seems be easier on my computer I think I need to beef the ram back up 1600 kHz to actually test it because if that was the problem my computer should not freeze at all if the ram is at its baseclock
