Hi everybody,
I don't know what to do anymore.
It started in september. After my computer run without any problems for 1.5 years, I suddenly had bluescreens. So I started running tests. Memtest86+ produced one error each pass either on test #6 or test #8. I had the same error no mather which stick I left in. Just to make sure, I bought the exact same ram again (Corsair CML16GX3M4A1600C9) and tested it again, had exactly the same errors. So I assumed that the mainboard (Asus Sabertooth x79) was the problem. I sent it in and got a new one back after 5 weeks.
After I built it in again, the BSODs became more frequent (I built in the whole 32gb this time). So I started testing all the sticks seperately and only had errors with one stick, so I sent in the kit with this stick and built in the other kit. After a day, Windows always BSOD'd at startup. So, again, I run memtest86+ and had tons of errors. Sent in this kit, too.
I received two brandnew kits after a week or such, built everything in and it worked for a few days. Suddenly, a BSOD a day. Always when I booted up the computer for the first time, it took 5-30mins and I got a BSOD, after that it run without a problem for the whole day. Memtest86+ didn't schow any errors anymore, though.
A few days later, my graphiccard (Zotac GTX 680) died completely. The screen went blank and the fan run at full speed (sounded like a vaccuum cleaner.) I had this problem before, when I bought the computer. The graphiccard died the exact same way two times.
However, I sent it in, after 6 weeks I got my money back, paid some more and bought a Gainward GTX780Ti Phantom. Built it in, computer run without a problem for about an hour, then BSOD.
I read somewhere that the PSU could be the cause. So two days ago, I bought a new PSU. Went with a 1000watt Coolermaster. Had a 650watt Seasonic before.
Still BSODs. Random messages. While doing random things. Surfing alone can be enough. The computer even froze completely while watching a movie.
I run Memtest86+ again with no errors.
I don't know what to test or what to exchange anymore. Does anyone have an idea?
My rig:
Intel i7-3930k (not overclocked)
Asus Sabertooth x79
32gb Corsair Vengeance LP CML16GX3M4A1600C9
3x Samsung SSD 830, one on the x79 controller, 2 on the Marvel controller in raid 0
2TB Sata 3 HD
Gainward GTX780 Ti Phantom
Steinberg UR824
Novation Remote 49SL Mk2
Logitech G19
