Hello everyone. I've been having an issue for the past couple weeks that in the last few days has become increasingly annoying. I began having BSODs once every day or every couple days a couple weeks ago. At first I thought it was an HDD issue and, because I needed an upgrade/more space anyway, I bought a new 240gb PNY SSD and a 3TB Seagate HDD. At the same time I also bought an XFX R9 280X to replace my aging XFX HD 5850. I took my existing 1TB drive out of the equation all together and have not connected it since putting in the SSD and new HDD. In addition to the 3TB Seagate I also have a 650(?)gb HDD hooked up (it's older) not in RAID for that extra bit of storage should I need it. Unfortunately this didn't solve my problem. I should also note that the dumps I've uploaded begin at this time, right after the fresh Windows 7 install on the new SSD.
After reading up on common BSOD causes I decided to memchek my 2x4gb sticks of Corsair RAM. I didn't get any errors, but decided to replace those while I was at it. I went out and got a 2x8gb kit of Patriot Viper 3 DDR3 1866mhz RAM, threw it in and still continued to get BSODs. I even fiddled around with the timings and settings in my BIOS, got more BSODs, returned them to normal and still got BSODs. Since then I've ensured all of my drivers have been updated (using SlimDrivers) and all Windows 7 updates (including SP1 and all updates therein) have been installed. Is something wrong with my Mobo? My CPU? Those and my PSU are the only parts I haven't replaced. Yesterday morning I finally thought I had everything locked down and fixed and that it was just a Windows Update issue because that's when I finished all of the updates, but I just got another BSOD almost 24hrs later (this time after a long while of watching video on my LCD TV and playing WoW on my monitor). It did take far longer for my machine to crap out this time than the rest, but it did nonetheless.
My system specs are:
Case: Cooler Master RC-932-KKA3-GP HAF 932 Full Tower Case and Pre-installed eXtreme 700W Power Supply
CPU: AMD HDE00ZFBGRBOX Phenom II X6 1100T Black Edition Processor - Six Core, 6MB L3 Cache, 3MB L2 Cache, 3.30GHz, Socket AM3, 125W, Fan, Unlocked, Retail
MOBO: ASUS Crosshair IV Formula Motherboard - AMD 890FX, Socket AM3, ATX, DDR3, USB 3.0, RAID, SATA 6.0GB/s
RAM: Viper 3 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR3 1866MHz (PC3-15000) Dual Channel Memory Kit (PV316G186C0K)
GPU: XFX Radeon R9 280X Double Dissipation 3GB GDDR5, PCI-Express 3.0 (x16), AMD CrossFire - R9-280X-TDFD
SSD: PNY XLR8 240GB Solid State Drive - 240GB, 2.5", SATA III 6Gbps, up to 500MB/s Max Read, up to 450MB/s Max Write - SSD9SC240GMDA-RB
HDD: Seagate ST3000DM001 Barracuda 7200.14 Hard Drive - 3TB, SATA III (6Gb/s), 3.5", 7200RPM, 64MB
Monitors:
- Two 22" Acer LCD Monitors, both connected through the DVI ports on my card with one using a DVI-VGA adapter because I only have one DVI cable (only the TV and main monitor, the one with the DVI cable, are on at any time because I don't have an HDMI->Mini Displayport adapter yet so I just keep the one monitor and TV on at a time).
- 40" Samsung LCD TV, connected through the HDMI port on my card (it's an older TV, 6 or 7 years old)
Peripherals:
- Razer Naga mouse
- Logitech G510 Keyboard
- Logitech G930 Headset
- Logitech G51 Surround Sound Speaker System (old but in good condition)
Here are all of my dumps plus a CPU-Z report on my computer.
I realize you guys probably don't need all of this information but I'm absolutely at my wit's end and could really use some insight from people who actually know what they're doing so I figured I'd be as thorough as possible.
Thanks very much in advance,
Rob
