Hi

I recently got a new graphics card and I have been having problems since then. I have set overclocking mode to XMP. The spec of my pc is:

~ Intel Core i7 3820 | ASUS RAMPAGE IV EXTREME ~
~ Corsair 16GB Dominator Platinum 2400MHz ~
~ Samsung 830 256GB SSD |Vertex 4 128GB SSD ~
~ Agility 3 120GB SSD | Asus Viper-X 290 GPU ~
~ 1250W OCZ PSU ~

I am trying to use XMP to run the ram at 1866MHz. The cpu itself is at stock. I had to disable the turbo mode because it was giving BSOD all the time. The problem was reduced to a certain extent but I still keep getting BSOD after an hour of gaming. I have tried to manually set the vcore and dram voltages. I keep getting error message 0x1E. When I increase the vcore than I get 0xD1. The D1 message also says DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL.The BSOD keeps switching between these two error messages. I have been trying for over a day now to get my system stable just using stock settings. I have no idea what is going on.

Please help

Device manager shows everything is fine. 290 drivers are up to date. I've tried resetting bios and same problem was there. Is there a software that I can use to remove unwanted drivers etc which will get rid of this error?

I am starting to think that I will just have to re-install windows to debug this problem. This is the third continuous day I am working on this and still got no where.

Yes, I just did that and now running prime95.

Everything is set to auto. Turbo mode is enabled. Overclocking mode is XMP and ram is set to 1866Mhz. The reason I am running prime 95 is because it gives BSOD during games and I don't want my pc to crash in the middle of gaming. Now let's see if it still gives BSOD

Okay regardless of whether I set the voltages myself or leave it to auto, the computer crashes at the exact same test point everytime. I am running prime95 blend test. When the test gets to the following stage it crashes:

Test 1, 4000 Lucas-Lehmer iterations of M18474367 using AVX FFT length 960K, Pass1 =768, Pass2=1280.

It takes about an hour to get to this point.

The error as I mentioned previously is:

DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL

0X00000000D1

storport.sys - Address FFFFF8800197E0D2 base at FFFFF8800197D000, DateStamp 52f04432

I upgraded all the storage related drivers and also uninstalled AI suite which some people reported causes BSOD issues and now prime95 has gone past the stage where it was crashing. I can't be 100% sure that everything is fine but it is at least shown progress from where I've been stuck for days. I will keep this running for another few hours and than do a gaming test on the system.
