New motherboard causing crashes

jollyshamrock · Sep 30, 2014

I bought a intel dp55wb and basically it crashes on the windows loading screen. I have a i5 670 and a geforce 750. I am using 2 4gig sticks of ddr3 1333ghz ram and when i remove 1 stick i no longer get black screen force restarts but blue screens instead. I have researched into this and i understand that i need to reinstall windows but i am unable to do so. I have a copy of windows on my memory stick but the system crashes even when i set the usb to boot first from the bios. So i am unable to reinstall because it crashes too fast. Also i should mention that there is no post beep sound but yet it still runs. Please give me a hand guys i just cant figure it out.

I'd remove every component taht is not nessesary for your system to boot into BIOS. Then test. Initially it seems to me that there is something wrong with either RAM or MB RAM slots. But other faulty components could also cause this. What is the BSOD message?

As a simple test, try removing any hard drives from the system and booting again. Does it still blue screen?

jollyshamrock · Sep 30, 2014

ok i tried your answers.
I removed everything that wasnt important including the hard drive and i got 4 beeps
then i tried it with the hard drive and got no beeps but i got the bsod. the code was IRQL_NOT_LESS_ORE_EQUAL
stop code was STOP: 0x00000A (x00000018, 0x0000001B, 0x00000000 , 0x8BAFF496
After this is tried bootin from the usb with the windows reinstall on it and i got this error message 0x00000000,0x00000001, 08BB5D164
then finally i tried to start windows repair and got this finall stop code : 0x00000C5 (0X0000000000000008, 0X0000000000000000, 0XFFFFF8000C1B68ED
sorry for all the codes, no idea if that will help or not.

Can you format the hdd in another system?? Then try again?

jollyshamrock · Sep 30, 2014

i just swap my motherboard with my old one, so i could easily format it now then try it.

Paul NZ · Sep 30, 2014

But wouldnt you have to reinstall something on it?? Or have you got windows on another hdd?

jollyshamrock · Sep 30, 2014

i have windows on a usb ready to install . Would that be alright?

Paul NZ · Sep 30, 2014

So that may help since it wont be the same mobo I suppose. If that doesnt work then the USB flash drive maybe the prob

jollyshamrock · Sep 30, 2014

its def not the usb. It still blue screens regardless of if the usb is in or not. Also is it not a big deal that it doesnt do a post beep?

Paul NZ · Sep 30, 2014

Depends some dont beep, but does it have a speaker in it?? If it doesnt there wont be any beeps

jollyshamrock · Sep 30, 2014

it has a speaker. It gives me beeps if there is not ram or if the hard drive isnt connected

Paul NZ · Sep 30, 2014

Maybe no beeps means its fine then. But something may still be wrong with something on it or the hdd, why its crashing

Magnus OnkliDonk · Sep 30, 2014

The "not less or equal BSOD" might be another hint in the direction of defect RAM or RAM-slot. But you have changed back to the old MB? Have you tried booting with one RAMstick at a time on that MB?

EDIT: Disregard that. Here's some info about that BSOD:

jollyshamrock · Sep 30, 2014

its windows 7 that im on atm and will be re installing

Magnus OnkliDonk · Oct 1, 2014

Probably not helping in any way but here's another thread about that BSOD:
http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_7-performance/blue-screen-of-death-locale-id-1033/01d77f17-af29-44c5-81a3-5ea179af4accAre you getting the BSOD before Windows 7 loads? That whould suggest HW failure..

Here's a suggestion from snother thread:

ok so i managed to fix it. It turns out it was the ram, i used the old ram i had and everything worked just fine. I guess either the new ram is faulty or its not compatable Q_Q. http://www.scan.co.uk/products/8gb-(2x4gb)-corsair-ddr3-xms3-pc3-10600-(1333)-non-ecc-unbuffered-cas-9-9-9-24-150v Thats the ram i think i have, would anyone be able to tell me if its compatable with my mobo?

Magnus OnkliDonk · Oct 1, 2014

It looks compatable. But for further info on the RAM on that MB, heres intels specs and info on it:
