I built my machine and was loving it for the first week. I had almost NO issues, and the issues I had i was able to iron out. But now I've been having some severe difficulties. Every time I think i have something fixed another problem comes up and when i fix that, the old problem resurfaces. I have gotten BSOD's, games crashing that were working before, Windows will hang, and sometimes things will just plain slow down.
My Rig:
Windows 7 Home Premium 64 Bit
AMD Athlon II x3 445
MSI 870-G45 (770 Chipset)
MSI GTX 460 Cylcone
4GB (2x2) G. Skill Ripjaw series 1600
64GB Kingston SSD (My boot drive)
Corsiar Builder Series 500 Watt PSU
150+750GB HDD
The first thing i did when i got it all together was change the RAID mode to ACHI, and made it second on the boot list, the first being the disk drive... Then I proceeded with the window install.
I OC'ed my memory to default settings at the very beginning (After I made sure everything was running smooth) and when it wasn't stable at stock voltage, i upped it to 1.65. Was stable and everything was fine. When my BSOD's/Random freezing started that was the first thing I checked. It passed memtest 2 times over (And i am currently testing with it having gone over the RAM 4 times) with NO errors. None.
CPU has passed Prime95 for several hours about 4 times. Don't think its a CPU problem... And have checked the temps. The hottest was 64 C's and that was what i guess is the Northbridge...
So i went to my video card since i was freezing in 3d environments, so maybe it was some crazy Driver thing, or something was wrong with the video card. So I tested with Furmark (25 Min) and things were going good UNTILL i closed it. About 4 seconds after closing Furmark the computer hung. So i cleaned the drivers by uninstalling them, booting into safe mode and running the driver cleaner software in Admin mode. Then after the drivers were cleaned off the drive, I installed a earlier version from the MSI website. The problem with closing Furmark/Some games vanished. For a whole week it ran great besides games sometimes crashing to desktop with the not responding message.
To fix this i disabled all my startup with MSCONFIG, and that has seemed to do the trick... For now
. Also have changed from MSE (Which fixed a freezing on startup problem-had that on my Dell for some reason...) to AVG (Which would made the computer hang if I tried to change the scan priorities while in a scan) to Avira. Avira seems to be doing fine .
Then someone used my computer last night and they got a BSOD (Avira was installed after the BSOD). From what they told me they were listening to music through iTunes 64 Bit and surfing the web with Chrome. When Windows came up I got a message saying Windows has recovered from a serious error blah blah blah. This was the information it had:

Sadly I wasn't there to see the BSOD to tell ya what it told me... I have rebuilt several computers and they have all ran great and i have asked many a question here so thought I knew what I was doing.... Guess not :lol: .
