Hello everyone,
I recently came into a small sum of money and decided to spend some of it on a new gaming HTPC. The parts I bought were:
CASE: Silverstone GD06
MOBO: Asus P8P67-M Pro
CPU: Intel Core i7 2600K
RAM: Corsair Vengeance DDR3-1600 (4GB x 4)
GFX: MSI Twin Frozr III 6950
SSD: OCZ-Vertex2 128GB
I'm also using a 2TB HDD and 42" Sharp TV. USB peripherals (I'm trying to include everything here, I know these don't count for much) are a PS3 webcam, Logitech DiNovo Edge, and 360 controller adapter. Network connection is wired.
Anyway, I have been getting intermittent and regular bluescreens, and they are always the same:
Problem signature:
Problem Event Name: BlueScreen
OS Version: 6.1.7600.2.0.0.256.1
Locale ID: 2057
Additional information about the problem:
BCCode: 101
BCP1: 0000000000000019
BCP2: 0000000000000000
BCP3: FFFFF88003088180
BCP4: 0000000000000005
OS Version: 6_1_7600
Service Pack: 0_0
Product: 256_1
It happens more often during gaming or other intensive tasks (crashed upon running the DJ software Traktor in one instance), it's likely to happen many times in a row upon forcing a restart, and it never seems to happen when the computer is idling.
After plenty of research I found that error 0x101 is normally to do with your CPU's vcore voltage - my mobo claims to have auto-OCing built in although I have very specifically left this disabled while I try and work out where all the crashing is coming from by leaving things at stock, and I have tried upping the voltage a small amount to see if things improve. I know it isn't the PSU - it's happened with 3 seperate ones. Last week I reached the end of my wit and drove the 50 miles to the brick and mortar store to have the parts tested and broken parts replaced - apparently no faults were found...
I can provide screenshots of anything you'd require from CPU-Z and the like. I consider myself an intermediate-advanced user (I'm a PHP developer and sound technician, I know my way around building a PC, but next to nothing about overclocking and voltages).
Thanks for the help, I really want to be able to immerse myself in a good game or film but at the moment it feels like I have an overpriced glorified paperweight.
