New build Asrock Z77 extreme 4 BSOD

[zxcv106106]

Hi Guys, This is my first post in this forum, and I have to say this forum help me A LOT when I'm building my computer.

I recently build a desktop, and it was running great for almost 3 weeks now with some heavy gaming such as Devil May Cry (The

newest one), death space.

This weekend I play some Tera online for almost six hours straight, and my desktop suddenly decide to BSOD, and I tried twice,

and it BSOD twice as well. It ONLY happening while I'm Gaming I believe. I have read many thread, and I don't know where

should be the first component I should check.....Six hours of gaming Tera made my computer a bit warm, but not Hot. and I did

play Devil May cry, and dead space for long too, and it didn't die on me(That's two weeks ago), and recently BSOD playing on

Tera online. I run all the game in best resolution. and I believe Tera online won't drain the GPU as much compared to Dead space

or Devil May Cry. I will provide as much information about my computer below, also the research I did on my own before I post

this thread.
------------------------------------------------------
My Desktop Build

Intel core i5 3570k default fan no OC

Window 7 64 bit Ultimate.

Asrock Z77 extreme 4

Cosair Vengeance 8GB DDR3 1600 (2x4GB) running dual channel

EVGA Geforce GTX650 ti 2GB

Cosair TX650M (650W) PSU

2 WD Blue HDD SATA 3 6.0/GBS

All the driver is the lastest and up to date. except the mobo Bios. I did not flash it because my PC was running awesome for

the first two weeks until now.

-------------------------------------------------

I did not get a chance to stop the BSOD, but I did go to the event log for some error detail, here is the detailed

I dono if my assumption is correct, but the bug check may indicate Ram issue?

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

What have I done so far?

I did not do much. ( more like nothing)

I run the WD HDD smart quick test, HDD is fine. no error

run checkdisk in cmd mode, still everything is fine.
---------------------------------------------------------------------

Any help is greatly appreciated. I'm learning every step of the way

Thank you all in advanced.

When does the bsod happen. When did it start and does this start correlate with OC/Changes of some sort. Most people say I have all my drivers uptodate with service packs and visual packs however usually they don't and that can cause bsods. We'll assume you are not one of those hypothetical people, and work on getting these basic questions answered before I can brainstorm any further.

 

[zxcv106106]

The BSOD happened After two weeks I finish build my computer. I did a lot of

gaming in those week, and it was totoally fine. However, just yesterday, I play Tera

online for almost six hours, and it began bsod. (did not happen at the beginning of

the first 4-5 hours) First bsod it restart itself of course, and I play Tera online again,

and after half hours, computer decide to BSOD again. I did not OC anything in this

build. Everything is default (unless mobo OC RAM itself?) I read some posts that

some mobo OC hardware when you set it to auto. Again, it only happens when I'm

gaming. If I dont game, computer work just fine.

I guess I can try to get into Bios, and maybe set the Ram voltage and timing

manually? That's my first thought while searching the answer myself. Read some

posts and some ppl have their mobo auto on Ram, and it may cause problems?

My ram timing is 9-9-9-24 with 1.5V FYI.

Just a little thought.

Thank you!

Perhaps your video card is overheating. You are crashing in gaming sessions which indicates either video card/processor/power supply. What's your build spec? These kind of things are hard to diagnose so it will require a lot of tinkering. Try googling the error code on your next bsod.

 

[zxcv106106]

Yea, I will google my bsod code next time when I got bsod (hope not)

I have my specific build up there, but I will list below again if you don't mind

Well you are using a stock heatsink, and probably didn't use any aftermarket thermal paste. I would grab a temperature program and launch tera. Monitor temps before you BS'od lol to see if we can say, ok there's the problem, my i5 is 110C and while you're at it, take a look at your gtx650's temps. The card shouldn't really crash you even if it is a 1fan model as those can really handle a lot of heat. If you crash and your temps were good, then I would guess its software related, do you bsod in other games? PSU would follow, and finally, a deep stretch, but the ram as the last guess.

GL, sorry I can't be of more help.

 

[zxcv106106]

I believe if CPU overheat, it will shut down the computer instead of BSOD my computer.

I didn't use a aftermartket heatsink because I did not OC anything.

So I will check CPU first> Graphic card>PSU> and lastly Ram.

Can you suggest any good software for monitor the temp? I have HW monitor...dono if it's legit enough....

Thanks.

I use AMD overdrive which might or might not work with intel processors, I don't remember. HWmonitor isn't bad though I have used that before, it's just not as clean as AMD's overdrive.
