Share

So i just bought a new HDD cuz my old one was rly old and i've had a lot of BSODs lately so i through its from the old HDD so i just bought a new one but the problems still occur randomly
problems:
-randomly freezing
-randomly freezing and a BSOD afterwards

i've ran a memorytest using the windows 7 disk - no errors found
i've also tried swapping my RAM on the other slots still occuring
atm i am using safe mode with networking just to make sure i dont freeze while asking for my problem because its irritating as hell

specs:
MB - ASUS P5KPL-SE
RAM - 1x2GB DDR2 800MHz Kingston
Video - Gygabite 9600GT ( silent edition aka just a radiator no fan)
CPU - Intel Core Duo 6500
new HDD - WD Caviar Green 2TB


EDIT: also it usually crashes when i watch videos but it doesn't now when i am in Safe Mode

the hard drive is brand new 1 day old the old one was faulty so i recently bought the new HDD and i installed win7 clean on it

EDIT: also im still in safe mode and no crashes or freezes yet so it probably is faulty drivers in my opinion

Hi :) 

In my shops we TEST every hard drive as they arrive... from couriers... around 20% fail...even though BRAND NEW....

Test it...

All the best Brett :)

Go to Windows 7 Action Centre, Maintenance Tab, and View Reliability History. Post back any Critical Events at a time when you had a blue screen.

I think you should have a look at your Graphics Card Drivers. Unfortunately your motherboard does not have onboard Graphics.

Also, if you have a spare PSU, it will be a good idea to switch and test.

What other Rams have you tried ? I can see your motherboard supports Dual Channels Ram modules. I will suggest you find different brands of Ram if you haven't already.

1. Find a spare PSU, install and test
2. Find a good driver Uninstaller, completely remove video driver then allow windows to install a default one on startup
3. Try Dual channel Rams or a different brand of Ram

Yes that's fine. I believe this is a Ram issue. Have you tried what I suggested above ?

A lot of people with the Gygabite 96XX Graphics Cards have the issue and I'm not sure if it is indeed the Ram on the Card or Actual Ram Modules on the PC causing this.

Please follow my suggestions from above and also make sure you have the most current chipset driver and other updates for your motherboard

ill go swap my ram stick tomorrow with a new one because i still have a warranty

Nedal0 said:
Please do that let me know if anything changes


Since the service center had to test it before they could replace it their tests came back negative aka they had no problems whatsoever with the ram stick - they ran memorytest and it came back w/o errors i ran it on my pc and it had errors on the 5th pass. they ran prime95 no errors... i ran prime95 insta bsod....

BSOD usually cause by hardware or driver error. How did you download your OS? Did you have clean start? I suggest you update all your drive again. Easier if you just re-download win 7, and perform an update.

By looking at your report, there might be a problem with your RAM.

I'm not surprised the Service Center did not find anything. They never do :) . Did the PC BSOD whiles they had it ? My guess is they probably will not tell you such info.


well since its a company that i know and i have a minor in IT, they told me what i did but it strange cuz when i am in safe mode its working just fine ( doesnt crash on movies/clips ), but when i am not it crashes like crazy

The crashing during videos should be a Video Driver issue. Let me suggest one thing. Please install this codec pack and lets see what happens.

Install the Klite Codec Pack from the link below :

http://codecguide.com/

Also if there is any previous history with the PC we don't know about, now will be a good time to let us know. Someone had a similar issue elsewhere and we tried helping for at least a full month only to realize his brother swapped his Heat Sink and that was the issue. To be honest, that was a total waste of time but we all learn from these things I guess.

I am with Klite and still the same problem i went to the service yesterday and i let em inspect my video card and no errors there so the things left are the MB, PSU or the CPU
Windows 7 Expert

With you not getting errors or lockups in Safe Mode something is loading up in normal mode and causing the BSODs.

It's time you take a look at everything running and starting up when your computer does.

I would recommend using Autoruns.

Not sure what all those things are? Go to HERE for help with identifying those pesky startup items.

This may not help but it's somewhere to start simple.
