Freezing, Black Screens, and BSODs

Hello. I've been having issues with my self-built PC for a very long time - that being freezing and black screens occurring, mostly when playing games. When they occur, the pressing buttons on they keyboard, including modifiers like Num-lock have no effect. The indicators on the keyboard don’t change. Sometimes, the sounds being played will loop. These also don’t appear in the Event Log.

The reason it’s taken me so long to post about this is that these issues are rare, and occur perhaps once every few days. This makes troubleshooting very time consuming. As I also played around with overclocking my system, I’ve always thought that was the cause, adjusted some settings, and went back to using my PC. That or the infamous 290X memory issue. Only I recently RMAed my card because it wasn’t producing any video output. The issue occurs while using the replacement card too.

Something new happened today – I got a 0x7c BSOD, with the parameter 0x8. This happened while I was afk, and running Folding@Home. Microsoft’s website suggests that this is likely caused by a hardware issue, the likely culprit being the RAM. Up till now, I’ve only 0x124 BSODs, which seem to be related to instability from overclocking.
In my troubleshooting steps, I reset all my settings to stock – stock CPU and GPU speeds, and enabled the XMP profile for my RAM. Later that day, my PC froze at the F@H screensaver. With the same settings, the system will happily pass MemTest86 V6.

This is all from a system that will gladly run Aida64’s stress test overnight while overclocked. Admittedly, Haswell’s memory dividers means that the running the RAM at XMP speeds results in instability while at high CPU clocks.

I’m not sure if this is related, but I also see weird artifacting in Firefox from time to time. This is extremely rare, and happens on a monthly basis. I’ve attached an image of what this looks like.

EDIT: I can now see that you have both parts of nvidia and of AMD drivers present. Please remove them both completely and install AMD Omega driver.

Thanks for the fast reply!

I have the Intel integrated graphics disabled in the BIOS, so I went ahead and removed the Intel drivers.

I had run the uninstaller for the Nvidia drivers when I installed my AMD graphics card. Strange that there's still leftover drivers. I've uninstalled that and the Intel graphics from the hidden devices in Device Manager.

I've uninstalled GPU-Z and the Gigabyte utilities. I couldn't find anything about the Nvidia streaming service in services.msc, but I have uninstalled Nvidia Grid in case that's where it was from.

I'm running the latest 14.12 AMD drivers. My PC is clean and thermal performance under load is great - 55°C on the CPU, and 80°C on the GPU.

I'm not sure why there's lots of blank text files in my report. I'm using the SF Debug tool from the pinned thread as per the instructions. Do I need to do something else for Windows 8?

Hopefully these changes will have helped, though I won't be able to tell until later. I'll update this thread with my results!

Several minidumps indicate a problem with your CPU. Test it with a Blend test in Prime95 please. http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/100352-hardware-stress-test-prime95.html

Those BSOD's occurred while I was experimenting with overclocking my CPU - something to be expected.

I've since restored the stock settings for my CPU, so that shouldn't be an issue. Do you want to me to run Prime95 regardless?

I decided to revisit the memory, in case that was the issue. Guess what - the same exact memory address failed 5 out of 20 MemTest runs.

I've attached a screenshot of the report here:

Seems like this could very much be an issue with the RAM?

I borrowed some RAM from a friend to use while I'm waiting for mine.

I had a few games freeze while I was playing them, though I could alt-tab out to the desktop and continue using my PC. Not sure if this is related to the other issues I've been having.

I've had another black screen occur after I left my computer on and came back about 10 minutes later. Strangely, I found that if I wait long enough, pressing buttons like Num lock on my keyboard will toggle Num lock as expected, and I can move my mouse around.

I plan to run some more Memtest on this RAM, to see if there's an issue with my CPU or motherboard. In the mean time, is there anything else I can try?

Check temperatures while playing games. Is your PC clean of dust? Is your GPU powerful enough to run those games?

I've just had another black screen occur when I left my PC running F@h for about an hour. This time, it was completely frozen again, so pressing Num lock did nothing.

I've continued trying to change things to troubleshoot the issue.

Uninstalling Speedfan, and as a result, letting everything run on auto fan speeds increases the frequency of the black screens.

When these black screens occur, the speed of the graphics card fan changes dramatically, either increasing or decreasing from what it was running at.

I've revisited the cause of the issue being the graphics card. To see if the issue was the 290X black screening problem, I installed MSI Afterburner, and added a +25 mV offset the the GPU core voltage. When running F@H, the black screen happened again, only this time Windows apparently had BSOD to go along with that. Unsurprisingly, the 0x116 indicates some problem with the video card driver.

I'll keep trying things, and maybe load test with something other than F@H, to see if F@H is the cause of the issue.

The quickest test would be to get a nVidia card and try it. Is that a possibility for you? Bear in mind that AMD's drivers would have to be completely removed.
