Hi all,
I posted to Seven Forums a while back regarding BSOD problems I was having. I explained I had recently installed new hardware without reinstalling Windows, and was advised that a first step would be to reinstall the OS. You can find those posts (and logs) here:
Various Blue Screens of Death after New Hardware Installation - Windows 7 Forums
I have finally installed Windows 8, and did a clean install. My Win7 installation is on a second hard drive, and I get the OS boot selection on startup.
However, I am still getting BSOD errors! Mostly they are SYSTEM_SERVICE_EXCEPTION errors, but one reports being due to ESET NOD32, and another is IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL. There were two others I believe, but I did not have the logging set up correctly at the time.
Additionally, I discovered that I had mistakenly installed my RAM incorrectly when building the machine. The MB instructions call for the DIMM to be installed in A2 and B2, then A1 and B1. (I only have two sticks). I had mistakenly installed them in A1 and B1, leaving the instructed slots empty. Now, this has NOT prevented me from booting, but when I discovered this I switched them to the proper slots hoping it would fix the problem.
However, the most recent BSOD dated 11/11/2012 happened AFTER the DIMM was properly installed.
I have run the Windows Memory check tool that is available in the W8 boot selector, and it passes without any issues (prior to correctly installing the memory!)
I'm hoping that you guys can take a look at these and offer me any suggestions. :-\ This is becoming really frustrating, and if it's a hardware error I'd really like to know so I can replace the bad parts.
The minidumps are all attached (via the SevenForums utility) - I have some complete memory dumps as well, if you require any of those to look at.
Thank you!!
-Philip
