Hi guys, wondering if you can help. I've recently throw some upgrades into my system prior to these bluescreens making me sad - an r9 290x, Samsung Evo 250GB SSD, Asus Xonar DG and a 750w Corsair PSU. I'm trying to find the culprit of this problem, but upgrading so many parts has made it quite tricky...
For background , the rest of the system is an AMD 8350, Gigabyte ga-78lmt-usb3 (I know, it's the last upgrade on my list), 16GB's of RAM, a WD Green 1TB HDD, a H100, 8 case fans (including the 4 in push/pull on the H100 ofc) - This stuff was all running absolutely 100% perfect , the things I have removed are a 600W OCZ PSU and a GTX 660.
I did not transfer the OS, I completely wiped my WD drive after backing up externally, and installed fresh Windows 8 on my system. I have since run all updates, to ensure the OS is completely up to date.
These BSOD's are happening intermittently - two times it has happened while I have been on the desktop - one of them happened a few minutes after I booted up my computer and was just casually browsing the internet, but most of the time they have happened to me while gaming - this is primarily what I use the computer for however, so although it points to the GPU 98% of my usage is while gaming.
I have tested everything to the best of my ability thus far
GPU - I have run both 3DMark and Heaven for over 30 minutes to test for GPU stability. Not only does it not crash, it looks so awesome. I have also played Battlefield for over an hour on it (max settings, 4x MSAA no vsync so stressing the card) as well as played for 5-6 hour sprints in FFXIV:ARR - granted that's not the most stressful of games though.
RAM - MEM test, 300% on all 16GB's. The system was running for hours while doing this.
SSD/HDD - I have used the Samsung provided tool on the SSD and it states the the SSD is 100% healthy. The HDD I am yet to test so will have to report back, but given that I was using it for 6 months and it was not touched at all (other than changing the SATA power over) during the upgrade process.
CPU - Prime95 ran for the duration of the last episode of The Walking Dead, no core/thread fails
Soundcard - Not sure how to test this if I'm completely honest. All of my audio is running through it, and I've disabled my onboard audio.
PSU - Again, not sure what I can do to test this - but it's not crapping out during benchmarks, so there's that.
So I just..I don't know. I've used bluescreenview to look at the dumps, but I've never dabbled in this sort of thing beyond stability checking on things. I've attached my latest dmp file, that happened not too long before I started typing this post. If anyone with a bit more knowledge than me could take a look I'd really appreciate any advice you could give.
Help me eight forums you are my only hope!
(Also, it wouldn't let me attach the .dmp file - I .rar'd it up, so if you do need me to give it to you another way (mediafire maybe?) then please just let me know.
