Vista x64 BSOD

Trifor · 06-18-2008, 05:52 PM

Hi guys I've looked almost everywhere on countless forums to try and solve my BSOD problem but I haven't been able to find anything as useful. Varying BSOD's have occurred, usually during some intensive process (or non-intensive in some cases, like browsing the internet). I am getting fed up with it, and the fact I bought eight gigs of RAM more than merits the reason I should be using 64-bit. I do not want to go back to 32-bit, but it's definitely one of the options.

My Setup is as follows.

PSU: Corsair HX-620
MOBO: Gigabyte EP35-DS3
CPU: Intel Xeon E3110 @ Stock 3GHZ
GPU: eVGA 8800GT Superclocked 512MB @ Stock 650/1900
RAM: 8192 MB of DDR2 (Corsair XMS2 PC8500/1066)
HDD: WD Cavier 500GB (OS) & WD Cavier 640GB (Storage)
OS: Windows Vista 64-bit

What do I need to include for this to be solved/diagnosed?

Here's the contents of my minidump folder if it'll help at all.

Additionally, I have run Memtest+ on each stick individually then each DIMM individually, and then with all sticks together with no errors at all. But suddenly I start actually using my PC - and it will BSOD without warning.

power supply
brand
wattage
check what voltage range the ram has and check what it's running at yopu may need to lift it

The powersupply info is there. It's the Corsair HX-620 which is 620Watts.
The RAM is running at 2.1v which is what it's default voltage is also i forgot to mention earlier but i'm also running default timings 5-5-5-15.
Should i up the DRAM voltage anymore than it already is?
Also do the minidump files help diagnose anything at all? I ran the dump debugger and in most of them it said VISTA_DRIVER_FAULT, I wish I had more knowledge to be able to decode and understand these dump files a bit better.

sorry missed it
the voltage is probably already at the top of it's range did you check on the corsair site
cannot read the dumps the bsod usually indicates which driver

Can't seem to find anywhere on the Corsair site a voltage range. All the spec sheets just say the tested speed and voltage being 5-5-5-15 and 2.1v. The BSOD's are all varying so I don't think it can be pin-pointed at one driver, sometimes it's win32k.sys other times it the IRQL_LESS and other times it's the PAGED_FAULT.

with multiple different bsod error messages the first thing i look at is the psu
i would not have used less than a 650w preferably 750w
post the bsod error messages in full
i run the xms on 2.1v
