NMI: Memory check/ iochk

[JNUKZ]

Hello everyone!

I will try to explain the best I can:
2.5 months ago, my motherboard went to RMA because it was giving BSOD/ freezes all the time until it died. 2 days ago I picked up the pc and they gave me a new MB, which was supposed to be fixed, but soon it started to have freezes and this BSOD:
NMI: Memory check/ iochk
So I called to the store which I bought my pc and gave me this "new motherboard", and they said it was to RMA again, but to take the GPU and run only with onboard gpu (HD 2500) and it seens to run fine atleast. So what I can do? I don't have the money to buy a new GPU or MB.
I really don't want to be without pc again...

Thanks and have a nice Sunday.

If you don't want to go without a PC during the RMA process, and don't have the money to replace parts yourself, your pretty much stuck with what you have in the condition it's working in(running onboard video).

I do want to say though, two and a half months for a RMA? OMFG I WOULD BE SO F-CKING PISSED OFF. I WOULD NOT SPEND ANOTHER PENNY AT THAT STORE AGAIN. A RMA should not take that damn long.

RMA should be ASAP. 2 to 4 weeks maximum.

And it seems like they are idiots anyways diagnosing the wrong part to be the fault.

It should be and they said this to me as well. The store sent the MB to their Supplier ( I think this is the correct term) not Asrock, far as I know.
Well I will running with hd 2500 to see if the problem remains, if yes I will send the pc again to them. If not then the GPU is the problem.

Good man!

just on the side note you seem to do their job better then they have....finding the problem.

I have other question:
Does this freezes/Bsod damages the Hard disk?

Only your files on them.

While writing it could lead to files missing and be corrupted.

if you have to turn you PC on and off again spinning the drives back up and down rapidly only drain the MBTF (mean time before failure ). A drive is only capable of doing so and so many cycles of spinning up and down by factory. Dosn´t mean it breaks right away after reaching it but means it has a higher chance to do so.

In short : No

It could, but it's not likely too. It's the same amount of risk as having to do a hard shutdown (just cutting the power, not letting windows shut down properly)

Just some things to try... if you want to.

1. Did they or you re-install the OS? You might want to give it a go, if not. You might want to try re-installing the drivers for the GPU, also.
2. Have you checked the PCIe slot (Where your GPU goes) for any foreign objects or messed up contacts?
3. What BIOS version are you on... you may need to update it. The latest is 2.10; and, along the way they fixed a problem with auto detecting of the PCIe link speed.
4. Try the GPU in another PC, if you can.
5. Look at the crash logs or the error log in the event manager in the "Adminstrative Tools", it may give you a clue as to the root of the problem.



A Non-Maskable Interrupt can be caused be hardware or software. Basically, it happens when certain interrupts call for immediate response and it doesn't happens or cannot be masked, so you get the BSOD.

Yep, it looks to be the GPU or something associated; however, if they just replaced the motherboard and transfered everything else... they may have transfered the problem.
Just saying.

I'm running with HD2500 about 4hours perfectly fine with no freezes/bsod. No they/I didn´t re-install OS or drivers. I also checked the pcie slot as you stated, didn't find anything that could be wrong. I guess is a GPU problem.

It have the latest bios as well.

As, I stated, you may want to try.

Don't be so quick to blame the GPU, as the on-board and PCIe GPU probably use different drivers and such.
And, you may want to check for other possibilities...

Anyways, goodluck.
Was just trying to help.
