BSOD, in desperate need of help :(

Temperatures seem fine, well looks that way, and i also have an antec tricool fan above the ram and northbridge.
But still, ive tried having something die because of overheating even though the temp readings were normal.
There is a newer bios than the one i currently have, but none of them corrects any memory issues. But i could update just to leave that option out.
Is there any way to test a faulty PSU?

Set everything back to default. No OC. Update all drivers including the bios. Run OCCT for an hour and get back to us.
 
how did it work out Rexter? Was Mike correct?
 
Sorry for a late reply, ive been busy these past few days.

So, today i finally got time to run OCCT, so first i updated the bios, even updated expressgate, forced intel inf update (version 9.0.0.1015, forced update replaces EVERYTHING), updated audio (the stock asus drivers for the soundcars was utter shite, so finally found a new one), updated directx, remaining updates from windows update. I already had the newest graphics driver but installed it again anyway.

I then closed all unnessecary programs running in the background and fired up OCCT, and ran the one hour auto test.
And to my surprise, it found no errors!

Here are the results:

I seriously still have no clue what caused those two bsod's to begin with...

No you didn't "fix" it. You might have established its not hardware thats all. Now the really hard part starts.
 
I would still run Prime blend set to custom with all of your ram enabled. With my P5Q D when I picked up a second kit of OCZ PC8500 reapers they didn't play well with my old kit at stock speeds. They were binned differently. So that might be worth a shot.

One other weird issue that I did have with my P5Q D and four occupied dimms is that everything would freeze up occasionally for a second also at stock speeds on a fresh instal. I tried several different bios versions both offical and modded and Ket's 2001m for the Deluxe cleared that right up.

I'm just throwing that out there and it may not be much help to you. I also wouldn't trust your os after all those BSODs, a format might be a good idea.

Also I have to know which audio driver that you are using. Your right the Asus ones are utter garbage.

Thanks, i will look into it :)

The driver i found was actually for windows 7, but works perfectly with vista 64bit that im using now. These drivers are lightyears better than the one from asus.
I uninstalled the old ones before upgrading, since its such a huge leap in version number.

Thank you good sir, I am still using the actual Vista driver since that Asus one is so crappy and bloated. I can't wait to try this out. :)
