Hello,
I have just built a new PC and am experiencing odd BSOD issues.
I seem to have narrowed it down to if the PC is turned off at the mains/unplugged and then turned back on it BSODs with a memory management message 0x0000001A.
The system specs are:
Intel I7 960 3.2ghz
Gigabyte GA-X58A UD3r
6GB (3x2GB) Corsair Dominator DDR3, 1600mhz, CAS7, 1.65V
Corsair 850W PSU
320gb Samsung F4
Palit GTX580 1.5gig
Artic Cooler Freezer 7 Pro
Windows 7 Pro
Initially I has some issues installing windows, didnt seem to like an IDE DVD drive installing to a SATA HDD, kept blue screening and saying cannot find install media.
Swapped the HDD and DVD drive out and managed to install (although it seemed quite slow) however I then experienced freezing issues. I put this down to the HDD as it was just one i nabbed from work. I installed windows onto the original HDD while in windows.
Then rebooted, took out the work HDD and installed windows over the top of the secondary install. This seemed to work fine, however I did get one freeze at the same point as last time which was during Empire: Total War install asking to insert Disk 2. For the moment I have put this down to the game as I have had no other freezes, however I'm not so sure now.
I thought all was good until I unplugged the PC and moved it to where it was going, then on bootup I got a lot of BSODs on entering windows, rebooting made no difference, repairing made no difference. I turned the PC off rather than restarting and it went into windows fine.
I tested this again, unplugged, started, BSOD
restarted, BSOD again
shut down and powered back on, works fine.
The only difference I can see on boot up is if it is from a fresh plug in the PC spins up for a second, then stops and the lights go out, then spins up properly and continues. It does not do this if it has just been shut down, only when unplugged. I have seen other PCs that do this every time, not sure why or what for or if its a problem?
I think the problem is memory related, web pages point to lack of power to the memory, which may be why it froze during installations as well.
However the sticks are set at 1.65v, 1600mhz and running an 850W PSU, should be fine.
I can bench the PC using prime95 with high heat and memory load as well as loop 3dmark at the same time, no issues.
Any help/suggestions would be greatly appreciated
