Gigabyte ga 78lmt usb3 bsod

[Ad____]

With my old PSU it did not startup at all, so I installed a 600W PSU.

I can startup into win7 but a lot of bsod's.

Dumps often refer to gigabyte software itself so I deïnstalled it.

Also deïnstalled mcafee site advisor,
but I think these programs are just victims.

Bought a new memory module.
Changed slots.


Installed latest drivers, not from gb site, but realtek site has newer versions for sound (and network).

Installed ms hotfix for amd fx processor.

Funny thing is, that after repeating bsod's I can fix this gor a while by draining my mobo.

1. Shutdown
2. Remove power cord.
3. Press start button for 3 secs
> fan will turn untill drained
4. Insert power cord
5. Press start button

And bsod at startup disappears.

Also had a memtest fault I could resolve this way.

Tried:
1600-> 1333
1.51 V

Processor tends to get hot soon (50-60).

I added a small cooler to the sata chip, seemed to get better.

Power supply not stable enough?

Repaste heatsink of cpu?

SW issue?

Is a bootable mobo stresstest sw available?

I run win7 with the license code of my previous oem hw. I installed mobo drivers.

Can you list your PC spec?

I added a small cooler to the sata chip, seemed to get better.

what is that?

SW issue?

Do you mean software? If yes, can you list what antivirus and utility software you used?

conceptronic 600W power supply (stable enough?)
needs also to power 2 disks and 2 dvd stations
(I can look up brand, but don't think it's relevant)

I use ide to control the disks, did not get ahci to work yet
cooler = I mean a small fan, that is supposed to cool the chip next to the sata connection
SW = I mean SoftWare (not being HW hardware)

I suspect drivers of basic IO board chips

I also have a NVIDIA card added, but without, using onboard video, it also BSOD

I use 8GB ddr3 1600 kingston hyperx RAM, moved to 4
Together with 4Gb Joy-iT that came with motherboard.
However, memory tests pass.

I am going to remove NVIDIA, en use only kingston in slot 1.

After BSOD, I need to drain power supply, so I suspect basic IO hw to be in a strange state.
Downloaded latest realtek driver for audio from taiwan.
Ethernet chip en onboard video latest drivers from GIgabyte, will recheck with their update utility.
BIos is latest version F2 (V6 motherboard).

I had some Gigabyte software installed, for green power and usb use for loading phones when computer is off. I deinstalled all Gigabyte SW though. Should I check for bios power behaviour settings?

I have a new SHDD that I can try to install with a fresh win7, but the license code probably was for another brand mobo. I think the right mobo drivers will/can be loaded afterwards?

I can upgrade to win10 then, but don't think this will solve the issue.

It seems to be a memory leak problem, but why need to drain mobo to revive then?

Used memory dump analysis, but to many victims, not causes I think.

Virus software is McAfee total protection. I deinstalled McAfee Webadvisor, which was victim a lot.

When I try to reinstall Easytune, it crashes rightaway.

Sometimes BSOD at shutdown (for restart).

At what temp should I set processor heat warning just to evaluate?
Should I try to use new heattransfergluestuff for processor and heatsink?

Should I cool the other hot chip on the board with an additional fan?

Or give up and RMA, buy another brand...

What cpu do you have?

BSOD is caused by hardware or drivers problem, and overheat or PSU will cause the pc shut and restart.
You can check the windows event logs to see what causes the BSOD. How to "Open Event Viewer" http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/open-event-viewer#1TC=windows-7

You may check the cpu temp too, using HWMonitor http://www.cpuid.com/softwares/hwmonitor.html

And you should use the minimum hardware to test the pc if you have the unknown issue. Try use onboard amd iGPU, one stick momey, one hard drive with the OS, also use the CCleaner http://www.piriform.com/ccleaner to clear up your PC too. And uninstall any unnecessary software too. But the easy way to do that is to clean install the OS again with the minimum hardware.

I did a clean install on a brandnew hdd. I only did install a previously downloaded latest ethernet chip driver from the realtek taiwan site (not the old one on the gigabyte dvd) to get internet running. I had to use the latest via usb3 driver from the gigabyte site though. I did not try to install the tweaker or other gigabyte utilities, that seem to be abandoned by gigabyte and apparently crash win7 sp1. My windows update still needs to get to the sp1 (and then advertise even win 10) so I keep my fingers crossed, no bsod until now yet. I don't know if I will like win10 though..

I did set the 60degC warning in bios, just for info now, but good to know that overheating does generally not cause a bsod. Maybe I install the hw monitor later, after making my own restore points ;-)

I looked at events and crash dumps, but thet had various causes. Memory leaks or bad pointers I assume.

It is an amd fx4300
