Alright where do I begin... Well first a foremost I am being plagued by several different BSODs. They are PFN_list_corrupt, Irql not less or equal and and memory management. They all seem to happen when i start up my computer and usually kick in right when I try to log in.
This issue is a new one and I think I may have made it worse. This all started when I upgraded my graphics card from dual SLI Gigabyte 560s to an Evga 770.
The computer ran fine for about 3 days, but then I started getting the BSOD when I reached login. I restarted my computer and it ran just fine for that session but occasionally the screen would freeze and then I resume to normal and get a message about Nvidia Kernel something or other failed and restarted... So after a few cases of the the computer blue screening at login and freezes with kernel messages I started to look for solutions.
First I tried reinstalling Nvidia drivers, I was using the newest drivers 335.23 and I installed what I heard to be the more stable drivers 332.21. This did nothing I still was having issues... So then I took the card out and reinstalled it to make sure the connections were good. Still no luck.
So then after a bit of research and looking at my graphics card I found that it might have something to do with my mother board bios and there was even a paper that came with my new graphics card that suggested as much... Well I I have a ASUS P8Z68-V PRO/GEN3 and have never updated my bios (I was never having problems before aside from the Asus splash screen showing twice even since I built the computer) Well I do think I successfully install the bios via EZ flash (I went from 0301 to 3603) The computer boots up fine (even though I still get two splash screens) I can even go to the bios and everything looks fine and functioning... But by the time I get to the login I know almost always get the BSOD. It should be noted that I may not have things perfect in the bios set up...
So then I try safe mode with networking and the computer boots up fine... I've tried a few things with drivers again and I have even put in my old cards again but I still get the BSOD on login...
So... Yeah I dunno anymore... I should state that this is my first computer that I have built from scratch and have had a happy relationship with it for 2 1/2 years with no issues... I should also state that I was getting the odd message now and again of drivers giving out before I changed my GPU. These were mostly concerning my Drawing tablet that for some reason was acting up (It had conflicts with my printerdrivers in the past but I updated those drivers and it haden't acted up too much.)
My computer rig is as follows:
Intel Core i7-2600K processor (stock and not overclocked)
ASUS P8Z68-V PRO/GEN3 Motherboard
Corsair Force 3 120 GB SSD (for my main C drive)
Hitachi Deskstar 2TB HDD (for storage) and Corsair Force GT 240 GB SSD (for games)
Creative Labs X-Fi Titanium Sound Card
Corsair Memory Vengeance 16GB Dual Channel Kit DDR3 1600 MHz
GTX 560 SLI and GTX 770
Inuos 4 tablet
Windows 7 Ultimate
HP Photosmart Cc4200 Printer (Drivers were giving me issues so might as well mention it)
So... After this novel I have a few questions: Is their any foreseeable means of fixing my computer?... Do I have to reinstall windows and will this fix it? Should I return my new graphics card because you think it is faulty? Is there any special bios tweaks I should be concerned with?
I think I may be having a case of a little knowledge is a dangerous thing as I built this rig figuring it out as I went and now I built my computer into a corner.
I hope I have given you adequate information so we can brainstorm a solution. As I'm a freelance 3d artist and my computer is my life so a quick solution would be appreciated. Thanks in advance guys.
