Hello,
I have been attempting to fix a problem myself that has gotten worse. Bear with me its a long one...
My specs are:
CPU : Intel i7-930
Motherboard : MSI Pro-e x58
Ram : 6 gb triple channel G.Skill 1600mhz, 9-9-9-24
HD : 3 total - 350gbx2(used in prior build I just kept them in the pc), 1 tb(OS installed in this one). All Western Digital
OS: Windows 7(upgraded from Vista)
Since I put this build together (moved from AMD to Intel) I've had nothing but problems. First I had a ASRock MB that did not recognize ram correctly possibly due to bent pins, however this was usable and did not provide any BSOD using this motherboard.
I exchanged this motherboard for the MSI Pro-e and purchased a 1tb hd along with it. After installing the new MB the ram was fine and no longer an issue. I then proceeded to install windows 7 w/ an ubuntu partition into the 1tb hd.
I started to receive BSOD at start up at random along the lines of "IRQL_less_or_equal", "Memory Management", "Quota Underflow". I tested the RAM sticks and they were not defective. Weird situation is that the bsod would only happen within 5 minutes of boot up or right when the "starting windows" came up.
I figured I might have messed up with the ubuntu install to cause this so I deleted the partition and reinstalled windows 7 only. The BSOD would still occur, but again only on boot up. I figured it may be startup service or program so I disabled all of them non windows related.
BSOD still occurred and I began into looking at the minidump files which pointed to NTSKRNL, NTFS.SYS, primarily. I reinstalled windows 7, and the problems still continued. What is weird is once I am able to get into the system, I can shut down or restart it within the next hour or two no problems. The BSOD occurs after I go to bed at night say 7-8 hours later when I try to re-access it.
Its late and right now the BSOD are happening almost right at start up to where I cant zip the dump files for you. I will try in the morning if it lets me on.
I've changed alot of parts(all of them really except the PSU and the 2 hard drives). I was hoping someone can help me just by examining this problem without me having to reinstall the os for this to happen again and get the dump files out before the bsod frequency increases.
Some things to note,
-BSOD frequency increases over time after reinstall
-RAM appears to not be the issue
-BSOD only happens within first few minutes of boot up
-BIOS is up to date
-Would this be a sign of a defective motherboard, Harddrive or PSU?
-I only reinstall windows through the upgrade disc, should I reinstall vista then load windows 7 to do a full "clean" install?
You help is appreciated
