GA-ep45-ud3r windows7 64bit bsod daily

[aznative]

I am having issues with bsod on a daily basis and my event log is just vague enough that it cant determine the causes.

The computer has rebooted from a bugcheck. The bugcheck was: 0x0000007e (0xffffffffc0000005, 0xfffff9600060b1cb, 0xfffff88002ea4418, 0xfffff88002ea3c70

I have tried windbg and whocrashed to try to view the dmp file but I cant seem to get it to translate correctly. I haven't found a good walk through to get those working. Not sure if im not downloading or installing the correct symbol pack. (any good step by step walk throughs would be appreciated on those programs.)

If updated bios to f9
got the only driver listed for the board on gigabytes site for win7 64bit which is the sound driver. And I have the 190.xx drivers from nvidia for the gtx260.

If anyone who has success in this can help out it would be appreciated.

Thanks

Do you have the latest Intel Chipset package installed?

That looks to me to be a memory error, can you please follow the link in my signature to the BIOS templates and give us your settings and specs.

Have you tested your ram one by one at stock lately to be sure none of it is faulty?

[aznative]

i guess im not sure about the latest intel chipset package installed... I checked for any drivers on gigabytes site but only found sound drivers.

nothing is overclocked. all bios settings are standard default optimized.
(only thing changed is drive boot order and spash screen)

I did a memory test i found in windows 7 it it came up with no errors.
i also removed 2 of ram so running with 4 gigs now in hopes of being more stable.

No need to go down to 2GB, either way you can/will have errors until you find stable settings. Those all look to be memory related errors to me, can you please test each stick one at a time with default settings with Memtest86+ >>
Memtest86+ - Advanced Memory Diagnostic Tool

Let it run 10 passes or so on each stick. Set the ram multi so it equals stock speed, set the main timings only, and then set the ram to spec voltage. Then test each stick one by one in slot one. 4.00C is the ram multi you want to use at 266 FSB, just letting you know since there is (3x) 4.00 settings.

They may be fine and the issue may just be that you did not set your ram voltage (For one or two sticks) to spec, and for two sticks you need more MCH Voltage. 1.8V default is not going to work for 1066Mhz, you will need to set 2.0-2.1 as they are rated to that. Of course they may work with less, but you need to set them to spec first

[DankBuddha]

Yeah I'd say definently a memory problem. Throughly check your RAM. Also if it was bad enough you could totally corrupt your windows installation and need to do a clean install.

[aznative]

Thanks, changed my voltage to 2.0 and ran memtest and it errored on first pass.

I uped the voltage to 2.1 and have run 2 passes so far with no errors, I will let it run a 10 passes and see if there are any errors.

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.

[Chike]

With XMP on auto memory voltage was probably set to 2.1v anyway, I coubt it'll make any change if that's the only setting you've changed.

[Lsdmeasap]

Let us know how you get along with your further testing

[Psycho101]

Agreed with Chike. With XMP enabled your RAM was already running on 2.1V.

Your MCH Core could do with tweaking. Try 1.2V first. After that try 1.22V -1.26V. If no joy then go the other way and try 1.12-1.18V.

If you still have problems, I would disable XMP and set RAM timings manually to 5-6-6-16. You may leave the advanced timings on auto if you wish for now. Setting a static tRead of 6-7 may help you gain total stability all by itself or along with the above MCH Core changes. At 266 FSB with the same CPU and similar RAM (mine is 5-5-5-15 DDR-1066) I'm stable at tRead = 5. Adding to this number (on both channels) may be needed for you.

[Chike]

Possibly even 1.28-1.3v MCH it's 8GB not sure what configuration.
