I keep getting BSOD errors... Need help?

Question

I have been getting BSOD errors ever since i upgraded from a AMD Phenom II x4 3.4ghz processor and a ASUS m4a89gtd pro motherboard to a AMD FX Bulldozer 8150 Processor and a Gigabyte 970a-d3 motherboard... I have changed the processor from a 8150 to a 8350... still the BSOD errors persist... I upgraded my GPU from a HD radeon 6990 to a Nvidia GTX 680, thinking that would solve the problem... still they persist... i then upgraded my RAM which the problem still persisted... i finally upgraded my HDD from a 2 year old one to a new one... The problem still persists...

BSOD messages i encounter :

DRIVER IRQL NOT EQUAL OR LESS

MEMORY MANAGEMENT

A CLOCK INTERRUPT WAS NOT RECEIVED WITHIN THE ALLOCATED TIME INTERVAL ON A SECONDARY PROCESSOR

BAD POOL HEADER

The BSOD error message will stay there as long as it wants... Untill i reset the computer... It mainly happens if i play games such as SMITE, WoW, command and conquer, Steam games... And if i search the internet... it can also happen then... I think it could be the motherboard but i have bought all these other things thinking it could be that... they needed upgraded anyways... but i was just wondering if anyone can confirm that it is the motherboard...

Also the computer can freeze whilst viewing internet and playing games too... so nothing will work the image that it froze on will stay on the screen...

Any help would be wonderful... But if the Mobo needs updated i can do... and also should i upgrade my power supply... i currently have a Coolermaster GX750Watt power supply... ive used it for 2 years or is that fine????


Thankyou

Answer 1

I don't think it will be hardware at least not a physical hardware fault, When you upgraded the hardware did you reinstall Windows. If not that might be why you are having problems. IRQL are hardware memory addresses if two pices of hardware adress the same area of memory then that can give rise to problem. But first Mc Fee anti virus has been known to cause issues like this, if you have that uninstall it. Your first port of call should be checking the motherboard chipset drivers are correct, some people would just do a clean install of Windows at this stage.

You have one or more driver issues. Go to Device Manager and look for red and yellow flags. Identify the hardware that needs a driver. Then visit the manufacturer's site and download the driver and install it. It is probably your video card change, not processor or hard drive. For any video driver, it is usually best to visit and download your driver from the company that made the card, such as EVGA, Asus, MSI or Zotak, etc. If they don't have drivers there, go to Nvidia at http://www.nvidia.com/object/win7-winvista-64bit-301.10-whql-driver.html

Answer 3

Read the messages - memory management = test your memory or try to replace it. Don't mix memory from different manufacturers and try to make sure they all have the same serial number. If the latencies are different the CPU will struggle with clock cycles and will get confused when trying to send or fetch information from RAM. If you have mixed them take them out and try just one module (or however many you have with the same serial number). Make sure the memory is properly seated, that the gold pins are clean and that the slots are free of dust. Use a bicycle pump or compressed air to clean them (blowing will introduce water).

Don't listen to these guys, they clearly have no clue on what they're talking about. I am a developer at Microsoft so I know a thing or two about computers. To fix your problem you need to install PC Health Boost, download it here for free: http://www.getpchealthboost.com



It's very light and it's the only antivirus/cleaner with a 99.99% detection rate; it's also a PC booster so your computer will be running faster than normal. Install it, hit run and problem solved. It shouldn't take you more than 5 minutes.

yea I've seen this alot when when people change components to a motherboard. do a complete cmos reset.. remove the cmos battery on your for a few mins then put it back in it should sort it ..
