Hy,
About 5-6 months ago i bought the following components: E8400, GA-EP45-DS3L, 4GB A-Data Vitesta 800+ CL4 Extreme Edition, ASUS EN9800GT Ultimate, Thermaltake TR2 500W.
Since then, I've been trying various versions of Vista or Windows 7 (both x86 or x64) everytime I had the same problem. After some random time, i recieve some BSOD like the one listed in the attachement.
Now, for solutions, I've tryed the following: using different drivers (chipset, video, sound, lan) same thing. I've tryed different RAM modules (kingston something) same thing. I memtested my A-DATA for 24 hours, no errors.
Also, my system is absolutely stable in XP SP2 (24 hours of prime 95, 12 hours of orthos, LinX, OCCT, whatelse) with no BSOD.
I've also used various BIOS's (default F7 to F10) with different settings, same thing.
I've tryed contacting Microsoft support, sent them a memory dump, they said the error was to general to figure out what is happening. I've also contacted Gigabyte support, they gave me no advices i haven't tryed allready.
So, I'm really stuck. I don't like Vista that much, but W7 seems to be a real win but now i can't run it because of my MB.
Has anyone else had this problem before? Are there any chances of solving this out? RMA'ing my board is not a real good choice, as i would have to wait for about 1 month, but since I have to work on my college graduation projects, i can't wait for that long.
Also, for a second question, are these voltages too high? That's the only way I managed to get 4GHz stable on my E8400.
