Multiple BSoD Issues - Hardware & Software

I recently replaced my Phenom II x4 955 BE with an FX-8350 and everything seemed to go smoothly. However, I soon realized I was getting BSoD errors like crazy. They happen almost completely randomly. Trying to install a PC benchmark program, crash. Trying to browse the web, crash. Gaming, crash. However they don't crash instantly. It seems to take a bit of time. I've run memtest+ a few times already, ran the memory diagnostic tool also. Run sfc /scannow. I'm lost. The only thing that has changed is my CPU, and also I've update my video drivers recently. I have not reinstalled Windows yet. Here are the BSoD's I'm getting: IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL SYSTEM_SERVICE_EXCEPTION MEMORY_MANAGEMENT Also, here are the dumps they produce: [url]http://okay.duckdns.org/owncloud/public.php?service=files&t=9bb5a9b2f5c30e7e4da59d7015f66f14[/url] All of them are uploaded to my VPS. Please help me figure this out. Also, my specs: Gigabyte 970a-d3 Corsair 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin (DDR3, 1333) FX-8350 @ 4.0 Ghz 120 SSD (Corsair Neutron GTX) GTX 660

Im not too sure if this matter, because usually when I update a CPU its apart of an overhaul and I begin to do a new image process. But are you running off the original OS when you had the 955BE?

Yes. I've reinstalled windows 7 now and still had the issue. Removed a stick of RAM and has been pretty smooth so far.

Keep diagnosing. [QUOTE=~Kiwi~v2;46808858]Sounds like a dead stick of ram to me. Get a USB drive and a copy of both memtest86 and rufus(so you can format the USB drive and chuck memtest on it) and let it run for a few hours and see if any of the sticks pop out errors.[/QUOTE] There is no longer the requirement of putting memtest86 on a stick that much these days. The repair diagnostic will have this.

[QUOTE=SirZoloft;46809516]A bit weird, but its all good. Keep diagnosing. Yup, I think it was just the one stick of RAM. Haven't seen any BSoD yet. There is no longer the requirement of putting memtest86 on a stick that much these days. The repair diagnostic will have this.[/QUOTE] I believe memtest it much better at what it does the than the repair diagnostic because it runs far more tests. But I ran both just in case and neither reported errors (granted, I ran memtest for only about one and a half tests, but I ran it multiple times. I'm impatience haha).

Have you checked that everything is setup properly in the bios? My last pc was very strange, after upgrading the CPU I had to enable the motherboard thermal throttling, I have no idea why regardless of the setting I always got the same temps and FPS. Upgrading the bios didn't help either. I'd just get BSOD's randomly.

[QUOTE=drake90001;46811391]I believe that is an Intel only option.[/QUOTE] The motherboard and CPU's were AMD, can't recall if it was AM2+ or AM3.

Had to have been the RAM. No blue screens since. I'll mark this as solved.

Just want to say it happened again. Even without the stick I thought was bad. Could anyone analyze my dumps and see whats going on? I'm not to skilled at understanding them.

I haven't dealt with crash dumps for a few years so I may be a bit rusty, those of yours pretty much just say "there is an error, but we don't know what is causing it". First thing I'd do at this point is try putting the old CPU back in for a few days. If the crashes resume then the problem is obviously in some other hardware part. If the crashes stop with the old CPU then it's obviously something with the new CPU or the way it's setup. [editline]30th December 2014[/editline] I've just done a bit of looking and it seems there are different revisions of your motherboard (Rev 1.0/1.1, 1.2, 1.3, 1.4 and 3.0) 1.0, 1.1, 1.2 and 1.3 don't show any support for the new CPU you installed, they support the FX-8320E and FX-8370E but only after a bios update. Both of those CPU's are 95W, the one you bought is 125W. Rev 1.4 and 3.0 both support your new processor, 1.4 requires a bios update and 3.0 comes with support since first release. At this point I'd check your motherboard revision and if relevant update the bios. [editline]30th December 2014[/editline] your motherboard revision will either be on the box or on the PCB itself [IMG]http://puu.sh/dRoEx/7a4a1306e8.jpg[/IMG]

wall cats fix your cpu
