BSOD since haswell upgrade

[Vlada011]

That's probably motherboard. When motherboard start to play with you that is something worse, that can look as everything is broken.
But as people say can be anything and RAM is high on list suspicious.
I always repeat Nircsoft Blue Screen Viewer is necessary software in PC.
He can remember files and you can send on seven forum, there experts now to read every single part of system and to say what can be problem.
They help me twice but that was software problem and they immediately find problematic update installed.
But if you reinstall system or BSOD in safe mode than that is hardware as you say.

hey i think it could be the CPU (or its imc rather) itself because i have just put 2 sticks of ram in instead of 4 and its been running at xmp profile for a whole day and no bsod. so i believe its the cpu who cannot hold 4 sticks of ram at those speeds.

however i havent tested the other two, might do that today if they dont cause any bsod, it is safe to say my cpu or its memory controller is not very strong

Reports of other gigabyte board issues below (well maybe, mobo issues are always hard to pin down)

One unlikely sounding solution was :

Looks like I've got it to work by disabling UEFI options, switched to Legacy BIOS.

hmmm sounds it could work. right now i am testing my other 2 sticks of ram at xmp and they seems to be running fine (just ruling out bad memory) now tomorrow i will put all 4 sticks in and give this disable uefi a chance and see if it helps. will report back

If you're running the 320.49 (or newer) nVidia drivers, uninstall that crap and roll 'em back. Try 314.12. Ran into this issue two weeks ago, BSoD left and right, and finally tracked it to that. The 320s are especially bad when viewing Flash-based web content, so simply browsing the internet would cause a random BSoD.

i recently upgrade to 4770k with z87x ud3h and crucial blistix tactical 4X4GB (1866)Ram

basically i have been getting random bsod since day one. now frustrated i want the help of you guys. bsods are happening for several different reasons
1) irql drivel not equal or less (most common)
2) memory exemption (only once, few days ago)
3) nvdll.sys (or something) (once so far)

after the memory exemption bsod i did memtest after 2 hours memtest restated without giving any errors. then i left it and it ran for 6 hours (pass 4, i think) without any errors. i did a clean install of nvidia drivers updated the bios to the latest but nothing works.

any help will be appreciated.
edit: it was nvlddmkm (the third one) my computer also sometimes freezes for few seconds

Registered here today to tell you out of the kindness of my heart to change the thermal paste on your cpu. I had the same thing when I put it in a new motherboard I decided to add some thermal grease and I put too much and sometimes the pc would start or sometimes it would work for a small while and then shut down. Then I took off the thermal grease and reapplied a much lighter amount and it fixed that. Haswell is a hot cpu getting 100c in prime 95 but then again my room temp is 30c should try on a cooler day. That and I'm using stock. Ok bye

hey guys thanks for very helpful advices but they dont seem to solve the problem. however i have found that running any 2 sticks in any two slots doesn't result in a bsod. so this led me to believe that on auto settings on my motherboard is not providing enough voltage to keep all 4 dimm stable. i know i changing dram voltage and imc voltage should help the situation. but is there any other voltage i should look out for?

EDIT: I have been running ram at 1600 MHZ (stock settings for haswell) but now computer BSOD on shutdown (not every shutdown though). saying 'system service exemption'. event viewer in control panel says. thses 2 were included in the event.
\Device\Afd
\Driver\aswTdi

and dump file says "probabaly caused by: ntkrnlmp.exe ( nt!IoUninitializeWorkItem+e17 )"

Any ideas guys?

 

[vish93]

does no have have any opinions or solution for this?

(PS i am posting instead of editing last one because i am not sure if it let people know i have put some new information)

 

[TheNewNormal]

I'm inclined to think you will need a bios update to use all 4. Have a read through the final half a dozen comments on this thread (not an identical board, but similar)

forum.giga-byte.co.uk/index.php?topic=12635.0

That said, upping voltages may work, but you really shouldn't have to do that at advertised stock speeds. I don't own Haswell, so can't comment on what voltages may need changing.

Hopefully someone can be more helpful.

 

[vish93]

okay i decided to give my motherboard back and get gd 65 gaming. that should hopefully fix my issue.

Edit: strange thing is none of the reviews picked it up

 

[TheNewNormal]

How'd you go vish?
New mobo fix your issue?

 

[vish93]

Yeah mate I had 2 choices either run the memory at 1333 MHz or return the board. I decided to choose the later and got a MSI GD65 Gaming and now running the memory at its rated 1866 MHz with all the slots filled and no bsod. So it was the boards fault.

 

[TheNewNormal]

Excellent

Bad luck with the board, but good that you picked the right part to replace!

Thanks for the update
