New build random BSOD, no idea where to start

DareMe55 · Jun 8, 2012

Build is little over 2 weeks old. Didnt notice any problems at first. Then when I wake up on some mornings I get a message saying my comp recovered from a BSOD. Now its crashing when under heavy load, or gaming.

Could it maybe be my memory? How could I start to troubleshoot this problem and what programs will help me?

Is this overclocked at all?

It does sound like a memory issue but that could mean not that the memory is necessarily bad but that it is incorrectly configured in bios.

The most commonly used ram testing software is Memtest86+. Install it on a self-booting usb stick or removable media of some kind and let it run for several hours. If it turns up errors then repeat the test with only one stick of ram until you have tested each one.

not overclocked, and I changed the ram to the profile setting that sets it to the correct ram timings

Did you test with memtest86+?

DareMe55 · Jun 9, 2012

Not yet, I was answering his initial question.

DareMe55 · Jun 9, 2012

ran memtest for 4 hours and no errors came up.

Try running prime95 or LinX. That will tell if it's your cpu or video card.

Good idea. When you run Prime95, run the other tests, not the "blend" test which stresses memory a lot. You want to put more stress on the CPU since you've already tested the ram.

What is linX? I cant find the program because Im not sure what Im looking for.

Also running prime didnt bring up any errors, maybe I can try for longer later. But I BSOD again today. And its only when I lock my computer and ago AFK. When I come back it says it recovered from a BSOD. It's only happened once or twice while im gaming, and I play alot, but it happens every few nights it seems when Im not using it.

LinX - The simpliest Linpack interface.

... and as far as troubleshooting the BCCode: f4 BSOD, I'd probably try disconnecting the Samsung HDD first.

I used the diagnostics tool from seagates website on my HDD and It didnt bring up any errors at all. But most of my googling has brought up concern that it is my harddrive.

DareMe55 · Jun 24, 2012

Any suggestions on what I can/should do? It's still blue screening every 3-5 days when idle. Ive been doing some googling and it seems as though it is a HD issue, but I dont know if its my SSD or my regular HDD. Besides buying 2 new harddrives and trying it out I dont know what to do.

Do you have your HDD set to power down? if you do i would try disabling that for a test.
