Earlier this week I upgraded my Phenom II X4 machine with a new Z87 motherboard and Haswell processor. I did a clean reinstall of windows when I did the upgrade, but I have still not yet been able to get my machine stable, even with both the CPU and GPU at complete stock. I can usually run benchmarks (AIDA64 stress test, Unigine Heaven) for over half an hour with no issues, and last night I ran 4 passes of memtest86+ with no errors. However, Dota 2 crashes back to the desktop within about 10 or 15 minutes consistently and I get BSODs about every hour or two, even just web browsing.
The BSODs have no consistency to the errors. I've gotten IRQL_NOT_LESS_THAN_EQUAL, MEMORY_MANAGEMENT, SYSTEM_SERVICE_EXCEPTION, an error with ntkrnlmp.exe, and others. I suspect it's a driver issue, but I can't tell what driver would be the problem.
I have a Swiftech H220, so it doesn't seem to be a temperature issue. I'm getting around 30 C at idle and somewhere over 50 C at load. My first mount wasn't very good, so I remounted the block, but that didn't seem to help.
I also have a Seasonic X750 power supply, so I don't think that would be causing a problem.
I've tried quite a few things already. I've reinstalled all the drivers, uninstalled all the Gigabyte utilities, updated to the newest BIOS. I submitted a tech support ticket to Gigabyte, but I don't know how long that will take to get a response.
I'm at my wits end and have no idea what else to try. Does anyone have any other suggestions before I take the motherboard back to Microcenter to get a replacement?
