Hello. I've been experiencing annoying blue screens for over a month now and was hoping for a fix it yourself solution on this forum... My first experience was early last month. I clicked on an embedded video on a school website, and the screen went blue not even half way through the video. It would also happen while running Autodesk Maya 2011. Eventually I thought the RAM wasn't great enough, so I upgraded from 6gigs to 12 gigs. I tested the new RAM by going to YouTube and began streaming HD videos. Sure enough the Blue Screens still happened. I gave my system a memtest through Windows and found nothing wrong. The BSOD's have been more frequent lately and every time I get them, a new message appears. The firsts were "IRQL Less Than or Equal to", a few weeks later the messages were Page Fault in "Non-Paged Area". And the most recent one was "System Service Exception" Please Help me...
Attached here is the latest minidump file, which was from today, and the screenshots of the CPU-Z tabs...

Your ram timings are set wrong in your bios. The tRAS & tRFC setting's are wrong. tRAS is set to 24. It should be 25. tRFC is set to 107, which is way too high. It should be set to 34. That's more than likely what's causing the BSOD's change those two setting's in the bios and make sure your video card driver's are up to date.

I was able to set the tRAS to 25; the settings for the tRFC won't let me go lower than 48.
Should I set it there since it is the lowest value???

My mistake when typing, I meant tRC for the 2nd one. Set tRC to 34. Thr tRFC leava at AUTO. CPUz's SPD tab contains the timings your ram supports. If your ram is DDR3 12800 / PC3 1600 use the right column that says 800 mhz. at the top. The Memory tab in CPUz should always match on of the columns from the SPD tab. If it doesn't your ram timings are wrong and BSOD's will happen frequently.

It is 1600. So if that's the case should I change the tRAS again to 27 to match that column? And the tRC to 37?

OK,tRas 27 and tRC 36. Also make sure the bios is showing your ram aas DDR3 1600 and not DDR3 1066. 1066 would be 667 MHz and DDR3 1600 would be 800 MHz.

its ddr3 1600 (PC3 12800). I changed the tRAS to 27. My bios was setting the DRAM Frequency to Auto, so I changed that setting to DDR3 1600MHz. The one thing I can't find under my timing control is the tRC setting. Could it be labeled as something else, or would it be located in another section of my bios??

Make sure you have the ram set to 800 MHz in the bios's DRAM Frequency settings. After that the blue screens should disappear.
