I am running:
intel i5-2500k
ASrock p67 pro3 Motherboard
2x4 GB G.Skill Ripjaws F3-10666CL9D-8GBRL
Sapphire AMD radeon 6870
ASUS Monitor
Seagate Barracuda 500 GB Hard drive
Notes:
-This is a completely new build, HDD hasn't been used, all components are new.
Only things I have installed are the drivers directly from the ASrock Motherboard CD that comes with the Mobo and the AMD radeon driver that came with the GPU.
-I also have microsoft security essentials installed
Problem:
I get the BSOD 0x0000003B and also got 0x00000007e once (while trying to install a video game).
I've been getting it since I first loaded windows. I tried a fresh install because maybe something went wrong with installation?? but that didn't work.
So far, from research on this forum and online, I've seen that it could be RAM, graphic driver, system files corruped (although since I did a fresh install of windows wouldn't this be out of the question) and hard disk corruptions (did a dskchk before fresh reinstall, but don't think I got any problems).
I've even seen someone comment that changing their monitor fixed the issue.
What should I do? anyone?
EDIT 1: I noticed on the ASrock website : http://www.asrock.com/mb/memory.asp?Model=P67 Pro3
I can't seem to find my model of RAM which is F3-10666CL9D-8GBRL under compatible memory
I see F3-10666CL9D-8GBXL listed as compatible, which seems pretty much the same, but I am not sure if it is just the same thing just differently named as the the only difference is the RL from mine and XL from the asrock site
EDIT 2:
Concerning my RAM, I notice that if I use only ONE stick of RAM in any slot, I get no BSODS (I've been installing, playing games, watching vids, etc for hours now haven't gotten any). If I use TWO sticks of RAM in any order I get BSODS. However I can use one stick of EITHER RAM and it works fine. So, I don't see how either sticks themselves can be bad as either one works when used singularly.
Could this have to do with my settings in the BIOS? Any ideas?
EDIT 3:
So, I got another bsod 0x3B today, it was almost a whole day since i got my last one, but alas i did indeed get it. I have been running it with the 1 x 4 GB ram that i *thought* was the solution to my BSOD previously, but it turns out that it still happens just a lot less frequent. whereas previously with 2 sticks of RAM i got BSOD every 10-20 minutes, now I get it mabye once a couple of days. the new minidump i will upload as DMP2
