Hi folks,
Having an issue with random BSODs on my system in sig recently. I tore it down to add an EK MB waterblock to my loop and after putting it back together have been getting some BSODS. APC_INDEX_MISMATCH , IRQ_NOT_EQUAL , PAGE ERROR IN UNPAGED AREA are the usual text strings, with codes 05, 09, 24, 50 depending. My system is overclocked, but it is using the same settings that were rock solid prior to this starting.
Note, I also lined my case internals with this stuff: http://store.carbonfibergear.com/3m-di-noc-carbon-fiber-vinyl I have it lining the mobo tray as well. So I do have some suspicion there may be a grounding issue as my headphones are now giving me some feedback on mouse movement and hard drive activity which they didn't before.
I also have a suspicion that perhaps the mounting of the motherboard water block could be causing an issue ?
But, away from that - I have been failing linx with setting memory to 'all' and having all 16GB of memory installed (4x4GB) But, when I run with 1 stick, 2 stick or 3 sticks it passes linx just fine. I have isolated it down to adding one stick in particular that causes failure errors in linx and the BSODs to continue. Thing is that I passed 200% of hcimemtest with 12 instances running as well as memtest86+ overnight ?
I realize there is a good chance it is just a bad stick of memory not showing in those tests, but the errors didn't occur until after I tore down and reassembled my case. Against that though, the errors only occur due to having this one stick installed. I've also tried swapping around different DIMM slots and still it is this one stick regardless of slot.
Just wondering if anyone thinks it could be something I am missing or is it just the obvious? - that it is this sneaky stick of RAM that avoids throwing off errors anywhere but in linx and random BSODs.
Maybe I just somehow borked this one stick in handling it ? I guess that is possible. Hoping it is just the RAM, will give me an excuse to pick up some of those 30nm samsung DIMMS that overclock like crazy
