Hey,
I have recently built a new computer and I have been running into a lot of Kernal-Power BSOD's (The BSOD does not actually appear when the crash happens usually the screen will go all screwy or just black and then the comp will restart). The specs are as follows:
MOBO: M4A79XTD EVO
PSU: 750W TP (cable management)
CPU: Phenom II 3.2gzh x4
GPU: ASUS HD Radeon 5770
RAM: 6 GB (3x2GBKit) G.Skill DDR3 1600mzh speed http://www.gskill.com/products.php?index=110 ( Link to exact RAM I have on the GSKILL Website)
HDD: 500GB Sata II \ 3.0gb /s
OS: Windows 7 64bit Ultimate
The error in the event viewer says:
The system has rebooted without cleanly shutting down first. This error could be caused if the system stopped responding, crashed, or lost power unexpectedly.
I have googled the issue, and I am lead to believe that this issue is something to do with windows 7 putting stress on the north bridge or memory. So I'm pretty sure it is a RAM Issue, the crash sometimes won't happen at all, all day or sometimes it will happen frequently. (within 5-10 mins too an hour after the last crash)
I have tried Flashing the BIOS, and removing sticks, trying it on 2GB, 4GB or whatever switching up the sticks.
I even checked the memory before I bought it and it IS on the MOBO's Qaulified vendors list, the exact same 3kit with the exact model no. I am almost stumped on my issue and it is getting rather annoying.
I have also tried screwing around with the voltages and Timings etc... and can't seem to get a happy medium. Sometimes when playing with these settings in BIOS it will temporarily "stabilize" it and I wont crash at all for the rest of the day but usually in a few hours or the next day I will crash again.
Please help.
Thanks.
