Hi
I recently purchased a new machine, the specs are:
Striker II Formula Motherboard. (Updated to the latest BIOS v1101)
Intel QX9650 Processor
2x Asus Geforce 8800GT in SLI
(2x 2GB) Corsair TWIN2X4096-6400C5
Thermaltake 1000 Watt power supply
Zalman CNPS9700 NT CPU cooler.
And this case: link
Picture of the system if needed: link
I am running Vista Ultimate.
I have updated to the latest chipset and graphics card drivers about a week ago.
My problem is that when I have both 2GB RAM modules in the two blue slots in the mobo, I keep getting a PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA BSOD fairly frequently. When I just have one of the 2GB RAM modules installed, the BSOD is less frequent, but it does still occur. I have run memtest, no errors came up.
My guess is that the ram is perhaps not compatible with the motherboard? If that is the case, what ram IS compatible? Preferably corsair as my brand options are somewhat limited here in South Africa, I might be able to get kingston too.
I have run Memtest for my ram, S&M for my CPU, and VMT for my video memory, all completed with no errors at all.
I have attached a few of my minidumps since yesterday (5 yesterday, 1 today). One of the BSOD’s was an 0X0A one if I remember correctly.
Another question I have that may be related is why my CPU is so hot: link
Checking the bios, it says my CPU Temperature is about 7c (Fluctuates between 6-7. after the PC has been idle) I felt below my zalman to see and it does seem quite cool to the touch, certainly nowhere near as hot as my NB and SB.
M/B Temperature: 39c
NB Temperature: 60c
SB Temperature: 54c
I hope that is all the needed info. I really need to get this BSOD fixed soon as I'm running out of time to be able to return/exchange the ram with the company I ordered the parts from. (If that is necessary).
Any help is greatly appreciated.
