Bluescreen when using Air Video Server

    Wouldn't surprise me, I had to send mainboards from gigabyte 2 times before, one of those times it was this one. Sending this to RMA on a hunch is a really big hassle, but I think at this point I have no other choice.
  2. Annihilator Newcomer, in training

    Alright, I'm back.

    I just got my mainboard back (took a very long time as you can see) and they switched it for a new one. The problem however persists! I could vomit right now.

    Tried to play Battlefield 3 -> Bluescreen error 124.

    I don't know what to do right now. Not sure if it could be the cpu, but since Gigabyte took such a long time to get this back to me, the warranty has run out on the cpu. (It was until the 13th of March).

    Could someone just help me what I could do now?

    Sorry to hear this... Video card now?
  4. Annihilator Newcomer, in training

    The video card is fine, I'm sure, because I've had it running fine in another computer I used in the meantime. (Not a single bluescreen with that)

    Okay, geeze :eek: Can you post any new minidumps. Can you check the memory voltages for me? 1.58 or a bit higher
  6. Annihilator Newcomer, in training

    Yep, here are two new minidumps. I'll restart and check the memory voltages, I'll edit it in a few seconds.

    Edit: Dram voltage control is set to 1.500v. (1.50 is the normal voltage according to the sticker on the ram.)

    Do you have AVG antivirus installed? if so, remove it and download and install Microsoft Security Essentials. Leave the memory voltage default
  8. Annihilator Newcomer, in training

    I don't have that installed, I use MSE. I always left the memory voltage default. I did a clean reinstall of the OS on a new harddrive already and the problem persists, so I'm reasonably sure it's not a software issue.

    Just trying to get my bearings here, once more...
    The minidump shows SRVNET.SYS
  10. Annihilator Newcomer, in training

    Oh, great. That's something new then. Up until now it was always HAL.dll I believe.

    I see now why you ask, I googled and it SRVNET.SYS came up with AVG. But yeah, I never used that.
  11. Tmagic650 TechSpot Ambassador

    You got that too (HAL.dll)... Program conflicts, who knows. Raise the memory to 1.56
  12. Annihilator Newcomer, in training

    But those persisted after reinstalling the whole OS (onto an ssd this time), and I only installed the necessary. Anti virus, video card drivers, sound drivers.

    So what else could this be? Is the processor likely? I just saw some cpus have 3 year warranty with AMD. Should I try that, or is it unlikely to be the CPU?

    If it's not the CPU and I send it to AMD then I won't have the PC for at least another month, and then it would still not be fixed. But right now I don't know what else I could do.
  13. Tmagic650 TechSpot Ambassador

    We have been at this for some time now. I just don't see bad CPU's... The temps are good, you don't have a Asus motherboard:)... Bios settings, power supply, programs okay

    RMA the CPU I guess, good luck ;)
  14. Annihilator Newcomer, in training

    Aw... :( What else could it be then? I don't want to just RMA the CPU when it is unlikely to be the culprit. That will take the PC out for another month at least, and I need it to work. This last month was very inconvenient already, to say the least.
