Howdy! After a months worth of collecting components (the list of which is in my profile), I finally built my new machine yesterday. However, I have been plagued by problems since initial boot. Fortunately, through some extensive searching, I'm down to only two problems. The first, relatively minor problem is that Windows seems to recognize all three SATA drives, but only lists one as a drive under My Computer. Honestly not sure what to do about that one.
The second problem is much larger and troublesome. Although my system is stable at idle, as soon as I launch a game or do something that taxes the video card, I get a BSOD. "PAGE FAULT IN NONPAGED AREA." Occasionally it will list NTFS.sys as the probable cause, but usually it lists no file. Through searching, I found that the likely culprit is the RAM. I haven't yet been able to run memtest, but based on the number of similar threads I've found, the RAM generally passes it anyway. I'm posting some minidumps, mainly so I can narrow it down - I want to be certain that the RAM is the issue before I consider RMAing/returning it.
Any help whatsoever would be immensely appreciated. This computer is the most expensive piece of equipment I've ever purchased, and the fact that it isn't working correctly fills me with a special kind of dread.
Thanks guys!
