While I'm playing games, my computer has either hanged, rebooted itself, or gave me a BSOD. I have RMA'd my board a few times(due to other problems), I've ran Memtester over and over again on my RAM, and I'm unsure of what then ext step would be. I have a few crash dumps that reference ntkrnlpa.exe but no idea what that means heh.

My Event logs mention Event 1003, Category 102,

I will attach a few of my dumps here if you wouldn't mind looking at them.

I'm not very good with minidumps - I probably know just enough to be dangerous. Regardless, I looked at yours.

The one dated the 15th had an issue with your port.sys driver which is related to you sound card.

The one dated the 17th, I couldn't figure out - looks like it made a call to win32k.sys outside of it's memory space.

The one dated the 12th had an issue with kmixer.sys - which again is related to the sound card.

Is you sound card on board the MB or a separate card? Have you been having any strange issues with you sound card? Are the drivers up-to-date?

My sound is integrated and it should all be up to date... i'm usually pretty good on updating all of my drivers.

Especially since i've been having issues lately, I have been updating all I can

The problems only occur when i'm using up a lot of the resources, I.E. while i'm playing games. I do have a pretty small wattage PSU, but I am waiting on a 600w PSU that's in transit to my house. I wasn't sure if all of these problems could be related to that or not?

A weak or marginal powersuppy could cause all kinds of erratic and unpredicatable problems. Keep us up to date when you get it.

 

[Nate92086]

I'll definitely keep you guys updated, in the meantime here are the only other 2 crash dumps that I have had since my new board

I believe that my PSU is too weak to handle all that is in my box, so hopefully the new PSU fixes a lot of problems

Hi Nate92806

I believe your problem is related to hardware and not software. My assumption you problem : 70% is related to RAM, 20% is M/B and 10% is PSU
