Hi,
I've recently built a new PC (see specs in signature) which freezes/BSODs once in a while and I can't figure out what the problem is. The PC runs fine for several days and out of nowhere (maybe!) it BSODs or freezes. I can't make any sense out of the minidump files (even after running them thru Windows debugging tools) so I'm hopping that someone can point me to the right direction.
The PC is not overclocked, everything is running at stock rating except for the memory which I bumped the voltage from the rated 2.1v to 2.2v and reduced the rated timing from 5-5-5-15 to 5-7-7-16 because I'm using all 4 mem slots (so I read somewhere). Running the 8Gb at rated settings causes memtest86+ to error every time on test 5.
Anyway, memtest86+ runs without error for 8+ hours, P95 runs for 12+Hours with no error and windows memory also runs fine, all the temps a within range (CPU at 32C idle, 45C in load).
I noticed that the PC freezes when using Skype+video web cam and BSODs when encoding DVDs using ConvertXtoDVD (could be coincidence!). Having said that, I maybe talking on skype for hours while encoding DVD without problem for a few days and the next it would freeze or BSOD within 2 hours. At night I put the PC in sleep mode (I rarely turn it off).
The PC was OC'ed but because of the problems I set everything back to stock rating with the same issues.
Attached are the last 3 minidump for whoever would be so kind to help me out. Unfortunately the dmp files are bigger than 200k so I had to zip them.
Thanks
