the asus was a board i had had the chipset hsf issue with: it was barely noticable. i caught it before i installed the mobo. actually, the only real bluescreen issues i have ever had were with asus boards. i won't buy another one. bios and driver conflicts were the norm. i ended up pulling the drives on it and transplanting them to a dfi. after a hal fix, i never had issues. heck, the last time i saw a bluescreen was two years ago, with the a8n sli...i hope it is just some simple thing. :roadrunner:

EDIT: sorry to sound so caviler/flip. i just really didn't like the asus stuff i had. i could be a very isolated case, and you might just be having probs caused by running a sata optical...
No thang, mane. I opened her up and took her apart. Well, as far as the cpu socket goes, there seemed to be some very minute discoloration. It could've been a little dust or some errant thermal paste. Either way it was barely noticeable. However, the heatsink itself and my case in general had been overrun by the dust bunnies of doom. I took it all apart, cleaned off all the AS5, and blew out all the dust with a can of air and a paintbrush. I really had to work on that monster Zalman.

This time, when installing the cpu, I used the "spread the thermal paste out" method as opposed to the "throw the glob in the middle and hope for the best". Even though the AS5 hasn't had the time to settle, my temps seem to be down a little bit. Whether it's from the cleaning out of the whole box or the fresh cpu install I'm not sure. Temps now are: Idle- cpu 36C, MB 35C and Folding 100% load- 49C, MB 41C.

One thing I did notice in passing that may have been the culprit is that the top screw holding the Zalman onto the CPU seemed really easy to unscrew, as if it wasn't tight at all...

Regardless, I did everything right, got it cleaned up, and screwed that monster of a HS back on tightly. Now it's time to play the waiting game.

Btw, all the temps and everything are while OC'd at 2.815/DDR512 where I usually keep it. It's pretty cool considering the crappy airflow in my case.

Thanks for the help, and here's to no more BSOD's. :talker:

the "easy to unscrew" is worrisome, though i bet the cleaning will do wonders for all the rest of the mobo components. a cooler cap is a happy cap :roadrunner:

While it seems to have calmed down a bit, I have still got an occasional BSOD. Just got an IRQL NoT LESS OR EQUAL blah blah blah.

I was wondering if anyone could tell me if my IRQ stuff looks alright. I notice that my RAID is sharing an IRQ with some PCI to USB thingie. Whatcha think?

:chriso: don worry homey IRQ sharing is common and neccessary in any modern setup as 16 physical interrupts is obviously not enuff , this feat is a bios assigned task using the automatic programable interrupt controller (or somethin close to that)....irq errors these days can often be traced to memory glitches or faulty drivers ....usually,........sometimes........ I think......hmmmmmmmmmmmmm :scara:

I think......hmmmmmmmmmmmmm :christo:

Given that my memory passes memtest for like 12 hours (though I know it isn't always accurated) combined with the fact that I did not get these errors/BSOD's in Vista 64 Ultimate I am thinking it has to be some kind of driver thingimabob. I thought that since one of the symptoms was that apparently a USB port or two is no longer operable that perhaps it had something to do with the PCI to USB/RAID controller (where my RAID array is) IRQ sharing. I've seen errors ranging from IRQ to memory corruption to blah blah blah.

WHAT IS IT MAN?!?!?! :chriso: :scara: :unsure:

:chriso: I finally got a sata dvdrw....samsung , called TSSTcorp by my pc, and although the setup probs and stuff we previously saw with sata optical drives, seems to have been solved, I had to reflash the firmware in the drive to cure some write errors when burning dvd disks. Now it does work flawlessly :scara: oh yeah Eni are u oc'ed at all? :unsure:

Keerect, sir. However, these errors have occurred when there was no OC at all. I think it has to be something software/driver based because of the problems not occurring on Vista. However...w/Vista I saw an approximate 50% decrease in FPS in Steam games and that is a definite no-no for me.

:clarky:u mite at the clean install stage and testing between each driver install, and eventually at every app install, tedious and boring but it may be what it takes broheim :chriso: and don forget MO's idea about installing raid-free too

:D :rofl: :rofl:

Ya see, the problem with that is the BSODs are so intermittent. I've had two in the last three days, so there would be no way to tell by waiting after every driver install unless I gave each one like a week. :(

Anyhow, here's the last two BSOD debugs if anyone thinks they can decipher 'em. I'm telling ya, I always get the most ambiguous, hard to track down PC issues. For the record, this RAM I have was tested by Super Talent themselves for over 24 hours and had no errors, but that was a year or two ago. (That's back when I found out it I had a brand new Asus mobo with faulty DIMM slots) I guess it's possible that it went haywire, but if it's hardware I'd be quicker to blame the mobo.

SYSTEM_THREAD_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED_M (1000007e)
This is a very common bugcheck. Usually the exception address pinpoints
the driver/function that caused the problem. Always note this address
as well as the link date of the driver/image that contains this address.
Some common problems are exception code 0x80000003. This means a hard
coded breakpoint or assertion was hit, but this system was booted
/NODEBUG. This is not supposed to happen as developers should never have
hardcoded breakpoints in retail code, but ...
If this happens, make sure a debugger gets connected, and the
system is booted /DEBUG. This will let us see why this breakpoint is
happening.
Arguments:
Arg1: 80000004, The exception code that was not handled
Arg2: 8064ad86, The address that the exception occurred at

One more thing: It's pretty important for me to find out if it's a hardware problem because if it is then what I'll probably do is jet my 175 back to Newegg and start saving for a full upgrade sooner rather than later. I don't need to be buying a 939 cpu AND ram or mobo. That's just crazy. :foldon2km4:
