Bluescreen and Minidump in Vista64

Hey there, new to the forum and need some help with my
"just-put-together" pc with 64bit Windows Vista. Had a lot of different
bluescreens, but those seemed to be the graphics card drivers.

But now i get stop blue screens with some numbers and stuff. Talks
about bios, drivers, harddisk tests and anti virus (which i just tried
changing without any luck).
Vista makes a minidump file of it. Any way i can chech that file, or
someone that can?

As you most likely have seen i don't exactly have a whole lot of
knowledge about this so any help is deeply appreciated.


Thanks!

Hi,

A new system that's blue screening with a myriad of different codes means
you have faulty hardware. Analyzing the dump file isn't going to help. You
need to start checking components.

Are you sure it's not some driver/software?

My ram has been in my friends comp for 4-5 days when i was waiting fo
all my parts. So nothing wrong with them. What could it be? Motherboard
hdd?

Thanks for answering, Rick

Hi,

Usually my suspects are in this order: ram, power supply, hard drive,
motherboard, processor. The ram is easy enough to check with the onboard
diagnostics, even if it ran ok in another system. A power supply tester is
easily found for a few bucks. Hard drive diagnostics are generally available
from the manufacturer. The motherboard would have to go back to the maker,
same for the processor.

If your error message was consistently the same, then I'd suspect a
software/driver issue. As you stated that it changed each time, this is a
fairly solid indicator of a hardware problem. It could be something as
simple as your timing in the system BIOS (please tell me you aren't
overclocking - if you are, don't).

As i said i fixed the first random bluescreens with new graphics card
drivers. But now i just got one back, "irql driver not less or equal".
So perhaps it is hardware? I feel the frustration creeping up my back


Havent overclocked, but there is some kind of "turbo function" on the
motherboard.

Just tested ram/cpu/motherboard with Prime95, no errors or faults.

Hey Folcom,

Not sounding good is it!!

A lot of problems with no helpfull system details

If you have just built your system I would suggest taking it apart and
building it new making sure that all componants are sitting and
connected properly. You then need to do a complete new install of vista,

You have not said what graphic card you are using but if it is from ATI
as I think then you need to follow very carefully the instructions to
install the drivers properly
hopefully this time things will work better

to work. Just buildt it yeah, considering checking all connections an
re-installing Vista.

Hey Folcom

Do not update your Bios in 64 bit

Use 32 bit
