BSoD 0x7E Windows Vista Ultimate x64
I'm recieving a BSoD on every 2nd or 3rd boot after I installed Windows Vista Ultima x64. Here are the specs of the system. CPU: Intel Core 2 Duo E6700 2.6GHz Motherboard: Asus Striker Extreme Chipset: Nvidia SLi 680 SPP Video Card: Nvidia GeForce 8800 GTX (x2 SLI) RAM: A-Data 4x 2GB PC2-6400 400 MHz I've tried booting without SLi. I've tried to rule out faulty memories and faulty memory slots on the motherboard and from that I noticed that whenever I boot with only 1 ram memory from the first slot the boot works every time without a BSoD appearing. However if I were to plug in a 2nd memory the BSoD appears and same with the 3rd and 4th. This happens no matter what slots I put them in. I've tried flashing the bios with no success. I've tried newer drivers for the chipset. The diagnostic tests I've run on the memories has all passed. I also considered the video card drivers might be the cause of the issue but seeing how everything works as long as I only one memory stick at a time I doubt that's the cause for it. I read around on the web and found that in general this BSoD could point towards a faulty harddrive but I have a hard time believing that the harddrive could be causing this issue due to the memory part. Any ideas? All I can think about at this moment is that the motherboard can't handle the pressure from working 8 GB of ram and SLi. But then again... It should be able to handle 4GB but it doesn't. Could it be that the hardware isn't compatible with a 64 bit version of Vista Ultimate? I've never heard of hardware working with a 32 bit version but not a 64 bit version tho. |

BSoD 0x7E Windows Vista Ultimate x64
Did you apply the kb929777 patch with just one stick of ram installed or
install the latest service pack to overcome the problem? http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929777 Animenia wrote: I'm recieving a BSoD on every 2nd or 3rd boot after I installed Windows Vista Ultima x64.

Knowing the detailed message of the BSOD would help. Is the BSOD type the same in each case ? Have you followed a tweaking guide for your motherboard ? The Asus forum has a sticky posting at the top, "CPU Init", with some suggested tweaks. Sometimes the RAM needs a little extra voltage, to be stable. Undoubtedly, your motherboard has lots of settings to adjust. http://vip.asus.com/forum/topic.aspx...ngu age=en-us Paul |
