Hi I just built a new computer a couple days ago, got everything assembled yesterday, installed Windows 7 and was seemingly up and running but then I realized it would blue screen and crash every so often. My specs:
Gigabyte 880-GA-UD3H rev 3.0
AMD Phenom 2 Quad Core 3.2ghz
8 gigs Corsair XMS3 dual channel DDR3 Ram
MSI N550 GTX-TI 1gig DDR5 Video card
Ultra X4 600 watt PSU (modular)
Seagate 1TB 7200 HD
Windows 7 professional 64 bit
Once Windows was installed and I started doing windows updates it was having trouble with the updates. When it would try to restart it would log me off, attempt to configure the update and then crash. I eventually got all the updates installed doing one or two at a time. I think Windows even gave me an update to fix the crashing updates.
The computer runs seemingly well, but blue screens at random times, with random error messages. Once of the more common ones is "Bad Pool Header" another one is "IRQL NOT LESS OR EQUAL" other times there is no error message.
I tried to update my BIOS using the @BIOS program, but that will not work, it says it cant find the bin file from the server or something. I tried to download the BIOS from the website and run the FLASHSPI file but that said something about being 32 bit IIRC.
I don't know what else to do. It sees all my memory, my processor, my hard drive, video card... all seem to run smooth, except for the random crashes.
I was even able to download Steam, download one of the free games and run it for a while, but then it crashed after about 15mins with a different sort of error which didn't seem to be related to the blue screens.
Anytime I try to run and check the Windows Experience Index, it crashes.
Help me.
