I have just built a new computer. And am getting BSODs. Here's my notes on them:

Errors Codes are as follows:

(I didn't write the codes down the first 2 times)

-this was the first time it did this (might be cause i enabled pagefile.sys before this crash?):

What I can say what i was doing when i got the blue screens:

-first two times all i know is i was in ventrilo (voice communication program) using a usb mic and one of those times i was playing Team Fortress 2
-3rd and 4th times i was recording with my Presonas Firestudio Project interface.
-5th crash i was away. i do'nt think i had anything major running and the screens were off and i was out of the room.
-6th crash i was playing DOD:S for about 30 mins Fire Studio project was off.
-7th crash playing TF2 for 5 mins at most. Fire Studio project was on and default audio device.

My system hiccups sometimes when it shouldn't with these specs. Such as when typing in a web browser sometimes I'll be typing and the cursor will freeze for a second then all that I typed while it was frozen will all pop out at once. or when playing games like TF2 there will be lots of sound loops (repeats a split second sound clip 3 to 5 times then proceeds) and video hiccups. these might be because my internet is bad also?

So far i have done the following to try to fix this error:

Ran:
-Disk Defrag on all drives
-Maleware (0 threats)
-IoBit secutry 360 (0 threats)
-AVG free (1 threat removed)

-Calculated my power supply using Antec's power supply calculator:
System Type: Single Processor
Motherboard: High End - Desktop
CPU: AMD Phenom II X6 1090T 3200 MHz Thuban
CPU Utilization (TDP): 90% TDP
RAM: 4 Sticks DDR3 SDRAM
Video Card: AMD Radeon HD 6870
Video Type: Single Card
Green SATA: 2 HDDs
Flash SSD: 1 Drive
DVD-RW/DVD+RW Drive: 1 Drive
USB: 3 Devices
IEEE-1394 FireWire: 1 Device
Fans
Regular: 1 Fan 120mm; 1 Fan 250mm;
LED: 1 Fan 92mm; 3 Fans 120mm;
Keyboard and mouse: Yes
System Load: 90 %
Recommended Minimum
PSU Wattage: 429 Watts

Neweggs power supply calculator: 527 Watts recommend

I'm 123-221 watts over recommend supply. shouldn't be a problem there.




-Did some GPU stress tests using FurMark:
First i did a Burn-In test for 30 minutes @ full screen Resolution: 1680x1050 (FS) - AA:2 samples:
max temp 81, avg fps 25, max fan speed 47%

then some Benchmarks at 1 min each one right after the other with little time in between to cool off:
-BM 1 SCORE:1488 points (24 FPS, 60000 ms) FPS: min:22, max:31, avg:24 - OPTIONS: DynBkg
-BM 2 SCORE:943 points (15 FPS, 60000 ms) FPS: min:13, max:19, avg:15 - OPTIONS: DynCam
-BM 3 SCORE:1318 points (21 FPS, 60000 ms) FPS: min:22, max:23, avg:21 - OPTIONS: none (burn in)
-BM 4 SCORE:646 points (10 FPS, 60000 ms) FPS: min:11, max:12, avg:10 - OPTIONS: XB
-BM 5 SCORE:2179 points (36 FPS, 60000 ms) FPS: min:34, max:40, avg:36 - OPTIONS: FX

no crashes. temps look good.





Thoughts of possible suspects:
-Driver issues? (sound cards?)
-Bad Windows install? Maybe bad windows install discs? Discs were bought off eBay and looked questionable. I will get new ones from M$ and reformat soon.
-When I first installed windows Pagefile.sys and hibernate.sys were huge (~13gb each) so i disabled hibernate and disabled Pagefile.sys. -I enabled my PageFile.sys after 6th crash to see if that helped but crashed again but i got a crash dump 7th time.
-Monitor issues? maybe the cabling on the second monitor is messing with something (DVI to HDMI converter on vid card with a HDMI to DVI cable to monitor). I just didn't have another DVI lying around). 2 different resolutions, sizes and aspect ratios?

Well after i lost nearly all my storage from my RAID falling apart, I recovered my data and decided to reformat and create a RAID 0 this time with my two 2tb hard drives. the system is running A LOT better. no hickups like before and no crashes for a month... until today.

after i installed sony vegas 10.0 X64 today, i was making a video and selected "selectivly prerender video" which i believe loads and renders the project into RAM and got a BSOD mid way through the rendering.

the BSOD created a dump and then rebooted the computer before i could write down the code or take a picture of it. anyways here's the dump info attached:
