I just built a new system. I have been having problems from the start.
The system:
Processor – AMD Phenom II x6 2.8GHz 1055T
MB – Asus M4A89GTD with USB 3
RAM – Gskill RipJaws 2x4GB DDR-3 666MHz CAS: 9-9-9-24
PSU – Antec EA750 750W
Video Card – Sapphire Radeon HD 5850
HD – Western Digital Caviar Green 2TB
Windows 7 x64

I have been getting BSOD (six crashes in 3hr. as reported by BlueScreenView). BlueScreenView reported an UNEXPECTED_KERNEL_MODE_TRAP caused by driver ntoskrnl.exe.
I ran Memtest86 v4.10 for 19h and 20m for a total of 11 passes and it found 0 errors.
Ran each stick separately through memtest86 with no errors.

I tried disconnecting the video card and using the onboard one, made no difference.

Installed Ubuntu and I never managed to get it to crash with that. I think that would mean its not a hardware issue. Does anyone agree?

I have reinstalled windows a few times and it seems to run ok for awhile meaning a day to 3 days. Then, I start getting blue screens.

I am pissed right now put all this money into a system and from day one it blue screens.

Thanks, any help will be appreciated.
 
I ran the WD diagnostic. The quick scan came back with a pass. I tried to run the extended but it crashed in the process. I am running it again now
 
Always run the long scan. If it crashes again, then you can assume you have a failing hard drive.
 
Should I try running it in safe mode or something?

Can I RMA it?

Would a hard drive run for a few days with no problem after windows installation and then all of a sudden cause intermittent problems?

Thanks
 
If the test crashes without an error code from the program you may have to take it somewhere to get diagnosed. If the drive is bad, you can rma it.
 
Most likely hardware issue. The problem being, finding out what hardware is causing the issue.
 
It says there is a way to make the diagnostic tool bootable on the WD site, but I cant figure it out.

What else do you think it could be other than the hard drive?
 
ntoskrnl.exe could be a number of things, Kernel. If it was a hardware issue, I doubt you could have even got windows installed. Since its a new install, have you tried doing a clean install? Has it got aleast bios 1301 installed?
 
Is a clean install just formatting the drive and installing windows?

How do I check if I have bios 1301 installed? I did try updating the Bios
 
Yes, I have done a clean install about 4 times now each worked for a bit from a day to 3 days then I can into problems.

I will check the bios tomorrow

Thanks
 
yes the memory is set to default or auto for everything.

I found a driver thats not installed in the device manager. Do you think this could be my problem?

It is the Ethernet Controller.
The problem is it cant find the drivers, and I dont know who made it so I cant find them either.

The mother board is:

If that helps.

I talked to some Tech guys at work and they seemed to think it was a driver issue or compatibility issue with window 7

Thanks.
