Thank you for responses, I'll try to give you feedback asap

we will be awaiting, rgds

>> its having some issues from the start. << was this BEFORE overclocking? this points to hardware problems
>> I could do some serious over-clocking << post more info on what you are pushing
do you monitor the temps? it is wise to keep an eye on them - when O'Cing; install a temperature monitor for cpu, mobo, disk and video
here a starter SPEEDFAN : http://www.almico.com/speedfan.php

Dear Nobus,

It whas already having some problems when I first installed windows, but As I needed to reinstall again a week later to use the SSD I imagined It would be fixed by then.

Then we starten overclocking until 4.2 GHz, as it became unstable very quickly we immediately reset the OC in Bios.

I always monitor my temperatures, They are as they should be.

>> It whas already having some problems << this means the problem is NOT SSD - but the rest
i understand it never worked ok?
then it can be ram incompatibility ?
check if the ram model you have is listed on the supported ram list for the motherboard
also verify if the ram voltage is set correct, soem use 1.5 V, some 1.6 or 1.8V

ASKER

Any Tips on where to find that information?

And I Also think the SSD is giving some Issues altough not sure.

Recently I had a blue screen "STOP: 0x0000007A"

you can find the info in the manual of the mobo - on the manufacturer's site - on the internet
or post the ram model and the mobo model

pls send here memory dump (minidump), it will reveal us more what`s wrong there, from this error "STOP: 0x0000007A" we cannot guess anything

@ KanalQko,

I'll upload the Minidump file later today. The moment I get home from work.

@Nobus,
The Hardware models are all on the Top,
If you don't have enough information please tell me so.

@KanalQko
I've checked my Minidump map and it whas empty.
But when a Blue screen happens it says:
Initializing crash dump files etc. Don't go further.

@Nobus
I only O'Ced the Ghz of the processor from 3.4 to 4.2 in steps of 0,5.
I did not continue to OC any other components due to instability.

please send that minidump, have you loaded symbols, etc? if you hadn`t loaded symbols then dump must be empty

ASKER

@KanalQko,

What do you mean with loaded symbols? I'll just zip it and send it soon.

>> I've bought my PC like a half year ago and its having some issues from the start. << you can still clain a warranty replacement also - or repair

ASKER

I know I can, But then I'm without a computer for a long time. Can't afford that. Only when I'm really sure what the problem is. So they don't have to waste time finding it.
Because they will format everything, renew this, renew that and you got yourself a new computer after 2 months + worth of time :)

Initializing crash dump files --> here they say it can be because of the page file on another disk : http://www.sevenforums.com/crashes-debugging/195637-repeating-bsod-never-get-minidump-file-always-0x0000007a.html

here it can be caused by a game : http://forums.steampowered.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1876534

ASKER

I've Read the entire post. Either It does not give me a solution I'm afraid.

Where can I locate this page file?

I shall try the settings that need to be adjusted and we will see what It shall give me.

if you will open any crash dump without loaded symbols, then you will see nothing, at least you should load MS symbols for dump debugging.

ASKER

@KanalQko,

Tell me how to ensure these symbols are active?

PS: There is nothing in the /minidump map. Its completely empty no .dmp files.

Page file :
1•Go to control panel>system and security>system
2•Click on advanced tab
3•In performance section click on settings
4•Now click on Advanced > click on Change in the Virtual Memory section
5•Change the virtual memory [pagefile size] to the size you like
6•Restart your PC

I've enabled minidump,

So now its to wait for a BSOD.

But in this weekend I will be reinstalling my PC.

An upgrade for an SSD will be required.

look that you have the latest firmware for it..

ASKER

Just Updated my Firmware,

Reinstalled Windows 7 Clean.

Lets hope I don't get Blue Screens anymore :)

If so I'll accept a solution

ok - waiting then...

ASKER

So I've Updated the firmware of my SSD,
Reinstalled Clean windows 7

computer seems stable for now.

If he becomes unstable again I'll let you guys know!

Thanks for the help/tips
