Didn't know KUC till now. So I have never used it. I am still firmly on the idea of a malware of some sort, a worm or a rootkit probably.
Don't you think it might be a bit dangerous brother? I mean I can't afford enjoying adventure much, eventhough I like it like crazy.
No danger involved here, as 2T is marginally slower than 1T, but more stable . Would only be dangerous to raise the voltage over 1,8V.
If you keep getting bsod's there is a real possibility your windows install is now corrupted. Taking a look at the dump, this Code: halmacpi.dll looks like it is the culprit. If it were me fresh install, and update the drivers from the manufacturers site, don't let Windows do the update. After further checking, it is part of Windows. Any shady software on your rig?
Thank you. OK then, I will give that a try and see how that will go down. Aside from the fact that there is a high possibility that I will not get a chance to turn this system on again for about a good two or more years, starting about four weeks from now, and also not considering the fact that I have tried installing the same and different versions of all kinds of operating systems on this machine to see if it would stop giving me errors and stops or not, I honestly don't have enough energy and enthusiasm to go through another OS install - apps install - millions of bytes update install - and having my system giving me BSODs all over again. As a matter of fact I installed debian, this time using kde instead of gnome, last night, to get a good big stop error right after the system was booted up. But thank you for your kindness my man. Oh also I didn't fully understood you message, you mean that "halmacpi.dll" is corrupted in my machine? should I replace it with a new "halmacpi.dll" file from another machine? No brother, nothing shady over here, I got the Windows seven DVD iso file right from Microsoft, and I also double checked the MD5 and sha256 of all the drivers and installation files of my applications.
Give the Command Rate of 2T a chance. How many RAM sticks we are talking about? Did you seat them according to the boards manual? EDIT:=============== To check system files for corruptions and repair (in admin command prompt): Code: sfc /scannow
will do. just one RAM stick, and yes I did install it according to the manual. Although I am curious how many ways would it be possible to install a RAM stick and expect it to work? Nowadays I run that command more than how many times a day I brush my teeth and how many times a day I eat a snack altogether, every day. And every single time it says it did not find any violations. And I don't know if I should or , honest.
OK, if sfc passes it's less likely an issue with a system file . When i see you were experiencing this with several installs you did, i would test the timings route. First set the lower Command Rate then you can opt for slightly raising the voltage to 1,6-1,7V (i assume you're using DDR3 RAM). If you don't raise it higher it won't harm the hardware ... still be careful when doing.
Lary_the_0 according to yours Motherboard manual the Crucial DDR3 that you are using are not compatible with your GA-H81M-S2PV h t t p://download.gigabyte.eu/FileList/Memory/mb_memory_ga-h81m-s2pv.pdf You should try with another mem if you have it preferably one from this pdf
Just because the ram isn't on the QVL, doesn't mean it's not compatible. The QVL, means that the manufacturer tested those kits with that motherboard. If it's ddr 3, then it will work.

Your overclock, is probably too aggressive. If it were me, I'd reset the bios to optimized defaults, and do a fresh install (updates,drivers, etc). Then you can image your hard drive. Then I would overclock is small steps, testing with p95. Your install is corrupted, there really isn't a fix for a corrupted install, except a fresh install. I mention imaging your hard drive, right after the install, so if you have any problems you can always reimage. Clonezilla works well.
No overclocking. I am not a fan of changing the default clock of electronic stuff. the bios is already set to the optimized defaults, and considering the age of my current Windows 7, it is pretty new, installed it 2 or 3 weeks ago.
The only way to success is a strict troubleshooting. If you want to go on on the 'software side' you should: -update to the latest BIOS -Make a clean install (format C:\ or even better re-partition everything before you install w7), install latest chipset driver and GPU driver and all WUs But since you have said that you did that already some weeks ago, you need to continue on the hardware side. You need replacement parts. -Try another RAM bar, only one, or try just one at different slots. -Try another PSU -Try another HDD -Try another GPU . . . Try another mainboard. I have assembled many PCs and also did troubleshooting. IMHO your mainboard perhaps RAM related parts on the board could be the problem. I know this is annoying to test....but...mostly I ended with a mainboard replacement...the order is made that most probable parts (IMHO) are first..(besides of the entire mainboard itself)
You have a memory issue most likely, it will manifest itself on everything else. Since memory is cheap you should get or at least borrow a known good stick of memory to test. Try Kingston memory they generally are fine on all boards.
Yepperoni, Problem solved. RAM turned out to be the issue. After almost two years, now my PC is not pissing me off. Eventhough it is not a really good PC, capable of running GTA V, but it helps me with my every day stuff.
