Hello!


I've been experiencing BSODs (IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL, PAGE_FAULT_IN_NON_PAGED_AREA, and MEMORY_MANAGEMENT) on a new computer setup that I assembled with a used motherboard and CPU. The computer sometimes BSODs while doing normal tasks like web browsing, but gaming and running stress tests (such as AIDA64 Memory Stress Test) will crash the computer in less than 5 minutes. I did not perform any sort of overclocking, I am using default BIOS settings.


Computer Specifications:

Windows 7 Ultimate SP1

i7-3770K, ASRock Z68M-ITX/HX

Crucial Ballistix Sport 16GB Kit (2 x 8GB) DDR3-1600 UDIMM

Samsung Evo 850 250GB

MSI N560GTX-TI TWIN FROZR II/OC


Here are the minidump and my msinfo files.

Windows has been updated to the latest version and I've run disk check on my hard drives and found no problems, same for RAM with memtest86. I've also tried using different versions of the BIOS provided by ASRock but to no avail. Using driver verifier, I can still BSOD the computer (such as by running AIDA64 or gaming) but it still does not tell me the specific driver.



I've tested all the hardware listed on another motherboard with no issues. The motherboard might be faulty but I'm not sure how to check. From my research, I think it is a driver related issue, but I do not know how to proceed in troubleshooting. A possible clue is that in the user manual for my motherboard (ftp://europe.asrock.com/Manual/Z68M-ITXHT.pdf), on the last page there are instructions to install the hotfix KB979903 (which can cause similar BSOD issues) for 64bit Windows 7. However, when I try to install the hotfix, I get the message "This update is not applicable to your computer".


Any help will be greatly appreciated!
