Bluescreen crashes with MSI x58 PRO-E motherboard

[EliteGhost]

Hey people,

Now I know there is a thread for the BIOS versions of ATI (7.3 version) and the SLI supporting 8.xx versions, but I'm confused.
Just bought a new motherboard and its been giving me bluescreens over and over. I've sorted out 1 reason, but now something else is going on. I'm just wondering, does having an ATI HD5870 and the BIOS driver 8.D together could have anything to do with it? should I go back to 7.3? (if that is possible).

Right, after a reminder.
My rig:

CPU: Intel i7 950 @ 3.06 Ghz (so not overclocked)
Mobo: MSI x58 PRO-E (BIOS version 8.D)
RAM: 12GB ADATA 1333
PSU: Cooler Master 900W
GFX Card: XfX ATI HD5870 Black Ed. (CCC version: 10.10)
Hard Drive:
1x 700 mb hard drive (I think its a Samsung) @ 7200 rpm (OS installed)
1x 1 TB hard drive from Samsung @ 7200 rpm
Windows 7 64Bit

Sound Card: Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi Extreme Audio

a quick view on the error report:

I'm a little confused by this sentance too. First, since you are running ATI, bios 7 series or 8 series makes no difference as the 8 series enables nVidia SLI on all released versions of the Pro-E. Yes, you can reverse flash to an earlier version, but in this case, there are so many fixes & improvements, updating to the very newest only makes sense.

Just bought a new motherboard and its been giving me bluescreens over and over.

Just guessing here, but pretty sure it's a RAM problem. For now, just run one stick RAM in the primary black DIMM slot. If you can get into Windows, uncheck Auto Restart in Startup & Recovery so the BSOD's will stay on screen to be able to read the 'Stop' code. Just another guess, but not surprised if it shows up as 0x00000050 or an IRQ Less Than Equal. If all is well with just one stick, add another two into the remaining two black DIMM slots & test again. No BSOD's? Then it is going to boil down on how to get 12GB to work.

The details of your system as Jack has requested that you provide (as well as CPUID's CPU-Z), are going to be key in helping you. Include the PSU Amps on the +12V rail(s) as well as the specs on that RAM.

Ahw never mind actualy. I uninstalled my soundcard drivers and everything is working like a charm.
New lets see if that CPU fan is broken or is just doing nothing cause the CPU is cool enough because of the side case fan (which also makes the cpu fan turn slowly xD.)

thanks for the help anyway.
It did have something to do with the RAM. I couldn't read anything but it did say something about a memory error at the top of the blue screen.

Glad you found the problem & it is resolved. As for RAM problems, they can be some of the toughest to sort out & fix.

Problem not fixed. That day was more like random luck. I guess the PC didn't use the 1 bar of RAM cause the PC didn't crash for a while. But today it did so again. So I tried memory testing programs and but the bars in 1 by 1 (takes hours to test that). Nr1 was good, Nr2 was good, Nr3 no problems.. Nr 4 was about to be tested as I booter my laptop.. BLUE SCREEN. Guess I got the little basterd. Not lets see if there are any other faulthy ram bars. I hope not...

going back to the store next monday... still got my warrenty

still having thr bloody bluescreens. Its not the RAM since I ran memtests, its not the MOBO since I replaced it. Neither is it the harddrive since I got 2 new ones...

"ntkrnlmp.exe" seems to be the problem. I realy don't get it.
I'll upload a dumpfile when I get back home.

Instead of uploading the dumpfile, can you please analyse the BSOD with BlueScreenView and post screen shots like below:
