BSOD after overclocking on default settings.
BSOD after overclocking on default settings.
Hey everyone.
I'm trying to determine who's responsible for the BSoD issue.
I've previously overclocked the CPU and used water cooling, but I never found a stable temperature setting that prevented the error. Now I'm reverting back to default settings, which has been happening for about six months. The problem persists even on default configurations, and a recent BIOS update didn't resolve it.
I still experience BSoD occasionally, even when the PC is running light tasks like web browsing.
I had three SSDs in RAID0, so I disabled the RAID setup, reinstalled Windows, and after six days of a clean Windows 10 install, I encountered my first BSoD. It wasn't immediate—it took a restart and possibly around ten minutes before it appeared again. After that, I installed an audio driver from the motherboard support site (ASUS).
Over the past half year, I've tested various PSUs—voltages are within tolerance.
I also replaced my old RAM, but errors still appear occasionally when using memtest.
I've tried three different GPUs and consistently get BSoD with all of them.
So what remains to figure out?

- RAM speeds: 666 MHz (9-9-9-24), 592 MHz (8-8-8-22), 518 MHz (7-7-7-19), 444 MHz (6-6-6-16)
- Video Adapter: Asus GTX770-DC2 Series
- Disk Drives:

- KINGSTON SV300S37A120G (120 GB, SATA-III) x3
I have a dump file here: [link]
This information might help narrow down the cause.
I believe the issue lies with the asio.sys driver. It's possible it's related to heat, but I can't confirm. The ASUS website was unavailable, so check for updated drivers:

This outdated driver might be the cause.

Another older camera driver could also be problematic:

The CPU triggered a bugcheck due to an internal cache error when writing to (Proc 0 Bank 1).

Apologies for the mistake.
