Bsod stop code
Bsod stop code
Hello!
A few days ago I formatted all my drives and reinstalled Windows 10. Everything seemed normal.
Then yesterday I noticed a new BIOS version (5407) on the ASUS website and updated it. All my overclocking settings were reset, so I began experimenting again. I used all the settings exactly as they were before. Everything worked fine once more.
Later, I wanted to test stability with AIDA64. After a few minutes I received a BSOD with the memory management error code. After restarting, AIDA64 reported an error again. I tried Prime95 just to trigger another error, but only on my worker4. So I restarted it and got the same BSOD once more.
I've been searching for solutions for hours, but nothing has helped.
What I tried:
- Memory diagnostic tool – no errors
- Disk check (all drives) – no errors
- Update check – no success
- Crystal disk info – showed 197 relocated sectors on my empty HDD
My GPU drivers are Adrenalin 2020. I updated the latest chipset driver first.
I’m running out of ideas!
My system:
https://www.userbenchmark.com/UserRun/23929245
OC settings: 3.9GHz CPU (1.4 vcore), GPU on auto with graphics and SOC at 1.1 (maybe I should raise the SOC a bit?), RAM at 3066MHz (1.39 dram).
Performance boost – off
Global C state – off
LLRC – medium
Any idea if something went wrong?
Could it be that the default BIOS configurations are causing issues? Maybe the recent BIOS update interfered, leading to problems with the mixed memory.
Among all potential answers, I didn't start with the most straightforward option. After work, I plan to reset the BIOS settings to their default and observe the results. Could my earlier BIOS version have offered more opportunities for optimization?
The update aims to enhance system efficiency, though it's unclear exactly where the improvements were made.
Hey everyone, when I reset the BIOS to default, there were no errors. I suspect my CPU and RAM overclocking settings were too extreme. Raising the LLC level helped, and also increasing the SOC to 1.19 with a higher LLC setting worked well. However, I'm still unsure if it's safe to keep such high values for the SOC and Vcore along with aggressive LLC settings.
When you refresh your bios, you need to begin anew with any overclock attempt. BIOS modifications influence voltage regulation and memory reliability. Small adjustments in microcode also play a role in overclock performance. It's not about pushing too hard; even slight changes can lead to instability. Occasionally, a bios update proves more effective, allowing for better high-overclock results. That's why an overclocker selects the optimal bios for a specific board and avoids altering it. After each bios change, you must complete eight hours of stress testing to verify stability.
Hey there.
I'm joining this discussion a bit late today.
I have a comparable setup with a similar OC (though on another chip). After just updating the BIOS, it seems a bit unstable on my machine. Before the update, my rig was stable at 1.3v vcore and ran smoothly for two years without any problems. Since the update, that's not the case much anymore. With the same settings, I experience shutdowns during stress tests around 75c! This is quite unusual for my system.
The only changes I notice are that the bus speed has dropped to about 100mhz, compared to roughly 99.70 before the update and fluctuating slightly. Now it consistently hits 99.94-99.96. This directly impacts CPU clock speeds at OC levels—normally around 3890mhz, now it's running at 3897mhz. This tiny difference is making me re-test my OC for stability.
To the OP, your vcore is quite high. Could you lower it below 1.4v, even if it means losing a few millihertz? Are you applying an offset? That helps with OC tuning. My current setting is 1.375v with a -0.075 offset, which matches 1.3v. Using LLC can be beneficial for more aggressive OC settings as it helps prevent voltage droop, which can lead to instability. However, higher LLC settings might risk overvoltage, so keep that in mind. I leave mine at level 2, and it worked well with my previous OC. When I retest, I’ll share some new settings to see if they assist you.
