    Set of test utilities for DIY computer builders:

    Note: If you are OverClocking or use any automatic overclocking or power saving BIOS features, start out by disabling them: Intel EIST, Turbo Mode, Cool and Quite  and drop back to the stock speed as a starting point.


    Disconnect any other internal hard drives and external USB devices.
    Check for any loose hard drive power or SATA cables, Graphics card or other power cables.

    First run Memtest86+: 
    This runs from a boot disk or CD and should eliminate or confirm if your one or more of your memory
    sticks are bad or the SPD values in the BIOS are correct.
    Let it run for as long as you can: 2,4,6,8 or more hours (at least 3 full passes), if no errors by then your ram is OK.

    Hard drive Testing:
    Test your drive - Create a Bootable CD:
    Anywhere from 5 to 20%, (depending on the manufacture) of new hard drives are defective. Test your drive using the drive manufacture's utility. If you have a new Seagate hard drive the very next thing would be to download Seagate's Seatools (the bootable CD) and check for bad sectors:

    After Windows is installed:

    Device Drivers: Did you install the motherboard manufacture's latest device drivers?
    Check their support site for the latest drivers as the CD that came with the computer
    or motherboard may be older and less stable drivers.

    Check the Graphics card manufacture's download site: Download and install the most recent Windows 7 drivers for your card.

    It's a stand alone .exe file contained in a .zip archive.
    Just choose to run the "stress test" option for 8 hours or more.
    If your PC can pass this test both your memory and CPU
    are fine (close the case cover to maintain proper ventilation)

    Core Temp:
    Monitor the temperature of each core of your processor.
    Note: For non overclockers using the stock Intel/AMD heatsink and cooling fan you can expect
    a temperature range of 35 to 40C at idle and from 60C to 65C max when running Prime95.

    CPU-ID has two tabs -  'Memory' tab which show the actual memory speed
    and the 'SPD' tab shows the rated speeds for each memory slot that is populated.
    Note #2:
    Compair the two values, the actual memory speed should not exceed the rated speed of your memory.

    You could do all the above and still have no idea of what the problem is, all results will need some interpretation and could still point to the wrong component.

    How about you check with a good overclocking forum that specialises in fixing these kinds of problems; my guess is that some minor changes to the voltages for the RAM/CPU, possibly changing the RAM speed a little, maybe replacing the PSU with a better quality one, will get your PC up and running correctly. You didn't list your RAM make model either, there's a chance that it's not 100% compatible with your 'board.

    Which is why I'm waiting for some feedback.

    1) If the RAM voltage is set too low Memtest will fail.

    2) If the CPU voltage is marginal Prime95 will fail within 45 minutes or less.

    3) If the RAM voltage is marginal it may pass Memtest but will fail Prime95, usually between 45 minutes and 8 hours of when you start Prime95.

    If you'd chosen an initial Post based on the latest one, I wouldn't have bothered replying ;)

    As it was, it looked more likely to frighten the OP away!

    Nice diags list though (most people now suggest 7+ - 10 passes for Memtest86+). Memory testing is, well random <shrug>

    These are the same utilities I use to build and overclock my computers and several for friends.  The OP most likely built his own based on the parts lists and at least one or more components came from NewEgg.

    I find 3 passes is usually enought as Prime95 will catch the rest. Usual rule of thumb is overclock to the max and then back off on the CPU clock speed by 10 to 20%.

    Sound easy but it really consumes days worth of testing and retesting before I'm satisfied the system is stable.

    Hello,

    FAILURE_BUCKET_ID:  X64_0x124_AuthenticAMD_PROCESSOR_CACHE_PRV

    Please start by updating your AMD processor driver and check results. If this does not help, I would recommend contacting AMD Technical Support for assistance.
