Solve : Blue error screen on newly built computer?

Answer»

Hi, I have recently put together a computer package for the first time and installed Windows 7 64-bit on it. The actual construction and OS installation went flawlessly, but almost immediately a bluescreen error message began coming up periodically. Whe  I restart the computer it works again, but after a while the error message comes up again. I have not really been able to interpret what the problem is but I have checked and there are no drivers missing. I can also add that when the computer is running it works without any problems and I can even play several new games without it hacking.

EDIT: Now a new error message came up:

the computer in question has the following components:
# AMD Athlon X2 II 250, 3.0GHz, AM3, 2MB, 65W, Boxed
# OCZ Value. DDR3 1333MHz 4GB, CL9, Kit w / two matched ValueRAM 2GB DDR3
# GF615M MSI-P33, Socket AM3, m-ATX, GEFORCE 6150se, DDR3, SATAII, GbLAN, PCI-Ex16
# Sapphire Radeon HD 4670 1GB DDR2, 750MHz
# 250 GB HDD
# 500 W PSU

I am very grateful if I can get some help with this so that I can finally start using my new computer without having to fear that it will suddenly stop working.

Thanx1.  BlueScreenView.  Download, unzip, and run Nirsoft's BlueScreenView.  This program will extract information from the minidumps on your system and display them in a format that makes it easier to look for a "pattern" (similarities or differences).  If you're getting different Stop Codes on your BSODs, it might prove useful.  If you're getting the same Stop Code, it will show that also.

Hold off on this for now - but if needed, these procedures "borrowed" from Broni permit you to gather data in format that may be posted to a thread:

Download BlueScreenView
No installation required.
Double click on BlueScreenView.exe file to run the program.
When scanning is done, go Edit>Select All.
Go File>Save Selected Items, and save the REPORT as BSOD.txt.
Open BSOD.txt in Notepad, copy all content, and paste it into your next reply.

2.  "athrxusb.sys" Driver.  The Blue Screen of Death (BSOD) on your Stop Code "0x000000D1" flagged driver "athrxusb.sys" as the culprit.  If your BSODs consistently finger this driver, you should replace it.  Uninstall and reinstall this driver, download a "fresh" copy, or look for a newer (or different) version.
 
One website identified this as an Atheros driver for a USB "wireless" adaptor.

3.  Memory Diagnostic.  If your BSODs identify many different Stop Codes and/or culprits, you should test your system RAM.  Even if you don't suspect memory, it's worthwhile to exercise the motherboard, CPU, and memory independent of the Windows software.

Download the "free" diagnostic software at either www.memtest86.com  or www.memtest.org  and create the desired bootable media.  Boot the program and let it run indefinitely ( key to exit).Hi,

■Ensure that you have plenty of disk space
■Remove the third-party video driver
■Upgrade to the newest BIOS version, and ensure that it's on the Microsoft Hardware Compatibility List (HCL) Sorry my Post was deleted by someone who takes things to seriously. Quote from: johngetter on May 14, 2010, 04:17:15 PM
