I just built a new system and have got it running, however I am having random BSOD errors every now and then. I am not sure what is causing it as it happens randomly even when I repeat the same running conditions. The BSOD info is:
Problem signature:
Problem Event Name: BlueScreen
OS Version: 6.1.7600.2.0.0.256.48
Locale ID: 1033
Additional information about the problem:
BCCode: 1a
BCP1: 0000000000041790
BCP2: FFFFFA800268C650
BCP3: 000000000000FFFF
BCP4: 0000000000000000
OS Version: 6_1_7600
Service Pack: 0_0
Product: 256_1
Files that help describe the problem:
C:\Windows\Minidump\011810-22370-01.dmp
C:\Users\Tochiro\AppData\Local\Temp\WER-41465-0.sysdata.xml

I can't seem to find these error files or I would attach also.
I am running Win7 64bit on an Phenom II 965 processor in an Asus M4A79XTD EVO motherboard with 4GB GSkill 1866 DDR3 RAM (F3-15000CL9D-4GBRH) with a EVGA GTX 260 (192 version). Everything is at stock speeds, and I have a H50 cooler that keeps everything fairly cool (idles around 32 C, don't think it has gotten over 47 C loaded at stock speeds).
I have run memtest for a couple of hours and have got no errors. The bios is the most current version and I have installed all updates and drivers. I plan on doing a longer memtest soon. I would appreciate any help on this issue as I am not sure what the problem could be.

0x0000001A: MEMORY_MANAGEMENT

This memory management error is usually hardware related. See the General Troubleshooting of STOP Messages checklist above. If this occurs while installing Windows, also check the Windows system requirements including the amount of RAM and disk space required to load the operating system. If none of the above resolves the problem, see the MSDN article linked above for further steps.

Run memtest longer, for at least 15 passes. If it fails, try setting the RAM timings/voltages manually, according to G.Skill spec (instead of using AUTO). If it passes, in windows, run Prime95 blend test and set it to use most of your RAM. Report results.
 
Ok, I ran memtest for 16 cycles standard tests with no errors.

The first time I ran prime95, I got a weird BSOD error:

I ran Prime95 again to check and this time I got no errors at all when I left it running for like 8-10 hours.

Any ideas on what is causing the BSOD's?
 
Also, I have the RAM chips custom set at the 1.64V labeled on the packaging, but I have left the timers on auto. My power supply is still my Seasonic S12 600W.
 
set the main timings to spec manually and see if you get another bsod.

0x0000009F: DRIVER_POWER_STATE_FAILURE

A driver is in an inconsistent or invalid power state. Typically occurs during events that involve power state transitions, such as shutting down, or moving into or out of standby or hibernate mode.

I set the ram to the max frequency of 1600 (ram is 1866), with timings of 1T and CL9-9-9-24 at 1.66V (1.65 recommended). The ram is Gskill f3-15000cl9d-4gbrh. It did not seem to make any noticeable difference in the system and Prime95 ran for 4 hours with no problems. I will try memtest later and see what happens.
 
Ok, I also ran memtest again for 16 cycles on the standard test and no errors. Everything still checks out ok.
I still have no idea what is causing the random BSODs. Any ideas?
 
Prime95 blend test? or SmallFFTs?

If RAM passes memtest, and ur still getting random BSODs, you could try:
-disable powering off usb devices when idle
-updating your bios
-updating all your drivers to the latest available
-try another psu
 
Also, I have my bios updated to the most current version, and I have the latest drivers available.
I have a seasonic 600W psu which is supposed to be plenty for this setup. Is there a reason for trying another psu (kinda moot point since it is the only psu I have, but just wondering)?
Another thing, what do you mean by disable power off usb devices when idle? Is that a setting in windows?
Thanks for the continued help!

The reason? you're getting BSODs that are random/inconsistent, yet you've already tested your RAM and CPU. Have you tested your HDDs? It really sounds like a SW issue, though. /shrug

Under advanced power management there's a setting for powering off usb devices when the system is idle or something like that. I'm not at my win7 system, but just search and it should be easy to find.

If you have the latest drivers, try an older set of drivers and see if that helps instead.
