New power supply should help.

Did enabling those options make the problems in event viewer go away? (about the performance mode)

I'd still think it would be a good idea to post a BIOS template so we can look at what your voltages are set at in the BIOS.  Include the model number for your RAM as well.  It could be you just need a slight voltage boost in one or more areas.

Yes, they went away.

I'd recommend you increase the DIMM Voltage to 1.65 volts, as best I can tell that's what Corsair has it spec'd for.

Antec wants me to flash my CMOS before they would consider a replacement.  Would that have a chance of solving the problem?  My research of the 7F BSOD points to hardware problems.  I'm loath to flash my CMOS because I would loose all my settings including my RAID 1 array.  I don't want to take a chance of trashing it.  The Antec tech support guy, who was quite helpful, suggested it might be a RAID controller problem as it almost always corrects one error with each reboot.  The OS is on a SSD C: drive so I'm skeptical that a RAID D: drive would be the cause.

One other piece of information I forgot to memtion is that with each bug check in the Event Viewer there is a Critical event from Kernel-Power. The event ID is 41.  The description is: The system has rebooted without cleanly shutting down first. This error could be caused if the system stopped responding, crashed, or lost power unexpectedly.

The system is also on an APC battery backup and surge protector.  Although I haven't noticed it doing it lately, the APC switches to battery on a regular basis due to electrical noise.  I've had to put my stereo on a power conditioner after I lost two components to power problems in spite of being on a surge protector.  There's a main transformer sub-station just a few hundred yards from my house.  Maybe I'm too close.  The reason I bring it up is that the outages always take place in the day time.

Hey there, I am having the same exact problem! In event viewer I get the message Performance Power Management features on Processor 1 in group 0 are disabled due to a firmware problem. I have been getting this since a half hour after I installed windows on this brand new cpu I built 2 days ago. When I try to play this game it was freezing right away. I updated chipset drivers, updated bios, and enabled speedstep and that seemed to help as now I can move around for 30 seconds but then parts of the screen start to flash and then I freeze and it goes to a black screen. I can cntl alt delete out of it then go back to it and it can unfreeze for a few secs then go back to freezing. I ran a video stress test in another video game(cs source) and it was almost totally frozen and eventually gave me a blue screen and restarted my cpu. I also ran the test program Furmark and it froze right away.

I got rid of the those errors by following the instruction in message 25 of this thread.
Good luck,

My problem was with my video card not having the right bios. I used evga precision and lowered the speeds of the clocks they were over what the card is supposed to come with.

New power supply should help.



I put in a new power supply last night and got the same crash this morning.  Strangely, it seem to happen between 8 and 9 every morning.  I occasionally get them in the afternoon, but never at night.

I tried bypassing my APC battery backup, but that didn't help.  I tried turning off my off-site backup which performs a lot of activity on my RAID drive.  That didn't help either.

I almost always end up with a verification error when the Intel Mater Storage Manager runs after restart.  Always just one error when there is a problem.  I've moved my user ID to the D drive when I installed Windows and if I log back in too quickly, it says it's setting it my environment presumably because it can't find it.  If I log off and back on, it finds it.  It also finds it if I wait a minute or two after restart.  I'm guessing the verification error is with the user ID data.

About the only remaining likely candidates are the mother board or the disk drives.

The problem started again. The only thing I noticed: When i played an mp4 video using VLC, the computer crashed but the song was playing till the end. Then, the computer restarted (this never happened before). Can this be a problem of Video Card (EVGA GTX 285 1GB - Forceware 195.62 driver) ?

Thanks,
Kasya

i think this is 90% graphics card driver problem because when it happened when i first installed 195.xx beta. Going to downgrade the driver to see what happens.

I lowered the RAM Voltage to 1.45 to make the current voltage 1.5 instead of 1.55 . No crash for 2 days. Waiting...

I sent back my bfg tech card because mine came with the wrong bios and it came too overclocked making it crash when using 3d settings...i got an evga gtx 285 1gb classified now :)

I guess I feel better because I'm not the only one with this problem.  In my case, I get a BSOD 7F after the 8 cpus are disabled.  This also happened to me 3 time within two hours.  The computer was essentially idle with only web page refreshes and a low cpu usage back up running.  It ran fine for about two months previously and a day since.  It didn't happen the many times I ran a game that ran a CPU temp up (FSX).   All I've done is run a memory stress test so far.


I finally fixed the problem.  I had both ethernet ports on the problem PC connected to the same switch without any customized setup.  Removed one connection, all is well.

Intel Speed step was disabled.  I made the settings described.  Let's see if I get off that easy.

Curt


It crashed again this morning.  I run the system 24x7.  Strangely, it never crashes at night even though an off-site back up is running as well as a virus scan.  In the day time it generally crashes when I'm not using it.  I'm going to call Antec about the power supply on Monday.

I was having intermittent shutdowns myself. Antec CP-850. Sent out to RMA will have a replacement this Monday. Looks like this seems to be a rising issue.

edit: Ahh I see issue was solved. My PSU was making clicking sounds so I'm hoping that's all it is.
