1207729 2011-06-11 16:47:00 Tried to OC again and I got BSoD's. I think my mobo can't run my RAM at 1600Mhz, it doesn't say that it can on the box but it does say that says that it can run "DDR3-1600(O.C)" on the MSI website.

Perhaps the minidumps will shed some more light upon this issue and help determine once and for all what component is causing these irritating errors: www.mediafire.com

1207730 2011-06-11 21:23:00 Zonealarm, is crashing / vsdatant.sys (uninstall it). The ATI drivers are crashing. tcpip.sys is crashing. And i8042prt.sys is crashing (stop error: 0x0000003d). I would also uninstall Avast. for now.

One site the ATI drivers crashing was fixed by getting a bigger PSU www.techsupportforum.com

1207731 2011-06-11 21:40:00 I only get a blue screen when I try and OC my CPU or my RAM. My 5670 has been successfully overclocked for a little while now and I haven't gotten any errors. For those reasons I doubt that either ZoneAlarm, the ATI drivers, or Avast are responsible for these crashes. Perhaps Windows is mistaken? I don't think it would be the first time... It would seem to me that logically the issue would have to be directly linked to either my RAM, my CPU, or my MOBO. I'll leave the setup as it is for awhile longer (2 days) to make sure I don't experience any problems with the system as it is. Then I'll just raise the FSB/DRAM to 1:4 and see if I get a problem, if I do then it's probably the RAM to blame (possibly due to an incompatibility with the MOBO as previously mentioned).

1207732 2011-06-11 21:42:00 Do you want to fix the crashing or not?

The dmp file says ZA and the ATI drivers are the cause.

oc needs more power = less power for gpu = ati driver crash (see speedys link)
oc gfx card = more power need = not enough watts in the psu = driver crash
Just my thoughts.

1207734 2011-06-12 01:03:00 /Not gonna update BIOS because i've never done it and i don't want to mess up the system any further. Extreme power supply calculator suggest 289 watts or more, vbutils suggests 396.5 watts or more.

Forget watts.

Current is more important, because most cheap PSUs will claim a 1000 watts and can only deliver 100.

Updating BIOS is very easy.

1207735 2011-06-12 04:12:00 So is it a driver problem or a lack of power?

Failing to update the BIOS properly could result in a bricked system. Not gonna risk it. I can find a way to screw up practically anything. (“A common mistake that people make when trying to design something completely foolproof is to underestimate the ingenuity of complete fools.”)

1207736 2011-06-12 04:19:00 2 drivers are crashing it like I said, the file belonging to ZA and the file belonging to the ATI drivers. The ZA file causing the crash, MAY be causing the tcpip.sys crash.

A lack of power may also cause it. Like the link I posted

Not too sure what would cause the i8042prt.sys crash. This is for keyboard and the mouse by the looks of it

1207737 2011-06-12 09:19:00 So is it a driver problem or a lack of power?

I'd say lack of power causing driver failure for the ati driver. No idea about the za bit.
