blue screen memory management, driver fail

The P55 chipset should not have any initial problems during a clean install of Windows. However I would still suggest beofre you start to run both Memtest86+ and the drive manufacture's diagnostic software (both Mentest snd most drive diag software provide the means to create a bootable CD which you can use to test your hardware before you even install Windowx is installed).

After you have installed Windows go to Gigabyte's support web site and download "ALL" the Windows 7 drivers. Install the chipset/motherboard driver first, the the remaining drivers.

Next Install the graphics card drivers and then run Prime95.

I will be building a P55A-UD3P with Corsair memory in a few weeks and the steps above are those I would use. It's abousolutely critical that you know the your menory is good and the drive has no bad sectors, which Windows 7 is incapable of detecting during the formatting of the hard drive and installation process.

Reinstalling Windows or even a Repair Installation might work and should be tried however this

is a new install on a fresh home build which points to hardware or software issues such as drivers,

BIOS, low level chipset drivers and others.

Why not reinstall Windows?

Hi,

Did you read the Faultwire link in my last message above? It pretty much shows the methods

to try to fix this issue.

HIDCLASS.SYS = Microsoft USB Driver - so something is driving that driver into fault. Check the

lowlevel chipset drivers and the BIOS with the motherboard maker. Try disabling the USB in the

BIOS and see if the system faults. A add-in USB card can be used to provide USB and they are

not expensive.

HIDClass Devices devices include  mouse, keyboard, and joystick devices attached to PS/2,

serial, and game ports so check those drivers in device manager. Right Click on them in Device

Manager - Driver tab - Update Driver (which might not do anything) - then Right Click on

UNINSTALL - then REBOOT so the driver stacks can be refreshed.

Check any with special device of those types (3rd party drivers) at their maker's sites for updates.

Since its a sporadic problem hardware definitely could be in play.

The system ONLY EVER crashes at startup, I have never had a bluescreen when it has succesfully loaded up. I only get blue screens about half the times i boot up. Could this be a driver issue. I have checked and i have nearly all of the latest versions, so what else uses memory at startup that could cause this intermittent problem. Earlier I had some problems with my graphics card, but they are fixed now, but could that have any bearing on the issue?
