Hello everyone I hope that someone here can help with random freezing and BSODs Im having with my new build. Im not willing to let go of Win7 yet so I paired a new I7 6700k with the z270 Fatal1ty Gaming K6 and Corsair Vengeance 2400 XMP ddr4.

I haven't even had time to play any games on it yet and all I have done is a simple 4.6 overclock at 1.325v. I'm using balanced power setting in OS so cpu sits around 0.8Ghz at 0.764v so temps around 28 degrees so the system hasn't been pushed yet.

My problems are that during power up the function keys on mechanical keyboard don't register so cant enter uefi unless I use an old keyboard and more importantly when browsing or just doing simple things the system randomly becomes sluggish, keyboard and mouse stop working then the system locks up or just BSOD. My build is a day old and already its crashed about 8 times.

Is anyone else here having similar issues on a similar build or do you think its needing a bios update cos I'm out of ideas.

Thanks in advance.

Hey there. Ohhhhoho we need some more info.

BIOS rev the MB is flashed to?

Corsair Kit part number? Kit #, not what's on the sticks.

PSU Make, Model, and more importantly how old it is?




Aw heck, List out what makes up your computer, with specifics please

Try disabling LLC and post back. 

Also, specs would be helpful as Wardog mentioned.

Forgot that the cpu is a new i7 6700k and I'm aware of the Skylake bug so I dont know if Asrock have or will be addressing the bug with a bios update.

BlueScreenView reports the 2 BSOD;

1) MACHINE_CHECK_EXCEPTION  0x0000009c  hal.dll  hal.dll+12818  Hardware Abstraction Layer DDL  ntoskrnl.exe+70400


2) 0x00000124  hal.dll  hal.dll+12a3b  Hardware Abstraction Layer DLL  ntoskrnl.exe+70400

Skylake bug?

The i7-6700K is not the latest Intel i7 processor, that would be the i7-7700K.

When using Windows 7 on a Skylake or Kaby Lake chipset board (Z270 like yours), you must include a USB 3.0 driver in the Win 7 installation package, or none of the USB ports will work. No idea if you did that or not. I'm not finding a link to that information on your board's page, you can read about it here:

http://www.asrock.com/microsite/Win7Install/index.html

The newest Intel chipsets will only use a USB 3.0 driver for ALL of the USB ports, including USB 2.0. Windows 7 does not have a built in USB 3.0 driver. It seems you did not modify your Win 7 installation media for this situation, since your "old" keyboard works.

If that is the Skylake bug you are referring to, that cannot be fixed with a BIOS update.

Is your SSD connected to an Intel SATA port, or ASMedia SATA port? The Intel SATA ports will provide better, more stable performance.

I know its not a Kabylake cpu I meant the cpu is new. I went with Skylake because the board says it fully supports 6th Gen i7 and I refuse to use win10.

The Skylake bug was addressed for the z170 platform by Intel and mobo manufacturers via bios update with new microcode so I dont see why it wont be the same for z270 I just dont know when it will happen cos bios rev P1.10 has its own problems. I know the board has just been released and will get better with updates.

My ssd is plugged into SATA3_0 port.

Concerning the hal.dll.errors you're getting.

Return the CPU and memory back to stock and reply back that they have ceased appearing Wink


But first. Seeings you water cool(H80i) I'd like for you to put an aux fan that blows over the motherboard mounted components surrounding the CPU socket. With more flow directed onto the VRMs to the left and above the socket itself.


After both, please reply back.

Well I have the 2 Corsair SP120 fans mounted in the top of case drawing air down on to the entire top of the motherboard so the airflow is fine and the cpu idles in mid 20s.

I have returned bios oc and RAM settings back to defaults now. I just dont understand why the system has froze or BSOD when I havent done anything more than been on Firefox and youtube.

I take it nobody else here is using Skylake on the z270 platform?

I do, in fact. An i7-6700K/Z270 Gaming K6. Yet I'll back out of the thread. My apologizes.
