Re: Stop Error 0x00000101 with Core i3-2105

Well, I don't know much about voltage settings (especially for integrated video) but the BIOS seems to have only relevant 2 settings: "IGPU Voltage" with options Auto, -100mV, -50 mV, +0 mV, +50 mV, and +100 mV; and the other setting is "IGPU VDROOP" with options With and Without.

Most of the people reporting this problem seem to be using i5-2500k's, but since I'm using an i3-2105 I tried setting the Vcore to 1.1V. It's been stable except for one unexplained Stop Error 0x1E.

Thanks for the info. It's hard to see the CPU being stable at 0.25V tho'... I'm not certain, but I believe the crashes happen around 0.80 to 0.85V. I'll fiddle with it some more and see how it goes.

Well, it seems this problem is more common than I thought. I haven't finished digging thru all the threads, but it appears that the motherboard sets the CPU's voltage too low by default. When the Vcore setting is left at "Auto" and the power-saving features kick in, Vcore can drop below 0.9 volts. My (wild) guess is that when the voltage gets that low, the GPU gets starved for power and that's why it stops responding. The suggested fix is to manually set the Vcore at 1.190 volts. It's working so far, but I'm not sure it's the best option. Is there a list of the voltage tolerances for the 2105? I'm having trouble finding one, and it's not in the manual.

Well, I wrote to Asrock's tech support, giving them the same info I posted here, and I got an answer a couple days later telling me how to test the RAM. So I wrote back and told them the CPU was causing the crashes, not the RAM, and they sent me another email telling me... how to test the RAM. /facepalm

Anyway, the board and CPU are new so there's no significant amount of dust on them. Idle temp is around 40C, and when I had the crashes it usually wasn't under load anyway - just web browsing and stuff. I found a big thread over on TweakTown about this issue. I'll check back in once I've slogged thru it.

Stop Error 0x00000101 with Core i3-2105

I'm getting repeated system crashes and freezes. The crash is Stop Error 0x00000101 and does not list any drivers. I haven't found a pattern - sometimes the system will go a few days without crashing, but other times it'll crash/freeze every couple of hours. Things I have tried so far:

Upgrading the BIOS (twice)
Swapping RAM
Switching the RAM between JEDEC and XMP settings
Turning off some CPU power-saving features
Installing a fresh second copy of Windows
Changing the power supply

Nothing has worked so far. I've only managed to get it stable by installing a discrete video card, but that's a workaround, not a solution. I'm sure the fault lies with either the CPU or motherboard. I'm leaning toward the CPU at this point. Do I need to RMA it, or is there a way to get the system stable as-is?

I'm having a similar problem... an i3 2105 that bluescreens or hardlocks every day or two, but all I'm doing is web browsing. No video capture of any sort (but no squealing noise either.) So far I'm thinking the CPU is the problem. I should make a separate post for it tho'.
