So I've run a memtest for 3+hours now. No errors detected. I'm beginning to think it may be a drive issue with this particular board. Server 2012 R2 has all the drivers for this board built in, so there are no other newer versions of drivers for it. I did receive an ntoskrn.sys bsod shortly after I replied that I've had non..... Go figure lol. Also all the hard disks have tested healthy. I think my only other option at this point is to re-install the OS. Maybe go with Server 2012 R2 standard with the essentials role instead of straight up 2012 R2 essentials itself. Aside from that, the only hardware issue I can think of is one of two CPU's. I'll re-seat them and re-paste them just to see. Stranger things have happen right? lol. I do have the memory dumps from the last two BSOD's, but I'd hate to take up your guy's time to look into them if it's not a problem with your software/drivers.

Just to report back. I believe i have solved my BSOD's so far. Ever since I've disabled the pool performance settings such as Network IO Boost, Read Striping, & Real Time Duplication, I have not had a single BSOD related to covefs.sys or ntoskrn.sys. I don't currently have duplication enabled since I need more drives for it, so I thought having the Read Striping enabled was kinda silly. Also I was seeing some errors in the event log related to the network controller, so I thought maybe I should also disable the Network IO boost as well. Obviously I've changed too many variables to know for sure if this helped at all, but so far so good! The only BSOD I've had is ntfs.sys, so I'm running a check on some of my older drives at the moment.

Ok I've uploaded the mini dumps as well. One of them is dated the 3rd of July when I know the covefs.sys BSOD happend. I hope that sheds more light on this. I'm starting my memory check now and will report back when it's finished. Thanks again for looking into this.

Ok, memory dump is uploading! It's about 500Mb worth. I made a note in the description of my username for the forum. I also have the mini dumps from my server if you need those too. Let me know what else I can do to help.

Will do. I should be able to get them uploaded tonight. I've been checking on my server and its been up for over 2 days now with no bsod. But it's been pretty well idle in terms of disk activity.

I don't run any anti virus on my server, and I've run memtest on all the sticks. They all appear to be fine. I'll definetly upload the dumps when I get a chance. I'm currently up in the Adirondacks camping g lol. Most of the time the bsod is cause by ntoskrnl, but accompanied by covefs.sys. or so says WhoCrashed.

I don't mean to bump a slightly older thread, but I am having this exact same issue with my drive pool as well! It appears that whenever the disks are under heavy read/writes it will bsod and reboot my server. I've check to see whats causing this from the dumps and it says its either covefs.sys or ntoskrnl. I thought this was memory related at first, but i've gone through many different sets now with the same results. I'm running.... Windows Server 2012 R2 Essentials Dual Xeon E5530's 8GB DDR3 ram Mostly onboard sata for the pooled drives SSD for OS connected to a startech sata card 5 pooled drives total. And I know my PSU is up to the task. I'm on the latest StableBit DP which is the 2.1 final release. If you need anymore info from me let me know!
