I have frequent crashes.


Memory corruption probably caused by a driver. please run these two tests




1-Memtest.

*Download a copy of Memtest86 and burn the ISO to a CD using Iso Recorder or another ISO burning program.

*Boot from the CD, and leave it running for at least 5 or 6 passes.

Just remember, any time Memtest reports errors, it can be either bad RAM or a bad motherboard slot.

Test the sticks individually, and if you find a good one, test it in all slots.

2-Driver verifier

I'd suggest that you first backup your data and then make sure you've got access to another computer so you can contact us if problems arise. Then make a System Restore point (so you can restore the system using the Vista/Win7 Startup Repair feature).

In Windows 7 you can make a Startup Repair disk by going to Start....All Programs...Maintenance...Create a System Repair Disc - with Windows Vista you'll have to use your installation disk or the "Repair your computer" option at the top of the Safe Mode menu .

Then, here's the procedure:
- Go to Start and type in "verifier" (without the quotes) and press Enter
- Select "Create custom settings (for code developers)" and click "Next"
- Select "Select individual settings from a full list" and click "Next"
- Select everything EXCEPT FOR "Low Resource Simulation" and click "Next"
- Select "Select driver names from a list" and click "Next"
Then select all drivers NOT provided by Microsoft and click "Next"
- Select "Finish" on the next page.

Reboot the system and wait for it to crash to the Blue Screen. Continue to use your system normally, and if you know what causes the crash, do that repeatedly. The objective here is to get the system to crash because Driver Verifier is stressing the drivers out. If it doesn't crash for you, then let it run for at least 36 hours of continuous operation (an estimate on my part).

If you can't get into Windows because it crashes too soon, try it in Safe Mode.
If you can't get into Safe Mode, try using System Restore from your installation DVD to set the system back to the previous restore point that you created.

Driver Verifier

I've already used Driver Verifier.
DO you want me to attach the minidump?

Sure. That would be helpful.

Can you supply us with another minidump from this latest BSOD? I would suspect it's your RAM being the hardware issue.

You may want to try re-seating your RAM in your RAM slots and do another reboot in a Clean Boot state to see if it runs smoothly too, after re-seating your RAM.

How did the Memtest go when you ran it?

With the Memtest result, was that a single stick, etc.? As per zizags post. You have a Ram problem, you need to find if its an individual stick of Ram or a MoBo slot.

Run Memtest86+ overnight, after your computer has been off for about an hour or two so it has a cold start. Ideally let it run for at least 7 passes / 6-8 hours. If errors appear before that you can stop that particular test.
Note!! Any time Memtest86+ reports errors, it can be either bad RAM or a bad Mobo slot. Test RAM sticks individually. When you find a good one then test it in all slots.

I've been asked if you can post some Memory timing settings.


Download and run CPU-Z. Take screenshots/snips of the Memory tab and all the slot#'s under the SPD tab.

Go to Post Reply, click on Go Advanced button and attach the screenshots to your post for all the RAM experts to see by using the paper clip you will find on the top toolbar. Do not zip them up.
