Recurring BSOD with different messages

[Elvirawynter]

Over the past month or so I have been having issues with BSOD

I was told by a friend to try running a mem test, which I passed.
I was then told to just a format and fresh install to see if that might help it, I proceeded to do this and it helped for a week or so then the problem came back.
I have since made sure all my drivers are up to date, bought a new motherboard (kept them at bay for 2 weeks roughly), bought new RAM at the beginning of the year and also a new graphics card.

I play online games quite a lot and was due a few upgrades anyways but none of these seemed to make a difference!
I'm completely fed up and honestly have no clue as to what I should do to sort it now, I've bought new RAM today to replace my two oldest to see if that may help, however I doubt it.

Please help!


P.s. I have also come to have screen freezes, and the occasional restart

BSOD messages include;
System service exception
Driver IRQL not less than equal
Memory management

No message is also common

I would post my minidump however despite changing the settings they still do not appear in the folder, im getting these crashes within 5-15 mins of each other today and its severely annoying

Welcome to the forum.

To get memory dumps: https://www.w7forums.com/enable-small-memory-dumps-t9095.html

What memory test program did you use? https://www.w7forums.com/memtest86-memory-testing-t9067.html

I would suggest an offline scan as well: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows/what-is-windows-defender-offline

Hope this helps.

I have tried the tutorial to enable small memory dumps but it still doesn't work. And the memtest was that exact one

 

[Elvirawynter]

I have ran the Offline Defender and found these as potential threats during the scanning. I have since removed them and waiting to see if it has made a difference.

HackTool:Win32/Keygen
HackTool:Win32/Wpakill.C
Adware:Win32/Hotbar

(i'll post image when the internal server error passes)

You might have gotten to the problem, those viruses. I would strongly suggest that you install Microsoft Anti-virus. http://windows.microsoft.com/en-GB/windows/products/security-essentials
It is free and does not cause problems as the others do. If you are using some other anti-virus, you will need to uninstall it first.

Are you sure that there is nothing in c:\windows\minidump

Let us know how you are going, please.

Despite removing these viruses it did not stop the Bluescreens, I have since removed 3/4 of my sticks of RAM and left one in and it is currently working perfectly since.

Called back ebuyer to say the ones I had were by the looks of it faulty and will be sending them back and getting a replacement

 

[Shintaro]

That's strange that Memtest didn't pick that up. Perhaps it was a timing problem?
Was the RAM on your motherboards supported list?

[Elvirawynter]

Yes the RAM is on the supported list for this one and my old one. It was working fine until 2 months ago roughly. Then i started getting the occasional bluescreen or the complete screen freeze and its since gotten worse and worse.

I'll see how the new RAM fares

 

[Shintaro]

Did you try each of the RAM stick in slot 1 of the motherboard to make sure it wasn't the motherboard at fault?

Also do you have the latest BIOS?
