BleepingComputer.com: BSOD On Boot

dcmike, on 12 January 2012 - 05:28 PM, said:

Hey guys, I've been having the same problem with my computer crashing to blue screen and CTD some of my other applications, and was wondering if you could help. I've downloaded the BlueScreenView and have the files in a text document, but as for the other steps you have suggested, my computer doesn't have a cd burner.

The problems seem to have started occuring since my friend gave me his 'old' RAM to use. AVG and Malwarebytes haven't detected anything.

Mod Edit: Moved from XP to Internal Hardware.

Too much variety among the errors to point in one direction, IMO...everything from video drivers to kernel errors.

If the problem started with a hardware change...I would undo that change and run Memtest86+ on the RAM you installed.

Memtest86+ - Advanced Memory Diagnostic Tool - http://www.memtest.org/#downiso

Memtest86+ Guide-How To's - Overclockers Forums - http://www.overclockers.com/forums/showthread.php?t=409152

Louis

After running Memtest86+ it appears that the errors seemed to occur in both slots with both sticks in all various combinations, but only appear to be in tests 5 and 8. I'm running an Athlon x2 2.8, so I'm presuming from the information on the guide site that I need to upgrade my RAM?

You ran each module separately?

If all combinations produce errors...I'd have to question whether I am using matched pairs of the same clock speed. I had a situation like that a few years ago when I had installed some RAM from a defunct system...only to discover that it created chaos with my other modules. I downclocked the motherboaard/system clock speed to overcome that and use all mods.

Louis

I initially tried with both, that seemed to come up witht the largest amount of errors. Both are the same speed and make. How do I downclock my system, and should I then try memtest again?

If you read the Memtest guide I linked to...you will see that just running the modules in tandem...isn't the correct way to go about trying to troubleshoot a suspected RAM problem.

Louis

I originally tested them together, but then did them one at a time in each slot so every possible combination was covered - all times errors were found in both tests 5 and 8.

From http://www.memtest.org/download/1.55/memtest86+-1.55/FAQ :

Interpreting memtest results is as scientific an endeavour as testing whether a person is a witch by the methods used in Monty Python's Holy
Grail. In short, don't even start, it's not going to get you anywhere. Just interpret any error as you should any other and use the methods descibed in the previous question to determine the cause.

"I'm getting errors in test #5 and/or #8 and have read a lot about it."

Yes, there are just about enough discussions on the topic to fill a book, but it all boils down to the answer given above. The only thing that can be said is that many a times, when memory latencies are incorrectly set in the BIOS you will experience errors in test #5 and #8. (Though #8 does not exist anymore as of version 1.40 and might be reinstated as a different test in a later version.) This does however NOT mean that errors in these tests are always the cause of incorrect settings, your memory might just as well be defective.

I really can't tell you any more than that...perhaps others here can.

Louis

I would do as hamluis suggested. Check your BIOS for the memory to be set at the correct settings, also give us all of the information on the memory you are running. If you find any incorrect BIOS settings fix them and rerun the Memtest.

After that I would run Who Crashed and scroll all the way to the bottom after the scan has completed, post all of that. Usually it will look threw all the logs and tell you whats wrong, most of the time it will say if it points to hardware or software and tell you which software, though the memtest failing could be the entire issue as well.

How do I check my BIOS, I've never had to do it before, or RAM information? And how do I identify whether or not I have incorrect BIOS settings? Apologies for sounding stupid.
