Windows Crashing, blue screen

link180 · 04-22-2008, 06:57 AM

Hey guys,

i have a home built pc, running windows vista home premium with intel QQ6600, Kingston hyperx 1000mhz ddr2, asus P5K WS.

In the past i have been experiencing constant crashes. I did the windows memory diagnostis tool test and found a problem. Two weeks later i get replaced ram from kingston. Now 2 weeks later when the computer is under load again i start to get the same problem out of no where after a smooth 2 week computer. And i run the windows mem test again and it states that 'hardware problems were detected'
i Run it the second time on the new ram and nothing
i run it the third time and a problem was found.

now, im guessing its not the ram as it was brand new. What about the mobo memory? Is there a way in which i can tell from the test weather its the mobo memory in which is failing?

I really dont want to buy anything unless im sure

:(

thank you very much guys

maybe the ram ports on your motherboard are damaged. perhaps try your processor, ram and hd on another motherboard

Try this memory test. http://www.memtest.org/#downiso
It uses a boot up disk.

Also, if you loaded the os and other goodies with bad ram, it could have messed up the install. If the memory test ok, try a repair install.

Looks like the RAM is faulty. Check that you're running your memory at the correct recommended voltages.

If you have more than one ram module, try testing them one at a time to find the faulty module.

Do you have anything overclocked?
