The only way you can fix this problem is by testing with other parts.

So you either need to test yourself, or find a computer repair shop and get them to test your gear individually.

Some last things you can try.

Are you running any add-in cards? Sound, Network, RAID etc?....if so, remove them and try using the system without for a while.

I would boot with 2gb (is that stable?) and make a new partition in the harddrive, big enough for a windows Vista install.
Then install again in that and as you said, keep it clean, install drivers one at a time, then install apps one at a time, so to make sure it's not something driver or software related, and then try 4gb in that configuration, to see if it is that.

Did you ever increase your Northbridge voltage...? That's pretty crucial when running 4 sticks of RAM......

Kelainefes · #34 22-07-2008, 18:47

Yes that could be it, 1.265 is a little weak for 4GB maybe try 1.31?

Okay will increase that voltage but i started getting bsods with 3gb of RAM and even 2GB now!!

and all the bsods are really random, like page fault in non paged area, bad pool header and a few others :S

i dont know what is going on!

tested one stick 4 times and that single stick came back with loads of errors and the 5th time it came back with no errors at all!!!! - i labelled all my ram now from 1 to 4 and currently using 1GB to rule this one out/find culpret.

Take the battery out and leave it for a couple of hours...have you done that yet?

comeradealexi · #37 23-07-2008, 08:50

ah no still need to do that - there is one stick of RAM that wouldnt let me boot and gave me over 3000 errors too so will do more tests with that too

Well, looks like dieing memory in the end.
I know it is strange that it gives loads errors and then you test again and it does not, but it can happen.

comeradealexi · #39 23-07-2008, 15:06

still testing one stick at a time now - Gunna send back the one that gave 3000 errors and then hope the rest dont give me trouble

Good grief
