Windows 7: Brand new pc _ bsod

Have you updated the drivers ?

You should leave it overnight, a thorough run would be 8-12 hours.

hi..

It bought up loads of errors - but was still running past 16 hours.. I guess that's enough evidence to pass on to the store though...

Ok, that's the evidence. You can run this memory test under Windows - as a prooftest if you want:

MemTest: RAM reliability tester for Windows

Thanks for your support on this.

I have to 'buy' the new ram - then they will refund me when I return the faulty ram. fingers crossed this will sort. I ran MemTest for windows and stopped it on 50% as it came up with 5 errors - which is enough for me..

thanks again, I'll report back in a few days when the new ram is installed and let you know if we can mark this as solved :-)

Sure thing, you are much welcome. : )

Hi.

New memory is installed. Mem test passed ok and the computer isn't crashing.

But, I have new problems. If you feel this should be moved to another section, please do do, or let me know the best way to post.

While I had the bad ram - I updated the drivers for intel hd audio and also for the intel graphics.

Now the pc will wake up after sleeping, but the monitor stays asleep and when I physically turn it on, it says, no signal.

I have to manually restart the computer. It tries to resume windows - but never makes it. If I choose to delete the resume and boot normally, it boots fine.

I decided to roll back the intel drivers, but that option is greyed out. I then tried to system restore - but I get a dialogue box telling me that the drive is corrupted and I can't restore. It recomends I check/repair the disk on startup.. i did. It took a long time and then booted as normal.

But nothing has changed, ie roll back greyed out, still not waking up monitor and still can't system restore.

Any ideas ?

thx

Hi

Looks like the new ram has reenabled system restore.
Have restored to a few days ago and the sleep problem has gone.

Hopefully that's that.

Thanks for advice.
