Windows 7: random BSOD. memory check says hardware problem detected.

20k+ mellowed you out but certainly won't help your optimism.

"lets wait for the next BSOD" (you gotta feel something like this)

too funny man! (won't even mention/jinx i've had no crashes since the file repair....fingers remain crossed)

20K doesnt help optimism but does help job security.

I would keep my fingers and toes crossed.

Good luck

i think you've done it Zigzag. has been days since i had a crash when i was having them almost daily before. i also noticed that Uniblue Reg Booster is no longer finding registry errors. i was running uniblue almost daily for a while and always finding errors that needed fixing. have not found a single registry error since we did the file scan/repair.

Asus wanted me to ship the pc in and be without it for 2-3 weeks. they also wanted to clear my 2t hard drives full of music and start over. i much prefer your method of using a 10 minute scan and repair LOL! brilliant!

my hat is off to you Zigzag. you're a real pro and i can't thank you enough!

appreciate you putting up with me

cheers

My pleasure Lev, and it was you that actually fixed it. I just pointed you in the right direction.

ok....might have spoken a bit to soon. woke up to find my system had crashed overnight (while idle). ran uniblue reg booster and found 3 reg errors....which it fixed. went back and ran SFC/SCANNOW but this time i got the message "found errors that could not be fixed". told me to look in the CBS log for the errors...which i did...and could make no sense of lol!.

seems like i could have multipal issues because the crashes are MUCH less frequent now. one crash in 5-6 days is by far a record.....much better then before when i'd crash almost daily.

any further advise to get over the hump would be greatly appreciated.

thank you

Re-run SFC two more times and let us know the results

just completed 2 runs and got the same message. "found corrupt files but could not repair some of them"

brw...got another BSOD earlier today. was using the web this time when it happened.

It is looking like it is time for a repair install. Do you have the dvd?

bummer....no, my windows 7 came pre-loaded. you think asus would provide one if i ask or do i need to break out my wallet?.

cheers

If you can boot into safe mode (F8) there should be an option to "repair my computer". I believe (but am not sure) but that functions like the dvd.

It is always good to have a backup, and an OS dvd.
