Stop when the error appears.
Some people state that the error timing changes if you let the system rest - so try to run them all at once.
You still need the time for it to error in Blend,
then the time for it to error in Large FFT's and the time for it to error in Small FFT's
If Blend is quickest, then it's most likely your RAM that's the problem.
If either of the others are the quickest, then it's likely that your CPU is to blame.
If it's your CPU, then try the CPU stress tests from my hardware diags page. That's to confirm the problem so that you're not purchasing a new CPU without being sure of the errors.
Those two errors were on CPU #1 (don't know if this information is needed)
Blend - 61 tests in 2 hours, 7 minutes - 1 errors, 0 warnings
Large FFT's - 20 tests in 33 minutes - 1 errors, 0 warnings

PC is powered on since the first test. Now I'm going to do last one ( Small FFT's), then I update this thread, thanks :)
Small FFT's generally points to CPU cache and very little RAM
Large FFT's points to RAM (limited due to the in-place restriction) and to memory controller
Blend points to RAM and memory controller
If it's RAM, then Large FFT's should be slower to error than Blend
If it's CPU, then Large FFT's should be faster to error than Blend (which is what you have right now)
If it's CPU cache, then Small FFT's should be faster to error than Large FFT's or Blend
Memory controller in i3 CPU's is onboard the CPU - not on the motherboard
So, you've either got a memory controller issue on the CPU (Large FFT's make this most likely)
or, if Small FFT's are faster, it's more likely to be CPU cache.
Run several of the CPU stress tests from here to ensure we've properly identified a problem with the CPU: http://www.carrona.org/hwdiag.html#cpustress
It doesn't matter to us if it's the cache or the controller - there's no fixing a CPU. As long as it fails several of the stress tests you can be reasonably sure that it's the CPU that's at fault.
Update:
Small FFT's -> no errors!
So it means that it is a CPU problem right? I've got to take it to the store for change.
Thanks usasma!
NO NO NO!!! You MUST run several of the CPU stress tests to prove that it's the CPU.
Then it'll be time to get a new CPU.
So, the Intel test says that everything is OK.
Either try more CPU stress tests, or we can try Prime95 on the different sticks and slots
I'm going to take computer to the store, they offered me the diagnosis and hardware substitution if it is broken. Thanks for everything usasma!
Hey, it's me again. Some weeks ago i've take it to the store and they have tested everything and there were no errors. I brought it to home again and the bluescreens persist until now. I'm kind of stressing out with this lool, if you can find the problem i'll be pleasured.
