Memory Crashes
Hey guys,
I'm having some rather obnoxious computer problems as of late. I keep getting these Blue Screen errors that say something to the effect of IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL or Memory Failure, and it says it's creating a dump file.
A little bit of background about myself might be useful as well. I play TONS of video games on my computer and have a fairly large collection of music files and photos, with a small collection of E-Books in Audio and PDF format. My hard-drive isn't over 50% full yet, so I figured I was safe as far as actual room goes. Most games I play are on Steam, but I also play Nexon, Hi-Rez, Riot, and Blizzard games. I've got a guilty habit though of having around 5 tabs open in Google Chrome however while I'm playing games.
Thanks again for the help by the way. If anyone is able to fix the issue with the crashes, it'd be most appreciated. If they managed to also fix the flicker issue, they'd totally be my hero.
My specs are:
Model: SYX-760GM-E51
Manufacturer: Systemax
Processor: AMD Athelon(tm) II X4 630 Processor 2.80GHz
Installed RAM: 4.0GB (Might be DDR3, but pretty sure it's DDR2)
OS: Windows 7 Home Premium (64 bit)
If you need more on this, I can dig out the full spec sheet with all parts listed. Below I'll post any and all of the recent issues and what has been done to fix it as well. Hoping what's wrong isn't my doing. >.>
Also, I didn't catch in the instructions for this kind of post if you needed me to attatch the files from the Mini-Dump folder or not, so I didn't. If you need me to however, I'll be more than happy to do so.
Recent Issues:
My screen will occasionally turn black for a second or two but resume functioning as normal (like a flicker, but not constantly like a flicker), I have never found a fix for this. Anyone whom I've asked has said it's a resolution thing, but I have the recommended settings in place. Using a HDTV from Sanyo as my monitor connected to the video card via a HDMI Cable (not the RGB cables).
I've let a friend use my computer while he was over, and he downloaded something or another that winded up being a virus. Cleaned it out with Trend Micro Titanium Internet Security. Also uninstalled some game that was largely porn based that he downloaded. -_-
I changed the power supply one day after I woke up and found that I could no longer turn on my computer. It would get juice but not power on, so I ended up taking it to the local "Geek Squad" at Best Buy, and they changed it for me.
