Multiple BSODs on boot, Faulty RAM? I have recently built a new computer and it has been working fine for a couple days until one day while trying to boot up i got a bsod. upon further investigation i found that i could not boot into safe mode, or from my windows disk, they all resulted in a bsod. I have also been getting 3 different types of bsod "bad pool header" "Irql not less or equal" and "page fault in nonpaged area." all these seem to point to faulty RAM, but i just want a second opinion before i try and return it. | My System Specs |

Could you please upload all the helpful files using the above tutorial. May not reply until tomorrow morning due to different time zones RAM - Test with Memtest86+ MemTest86+ will help test the RAM modules and the DIMM slots on the motherboard; test each individual stick of RAM (run for 7 passes), if an error(s) are found then retest the same module in a different DIMM slot, if errors are found in every slot then you have a bad RAM module, however if no errors are found with the RAM module in a different motherboard slot, then you have a bad motherboard DIMM slot. | My System Specs | | Computer type Laptop System Manufacturer/Model Number HP Pavilion dm1 Notebook PC OS Windows 7 Home Premium x86 Service Pack 1 - Linux Mint Mate 14 x64 CPU AMD E-450 APU (64-Bit) @ 1.65GHz Dual-Core Motherboard HP 3387 36.0A (Socket FT1) Memory 4GB DDR3 @ 676MHz Graphics Card AMD Radeon HD 6320 Graphics Sound Card Beats Audio - IDT High Definition Audio CODEC Monitor(s) Displays LCD HP Monitor Screen Resolution 1366 x 768 @ 60Hz Keyboard Standard PS/2 Keyboard Mouse Synaptics TouchPad V 7.5/Logitech USB Wireless PSU Microsoft Composite Battery - ACPI Case HP Cooling HP Cool Sense Hard Drives 500GB - SATA Hitachi HTS547550A9E384 Internet Speed 24.0 Mbps Antivirus Microsoft Security Essentials Browser Opera Other Info NIC - Broadcom 4313GN 802.11b/g/n Wi-Fi Adapter

I dont see how those would help since it doesnt seem to be a virus (correct me if im wrong) and i cant boot into system recovery either, cant boot into anything i think. Also, is it possible for a DIMM slot to stop working after being fine for 2 days?

Status update: I was able to burn memtest to a disk, both disks failed in all slots, so Is it just my luck that both sticks happened to fail? Or is there something else I should be worrying about? | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Home built OS Windows 7 Home premium 64 bit CPU I5-3570k Motherboard Gigabyte GA-z77x-up4 TH Memory Corsair vengeance 8GB Graphics Card Evga Gtx 670 PSU Corsair HX-850W Case Corsair obsidian 650D Hard Drives adata 256GB ssd Internet Speed 100Mb |

Did you test each RAM stick individually? If so, you probably do have faulty RAM, how old is the system? | My System Specs | | Computer type Laptop System Manufacturer/Model Number HP Pavilion dm1 Notebook PC OS Windows 7 Home Premium x86 Service Pack 1 - Linux Mint Mate 14 x64 CPU AMD E-450 APU (64-Bit) @ 1.65GHz Dual-Core Motherboard HP 3387 36.0A (Socket FT1) Memory 4GB DDR3 @ 676MHz Graphics Card AMD Radeon HD 6320 Graphics Sound Card Beats Audio - IDT High Definition Audio CODEC Monitor(s) Displays LCD HP Monitor Screen Resolution 1366 x 768 @ 60Hz Keyboard Standard PS/2 Keyboard Mouse Synaptics TouchPad V 7.5/Logitech USB Wireless PSU Microsoft Composite Battery - ACPI Case HP Cooling HP Cool Sense Hard Drives 500GB - SATA Hitachi HTS547550A9E384 Internet Speed 24.0 Mbps Antivirus Microsoft Security Essentials Browser Opera Other Info NIC - Broadcom 4313GN 802.11b/g/n Wi-Fi Adapter
