    Constant BSOD, regardless of programs running


    Hi. As the subject says, I am getting BSOD constantly (as in every time i power on my pc, and usually within 10-15 minutes), with various messages every time (ie system_service_exception, cache_memory, apc_index_mismatch, and any number of 0x00024, 0034, etc etc). at this point im fairly convinced its a bad motherboard. any help would be greatly appreciated, hopefully i attached the zip file properly. Also, im running windows 7 home premium 64bit

    Thanks in advance

    Welcome to SevenForums.

    Start with testing your hard drives:

    Upload a screenshot of your hard disk using crystal disk info:

    Run Disk Check on your hard disk for file system errors and bad sectors on it:

    They look okay.

    Anyway, lets keep the hard drive test aside for now.

    Proceed with RAM test. How many sticks of RAM do you have?

    Take memtest. Run for 8 passes and test each stick in a know good slot for an additional 6 passes.



    The goal is to test all the RAM sticks and all the motherboard slots.

    Check your motherboard manual to ensure the RAM sticks are in the recommended motherboard slots. Some motherboards have very specific slots required for the number of RAM sticks installed.

    If you get errors, stop the test and continue with the next step.

    1. Remove all but one stick of RAM from your computer (this will be RAM stick #1), and run Memtest86 again, for 7 passes.
    Be sure to note the RAM stick, use a piece of tape with a number, and note the motherboard slot.
    If this stick passes the test then go to step #3.

    2. If RAM stick #1 has errors, repeat the test with RAM stick #2 in the same motherboard slot.
    If RAM stick #2 passes, this indicates that RAM stick #1 may be bad. If you want to be absolutely sure, re-test RAM stick #1 in another known good slot.
    If RAM stick #2 has errors, this indicates another possible bad RAM stick, a possible motherboard slot failure or inadequate settings.
    3. Test the next stick of RAM (stick #2) in the next motherboard slot.
    If this RAM stick has errors repeat step #2 using a known good stick if possible, or another stick.
    If this RAM stick has no errors and both sticks failed in slot#1, test RAM stick #1 in this slot.
    4. If you find a stick that passes the test, test it in all the other motherboard slots.

    If Part 2 testing shows errors, and all tests in Part 3 show errors, you will need to test the RAM sticks in another computer and/or test other RAM in your computer to identify the problem.

    In this way, you can identify whether it is a bad stick of RAM, a bad motherboard, or incompatibility between the sticks.

    OK. If you do not want to do it with memtest (Although it would be good). Start this way:

    Remove all sticks except one. Keep that one for a while and see how the computer performs,.. observer for any freezes or BSOD-s or any sort of crashes. (Test it in different slots & use the computer the way you do regularly)

    Do the same test with the rest of the sticks look for which one causes freezes or BSOD-s..

    If you have time..take memtest.
