Okay that's good to know, you need to let run for least 9-10 passes, since each pass performs a different test, and errors are known to occur after 8 passes.

ok
yes after 5 passes last night there were none
so I guess it is best for me to run it when I can monitor it
once again thanks so much for your help in this matter
Your welcome, and the last two bugchecks were both the same (0x3B) so least we may got it pinned to one form of BSOD.
ok
is this good or bad? lol
It's good, it's easier to decide what steps to take.
it just shut down again
loud buzz in my speakers,black screen and shut down
guess I had better go ahead and run that MemTest86+ now
once AGAIN it seemed to crash/shut down before the test made the passes
When I got up about 1 A.M. it had been running 4:45 hours and some odd minutes on the 5th pass (i think!) with this error message
i wrote it down half asleep so i HOPE it is right

nothing there
well i followed some advise from a sound thread (maybe it was my own) and now i have no sound at all
and with no music there is no reason even to be on here
so i am in the process of wiping a external hard drive and gonna back up all my files and music (just in case) and do a fresh clean install and re-format of the system
this has been/is super frustrating
thank you
It seems you might have faulty RAM, from the information you have provided, have you tried leaving one RAM stick in and then testing?
not yet with all my sound problems
guess i will do that ASAP as soon as the drive wipe is complete
Okay, if the RAM passes in one slot, then move it to the next slot, and then test it again. It's a long process, but it will help you identify which RAM stick is causing problem, or if the motherboard DIMM slots are the problem.
