BSOD 0x0000000A, new PC Build, possibly memory?
Attachment 279738
Hi i'm sorry if this has been posted many times, I am new to these forums and couldn't find this anywhere.
Just a bit of background, I am about to do my masters in Mechanical Engineering, and so required a pc upgrade to run some large programs efficiently (ANSYS, Solidworks, Matlab etc).
I decided that it would be best to build a pc, as I could then tailor it for what I need.
This is the first time I have attempted a pc build. But it seems to me so far, possibly naively so, pretty simple.
I have bought all the components as shown on my profile, but I receive intermittent BSOD's (when I run a couple of programs at once sometimes - nothing too heavy, itunes, chrome etc). They always read 0x0000000A; I did take a photo which I have attached, sorry for the poor quality.
I have read up a little online about this matter but nothing definitive, is it possible it could be down to the RAM being faulty?
When I installed the RAM I installed it in slot 1&3 (slots next to each other) and not 1&2, or 3&4 as suggested. The reason for this is that when i install them into the 'correct' slots the pc will not boot at all and cuts it's own power before restarting and going through this process againf?
Sorry if this seems a very basic question but i'm wondering if anyone has any advice/tips before I contact Novatech directly.
Many Thanks,
Nathan
