First, will need the system information, is it OEM like Dell, HP, Acer etc, or a custom build?
Any other info will help.
Ok Its a ADVENT Centurion CBE 1401 Somthing or other. and its classed a gaming computer. Its not a custom build no.
Also i have a question. here is a screenshot of a process that is beginning to piss me off. it slows my computer down like crazy, it's called 'trustedinstaller.exe' its using like 50% of my CPU and its stopping me from playing any games at all because its making the CPU bottleneck. This is only happening recently.
yes thats my pc. That warranty for hardware only?
Having trouble finding any information on it, so can't tell you much about it.
You will have to ask Advent or where you bought it about the warranty.
I'll try and find where the voltage info is at in your BIOS.
Do you have a motherboard manual?
Look in the BIOS section it should tell you where to find the RAM voltage and CPU NB voltage.
I'll post here if I find anything.
That is good news, those RAM errors will need to be looked at or you will have more problems.
You can D/L your motherboard manual here: Foxconn A7VMX-K
Scroll down to where is says 'Motherboard Manual'
In chapter 3, page 27, Fox Central Control Unit - Voltage Options.
In Your BIOS you will see:
CPU Voltage
Memory Voltage
NB Voltage
HT/SB Voltage
Post the voltage for the 'Memory Voltage' and 'NB Voltage'
The default NB voltage is 1.10v, you need to increase this to 1.20v.
Go to your BIOS.
When the system is booting up you will see a screen with "Press <DEL> to enter Setup", press DEL (the Delete key) repeatedly until it goes to the BIOS page, same that's in the manual.
Select 'Fox Central Control Unit'
Select 'Voltage Options'
Select 'NB Voltage Controls'
Select the +100mV
This will give you 1.20V for the NB (North Bridge) memory controller, this will help the RAM run stable.
Run Memtest86+ again, for 7 passes or overnight. If you get any errors, red lines across the screen, you can stop the test and post the results here.

Hey i changed the voltage as you asked.
i then run the test and within 2seconds all the read line were shown and about 4 tests through there was about 4000 errors lol... damm.
This is not unusual, we may have to bump the voltage a couple of times.
From +28,000 errors to 4,000 errors, we are making progress.
Go to BIOS again:
Select 'NB Voltage Controls'
Select the +200mV
This will give you 1.30V for the NB.
Then go to 'Memory Voltage Control'
Select the +50mV
This will give you 1.85V for the RAM.
Run Memtest86+ again, for 7 passes or overnight. If you get any errors, red lines across the screen, you can stop the test and post the results here.
