Windows 7: BSOD - Most likely RAM issue

Dave76 · 14 Apr 2012

Good info, hope your system remains stable.

Let us know if you get any more crashes/freezes.
If it is stable for a week then post back to let us know and mark the thread as 'Solved'.

Had my computer on all day while I was torrenting something.
I came back, started up WoW, played for about 3-5 minutes and got a BSOD.
Here's the dump.

Also not sure if this has to do with Windows or the Blizzard launcher, but I get a security alert every time I open it after getting that BSOD.
Also posting screenshot.

Just got another random Hang.
I'll explain what happens when it hangs some of the time.
The time on Windows will reset and the icons in the taskbar take up the space, but won't be interactive.
I can hover over the blank areas as if they were there, but when clicked they don't respond.
These screenshots show after some hangs and normal. The time may be close, but these screenshots were taken within 2 minutes of each other.

Here's some minidumps from the last few days.

Can you upload the rest of the Blue Screen of Death (BSOD) Posting Instructions files?
These are need for analyses.

These crashes can be due to hardware, RAM, CPU or HDD problems.

Still need the BIOS CPU and RAM voltage settings.
Go to your BIOS and get/post the, DRAM frequency and VDDNB Over Voltage, if no voltage number is shown then change it to 'Manual' to get the reading.
Confirm your DRAM Voltage is 1.80v.

Need these BIOS voltages in order to continue, if you have any problems getting these then let me know.

Since my last post, I haven't been able to keep my computer on for more than 5 minutes with my 2GB of G.Skill.
I suspected the RAM and ran MemTest86+ and got errors immediately.
I then suspected my RAM slots, so I used the family computer on my current 2GB of G.Skill RAM with no errors.
Then I put the original Hynix RAM from this computer into the family computer with no errors either.
I'm beginning to think its never been the RAM that has been having issues, but the MB.
I took the RAM from the family computer and it seems to be working in my build right now, so if it still matters, I'll post everything in a minute.

What kind of setup do you have on the family computer?

EDIT: Full specs, please.
