BSOD when using steam/valve games

Let us know how the memory tests go. It could be graphics card memory as well, but we will test that after we find out how the RAM goes.

See RAM - Test with Memtest86+ Part 3 to determine which module is bad. If memtest86+ found just one error, that is one too many.

jeez i dont even know now, i ran it all night for about 5 hours now, and even switched the ram around my Motherboard slots and it never came up any error

i even opened over a few hundred pages just now and maxed out my ram usage as much as i could, but i havent crashed yet. i was really hoping this would be a problem with ram, but ive used my computer for an hour now and still no crash

Is it possible the RAM was not seated properly in the slot? That has been known to cause blue screen crashes and Memtest86+ errors.

it is possible, recently i replaced my cpu heatsink, but i didnt have any issues for like two weeks after. so maybe when i changed the heatsink i knocked the ram out of place just a bit

also i did notice that two times i went to sit in my chair and knocked my desk it froze on me, so maybe it knocked the RAM out a little bit. it would explain why it got worst and worst as well, if it was slipping out a little more each time.

i havent crashed yet, and i even ran my computer for 25 passes just now. for now it seems to be working fine, i hope it doesnt crash. ill check for about two days and use it as i normally would and hope nothing happens

Sounds good. Best wishes!

well it seems to have fixed itself. i crashed again, but when i adjusted the ram sticks it went back to normal. thanks for your help. ill have to find some way of keeping the sticks in place since they vibrate from my heatsink.

thanks for all ur help writhziden

I am surprised they would become loose just from your heat sink. We may want to look further into this if you continue to have problems.

yea its those clips on the bottom they become unhinged slightly if i move the computer around.

the thing is my fan is almost touching the ram sticks so if it throttles up, it starts to vibrate enough to touch the first stick. on top of that i have a 5.1 sound system, so when i turn it up it tends to shake my computer.

i blame asus for making a shotty motherboard =/
