Various BSODs - not too frequent - Error on Memtest
Hey folks. New to these forums, though I've found them quite useful by searching for topics relevant to the error messages I've been receiving. It has certainly provided the knowledge to try and tackle this problem better, though whilst I am trying to solve all of this, I'd definitely appreciate feedback on my errors, system health report and the entire zip folder I have provided as per normal procedure.
First off, my system:
Processor: Intel Core i7-2600k CPU @ 4.40GHz
RAM: 8192MB RAM DDR3 (2x4GB in correct slots)
Storage: 160GB SSD, 1TB HDD, 250GB HDD, 1TB External HDD
GPU: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 560 Ti 2GB
PSU: Corsair TX750W Bronze
OS: Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit retail
Motherboard: P8P67 WS Revolution
Case: Coolermaster Advanced Case II
All of the above was purchased in October 2011, so as you can imagine, none of this hardware is particularly old at all. This year however, I had my first BSOD in January, which was relating to 'ntfs.sys' and PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA. (You can see an image of this attached, named pagefaultBsod)
We head into February and March. I now receive more hardware related BSODs.
At the current rate, I see one around once a week, so I'm beginning to take action. In particular, I have received a MEMORY_MANAGEMENT 0x0000001A BSOD (Image name: memorymanagementBsod) and also 'The system has encountered an uncorrectable hardware error' at 0x00000124. (Image name: hardwareBsod)
On my first browse of these forums, there were recommendations to first actually get Windows update ... updating, so I did so. I also ran the Windows file checker to ensure I had nothing wrong with my Windows files, to which I didn't. Today I have got round to using MemTest86.
On test 6, pass 0, there was a failed address on 002079d7f0c - 8313.8MB. This doesn't really make much sense to me. (Image name for results: memtest) With two complete passes, 16 errors showed up in the same spot.
I don't have much time at the moment to spend on troubleshooting, so like I mentioned above, I'd appreciate the knowledge anyone can share on my issues and more specifically, all of the files I have attached from the BSOD dump/system file collection.
There's other steps I have on my mind to take already, such as simply taking out the RAM to then reinsert it, or possibly try different slots. I am also yet to test each stick on its own with memtest to discover which one is potentially causing the problem. I have also been reading about the correct voltage settings which I have yet to confirm if they're all good via BIOs. I'm unsure though if this would take much effect if it has technically been running fine until January.. i.e, they must be fine unless it takes its effect on RAM further down the timeline.
My last two BSODs, memory management and the uncorrectable hardware error have been when I was playing a game and when I was converting video formats, both of which take up a lot of CPU/RAM usage.
Thanks for reading. Over the next few days I will update this thread with progress on my troubleshooting, all extra steps to be taken would be appreciated.
