    Mysterious occasional BSOD, seemingly random.


    My first post. Please be gentle...

    I just refurbed a used machine off of Ebay, Cloned my W7U64 install from a similar unit that had physical damage into a bigger HDD.

    Same CPU and mobo so I am lost why I'm getting BSOD. Before the physical damage, that install ran great for months without any BSOD. If you gents could point me towards a direction, I should be able to fix it *crosses fingers*.

    Welcome
    You have given us 3 dump reports all different. This is usually an indication of hardware problems, although more confirming dumps would be required to make a definitive analysis. One of your dumps mentions memory, however, so lets start with that
    Take memtest86

    Well, I originally skipped MEMTEST86 on this rig since it lacks an optical drive. I guess that figures.

    Since I can't run it until I get a drive for it (I don't think the BIOS allows boot from USB... The BIOS is really limited), I just took out the smaller SODIMM and used it for a day. No BSOD so far, so that might have been the culprit!

    Thanks for your help.

    Cheers!

Hello. I've been having strange issues with my media center PC. I've never seen the machine restart since it is mainly a server and is headless. I'm not sure if it "Bluescreens" every time, but occasionally it will create a dump file that I can open in BlueScreenView. I've replaced the CPU,...
I've been plagued by odd problems since making this custom build about a month ago, but the latest is the increasing frequency of BSODs. They never occur at load (gaming with high end specs), but often occur at shutdown (forcing a restart before I can then actually shut down). I normally boot into...
