    Different BSOD while doing various things.


    My computer usually either gets a BSOD, crash, or just restart itself, randomly. Sometimes it will be while I am playing a game, sometimes when I am on the internet, and sometimes just when I start it up. It will even crash when starting up, after a restart. It'll freeze in the BIOS menu, and sometimes it won't start up at all, and just make a loud beeping noise.

    ANY information will be helpful, at this point. I have tried using windows System Restore, to no avail, and tried searching up the BSOD error codes on the internet. Nothing seems to be solving them. I don't know whether it is a hardware error, or a software error.

    It's hardware.

    Freezing in the BIOS is a sign of hardware failure.

    The beeps you hear should be in a discernible rhythm. Those beeps are BIOS error codes.


    The first place to start would be memory.

    Download Memtest and burn to a bootable disc or flash drive.

    The app runs straight away. 6-8 passes is optimal. (aside from the first test, each pass takes a rough hour to run. So it's uasually best to leave run overnight)

    However you can stop the test the moment you see an error.

    There are generally 3 possible outcomes from a memtest error.

    Incorrect BIOS settings (timings/voltages)
    Faulty RAM module
    Bad Dimm slot/mother board.

    Send me a VM when have you run memtest and we can take it from there.
