Thanks, would fresh air work? You can get this in a can? Well worth me having a go at cleaning it :)

Yep mate it will work depends on the age of the board some I have cleaned like that are absolutely filthy from the fine almost microscopic particles that get bound the the contacts when the machine heats up.
But go ahead you can't do any harm by giving it a quick blast remember just very short bursts or the sudden release of pressure withing th can can make the air tune into a stream of very cold liquid a with the resulting air moisture become frozen onto whatever you re blowing well I don't need to tell you what water would do inside the machine eh? .
I have actioned the mem test with 21 passes and 0 errors found.
Did you run memtest with default setting? You picture look a lot different than mine.

I have a furthur BSOD Memory_Management, I have attached the log files... This is really annoying now lol
Hardware and memory is not my cup of tea ..... Gary, Yussi and John can take proper care of those stuff.
What can I say taht a stop 0x1A MEMORY_MANAGEMENT may occur due to not only a failing RAM, but also due to a failing device driver. So I think it is better to enable Driver Verifier to monitor the drivers now.
Driver Verifier - Enable and Disable
Run Driver Verifier for 24 hours or the occurrence of the next crash, whichever is earlier.
InformationWhy Driver Verifier:
It puts a stress on the drivers, ans so it makes the unstable drivers crash. Hopefully the driver that crashes is recorded in the memory dump.
How Can we know that DV is enabled:
It will make the system bit of slow, laggy.
WarningBefore enabling DV, make it sure that you have earlier System restore points made in your computer. You can check it easily by using CCleaner looking at Tools > System Restore.
If there is no points, make a System Restore Point manually before enabling DV.
Let us know the results, with the subsequent crash dumps, if any.Tip
- If you fail to get on the Desktop because of DV, Boot into Advanced Boot Options > Safe mode. Disable DV there. Now boot normally again, and try following the instruction of enabling DV again.
- If you cannot boot in Safe mode too, do a System Restore to a point you made earlier.
I think you need to download the correct memtest. From the snip it shows version 4.2.0, mine is 4.20 and has a green banner.
RAM (memory):
This will require memtest on a bootable CD or USB stick.
RAM - Test with Memtest86+
Ok will do that too, appreciate all your help guys :) I will keep you posted
In the diagnostic tool do I grab all still or only a selected file? It just froze on me at start up but no bsod? Do I have to wait for a bsod?
