    random BSOD's at random times


    I have recently replaced the ram in my rig (4gb ddr2 667mhz) with 8gb ddr2 800mhz and was randomly experiencing BSOD's. done some searching, and decided to "underclock" the ram to 667. this helped for a while until a recent restart of the pc. Ran memtest86+ on both speeds (667 & 800mhz) and only got errors (8) on the 800mhz speed, and not exactly sure why. I have attached a dump file (not sure if I did it correctly) to this post if its any help at all. any help would be appreciated. thanks

    Chuck if you got errors then mate you need to get the RAM replaced - it wouldn't matter if it were one or one hundred errors the RAM is still faulty.

    Its not showing errors when I underclock it, only when it is clocked at the specified speed

    Turn off/Disable Driver Verifier when you test memory but your motherboard most likely doesn't support the higher speed or the memory module(s) is faulty.

    Update or uninstall TeamSpeak3. It appears to be crashing your system.

    Code:
     
    DRIVER_VERIFIER_DETECTED_VIOLATION (c4)
    A device driver attempting to corrupt the system has been caught.  This is
    because the driver was specified in the registry as being suspect (by the
    administrator) and the kernel has enabled substantial checking of this driver.
    If the driver attempts to corrupt the system, bugchecks 0xC4, 0xC1 and 0xA will
    be among the most commonly seen crashes.
    Arguments:
    Arg1: 0000000000000091, A driver switched stacks using a method that is not supported by
     the operating system. The only supported way to extend a kernel
     mode stack is by using KeExpandKernelStackAndCallout.
    Arg2: 0000000000000000
    Arg3: fffffa800aac2640
    Arg4: 0000000000000000
    Debugging Details:

    Ok, motherboard is supposed to support ddr2 1200+ so it might be faulty. also I haven't always been running ts3 when the BSOD occurred. not sure if that helps or not

    For test purposes, also uninstall DayZ.

    It may just be a coincidence but two of the dumps occurred while one or the other was running. The other dump may be a Nvidia driver but at least it's easier to find the problem if the dumps are consistent. Faulty memory doesnt help either.
