    Occasional BSOD, now cannot boot besides safe mode


    As mentioned in my previous thread some time ago, my computer has been prone to BSODs since I got it. I always assumed it was software-related as it never happened in safe mode. Today I was working on a word document with music in the background and the music made a grinding hanging noise like my computer was about to crash, I lost my video signal, then the song finished and my playlist stopped. Numlock stopped working so i reset the computer, now it boots up until the winds splash screen, which finishes normally but I lose my video signal right after this. If I boot in to safe mode it runs fine.

    I have tried windows restore (to a point prior to a windows update I did 2 days ago), and it has run the startup repair tool with no success ('cannot automatically repair the error'). I have tried rolling back my video driver and updating to the most recent one. No change in computer's functionality. Any help at all will be appreciated, I have included the BSOD crash log info in here for what it is worth, though this particular incident was not associated with a BSOD to my knowledge.

    It appears that you have a memory problem
    Take memtest. Test each stick, alone, in the same slot for 8 passes
    Test all the sticks together for 8 passes
