    Thanks, will do.

    Apologies for having a zip file with so many minidumps in it. It put them all in there, including the ones from over a year ago!

    Obviously only the most recent 5 or so are relevant.

    If it's just RAM sticks I'll be very happy, probably one of the easier things to replace. I still get kind of nervous opening up a tower though.

    There is a chance, but nothing can be said with certainty without doing the test.

    Also try this : SFC
    Log in to your account as an Administrator and go to the start button, type in cmd in the search box and right click on the result and Run as Administrator. In the elevated cmd window, type SFC /SCANNOW and press enter. Let it run until it scan to the end. You may also try this in safe mode with command prompt as the cmd window directly appears and then just key in SFC /SCANNOW there.

    There is a tutorial for that, easier than typing it out.

    This may help, run the steps outlined in this tutorial, Option Two, and reboot the system:
    SFC /SCANNOW Command - System File Checker

       Note
    If after 2 runs there are still corrupt files, it won't fix it. I can ask for further help if so.


    You may get this result:
    Code:
    Windows Resource Protection found corrupt files and successfully repaired
    them. Details are included in the CBS.Log windir\Logs\CBS\CBS.log. For
    example C:\Windows\Logs\CBS\CBS.log
    The system file repair changes will take effect after the next reboot.
    Or a message that no integrity violations were found.
    Or that Windows Resource Protection found errors it cannot repair, if so rerun the steps above.

    Thanks greatly for the suggestions. I've downloaded memtest and should be able to run it over the weekend at some point. So I'll do that first.

    Without tempting fate, I've had my pc on for 5 hours last night with no issues, and briefly today. All I've done is literally poke at some wires inside to check they're not loose, and clean the fan filters as they were very full of dust. The inside is pretty dust-free, so the filters at least do one job correctly. Also I've taken my headphones out of the front headphone socket, as I'm using them elsewhere for the first time.

    I have a minor issue, non-fatal, with my sound card fairly often. About 1 boot in 20 the sound card just doesn't initialize, but I don't know if this is relevant for any of my BSOD. Do RAM sticks overheat? I know that's a pretty stupid suggestion, but humour me :)

    If I have time to put a little stress on the RAM, GPU etc over the weekend, I'll play some games, and post a BSOD if another comes up. Are modern computers/RAM that sensitive to slightly high temperatures?

    Cheers,
    Ben

    Thanks for the suggestion Gary. Will always do this next time whe helping others
    And Ben, you said that you had a lot of dust in there so it is usual to have high temps.

    So a mini update.

    Unfortunately I did not have time to run memtest over the weekend, was busier than expected!

    I had a few BSOD during the weekend, almost all the stop codes this time were either A or 1A. Yesterday I had my pc running for over 10 hours straight until right at the end of the day when I closed down Firefox. Firefox 'closed unexpectedly' as I minimized a flash video and then the BSOD happened about 1 second later.

    This was after I updated to the most recent nVidia driver in the morning. I tried to update my sound card drivers, but there have been no new ones for years for a lot of the SoundBlaster range.

    I'm guessing A and 1A mean I've got a bit of a RAM stick faulty somewhere, but I'll try and find time for the proper diagnostics. If it runs OK this evening I'll post the latest few minidumps.

    Yes please run memtest86+ exactly as in the tutorial.
    Some other hardware tests to run.


    Hard drive(s)test(s):
    Pick one for your HDD brand or use Seatools.
    7 Free Hard Drive Testing Software Tools

    RAM (memory) test:
    This will require memtest on a bootable CD or USB stick.
    RAM - Test with Memtest86+

    Did you do the SFC scan?
    This may help, run the steps outlined in this tutorial, Option Two, and reboot the system:
    SFC /SCANNOW Command - System File Checker

       Note

    I have just done three successive SFC scans, and it came up clear. I am now going to try windows memory diagnostic.

    Here are the latest minidumps.

    I also ran windows memory checker and it came up blank, but only after 2 runs. I checked my BIOS and I can't see a USB boot option, so I might need to go find a RWCD for memtest.
