BSOD normal or safe mode, multiple errors
Greetings! A couple of years ago I made a post detailing my previous BSOD issues (original thread http://tinyurl.com/psp7ny5). I dont know if i found the cause but i did find a workaround.
Basically I started re-seating the memory modules in my ASUS m50vm and found that putting either of my two modules into one particular slot (the top slot in this case) would cause a BSOD error during the windows loading screen when booting normally OR into safe mode. Removing that module and placing it into the bottom slot, however, allows my computer to boot and work normally.
Upon discovering this, I assumed it was a hardware issue, a problem with my motherboard perhaps, and have been using my computer, with only one 2gb module seated in the lower slot on my motherboard, without issue since then.
Fast-forward to today, I decided to pop in the other 2gb module (into the top slot), boot up my machine, and as expected a BSOD error happened during the windows loading screen, and again after trying to boot into safe mode. Putting either module into that top slot, or one module into both slots, cause this to happen. I think I also re-installed windows sine my original thread.
My computer works fine otherwise, except that sometimes, if I leave Chrome alone for a while, my computer will BSOD, and it only seems to happen when I have Chrome open and am away from my computer or something (I do not have the specific .dmp files from these instances, though). I have the .dmp files from last night and earlier today, as well as some other goodies. I'm hoping someone can take a look at this and maybe help me to figure this out. Thanks!
