BSOD playing FSX or FSX SE, SYSTEM_SERVICE_EXCEPTION ,err 0x0000003b

Trust me, I know the aggravation. I have been exactly where you are and had to do the same things, numerous times. But, it is the only way to know whether it is bad ram or a bad Motherboard Dimm slot. The odds are that it is the ram, but I have had a few that it was a bad dim slot. One board I ran memtest at least 30 times. It would run any stick of ram in any slot with no problems, but it would not run 2 sticks together. that was with 4 X 4 GB sticks, which takes around 20 hours to run 8 passes. So, I understand, but it is the wise thing to do. Just keep me posted and let me know the results. It is much more likely it is the ram rather than the board, but you want to know for sure or you will replace the ram and be right back where you are now.

I'm another one who has went through the hell of testing ram and ram slots. (32gigs and 8 slots)

Just make a big pot of coffee and go for it.

Hi,

I have tested bouth moduls of 4GB one by one in all slots and every time after 4- 8 hours the errors appeared.
For one dim one error and for another three errors. I have reclamated this two simm and took cheeper two simms for a period until they resolve my reclamation(I suppose they will test memory too). Now I m testing this new simms.
My question is : Memory is only ok when there is no error in testing cca 8-10 hours or it can appear one or two errors ?
I think there mast not appear any error that we can take that memory as ok.
I will report what will happend.

Hi,
The test with replacment memory (1600MHz) was success. There was no error after 10 hours (10 pass).
When I get my speeder memory (1866) I will repeat the tests.

Good news, that's great. Now, with the memory fixed, see how your computer runs and that you get no more BSODs. Once you believe that your problem is solved, please mark this thread as Solved. In the future, please be sure you download the test from Memtest86+ - Advanced Memory Diagnostic Tool. That is the best, most accurate test we have. Congratulations on resolving that issue, I suspect you will have many fewer problems now.

Of course I have download memtest86+ as you said. I allways listen people who has a lot of knowledge and expirience.
I m IT man (developer, sql , admin for mini and midle systems) and know a lot and know there is much more what I do not know.
Once upone time I was better with hardware and drivers.
I was not suspected on memory because only I and when I run fsx and add-on there is BSOD (my wife newer, she use ms word). Now all have sence.
Just give me 2-3 days to check system and to flight two flights and I will mark that as solved and buy you a beer.
