    BSOD error 0x3B


    Hi,

    Having lots of issues with BSOD errors. Have tried a number of fixes but can't find anything that works. I'm hoping that the very nice people here might be able to help.

    I'm also pretty PC illiterate so please don't hold that against me.

    I've posted what info I have but let me know if there is anything else I can add that will help with diagnosis.

    Many thanks

    Hi mate, sorry for the wait.

    There's only one dump in your logs (please don't use CCleaner while we're troubleshooting as it will erase all of your dump files) which is a 0x3B. As there are no drivers showing in the stack can you test your RAM using the guide below. Read carefully and follow the steps to the letter for the optimum results.

    Download and run MemTest86+ to test your RAM. RAM - Test with Memtest86+

       Note


    Run MemTest86+ for at least 8 passes. Ideally set it off before you go to bed and leave it overnight, we're looking for zero errors here. A single error will show something's going bad with your RAM.
    Code:
    SYSTEM_SERVICE_EXCEPTION (3b)
    An exception happened while executing a system service routine.
    Arguments:
    Arg1: 00000000c0000005, Exception code that caused the bugcheck
    Arg2: fffff800034857c5, Address of the instruction which caused the bugcheck
    Arg3: fffff8800999fc10, Address of the context record for the exception that caused the bugcheck
    Arg4: 0000000000000000, zero.
    
    Debugging Details:
    ------------------
    EXCEPTION_CODE: (NTSTATUS) 0xc0000005 - The instruction at 0x%p referenced memory at 0x%p. The memory could not be %s

    Many thanks for coming back. I've started running the test and it is showing up with some errors.

    I'll continue to run as per your link to try to ascertain if it is a RAM or Motherboard issue.

    Thanks again for your help with this.

    You're welcome. Hopefully it's RAM and not the motherboard, keep us posted.

    After running checks, the tests seem to indicate that it is just one stick of RAM that has failed.

    PC seems to be running fine on just one stick this morning, will keep monitoring and report back.

    Thanks again for the diagnosis.
