All I get is a big red X

 

[djnour]

Sorry, dont know what happened there, but here are the new dumps,

 

[richc46]

Ya, I ran the memtest with both of them yesterday for 3 passes

Hints at memory, again. I really want to be sure before I rule it out. It is suggested, by memtest that you try for 8 passes and then 6 passes on each stick.

 

[djnour]

I'm only using 1 now, that I ran for 10 passes by itself no errors, should I run it again

 

[richc46]

run each stick alone for 6 passes.
Then all for 8 passes. If that passes we can move on.

 

[djnour]

That's what I did the last couple of days, and currently I'm only using one stick of ram that had no errors for 10 passes
Should I really run it again?

 

[richc46]

If you use the computer with the one stick and you got BSODs?
Do you have dual channel memory?

 

[djnour]

Well the sticks I bought came seperately, their the exa iv just been using them together, and my motherboard supports single dual and quad,
And I just used the single now that memtest came up with errors when I used two of them, and iv only gotten 1 bsod while using just one stick.

 

[richc46]

Sounds like you mixed and matched, not is not good with RAM. Should buy all at once.

 

[djnour]

Ya, I thought it would work out, but guess I learnt from that mistake,
Would that damage the sticks of ram?

 

[richc46]

No would not hurt the stick, but they just cant work together. Regardless of promises and other things that you may hear, for a few dollars more, buy all you need all at once.

 

[djnour]

Ya, I definitely will next time

 

[djnour]

Came home to find that windows manager has crashed, then got another bsod, minidumps attached, I am now only using the 1 stick of ram though

 

[richc46]

I am disregarding everything prior to using one stick. I have one report.
It shows hard drive. Go to the website of your hard drive manufacturer and test the drive. Submit any new reports.

 

[djnour]

Went to the seagate site, ran all the test possible everything came back positive

 

[richc46]

Run the computer in clean boot. When you have ran it long enough to feel that you will not get a BSOD, start putting the start up items back slowly, so you can determine the cause.

[djnour]

Got bsod without re-enabling anything,
should I just re-install windows?

 

[richc46]

Really hate to go there unless really necessary. Try in safe mode.

 

[djnour]

In safe mode now, but I have no access to the internet, and i cant do what i normaly do when im on my computer, internet and edit videos.
