What causes BSOD

[Bare Foot Kid]

well i can tell you that if your running 3/4gb of ram your get the blue screen of death, i was running 2gb ram and windows 7 run fine and today i put in another gig and blue screened every time, rebooted in to xp and everythink was fine so i know its not the new ram, took out a older ram stick 1gb and it booted win7 fine again....

Well it's not because of too much RAM, as I run 8GB of RAM with Windows 7 with no problems.

then that can only lead to somethink very odd... maybe sound drivers as the last thing i saw was win7 doing a update for the sound driver but was the same sound driver it did before i put the 3gb in

but are you running the 32 or 64.. with 8gb i`d guess on 64.

but are you running the 32 or 64.. with 8gb i`d guess on 64.

I've done both, here's proof (from my old system) of the 32-bit; I can't get one from the 64-bit right now. There are a lot of people running more than 8GB also.

You might just have some bad RAM. I 'm dual booting 7 64 bit with Vista 32 bit and I'm running it with 8GB of memory. Like Bare Foot Kid says, some are using 7 with 12GB of memory.

cant be bad ram as im running xp fine right now with the same ram in.. ohwell im sure MS will get around to doing somethink about it as its still a early beta. 7022
thanks for the info

ok after hours and hours of testing and messing about i foundout why i was getting the bluescreen of death nothing to do with the mem stick as people said "thanks for the headsup" so i moved on to a few other things and like i said before the last thing i remember seing was a update from ms for my sound card so after the 3rd install..lol i blocked the update for my soundblast 5.1 live pro and when with the onboard and here ya go back on win7 working fine and running great,

thanks once again to them who pointed in me the right way

Glad you found the solution zipman.

i think any overclocking with any windows os should be handled carefully because no matter what you do your pushing the whole computer to certain limits regardless of ram, did you benchmark your configuration before you overclocked, its a quick rule of thumb that might tell you alot more than you bargained for, i had the same problem and after i reset everything i benchmarked and set my ram usage accordingly, system starting working better and is a little faster now too

wow i thought i was the only one

yeap this is what is giving me the bluescreen of death turned on update again and Bang it downloaded - Creative driver update for Creative EMU10K1 Audio Processor (WDM) and with in a secon of it doing so bluescreen but now using the onboard sound its fine, i dont seem to have a mic any one know about how to set that up..? played with the sound setting for a while now with no luck pluged mic in the right place in the back and in the front with no joy its not showing a mic anywhere.

thanks for any help once again

yeah i hear ya

yeah i noticed that with certain drivers windows 7 acts a little buggy, with some programs i have to run as administrator but for the most part everything works, certain vista pacthes from windows update work also with sound cards, my freind had a simular problem with his creative sound card i will check and see what he did to fix it and get back to you..

 

[zipman]

ok a update to my lovely blue screen of death and nasty sound.
i have tryed every drivers i could find and the long nights and days of looking is over i now have sound and a mic working sound is still not the best but its ok if i use only 2 speakers i can live with that for now but have a working mic now aswell..
only drivers i found that worked with out any errors other then when installing them..

Blue Screen is system failure. . . [kicks a rock down the street for 37 minutes]

Many things can cause that sort of failure. ^but It is usually the thing you did, before it happened.
