    [*]are you overclocking?
    No sir .. I am not overclocking :) im running a new i5 processor at 3.1ghz as per factory instrucions
    [*]is your memory a purchased set or is it mixed (you bought different modules at different times)?
    Its a purchaed set of crosshair vengangace 2 x 4meg ... I removed the mixed and i am putting the vengance only ddr3 1 and 2 ( this is clearly marked on the motherboard, as per manual.
    [*]what specific version of windows is this, and where did you get it?
    Im using windows 7 home, i paid for it and have the disk.
    [*]what size power supply do you have?
    I have a crosshair 750volts
    [*]is the 8 pin eps power connector connected to the mb?
    Yes sir it is [*]lastly, have you checked to see that your cpu cooler is fully secured to the mb?
    Im not sure what the cpu cooler looks like ? Im am assuming the i5 has its own fan. I can see the i5 fan going around with no clunking and it seems to be spinning clearly ...i only have |cpu fan and a case fan running and they seem to be running fine? I removed the radeon graphics card to use the onboard graphics
    [/list]at any rate you really need to run memtest to determine where the memory is, after that...
    I did run memtest ... It found no problems. How can i post you the results?

    and if you can't run memtest from the bios, you have a hardware problem, not a windows problem.
    thanks

    I'll have a look at the dmp files this evening when I get home from work.

    In the meantime please run MemTest86+ for a minimum of 8 passes.

    It shouldn't take that long. If I remember, it should only take maybe a few hours. It's been awhile but it certainly shouldn't be no more than 5 hours, if that.

    Good luck

    And this one confused me....

    This sounds like you had mixed RAM in the system. You need to use ONLY matched sets. So, for troubleshooting purposes, just leave the matched Corsair Vengeance in, nothing else. Run memtest and report back the results.

    Hi Again,
    Sorry for being a pain
    The machine is still BSODing on me ........
    I read an article about a Stress Test ??? Will this help identify the problem? (assuming I can get to stay stable long enough)

    Here is the BSOD code . I will se if i can find anything on google about it ?
    BSOD CODE
    BCCode: f4
    BCP1: 0000000000000003
    BCP2: FFFFFA8009373B30
    BCP3: FFFFFA8009373E10
    BCP4: FFFFF800031D37B0

    Im am determinded to work out what the problem is as over the past few months I spent a tidy sum of quids to buy all the componants
    Unfortunately your earlier ZIP file doesn't cotain the BSOD .dmp file so I have nothing to analyse.

    Navigate to C:\Windows\Minidump and locate any files with a .dmp extension. Copy them to another user created folder, then ZIP them, and upload them here in your next reply. Send me a PM to let me know when you have done that.

    Well at this point I have no further suggestions other than suggesting you post your issue in the BSOD Help and Support - Windows 7 Help Forums where Golden and his crew can best look at it.

    Good luck.
