Take memtest. Run for 8 passes and test each stick in a know good slot for an additional 6 passes.

• http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/105647-ram-test-memtest86.html

The goal is to test all the RAM sticks and all the motherboard slots.

Check your motherboard manual to ensure the RAM sticks are in the recommended motherboard slots. Some motherboards have very specific slots required for the number of RAM sticks installed.

If you get errors, stop the test and continue with the next step.

1. Remove all but one stick of RAM from your computer (this will be RAM stick #1), and run Memtest86 again, for 7 passes.

*Be sure to note the RAM stick, use a piece of tape with a number, and note the motherboard slot.
​

If this stick passes the test then go to step #3.

2. If RAM stick #1 has errors, repeat the test with RAM stick #2 in the same motherboard slot.

*If RAM stick #2 passes, this indicates that RAM stick #1 may be bad. If you want to be absolutely sure, re-test RAM stick #1 in another known good slot.
​

*If RAM stick #2 has errors, this indicates another possible bad RAM stick, a possible motherboard slot failure or inadequate settings.
​

3. Test the next stick of RAM (stick #2) in the next motherboard slot.

*If this RAM stick has errors repeat step #2 using a known good stick if possible, or another stick.
​

*If this RAM stick has no errors and both sticks failed in slot#1, test RAM stick #1 in this slot.
​

4. If you find a stick that passes the test, test it in all the other motherboard slots.

If Part 2 testing shows errors, and all tests in Part 3 show errors, you will need to test the RAM sticks in another computer and/or test other RAM in your computer to identify the problem.

In this way, you can identify whether it is a bad stick of RAM, a bad motherboard, or incompatibility between the sticks.

:info: Errors are sometimes found after 8 passes.
:tip: Do this test overnight, before going to bed.

All right, I'll try to get it done by this sunday. Thanks for the help.

Update the thread when you're ready, good luck

All right I did everything in your instructions except the RAM testing; I unzipped and ran the program to install the program to a Thumb Drive then reset the computer a few times each time the program failed to run, tried setting the boot order to use the thumb drive as my primary and it would not start the program. Here are the Hdd screen shots and a BlueScreenView text file for the multiple fails.

Kingston is my Windows drive the 2nd drive is my game/media drive.

I need the files from http://www.sevenforums.com/crashes-debugging/96879-blue-screen-death-bsod-posting-instructions.html

Is the firmware of the SSD up-to-date?
Did you test the hard drive? how old is it?

 

[Wokrider]

I just updated the firmware this morning and I installed the hard drive back in September.

I was not aware you could update the firmware on SSD drives that might fix the issues but better safe than sorry.

 

[koolkat77]

The instruction at 0x%08lx referenced memory at 0x%08lx. The memory could not be %s.

I think you should test your RAM now.

How many sticks of RAM do you have? Test them individually as mentioned in my first post.

 

[Wokrider]

4x4gig sticks, I updated my spec in my profile to match my new rig.

I'll try to use the ram testing program again.

 

[Wokrider]

Okay I am running the RAM test now. 30% of pass one on stick one of four.

 

[Wokrider]

Sorry busy week, anyway I ran all four sticks of ram no errors came back so I switched the order that I had the ram installed in and that seems to have done the trick.

Have not had a crash since I updated the firmware on the SSD and rearranged the ram.

Thanks for the help.

Thanks.

Let us know if they reoccur.
