[Craig Beverley]

now now, dont get sad i will do it but ill start it tomorrow, so ill have the results by 12/10/2012 (UK Date <<< how its meant to be )

 

[koolkat77]

Okay
Good luck

 

[Craig Beverley]

My Motherboard is fine, theres no problems with it i dont think. there hasnt been a blue screen since the RAM update and the MAGIC disc went, but im pretty much sure that everything else is fine

 

[koolkat77]

Hmm, okay.
Did you look for a BIOS update? Although I forgot what are your current versions BIOS date is. (BIOS updates are always good)
If you want to do the hard drive test..You can do it the way I mentioned earlier...

And if you want to observe your computer for more BSoDs or problems.. Keep the thread open for another week or longer before marking as solved.

 

[Craig Beverley]

well my BIOS is up to date according to Gigabyte so i think im safe on that and ill probably try my HDD another time, because its not causing any problems atm

 

[koolkat77]

Great! So what do we do now

 

[Craig Beverley]

i guess wait until i get this test done ill see you in about 4 days

 

[koolkat77]

Haha, :devil:
Alrighty, see you then

 

[koolkat77]

So did you get more BSoDs?

 

[Craig Beverley]

Woops, sorry i forgot to get back to you I did not however during the time i had my GPU out i had an update on my Graphics driver, so ive installed that and everything is running smoothly, as we've figured out the RAM was just faulty and MAGICDisc was also BSODing my computer so i thank you for the fix and hope that you can help other people as well as you've helped me Thank you again

 

[koolkat77]

Thanks for the update Craig, glad to be of help and I learned allot while trying to help you
If you believe your problem is solved go ahead and mark this thread as "solved" and if you want, you can wait another week before marking it as solved. If you have other problems related to your computer you can create a thread in a appropriate section here.

Stay well,
Kooooolkat

 

[Craig Beverley]

well before i mark this as solved, is it possible to link you into a thread to use you as an assistant again for later problems? i like how you deal with problems and your attitude towards problems simply just to know the person that is helping me with problems makes things so much easier to explain things to

 

[koolkat77]

Sweet
I've added you to my friend list, you need to accept it.
You'll then have access to "visitor messages". You can test one after accepting the request

 

[Craig Beverley]

well unfortunately its not allowing me to zip the file... but the error code is a 0x0000001A? Bug check string: MEMORY_MANAGEMENT ill carry on trying to zip this folder though

 

[koolkat77]

STOP 0x0000001A: MEMORY_MANAGEMENT
Usual causes:  Device driver, memory, kernel

Umm, how many stick of ram are you currently running on?

 

[Craig Beverley]

3 sticks 1x2GB Samsung 2x1GB (unknown make) but they were perfectly fine beforehand?

 

[koolkat77]

Yeah well they were working okay all this while. Do you have another computer around?

 

[Craig Beverley]

unfortunately i do not, what were you thinking?

 

[koolkat77]

I was thinking of telling you to put them on another computer and see if there are blue screens, cause they're the new ram sticks right? Btw, what were you doing when it blue screened this time?

 

[Craig Beverley]

No i didnt get the new sticks of RAM as i needed the money for other things, they are what a friend gave me and they've worked for him (no BSoD's). and this time i was just about to walk away from my computer, so being idle.
