Solved BSOD playing CS:GO/APB/ARMA II, error 0x0000003b & 0x000000a

Well the manufacturer states anything below 72 degrees is fine. I should have mentioned that it only reaches those temperatures at maximum load. Normal idle temps are like 26-30 degrees. Also, I went ahead and said to myself: "self...check the ram". Well I put in two sticks that I knew were stable and BAM! No problems. So my guess is even though I ran memtest TWICE for over 24 hours there is still a bad stick (my fault for getting cheap ram). I've already ordered 4 sticks of corsair.

I believe 72 is the max critical, as in that is the max temperature before the ACPI kicks in and most likely forces the system to shut down. If it gets even near that temperature it will still tarnish the CPU considerably.

The system may not have bad RAM so much as it may just be incompatible RAM modules or RAM setup for that particular motherboard. Make sure that is not the case before purchasing RAM that may end up repeating the same symptoms for that reason.

No issues at all with this new ram.

Sounds like a winner. You may mark this thread as solved at your discretion.
