BSOD playing most games on Steam (FO3, F:NV, Arkham Asylum)

[Capt SLow]

Hi I am currently having problems with the BSOD. Windows seems to think it is a memory problem, but every time I run the windows memory diagnostic tool it doesn't find any problems. The BSOD occurs most frequently while playing games on steam, however it has happened at random. I don't have the error code that pops up during the BSOD but I will try to get it if I see it during a crash again. Sorry I am a bit of a computer novice, but I have included the .zip file that is requested. Batman Arkham Asylum gave me a notice once before a BSOD that said I was out of virtual memory, which I thought was related to RAM. I currently have 8gb of RAM.

I have adjusted the sticks of RAM on my motherboard just to see if it was a bad port after the BSOD started, but that did nothing. I would like to know if it is indeed a memory problem, and how to fix it. Or at the very least know what is causing the problem.

Thanks.

Welcome
From your dump reports the problem seems to be due to a bad driver or a hardware problem, which includes memory. Based upon your post, memory will be the place to start. Take this test for 8 passes. Then test each stick in a good slot for 6 passes each.

I have started the tests and have completed two so far with no errors being found. Once I finish the tests I will make another post. The problem has gotten worse because now I can only boot my computer in safe mode. The last time I attempted to boot normally my PC got to the desktop of windows then my PC display.went black and the PC made a screeching noise. Sorry for any grammar mistakes but I have to use my android phone to post here.

I ran the memory test with both sticks in all 8 times and I didn't get a single error. However, twice while running the tests I had the screen become a mess of text. I took a photo with my cell phone and attached it to this post. I am now starting to test each stick individually even though I still don't know if it is a motherboard issue or a RAM stick issue.

If you fail the test you will be told how many errors you had.
