Solved BSOD when closing full screen games

[sharpnova]

Will do. Will set it off now as I head to bed. And get the dump file as well

Cool. We'll have a look at the results and go from there.

Hmm it's not working like it did with the other version of memtest86 I used.

I downloaded the file the instructions you linked me told me to download. I ran the executable and it formatted my USB drive again and said it copied the necessary files over. My BIOS is still set to boot from this USB drive.

And yet it simply doesn't boot to it. Restarted 3 times and tried shutting down and booting up. Each time it went straight to windows.

"memtest86+-5.01.usb.installer" is the one I downloaded and used.

Try creating the bootable USB using the ISO linked below.

Actually sorry. My BIOS showed two instances of a bootable 7800 meg USB. I guess it was still remembering the old one from my first memory test last night. When I selected the other one it worked fine and the test is running its first pass now. Off to sleep I go.

 

[Boozad]

Fingers crossed... Let us know the results.

 

[sharpnova]

Whelp it was on pass 4. Which I think mean it completed four passes and was on the fifth since it's 0 based.

It showed no errors and was still running when I got on five minutes ago.

I had it running for 11'ish hours which is strange. From what I read I thought that would get it to pass 7 or 8.

But it showed zero errors.

Is that sufficient data for our purposes? I really can't afford to have this computer inaccessible for more than 12 hours.

Also: I'll be back in just a bit with the regular log file

 

[Boozad]

We really do need to run eight passes with MemTest86+ for conclusive results. It's taking a long time because of the amount of memory you have installed.

 

[sharpnova]

All I can think of is testing a single stick a night. Would that be enough?

 

[Boozad]

I'd recommend two sticks at a time really as you're testing the slots as well as the sticks. Two sticks should go through overnight no trouble.

 

[sharpnova]

Ok. I'll test two tonight.

 

[sharpnova]

Still haven't had a chance (or a BSOD, but I don't care about that. they'll come) Been super busy and my computer is awkwardly placed.

Will try to do it early this week.

 

[sharpnova]

Ok finally all done!

So I was able to run a test on all four sticks at once and hence hit all slots as well.

Zero errors came up -.-

 

[Boozad]

That's good news. Can you run the forum tool to gather any new dump files and upload the new logs.

 

[sharpnova]

Sorry for the delay been majorly swamped

Here is the new dump

Installing SP1 solved the problem
