It is difficult to provide troubleshooting steps without the crash reports. Please follow the http://www.sevenforums.com/crashes-debugging/96879-blue-screen-death-bsod-posting-instructions.html to provide us with the crash reports to analyze.

My bad, here are the required files.

Crashes point primarily to memory problems.

• If you are overclocking any hardware, please stop.
  
  
• Run the boot version of Memtest86+ paying close attention to Parts 2 and 3 of the tutorial. Also, in case Memtest86+ misses anything and comes up with no errors, run the extended version of the Windows Memory Diagnostics Tool for at least five passes. These you may want to run overnight since they take a long time to complete (run them an hour before bed each of the next two nights and check before going to sleep that they are still running).
  
     Warning

  Before you proceed with the following, answer these two questions: Are you still under warranty? Does your warranty allow you to open up the machine to check hardware? If you are unsure of the answers to these questions, contact your system manufacturer. :warn:WARNING: The steps that follow can void your warranty!!!
  
  For Part 3: If You Have Errors: If you swap any memory components, follow these steps for ESD safety:
  1. Shut down and turn off your computer.
  2. Unplug all power supplies to the computer (AC Power then battery for laptops, AC power for desktops)
  3. Hold down the power button for 30 seconds to close the circuit and ensure all power drains from components.
  4. Make sure you are grounded by using proper grounding techniques, i.e. work on an anti-static workbench, anti-static desk, or an anti-static pad. Hold something metallic while touching it to the anti-static surface, or use an anti-static wristband to attach to the anti-static material while working. If you do not have an anti-static workbench, desk, or pad, you can use your computer tower/case by finding a metal hold in it, such as a drive bay.
  Once these steps have been followed, it is safe to remove and replace components within your computer.
  
  
• Download and install CPU-Z and Upload screenshots of the CPU, Mainboard, Memory, and SPD tabs. In the SPD tab, upload an image of each slot.

Thanks for your help so far.
Memtest86+ showed 0 errors after 10 runs. I am not overclocking.
Meanwhile, i have 1E, 7E and 4A BSOD errors.

Crashes point primarily to memory problem.

Could you be more specific about that?

 

[writhziden]

I can be more specific about it once I get a little more information. Basically, I suspect that your RAM either is not compatible with the system or you have a faulty module.

Can you provide the part number of the Kingston modules? Based on the CPU-Z information, I found KHX1600C9AD3/2G, but I do not know if that is accurate or not. Please try to find your KHX*********/2G info.

 

[jackal454]

Both modules have KHX1600C9D3B1/2G part number.
These modules were in the motherboard for 2 years already and first 1,5 years worked just fine.

Integrated DRAM Controller with AMD Memory Optimizer Technology

• A high-bandwidth, low-latency integrated memory controller
• Supports PC2-8500 (DDR2-1066); PC2-6400 (DDR2-800), PC2-5300 (DDR2-667), PC2-4200 (DDR2-533) or PC2-3200 (DDR2-400) SDRAM unbuffered DIMMs – AM2+
• Support for unregistered DIMMs up to PC2 8500(DDR2-1066MHz) and PC3 10600 (DDR3-1333MHz) – AM3
• Up to 17.1GB/s memory bandwidth for DDR2 and up to 21GB/s memory bandwidth for DDR3
  • Benefit: Quick access to system memory for better performance.

The above quote was taken from AMD Phenom


Your RAM is intended to run at 1600 MHz and is above the 1333 MHz that is recommended for the Phenom II processor. I would recommend that you read through System Building and Compatibility

AMD Memory for Systems may also be helpful.

Thank you for your help Prob. i will change the processor instead of ram for an upgrade

 

[writhziden]

You will need to change the motherboard to upgrade to a processor that supports 1600 MHz RAM. Your current motherboard is only compatible with AM3 processors, and those only support up to 1333 MHz DDR3 RAM.

Yeah i know that, but thanks for reminding anyways
