BSOD's Multiple Error Codes.

[Asim0889]

So starting a few days ago, my custom build randomly gave me a bsod while playing guild wars 2. Since then, they happen almost every time I boot the computer into normal mode. Now when I boot it up without my wireless usb adapter, everything works fine. Sometimes I can plug it in after everything loads, and it'll read and work fine for a while, but then randomly bsod when I'm in the middle of something. Safe mode with networking seems to be working fine though. I can even boot right into it with the adapter still plugged in. I've been trouble shooting it all day. Diskchk returned no errors. Did an Avast bootscan with no viruses, but when I'd try and do a full system scan it'd BSOD. (even in safe mode.) Ran memtest, and found thousands of errors on one stick, and then ran the other all night and got 9 errors on that one. So new memory has been ordered, and hopefully that will solve most of my problem. I was just wondering if someone could let me know if that's the extent of my issue, or if there's something else I should do.

Thanks in advance! ^^

Most likely the ram there, but one thing did catch my attention. The USB ports, whats plugged into them?

Keyboard, mouse, a 120mm thermaltake fan, and a rosewill wireless LAN adapter. The adapter seems to be a second problem as everything runs fine until I plug it in. I've already installed the most up to date driver for it, and when that didn't work I reinstalled the driver from the cd that came with it. Still no luck.

Asim,
In line with the suggestion from Skylais,
Run 6 passes with Memtest86+.
Download the version that you burn to CD and use the CD version.

Here are links for you:
Memtest86+ - Advanced Memory Diagnostic Tool

Well I ran it with one stick returning thousands of errors in a matter of minutes and figured that was enough to tell me the stick was bad, and the other stick ran for 8 passes and returned 9 errors. I've already ordered a replacement pair. But the odd thing is that I'm on my computer now, and it's working fine. It's just 95% of the time, when the wireless usb adapter is plugged in, I get bsod's.

Ok is this the adapter : Name [00000007] RNX-N180UBE Wireless LAN 802.11n USB 2.0 Network Adapter??

If so here are the correct drivers : http://www.realtek.com.tw/downloads...n=4&DownTypeID=3&GetDown=false&Downloads=true

asim,
If Memtest86+ when run from a CD shows the ram is bad, then the ram is bad.

The ram MUST be replaced in order to proceed in a meaningful fashion.

Understood, I'll post an update if the replacement ram doesn't solve my problem. And I'm installing that driver as I'm typing this. Thanks for the assistance you two! ^^
