Latest update..............I removed all the ram and began booting to memtest have eliminated all but a stick that tested bad on boot to memtest 2 times so for now I am running only 5 of the 6 sims and so far BSOD free the real test will be with the cold boot in the morning lets keep our fingers crossed!!!!! I will update after the cold boot...............

 

[CarlTR6]

Waiting for your update and hoping to hear no BSOD.

Today's update.....I cold booted directly to memtest this morning with all of the 5 "good" sims installed on the board this morning and let memtest make 3 full passes with no errors....................again today so far no BSOD..........the final test will be the normal cold boot to windows tomorrow.........looking godd so far!

 

[tktk88]

should have said looking good so far!

 

[CarlTR6]

That is good news; but I recommend that you run memtest for 5-7 passes. Three is many times not enough. I am glad it booted with no problems, though. Looking for your next report - and I hope it is a good one.

Thanks Carl I never got any errors from memtest except at cold boot and they showed up immediately..........with the one sim it failed everytime I booted to it cold.............after tomorrows normal cold boot I plan to follow up with a cold boot to memtest on Monday and let it run for at least 5 passes while I am at work..........but it is encouraging to say the least....also I can't tell you how much I appreciate all the help from you and the guys here..............

Bad RAM can most definitely crash a system. I hope that was the only problem and you are on your way to smooth computing.

 

[tktk88]

Well day 3 of the solution and we are BSOD free so far!! I am beginning to think we have it beat!!!

 

[CarlTR6]

That is wonderful news!! I surely hope it is history for you. You have done a good job of following suggestions and working this on your own. If you have no problem tomorrow, post back and let us know. Maybe we can mark this one as solved.

 

[tktk88]

Will do and thanks again for all your help and patience with this issue...........

 

[CarlTR6]

You are certainly welcome. That is what we are here for.

 

[tktk88]

Well the cold boot today went perfectly and memtest made 6 passes with no errors.......CyberPower is sending a replacement for the bad Ram life is good........thanks again for all your help!!!!

 

[CarlTR6]

I am delighted that you have found the problem and the solution! Great news. I hope the replacement RAM works perfectly! Let us know how your system is doing after you install the new RAM and maybe we can mark this one as solved.

 

[tktk88]

Thanks again......I will do a follow up post after getting the new Ram installed most likely by the time it arrives should be towards the end of the week........Its nice to be BSOD free!!!

 

[tktk88]

Just a follow up at this point I have been BSOD free since the last update......the new RAM has been shipped however they sent it UPS Ground from California so it doesn't arrive until the 18th...............will update after it is installed.........

 

[CarlTR6]

I am very glad you are BSOD free; and thank you for keeping us updated. I will wait until you install the new RAM before requesting this thread be marked as solved.

 

[tktk88]

Well all is good here no BSOD since last update computer still running fine.........the replacement RAM arrived today, however, they sent the wrong brand which doesnt match my exisiting Ram...I ahve read that exact matching Ram is important.......... so I have another call into them still waiting..........

 

[CarlTR6]

I do not recommend mixing brands of RAM. That is asking for problems. But it is certainly good to hear that you haven't had any more crashes.

Latest update still BSOD free however i am experiencing different amounts of Ram being detected off and on typically again at cold boot. I have 10 megs in the computer right now still waiting on the replacement Ram. Sometimes windows and the bios will see 2 or 6 meg of ram and not the whole 10 meg. Typicaly after a reboot or 2 and the computer being warm it detects all of the ram. CPU-z will always see all of the ram even if windows and the bios is showing less than the total of 10 that is installed
