Hi and welcome

these crashes were all caused by memory problems.

I would download memtestx86 and run it for 5 passes
run a system file check type cmd in search>right click and run as an admin>
sfc /scannow

If you are overclocking STOP

Let us know the results


Ken J+[/QUOTE]


I had another BSOD today. IRQ less than equal or something. Here is the result. hope this can help.

I think this BSOd answers my question about my sucessfull memtest anyway. Cant wait to receive my new ram. At the same time, I'm still unsure of what is causing the problem and it is really pissing me off !

Thanks again, and again, and again !

PS : here is also the minidump files of my bluescreen of last saturday !


Looks like something did not worked with the quote haha sorry !

 

[ickymay]

same result memory corruption and hardware error

 

[usasma]

Typically scattered errors are a result of hardware problems. This set is 2 different errors - and your previous dumps were scattered all over the place also.

Try this free video stress test: FurMark: Graphics Card Stability and Stress Test, OpenGL Benchmark and GPU Temperature | oZone3D.Net
Try this free stress test: Free Software - GIMPS

If they don't crash/disrupt the system, then try these tests (yes, I know you've run the Memtest before):
Memory Diagnostics (read the details at the link)
HD Diagnostic (read the details at the link)

If that doesn't isolate the hardware problem, then try this: Hardware Troubleshooting Via System Stripdown

Here's a summary of the last 2 BSOD's:

Thanks for your info. Will the first test program work on windows 7 x64 ? It said only xp and vista 32-bit...

 

[usasma]

It works just fine on my 64 bit Windows 7 (just tried it).

 

[ManOwar2]

OK thanks for the info.

Do you think my new ram coming in can eventually fix my problem ? Since memtest failed 3 times on 4, I'm almost convince my memory is faulty or incompatible. I must admit it would make the situation much more easier for me actually. But well..

Here is the daily BSOD.

Looks like it's always the same coming back...is it ?

 

[usasma]

With BSOD's there are sometimes more than one problem. So, we troubleshoot the problems as they come.

From what I've seen, the RAM replacement will help you out - and will certainly decrease if not eliminate the BSOD's. Any failure of a RAM test is suggestive of a hardware problem - either the RAM itself or the slots on the motherboard.

All right, quite clear enough for me then. It's a confirmation of what I'm thinking that I was looking for.

I'll wait my modules, I'll format and clean install.

Then I'll see what happen. if others BSOD come in, I will immediately starts the testings.

I may end up returning the mobo if problems persists.

My graphic card worked pretty fine on my other system, with the same CPU. So I know for sure that thoses drives are not faulty.

MY new components were mostly the ram, the HD and the mobo.

I will post results saturday, probably.

Thanks again for your time.

 

[ManOwar2]

Received Mushkin ram today.

Installed it right away. Still have not formated or fresh install. I wanted at least to make sure my system would boot.

Asus and Mushkin both told me this ram would run perfectly in my system.

Hopefully, everything will work fine. I'll keep you posted.


This was the most long day since a long time for me. I was at job at 12:00 when the ram came in. I had to finish at 9:00 pm today. No need to tell you I could not wait to install it and have my system booting up.

At least now it's done, just need to wait and hope it wont crash again... I'm usually not really a believer, but now I'm praying !

 

[ManOwar2]

I have noticed that my virtual memory is managed by the system and that it is set to the same ammount of ram that I have.

Is it normal ?

 

[ickymay]

Is it normal ?

yes that's not unusual and when you have large amounts of physical ram your pagefile rarely gets used and windows does a decent job of managing the size, the normal recommendation is 1.5 times the amount of RAM

keep us posted if this new ram has cured your problem , I have my fingers crossed for you

It's been running for 15 hours now, with no BSOd and the most importants things,

0 program failures. Wich did not happen to me since I have this set up installed. I usually had 5 to 10 explorer/msn/other software crashing constantly.

But now everything is faster, smooth, and all my temps on my system went down as soon as the Mushkin was installed.

This looks good, I hope so much this solved my problem.

A strange thing I noticed thought, on the cpu support list of my mobo my q6600 does not appear only the q6700. Wich is kinda lame, cause I'm using it right now. Asus told me should not be an issue ''normally'' and on the asus forum people are using this cpu (q6660) with the mobo (P5E3 PRO) without any trouble. I also have the last version of the mobo and it more compatible with both cpu and ram I have been told on the asus forum.

I have my finger crossed too

Thanks again, and thanks Ickymay, you've been really helpfull too, always replying on my thread and always the first one to answers


My PC has been running for 24 hours now with no single crash, no BSOD, no slow down. I feel some stability for the first time on my new system.

I think my mobo does really like those qvl ram !

Thanks )

I think it really did stabilize my system. Also, I found that event viewer log. I was also able to fix little issues with basics research on each events reported that I saw accompanied of an error msg.

But as soon as I put that new ram in...my PC has been running so smooth now. My games runs betters, my internet load faster, my msn stopped crashing randomly. I did not thought it was ram related so I assumed it was windows 7x64, but I'm just surprise to see it was not the case !!!
I think I should have mentionned thoses tons of apps crash before!

My mobo does really like thoses QVL mushkins

 

[ManOwar2]

After a bit more than 7 days having my new ram installed, I had no crash. In the last seven days I've done everything I can to push my pc.

Not a single application failure since then...and of course NO BSOD !

Conclusion is, I can confirm that my problem was only ram related. Either bad ram or incompatible ram.


Thanks to everyone for the help provided. I've learned lot, hope you guys could learn something out of that... Hope this thread can also help others who have problem with their ram's :

 

[ManOwar2]

Still no BSOD for me. MC pc is now stable. I've attained reliability score of 10 in windows 7. 1 vlc.exe failed and made it drop a bit but nothing since then. I guess I should not have tried to play realplayer files with vlc. lol

I guess anyone experiencing BSOD that looks like mine should seriously consider looking for ram problem !!!
