Random BSODs

[kainzero]

Hi everyone,

I've been having a lot of random BSODs lately and I don't know what's causing them. The symptoms were very similar to when I had BSODs in XP (Firefox randomly crashing, programs malfunctioning for no reason like Aero/Steam, a certain game wouldn't install) but I fixed that by running memtest, isolating the bad RAM, and replacing it.

This time, I ran memtest and all the RAM came out okay. At least, I think I ran memtest correctly; I left all the RAM in, let it run overnight, and no errors were reported. I would expect that if one of them was bad I would get an error.

The problem seems to manifest itself mostly when I run foobar2000 for a while, although it's not exactly proven. I've attached the event logs.

Thanks for your help! =)

Hi these crashes were caused by memory.

I would download memtestx86 and run for 5 passes
run a system file check
type cmd in search>right click and run as admin>SFC /SCANNOW
