Maleko Posted December 19, 2007 Author Posted December 19, 2007 (edited) I wanna scream...lolWatching a film....near the end...yep, blue screen...Event viewer: 0x00000024So, changed SATA cables...reboot within 5 mins of being back in windows, blue screenEvent viewer: 0x1000000aThis time, removed all PCI cards (sound card and USB expansion card), rebooted, same again...Event viewer: 0x00000024Removed USB sound card, yep, after a reboot etc, blue screen...Event viewer: 0x100000bePlugged everthing back in, again after login, blue screen...Event viewer: 0x0000050This time I have removed one stick of memory, so far been logged in for 10/15 mins...but as stated before, these bsod can be VERY random.If i get blue screens, ill take this stick of ram out, put the other in. If that doesnt help, i'lll get some ram from work which I know is fine, and swop it, to see if thats helps.If that doesnt help....down to either Mainboard or CPU. Can't be graphics card as it did before with my old card, unless its the graphics port, which means motherboard.Either way im comming to a bad end... Edited December 19, 2007 by Maleko
Tripredacus Posted December 20, 2007 Posted December 20, 2007 We got an x50 here a couple days ago on a system and it turned out to be the RAM.
jcarle Posted December 21, 2007 Posted December 21, 2007 Try manually setting the voltage, timings and speed for your memory. Some motherboards do not always detect performance memory correctly.
Maleko Posted December 21, 2007 Author Posted December 21, 2007 did that yesterday jcarle thinking the same thing, hehe.My memory was set to AUTO, and was setting memory to 3-4-4-10, should be 3-4-4-8so set to manual and put right timings in.I know that it tightened them, but its what the manufacture says, and so far so good.

Voltage has the biggest influence on stability.
Maleko Posted December 22, 2007 Author Posted December 22, 2007 voltage was fine as fair as im aware.ive just put 2 sticks of memory in from work, and has been fine, yes it bsod's on me again.was abel to watch an entire film! lolso looks liek im RMAing my ballistixs, then ebaying the replaced stuff...i aint goign ballistixs again, this would be the 3rd set to mess up on me
jcarle Posted December 23, 2007 Posted December 23, 2007 ive just put 2 sticks of memory in from work, and has been fine, yes it bsod's on me again.It BSODed with the Ballistix or the ram from work?

puntoMX Posted December 23, 2007 Posted December 23, 2007 So, you tested it very well? You are sure it’s the RAM?Any way, if it’s the RAM then get your self some GOOD RAM sticks, with lower voltage (2.5v, not 2.8v) and not over-the-edge sales talk of speed .
Maleko Posted December 23, 2007 Author Posted December 23, 2007 Well, had this stuff from work in, and has been totaly fine so far, watch movies, play games etc etc, no BSOD's.Going to get my ballistixs replaced under warrenty, then sell the replaced stuff, then get some different sticks.As its DDR, the only stuff i can find thats decent and not a stupid price is:http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct....&subcat=481Corsair 2GB DDR XMS3200C2PT TwinX (2x1GB) CAS2
puntoMX Posted December 23, 2007 Posted December 23, 2007 You must be nutz! Crucial 2GB (2x1GB) PC3200 CAS3 184pin DDR Memory Dual Channel Kit (CT2KIT12864Z40B)What about these? Spending so much money on an older system, you can buy almost 4GB for the 2GB you picked...People never learn, like buying an Opteron for home use . (No it doesn´t OC more)
Maleko Posted December 23, 2007 Author Posted December 23, 2007 (edited) like i said, dont think i plan to go with crucial again!nothing wrong in using an opteron for home use btw.btw, please dont patronize me by saying "people never learn", cheers. Edited December 23, 2007 by Maleko
