April 8, 201016 yr I recently had similar problems with random BSOD and flaky web browser behavior that ended up being fixed by changing BIOS RAM speed timing settings. Whether your get errors with memtest or not, double check to make sure your BIOS settings are correct for the RAM you are using.Cheers and Regards
April 8, 201016 yr Author I don't think I have any mmemory dumps, I changed it to minidumps because that seemed more useful to me particularly since I have a poor internet connection and don't want to upload such a big file.The RAM is 2 x 2GB Kingston DDR2 800 but they are mismatched and have different timings so the bios says that they are 667
April 9, 201016 yr Author OK it appears to have just BSODed on me withSTOP: x000000F4 (0x0000000000000003,OxFFFFFA80047ECAA0,0xFFFFFA80047ECD80,0xFFFFF80001B87240).Collecting data for crash dump ...Initializing disk for crash dump ...Physical memory dump FAILED with status 0xC000009D.So there should be a minidmp that I can look at and show you right?Memtest time
April 10, 201016 yr Author Well Memtest had 10 passes and no errors although that was with both sticks of RAM,I'm guessing that the memory dump didn't get created cause I can't find it.I'm starting to wonder if I have a software problem and I really regret my laziness I should have actually done some proper partitioning.

April 13, 201016 yr Is a new install a good idea or not?Yes, you should have done that before dropping this topic in the hardware section .
April 13, 201016 yr Author True I probably should have but I was sure it was a hardware problem for some reason.Afterall windows installs don't usually have a habit of dying on me, but repartitioning would be a good idea anyway.
April 28, 201016 yr Author So it appears it really was a driver problem because I have had no BSODs since reinstalling
