BSOD's?


Recommended Posts

***PLEASE read everything that i say carefully to avoid misunderstandings....thanks

ok so i have an ASUS M4A79T deluxe and i ran 3 sticks of patriot viper ram (3x2GB). this ram is rated at 1600 and 1.65v

i recently added a 4gb stick of Corsair XMS ram to my setup and now i hav 10gb of ram.

this ram is rated at 1333 mhz and 1.5v

i am currently running all 4 sticks at 1333 mhz at 1.5v

the 3 viper sticks can run 1600 at 1.5v fine as well as i tested it

~~~currently i have operating system instabilities such random "Windows Desktop Gadgets has stopped working" or "windows desktop manager has stopped working messages"

i also get BSOD's that say i have to check for hard drive space even though i have over 200GB free in my partition

minidump files are here:

the BSOD messages i have been getting seem to be different every time

i did in fact run the Prime95 memory test as well as MemTestx86 as well as the Windows Memory test (mcshed.exe or something!?) for hours on end with no problems whatsoever. the windows memory test didn't detect anything.

one more thing is that the nvidia control panel freezes up every time i try to open it so i tried to update that driver with no success of fixing that issue but i dont know if the bsod's are caused by the video drivers.

--------------------------------

since taking out/returning the RAM is not possible i would like a straightforward solution to my problem please.

thanks in advance

I don't think you opening statement is very encouraging to people to may have considered helping you, however:

You don't reveal the Windows version you are using. Whichever it is, 10GB seems to me to be overkill. Remember that 4GB on a 32 bit machine is the maximum that is useful.

Another point is that RAM should preferably be matched but certainly of the same type, I notice you have two distinct speeds and ratings now installed. I've had computers that failed to function due to having RAM sticks merely of different brands.

Without reading what the memory dump say I can pretty much guarantee that it most definitely is the different types of Ram and the amount of Ram you have installed. Yes Windows 7 X64 can support far much more Ram than 10 GB however you need the hardware to support all that extra Ram to be able to run without any issues.

Running memory tests isn't a case of just letting it do one pass, to get a fairly true test you need to run it several times thoroughly.

since taking out/returning the RAM is not possible i would like a straightforward solution to my problem please.

Well there is no straight forward answer to what you are asking, apart from build or purchase a computer that will have all the requirements that you need because your system obviously doesn't like running all that Ram/Different types of Ram at that... It is also possible that if your graphics is intergrated then the Ram will also affect it's performance too.... if it's not intergrated then that is highly unlikey and it's is probably a driver or software issue.

Also It would be nice to see the full system set up specification that you have too and what is it being used for ;-)

One more thing... if by any chance you have a X86 version of windows, which I would find it hard to believe then your dead in the water ;-)

So it seems this is a hardware confliction issue.
