Hey all, I've attached 4 minidumps. Can you please help troubleshoot this intermittent BSOD?
Hi Asharus,
Welcome to the 10blog.
The Nvidia Video driver has been flagged in a crash where the memory is usually the cause.
Because there are more crashes where the memory is possibly causing it please follow the instructions below.Diagnostic TestRAM TEST
Run MemTest86+to analyse your RAM. MemTest86+ - Test RAM - Windows 10 blogNote
MemTest86+ needs to be run for at least 8 passesfor conclusive results. Set it running before you go to bed and leave it overnight. We're looking for zeroerrors here. Even a single error will indicate RAM failure.
For more analyse, please read BSOD Posting Instructions
thank you. i shall run this tonight.
Keep us posted
well it looks like i'm getting failures on the first pass. what's the next step, take a stick out and run it again?
Find out if it is a stick (and which) or a slot
ok, it looks like i have 12gb total with pairs of 2gb sticks. i tried using 1 stick and 1 slot only but it wouldn't get past the POST.
i've run 8 passes through the first pair and there were no errors. i stuck another pair in the same slots before i left for work.
it may take some time to figure out which stick (or slot) i'm having issues with.
well i just looked at my mobo's manual and i figured out why it wouldnt POST with 1 stick. slot #1 is actually the 2nd slot over, and i apparently had the single stick in slot #2.
It turns out I have 2 bad RAM sticks. I've created an RMA for them, and currently running 8gb instead of 12gb while they are in transit. Hopefully this was the cause of my BSOD issues.
Hope so too, let me know if you get any BSOD
