I returned the whole system and went to a better gaming system store and got setup with an intel 6600k and a gtx 970. This one is liquid cooled though and I got better pricing. Everything is working out great. On the old system i was told I had very cheap PSU, RAM and a shitty ASrock version...

The Microsoft specialist who came to my house once before will be here on Saturday again. He has more years experience with these issues than I've been alive. He will be installing windows 10 and I will buy a 3rd set of ram just in case for when he gets here to try. It's pretty cheap. If he...

I will give that a try this time. This is a different brand of ram than the first time. Now i just got a BAD_POOL_HEADER bluescreen (x19) I've never seen this one before. Should I just give up on this thing or what now it wont even turn on again and finally it came back on... after...

the ram was just replaced 2 days ago. this is ridiculous. There are so many suggestion on things to try.. Try updating the BIOS, try re-seating the ram, try one stick at a time, try upping the volatage. Im searching error 0x0000001a but the parameter1, parameter2 etc are always different. The...

The new 750W Antec TRUEPOWER supply finally came in today, and I switched the ram a few days ago as well. This SHOULD have fixed a few of the problems. I just received the 1A bluescreen again. Please tell me this is just the windows 7 AHCI problem and not hardware.. This is memory management...

nevermind i found my ram.. It's so cheap. only 31 dollars each. Is this cheap kingstom ram going to be a problem? Kingston ValueRAM 8GB 288-Pin DDR4 SDRAM DDR4 2133 (PC4 17000) Desktop Memory Model KVR21N15S8/8...

*Ignore this post** This ram in the link seems to be the same except the end of the model is slightly different. Whenever i search mine in, only laptop ram comes up but my ram certainly isnt laptop ram. Maybe the package is just wrong.. Its value ram anyway, of course. The model for the one in...

Hey Kemical. Sorry for taking so long to give you an update. I had a very intelligent man come to my house yesterday who is a certified microsoft specialist or something. Anyway, he seemed to know his stuff and he pointed out all the issues. He said the same thing that the retail plus power...

It finally turned on by physically flipping the switch in the back I think. I had tried a few other things but I didn't think it was coming back. Now i have a 4th blue screen. I just booted to safe mode long enough to get the new minidump file and now I will be waiting for the specialist...

I uninstalled kaspersky to start and ran archeage for most of the day. I had changed a few graphic settings and noticed textures were starting to get blury so I was going to restart the game. As soon as i exited the game i blue screened and now the computer wont even turn on. I wish I took a...

Last night I was doing a chkdsk on my SSD drive where everything is and it bluescreened during this process. Hopefully this wouldn't harm the hardware. I have a certified Microsoft professional coming to my house tomorrow who offers warranty for 3 months. He probably possesses knowledge...

My thoughts are... I spent over two thousand dollars on a computer that had a bunch of faulty hard ware or problems. Something new should work like new or he should fix it, but he isnt doing that. I will post back when I actually have some technical information rather than whining :P I will...

That is annoying because at the VERY start there was only one bluescreen.. and he found out windows was corrupted or something(so he said) so he put a new motherboard in and installed the OS instead of reformatting the old one. Thing kept working fine at the shop, I would come home and get blue...
