Recently I've been getting popup errors that say: The instruction at 0x referenced memory at 0x The memory could not be read. Also, plenty of errors that read, Display drivers have crashed and recovered. In the past, I've blue screened while at the BIOS screen. I can run pretty well just doing...

Ok, your post makes a lot of sense. Thanks for the great help on the diagnostic. I'll see what I can fix. I just built a new computer for a friend (still sitting on my desk) and I could try swapping out his new RAM and see if that helps. 2 months ago I would have recommended BIOSTAR for...

Still having more errors. Lots of time's my computer will fail to start. Doesn't post anything, just blank screens. A few times it had to run a NTFS checker. Also windows failed to load errors that then it tries to repair startup errors. Essentially everything that was happening before...

Last couple of days I've been having problems again. Blue screens and the computer fails to boot up or show an image on startup.

11 days without any problems until this BSOD. It may not even be related to my previous problems. I'm pretty sure this was caused by the display drivers. About a minute before it crashed the screen flashed and refreshed and then I got a notification saying the display driver had crashed...

Sure thing. I can't believe this flagrant problem was so easily fixed. Almost a week now with no problems.

Actually, I've only crashed once since I flashed the BIOS. I've run 3 days straight with no crashes which is a big improvement. It puzzles me because that BSOD I got made it appear as if the problem hadn't been fixed.

It appears at least the BIOS update fixed startup issues for now. I'm still getting BSOD's. Everything points to it being the motherboard. I'll try reinstalling the components. I've also opened a support line with the manufacture.

Ok, I flashed a newer version of my BIOS. We'll see if this helps.

All the HD tests and diagnostics I've run already found nothing wrong. HDD scan and HD tune ran with nothing found wrong again. It must be the motherboard or BIOS. This would explain the problems I have. I will be flashing BIOS very soon. Hopefully this solves everything. Where do I find...

I'm scared to flash the BIOS because of how often the crashes are. The computer crashes frequently on startup and it is rare to keep the computer running for very long without a crash. Crashing while flashing the BIOS ruins the motherboard right? Is there a good way to deal with this?

I ran the computer with the video card removed and using on board graphics. Still having problems. Now I'm having terrible errors trying to startup the computer. Still a lot of blank/black screens. Many times the computer will crash and give a black screen. In Event Viewer I found an...

Ran memtest86 X10 with no errors. HD diagnostics ran and found nothing wrong. PassMark/HDDScan showed everything OK. I had a BSOD where the entire screen went blue with no error messages. Lots of times when I boot up, nothing will happen. Computer appears to be on but blank screens...

Today I blue screened and afterward it took a long time to reboot. Once Windows loaded BSOD again. I think it also BSOD at the login page too. Once I restarted it failed to load windows. Gave the options of start windows normally or start system repair. Windows wouldn't start normally...

Re: Re: BSODs after system restore I think I have all the RAM settings proper now. I've been running so far with no errors since then.
