Windows 7 Repeated BSODs even after reinstall

[Dodgie]

For a month I have been getting crash to desktops in Bad Company 2. I was playing Rift beta last week without problems. Sunday, with no changes to anything, I started getting BSODs. And crashes to desktop. And BSODs.

In the end I reinstalled Windows 7. Finally put it all back together, and played BC2. BSOD. And again.

Windows 7 64 bit, GeForce GTX4600 SC, 8G RAM, Trend Micro A/V (but I got BSODs erlier with it off) WD ShareSpace backup (but I get BSODs with it off). Power supply is a truepower 550W.

I've checked GPU temsp and stress tested (80 degrees stable one hour). CPU temps around 50 degrees under load. Ran the windows memtest (but not from CD).

CPUz and dump files attached.

I've exhausted my abilities. Help much appreciated

Welcome to the forums, Dodgie. Link Removed


First of all let's set your RAM right, DDR800Mhz 6-6-6-18 1.8v.
Bios > DRAM options

When done, re-attach CPU-Z memory snip and attach RamMon HTML report PassMark RAMMon - Identify RAM type, speed & memory timings.

Will do, thanks.

For info I did run MemTest from a USB stick last night for 8 hours - 692 errors all referring to 1287.7MB err bit 000000ff = but didn't know how to save a report.

Sorry, but I don't think I know how to do that. I went into the bios. There is no obvious DRAM settings entry. Only entry I found was in the ASUS Tweaker settings, which was set to 'auto'. I changed that to Manual, then changed DRAM frequency to 800Mhz, saved and rebooted. The PC would not go to BIOS. So i cleared the CMOS and rebooted OK, with the settings on 'auto' again. Maybe there was something else there I should have changed?

Did I say it was an ASUS m/b P5QSE?

Anyway, attached are the requested CPUz and RAMMon files - albeit without the DRAM frequency change

Thank you for the additional information,

That just means that something's wrong with the RAM. And I think I know what it is: you got 2 Kinston sticks and 2 GSkills -- won't work. Remove either Kingston's or GSkill's. Then ensure the right settings:

Kingston DDR800 5-5-5-18 1.8v
GSKILL DDR800 6-6-6-18 1.8v

Took Kingston memory out.

Changed BIOS settings to DDR800 6 6 6 18 1.8v

Ran CPUz and RAMMon - files attached.

Good now, GSKILLS 800Mhz 6-6-6-18.

 

[Dodgie]

Umm - not sure what you mean.

I have the GSkills in, running DDR800 6 6 6 18 1.8v

Played BC2 last two hours with NO crash to desktop and no BSOD. That's the longest time since this started. woohoo (and thanks)

Did you mean for me to try the same with only Kingston memory in? I guess that would confirm whether they are faulty or if it was the mix or whatever

That's what I mean literally, "Good now". Congratulations on setting your memory right.

Enjoy. ~o)
