Hi everyone,

I've been getting a lot of BSODs lately, on my relatively new computer. At first I thought it might be faulty RAM, and ran Memtest, which showed a failure in one of the sticks (i had 3 x 2gb DDR3 RAM). I took out one stick, and ran memtest again, and it showed no errors after 10 passes, so I thought that would solve my problem. I reformatted my PC after that, and it ran fine for a few days, but recently its started crashing again. Sometimes Windows will just plain fail to start, or sometimes I'll get hit with a BSOD 5 mins or so after the PC has booted up.

I'm actually running ubuntu off the cd right now, cos I didn't want my PC crashing over and over.

I've attached the minidump files, hoping you guys can shed some light.

Memory is definitely set unwell in the bios.

It needs to be set at 667 MHz with 9-9-9-24 timings.

Instead you have it at this now, which is bad: 533 MHz 8-8-8-20

Look in your motherboard manual if you need help how to set it up, or contact GSKILL or your motherboard manufacturer.

Sometimes you have to just bite the bullet.

Nothing lasts forever, take my hair for example... :)
