I've contacted Valve asking them to take a look at the dump and see if it's something to do with Steam. Otherwise - I have uninstalled Steam, and MoH which I JUST bought 2 days ago. Any ideas? Does it seem like Steam doesnt like 8gb of memory? Or SLI enabled on a non SLI board? I used the SLI with 2x GTS450 for a loooong time before this started crashing. Seems to be Steam - but maybe I'm missing something. RAM is good - I even contacted Corsair and asked them about what I should do. They said that I can try boosting some voltage, since my board may not be delivering the required amount. Still crash, voltage was okay but I gave it a little boost to try it. The Phenom 2 x4 I'm using passes all stress tests, and 3D Mark 11 and 06 will run straight through no problem. Sound drivers are fine.


Any ideas? :) TYVM
 


Solution
It might be quite helpful looking at your recent crash dumps, as well as at your memory settings.

1. C:\Windows\Minidump
2. Link Removed

I don't think Steam has much to do with your crashes, altough it's mentioned in the crash dump. It doesn't look like Steam has caused it.

As for 8Gb, I too have 8Gb and Steam runs fine.
