Hi everybody,
I'm having a problem with a new computer I bought with Windows 7 (64bit) installed. At seemingly random points in time it will crash on me completely. I've managed to find out from a dumpfile that the likely cause of this problem is something called Rdyboost.sys

I've managed to find it listed as a driver in Windows/System32. Apart from that though I'm not sure how to find it, and was wondering if somebody could help me find any other parts of Rdyboost.sys that are located on my system. Also I'd appreciate it if somebody could let me know how to disable or delete Rdyboost.sys so that it doesn't cause my PC to crash anymore.

Many Thanks.
Shar.
 

Solution
Unfortunately I cannot find Rdyboost.sys in the Services list, which is one of the reasons I asked for help on these forums. Can anybody provide me with an idea of where I can find Rdyboost.sys apart from in the Windows/system32/drivers file? Also is it safe to simply delete this?

1. Try several times this: CP > Admin > Services > Disable Superfetch and then reenable it > Rebooot and see if it helps. If it doesn't help, then try:


2. Start > Standard > Command Prompt > sc config rdyboost error=ignore

Careful here, for informative purpose only (!!!):

"sc rdyboost" will show you list of options for the readyboost service

nop, mine is legal :) it's that update version, that was for that cheap price for legal win xp/vista owners :)
will check that link
 

oh yea :D I just yesterday went with ccleaner :D I wanted to clean my pc :D that was before I got here :D

and with that dump activation, i have not Small memory dump (64k) but I had Kernel memory dump on
 

looks like I have some other random crash, not smth with that rdyboost.sys
mine crash even dont make that minidump :( today 2 freezes :(
 

The ram timings and voltage seems to be funky with DDR3 especially 1333 mhz which needs precise manufacturer voltages and timings to run stable. It seems the mainboard manufacturers energy savings "cool and quiet ect." which enables processors and graphics and other hardware to reduce voltage when not needed. This seems to be why these ram voltages need to be set manually as they are set to auto which reduces the voltages in sleep mode or in light use,either way voltage fluctuation or lack of voltage to the ram is the cause of the instability. Most manucturers list ram timings on the ram as well as voltage. The Bios is another story, don't attempt any voltage changes without proper knowledge of Bios and mainboard installation.Set ram timings and voltage test with memtest.Check timings in CPUZ.
Peace out.
