Can BSODs Occur With Installation Of Different RAM Sticks
Nov 20, 2012
I've been getting BSODs ever since I installed a RAM stick which differed from the other in my Inspiron 1420. I had to install a new one since the other no longer worked. The two RAM sticks differ from each other as I don't believe they are the same brand.
One is by PNY Electronics at 2048 megabytes with a bandwidth of 400MHz The other is by Hyundai Electronics at 1024 megabytes with a bandwidth of 333 MHz. They are both DDR2. I'm just wondering if this could be the cause of the BSODs I've been getting. The most recent BSODs are the IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL with the driver ntoskrnl.exe and the number 0x0000000a.
I've heard that if you can identify the driver then there could be an option of disabling or uninstalling that driver to stop the BSODs.
I've been experiencing a number of BSOD's in the past 2 days. Up until then my computer has been working nice and dandy. You'll find attached my log, etc all zipped up.

when I'm working on my computer suddenly blue screen appears and then it automatically restart when I'm check it shows that c:windowsMinidump�81612-10405-04.dmp c:useradminAppDataLocalTempWer-20420-0.sysdata.xml.
I have three ram sticks. One, I had replaced because it had been scanned as being faulty. After a while I began to have the same problems as when I still had the ram stick, so I I took out one to see how it worked, and it was fine, so I assumed the one I had taken out was faulty as well, but later I found it to be a little suspicious, so I tested the second bad one in the slot that my good one had been in and it worked. Then I tried the good one in the slot that the bad ones had been in and that's when I had a problem, so it appears my ram stick slot is the problem. Is there a way to find real proof ?
I've got 2 new sticks of ram from a friend for free. These are the two sticks Newegg.com - A-DATA Gaming Series 2GB 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory Model AX3U1600GB2G9-CG The sticks i currently have are this Newegg.com - A-DATA XPG Gaming Series v2.0 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory Model AX3U1600GB2G9-DG2 I know you shouldn't mix ram but the sticks are almost identical will there be issues if I run two of reach in one machine?
About 3 weeks ago I put 4 2gb sticks of RAM in my machine. Got them from Crucial.com. (I'd had 2gbs before but took those out and gave them away so the 4 new ones would all match.) So here I am with 8gbs and it was fabulous. Right off the bat not only my CS4 but also my Photoshop7 both recognized the 8gbs and everything just flew.
Then a few days ago I noticed that PS7 was sluggish and, sure enough, when I checked I saw that it was only seeing 2gbs again. I know PS7 isn't even supposed to see it but it did and it was great.
The CS4 is still fine but I just don't like it as well as 7, call me crazy but there it is.
Does anybody know how I can get 7 to see the 8gbs again. I have no problem going into the registry but have no clue where to go. I have spent days searching for an answer but haven't found it.
I did a fresh install of Win 7 Pro 64 bit a few days ago. Everything seemed ok and there were no hiccups during the install.My problem is when I plug in a USB stick, it doesn't show up in "my computer". First I thought it a bad stick, but I have tried 3 and none work. When I plug it in, I hear the new hardware noise and window pops up saying found new hardware, but then it fails to load it. Device manager accurately names the stick, but windows can't find a driver for it.All my other USB devices work: mouse, keyboard, 2 printers, digital camera, just not USB storage sticks.
I initially fixed my first string of BSODs due to my ram sticks being in the wrongs slots. That fixed it for about 3 months. But I just recently bought a new video card. GeForce GTX560ti. My older card being ati radeon 4850. I updated my drivers the other night to a beta driver for the Battlefield 3 beta. That is when I noticed 2 BSODs in 1 day. I'm attaching my mini dump folder in hopes that maybe I can find some technical support as I am not the most knowledgeable on computers
I generally have pretty long File names on files on my pc. Not sure what the limit in digits is, but generally no problem. But, if I try to download many of these with a particularly long file name to a USB memory stick, it comes back with an error MSG. That the name is too long. But, it wasn't too long on my pc. Why is this happening ?
I have been unable to get Windows to accept a memory upgrade. I want to increase my memory from 4Gig to 8Gig (ie 2 sticks of 2Gig, to 4 sticks of 2 Gig). Windows hangs with all 4 sticks installed, but boots normally with only 3 sticks installed ?
It seems that the BIOS is happy to accept 4 sticks x 2Gig ... but Windows hangs: With all 4 sticks installed The BIOS will boot and the Windows boot screen appears (the four star animation) ... and then the system hangs !
By a process of elimination, I have been able to deduce that none of the individual sticks, or the individual slots are faulty: I can use any combination of 3 sticks in any combination of the four available slots, and it will boot OK and show 12 Gig of memory available.
I have checked that all 4 memory sticks are identical (Corsair Vengeance 1600mhz DDR3), and I have downloaded and installed the latest BIOS ... but the problem persists.
I note that the 2 original memory sticks are labelled V.2.12 and the second pair are labelled V.3.19, but I also note that they are happy running together as long as I only use 3 sticks (any 3 sticks !). The problem only arises when I try to use all 4 !
Mouse keeps sticking in margins. Cant get out of it. Windows 7. Red light coming on at top of mouse pad and an icon on screen with a hand and red diagonal line through it.
I have been getting BSODs for awhile now unfortunately. At first I thought it was my power supply not supplying enough power anymore because it's 2+ years old and has been through many builds.Well, I ran Memtest last night just to be sure, and after waking up 8 hours later, Memtest had reported over 450+ errors, this was with BOTH ram sticks inserted / being tested.My timings were set as they should be (9-9-9-24-2t command rate and 1.5v DRAM voltage).I'm currently testing 1 stick at a time to see if the errors pop up on one stick only. Now, in the BIOS, I have the timings set to 9-9-9-24-2t command rate, 1.5v DRAM voltage, but in Memtest it says: CAS: 6-6-6-20 / Single Channel (when testing one stick only)
how do I prevent users from running executabels from usb sticks? I do want them to save and read files from the usb sticks, but not any executable files such as bat, exe, vbs etc.
trying to solve a problem on a dell inspiron n5010 running windows 7 when you switch it on it goes to the black boot up screen and you are given these options Launch startup repair(recomended) start windows normally
if i select start windows normally it goes to the windows start up logo but eventually freezes then crash to a blue screen than goes off immediatley before i can read the info on screen if i select the launch start up repair it goes to a blue screen with some small pics of leaves on and stays there and does nothing
Startup Repair Infinite Loop Recovery i have read this but i dont even get the grey option boxes just that blue screen background
When I move an object on my desktop (file, window etcetera) the mouse pointer 'sticks' to the object and has to be clicked to release it. I've looked settings but haven't seen a setting that would resolve this.
I just got a brand new mobo, AsRock h55M-LE. I got KHX1600C9D3K2/8GX (2x4GB) 1600MHz DDR3 CL9 XMP memory sticks. When I try to boot up with one stick which is in slot DDR-B, the comp works. If I put another stick in DDR-A, comp boots up for 5-7 seconds and reboots. I use only one stick in DDR-A it's gonna be same error. So atm only DDR-B with one stick works.I tried to change timings and voltage in BIOS and result was this:9-9-9-27, dram volt 1,65, vtt auto and both sticks in boots up for 5-7 secs and reboots (there's no pic in monitor etc)9-9-9-27, dram volt 1,65, vtt auto and one stick in everything works.9-9-9-25, dram volt 1.5, vtt auto and two sticks in comp boots and stays on but there is no pic in monitor or any light on keyboard etc..9-9-9-25, dram volt 1.5, vtt auto and one stick in everything works. And also tried to change dram frequence but it's the same with all.I have tried both sticks and they both work.
Twitter not displaying correctly, fonts are all garbled like sticks. I have tried in firefox, IE9 and Chrome. It is unreadable in all browsers and I cannot find a fix anywhere. For Character Encoding I have all browsers set to Unicode (UTF-8) as do not recall ever changing them to anything else or seeing this problem before. All other sites show correctly. So I really am stumped. If you need my twitter page or could go see if it looks normal on your computer the address is Robbo (@aussiecriminals) on Twitter?
have been struggling with my system taking 2-3 minutes to find drivers for any memory stick I plug in to any of 3 USB ports on my Acer 1810T. When the process finally completes, the transfer speeds are about 1MB/s or less.Another (possibly related?) problem is when I insert any SD card in the dedicated slot for the first time, everything is fine. Once I remove and either re-insert (or insert a different card), nothing appears. I get a message saying "process is already in memory". I have to reboot to get things working again.
I have been having multiple BSOD issues mostly using IE: -Used memtest86 for 9 passes - no issues -Ran sfc scannow (had to do it in safe mode) - no issues
I thought I had all my problems worked out. This is not the case. My computer was working fine. I installed most of my programs, surfin the web, doing what I do on my computers. So I shut it down for the night.
I turn it on the next day. BSOD. The first BSOD doesn't even have an error listed.
This BSOD happens a couple times.
Then I get a different BSOD saying APC_INDEX_MISMATCH. This one only shows up one time.
Then I get another saying SYSTEM_SERVICE_EXCEPTION. But I've already rolled back my ATI drivers to their original state. I try to run chkdsk /f but everytime the computer restarts it just goes back to the log in window, without running chkdsk.
I have an HP Elitebook 2530p with Windows 7 Professional 64-bit, and I keep getting a BSOD with the error message "DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL".
The first thing I did was do a memory and hard drive test. Unfortunately, both came up clean. Then I updated my sound, video, networking, webcam, extra button drivers and BIOS. Still getting them.
Any other solutions I should try or information I should provide?
So I've been experiencing persistent BSODs on my PC for the last few days now. I can't recall anything being changed in that time to warrant the sudden appearance. So far I've counted 5 in the last 2 days. I've googled the BCCodes (d1) but just get a very vague idea of what I'm looking for.I've included the relevant .dmp and my system details.
I am getting random blue screens all the time for different errors including win32k.sys and memory management. BSODs also randomly occur on bootup as well. I can't install Win7 SP1 because it will crash and cause a BSOD. I have a Dell Studio Laptop 1535 with 4 gigs of ram: Radeon HD 4300 Series graphics card Dual Intel 5750 2.0 GHz processor Windows 7 Ultimate 32bit This is not the original OS installed (Windows Vista 32bit was the original OS)
these crashes are somehow related to power management. everything is fine until the machine turns off display, at which point weird things start happening. first it was constant usb device added/removed sounds. so i tinkered around with power options, making sure to disable any sort of low-power mode aside from turning off display. since then ive changed settings back and forth and found the machine in various weird states, sometimes bsod, sometimes recoverable.the laptop is a dell e6420 and os w7pro.
Sometimes it's after 2 hours of playing, sometimes just few minutes. Also had a BSOD today while I was watching a movie in the other room, so I wasn't doing anything on the computer.
Here's my specs
Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-2500K CPU @ 3.30GHz Windows 7 64-Bit (Microsoft Windows 7 Service Pack 1 (build 7601), 64-bit) AMD Radeon HD 6800 Series 8G of ram (Ripjaw) ASUS P8P67 LE
Bought this 2-3 months ago (Separated hardwares, built it myself)
Just wondering if anyone else experienced BSODs trying to configure XP Mode. It was a brand new, clean installation of Windows 7 Build 7100 less than 10 minutes old.
I recently put together a computer build on Dec. 19th.(Specs below). I can't remember when exactly it started but from what I can remember it's been going on since day 1. I thought it was a driver issue at first but that doesn't seem to be the case. I get BSOD's when idle, browsing the web and playing any games.

I have a MSI GT725-212 Laptop and I get BSOD’s more than 5x every day.
I bought the computer with Vista 32-bit installed and had absolute no problems, then I upgraded to Win7 Enterprise (the 90 Day trial) and started having a lot of BSOD’s, I thought it was because of some driver which weren’t installed, I searched them in 64-bit and installed them. Device manager shows out of the Teredo Tunneling Pseudo-Interface no problems.
Even then I had BSOD’s very often. Yesterday installed I Win7 Pro 64-bit (Formatted C: where the OS was but D: remained unchanged). I had the same devices with problems (IR receiver and Memory Card slot), I installed the 64-bit drivers and the device manager didn’t complaint any more out of the Teredo Tunneling Pseudo-Intefase (In both cases I disabled these.). Even with the new Win7 Versions I remain having the BOSD’s and I don’t know what else to do.

I seem to be getting a whole bunch of blue screens of deaths. I am not really sure now to problem solve it. They seemed to all start after a few power outages and, because I am a dummy, I didn't have a UPS and things just kind of got killed. The errors that I am getting are PFN_List_Corrupt ; IRQL_Not_less_or_equal ; and Memory_Management.
