At first I just thought it was an issue with cooling or something, where my applications such as firebird mozilla gaim and warcraft 3 would just crash randomly and frequently.



now i get this with a splinter cell demo ::


"applicaton error The instruction at 0x51b3b23 referenced memory at 0x00000000027. The memory could not be read.


Click on OK to terminate the program.

what is going on here ? is it my ram ? is my harddrive fucked up ?
 
Have you ever used memtest? Easy to rule out the RAM by running a few tests with it.

And you are a bit too vague describing your problem... Is this a new build, or was it working fine and it just started having problems?

Also, you mention at first you thought it was cooling, how did you rule that out? Did you check temps?
 
I concure with running memtest...


Also Check the following for overheating or perceived overheating:

- Is the heatsink correctly installed ?
--> Verify it is correctly installed.

- Is the heatsink filled with dust and crud ?
--> Clean with compressed air in a can.

- Is the heatsink fan operating ?
--> Replace defective fan with similar or better unit.

- Is the heatsink adequate for that application/CPU ?
--> Verify it meet the requirements for the CPU being used.
--> RETAIL heatsink? May require lapping and better TIM.

- Is thermal interface material used between heatsink and cpu ?
--> Verify it is used, and is applied according to the manufacturers guidelines.

- Is the TIM pad cover removed from heatsink before installation, if using supplied TIM pad ?
--> Remove the cover before installation, failure to do so will insulate the cpu from the heatsink.

- Is there adequate airflow or case ventialation ?
--> Verify airflow, add case fans if required.

- Is the Vcore set higher than specified by the manufacturer ?
--> Verify the Vcore is set to the manufacturers specification in the mainboards bios.

- Is the temperature read via the internal temperature diode. Is the tremperature read via the socket thermistor ?
--> Temperatures read at the diode can and will be higher than an external reading.

- Is the temperature sensor properly calibrated ?
--> Several board have this problem, check manufacturers bios revision history for calibration fix.

- Outside temperature high ?
--> If the external temperature is high, then the case fans will be drawing in hot air, especially during summer months.

Also monitor your power supply...if it's on it's way out then things get "funky"

I don't think there is enough crud on my insides to cause any problems. Just trust me, don't even worry about the cooling.


It has always been frequent for an application to crash. Except I just thought it was because it was overheating and now since its running at like 78 F I don't see what could be the problem besides maybe ram or harddrive or maybe software.
