My Main Rig (See Sig) has been getting many random and violent BSODs lately and I dont know why. Windows told me to run Mem Test which I did and suposedly the Ram is fine but everything I look at within the system hints towards one bad stick of ram. My Page File useage is threw the roof even at desktop. In Speed Fan when getting System info I can only get one stick's information. Whenever I run any 3D app I see a violent crash. Only after setting BF2s settings to all Low am I able to play.
HELP ME OUT HERE!
 
Have you ran a virus scan with all the updates etc...

Also a spyware scan with the likes of Ad Aware and Spybot...

Excessive usage usually relates to tons of running processes
 
Try taking out one stick of ram and running that way.....then try the other also run memtest with one stick out.
 
Ultimate I shouldnt have to, I mean this is like my third fresh format and install of XP.

Erland I am on it. Will report results ASAP.
 
When you say that your pagefile usage is through the roof, how far into the roof is it?
 
Typicly full, so around 1.3GB. When my computer Boots I have my Razer HID, Catalyst Control Panel, Fraps, and Windows Blinds running. An ok amount but I should be using like 400 megs of physical ram.
 
Suggestions:

Remove Window Blinds
Remove Fraps
Install latest version of chipset drivers
Install latest version of Video drivers

What virus scanning software are you using?
 
I dont use any on that computer ATM its a Fresh install on a new HDD with no net Connection. Well, I updated it via windows update thats about it. My ram seems to be the issue. After 3 Hours Memtest has allready found 951 Errors on one of my corsair sticks of Ram.
Do you guys think everything is being caused by the ram?
I suppose its time for Two gigs now anyway.

Yes, everything could be caused RAM. If it is still under warranty--get it replaced!
 
Two years is a bit long, allthough Ive got no clue what Corsairs Warrenty is. I doubt it though.
 
OHHH :eek:
I thought their was a Reason I went Corsair, then agian most Ram Makers are probably Lifetime eh?
Anywho Now I just gotta check what type of Corsair Ram I have.
 
If that comp is not on the internet but happens to be a lan with a comp that is online, or was at one point, it could still get a worm just by being connected. Not that I think you have such a set-up, but it's just something to be aware of :)
 
Thanks for the concern but nah its alone, It still works fine enough for me to post on the [H] Thank god. Anyways I am going to take my ram out and see what my SN and Model Numbers are.
 
Heres a Question, my CMX512 3200C2PT doesnt have a seriel number on it.... Anyone RMA from Corsair before?
 
Can you post a pic? I think if you call them up they may ask you to send both your sticks back to them for a replacement before they send to you. I do not know if they do an advance replacement.
