New PC - Occasional blue screen

[5./JG27.Farber]

No wolf rider.

OK I took one stick of ramm out, PC booted ok. So I put the other stick in on its on and got loads of errors on start up...

So I took the ram back to the shop and they exchanged it. Came home, put the new ramm in with the "good" old one and it BSOD'd before it even booted.

Took it out, booted...

I think my OS might now be corrupt so I guess I will once again have to format the HD

Its working like a charm now. New ram and not one problem since!

Thanks to everyone - especially Raggz who decoded the error codes for me!

Cheers guys!

Good to hear that the problem got fixed. Glad i could help
Running mem test doesn't always catch bad ram sticks. The best way is to try out the sticks one by one.

Yes that's good advice and glad the OP got it sorted.

Memtest is good, but the last time i tried it on an old P4 Northwood chip build it was seeing mem errors that were actually for a CPU cache memory, probably the latest versions of mem test can see past that though.

I thought it was his ram though.
