    I'll try that but I don't think it'll work, brb.

    If the bios settings don't fix it, you will probably have to replace the memory or at least reinstall it by swapping module positions... Lastly, the memory might be the wrong type for the motherboard. Is it an ASUS motherboard?
  3. Stonerose92 Newcomer, in training Posts: 58

    Just loaded defaults, made no difference.
  4. Stonerose92 Newcomer, in training Posts: 58

    Nope my motherboard is a Intel D945GCL (LGA 775).
  5. Tmagic650 TS Ambassador Posts: 18,731   +62

    Okay, what are the memory types and speeds?

    Raise the memory voltages just a notch or 2 above 1.80 volts
  8. Stonerose92 Newcomer, in training Posts: 58

    how do i do that? i'm not sure i have the option in my bios
  9. Tmagic650 TS Ambassador Posts: 18,731   +62

    "how do i do that?"

    I bet you do have the option to change the memory voltage. Look in the bios and instead of the memory settings being set to automatic, change it to manual and look for memory vcc being 1.80 click on it and set it to 1.82 or 1.84... something like that. Of course, if you see that the memory votage is less than 1.80 volts in the bios, change it to 1.80 first
  10. Stonerose92 Newcomer, in training Posts: 58

    Nah i genuinely haven't mate, only thing I can change in memory options is the SDRAM settings, old BIOS, and I can't update it, the one intel provides on their website isn't compatible with mine (although it says it is.)

    Little update though! Think i've figured out my BSOD, it's my UX1 Audio interface.. Lots of people have had many compatibility errors when using it with windows 7, so i've disconnected it for now, and haven't recieved a BSOD yet *fingers crossed*, though I don't know how i'm going to record my gutiar now, bad times :/
  11. Stonerose92 Newcomer, in training Posts: 58

    Nope! It's not the UX1 audio interface, BSOD occured twice, without it being connected, same again... no message. I'll upload the dump file, see if you wizards notice any differences between this one and the previous.

    Can we get back to checking the memory voltages? Can we assume the voltage is 1.80 volts? The title of your thread is "BSOD with no message". This tells me that a setting is off just a little. You are not overclocking are you?
  13. Stonerose92 Newcomer, in training Posts: 58

    No, i'm not overclocking, BIOS doesn't give me the option to do that either.
  14. Route44 TechSpot Ambassador Posts: 12,022   +18

    What T says again. The error code is again 0x1E and it specifically cited memory corruption. These reads happen either because 1) the memory is bad or 2) voltage settings. Other possibilities are a) overclocked (which you didn't do), b) memory not seated correctly, or c) the motherboard DIMM slots are themselves defected and thus it is a motherboard issue.
  15. Stonerose92 Newcomer, in training Posts: 58

    Is it possible at all to alter the voltage settings without going into the BIOS itself?
  16. Route44 TechSpot Ambassador Posts: 12,022   +18

    No. What is your BIOS, ie. Phoenix Award, American, etc.?
  17. Stonerose92 Newcomer, in training Posts: 58

    It's an intel BIOS i think, i tried updating it via the intel website but the only version they provide of my motherboard model, doesn't actually work with mine, it's a couple of version numbers out.. and when i try to install it, i can't
  18. Tmagic650 TS Ambassador Posts: 18,731   +62

    When you enter the bios it should tell you the name and bios version. Have you ever entered the bios at all?
  19. Stonerose92 Newcomer, in training Posts: 58

    Lol that's a bit rude bro, of course I have. I just don't have a super powered photographic memory. I'll find out my BIOS info in a second. This computer was bought about 6 years ago, the BIOS doesn't actually let you do much.
