Two things: First, update to Service Pack 3.

Second, Your issue is with memory corruption. In fact one of the errors is 0x4E which is the strongest error indicating corrupted memory and that is exactly what it gave as the probable cause. Therefore you’ll need to run memtest on your RAM.

There is a Tutorial: How to use Memtest in our Guides and Tutorials forum; follow the instructions. There is a newer version than what is listed; use the newer. If you need to see what the Memtest screen looks like go to reply #21. The third screen is the Memtest screen.

Step1 - Let it run for a LONG time. The rule is a minimum of 7 Passes; the more Passes after 7 so much the better. The only exception is if you start getting errors before 7 Passes then you can skip to Step 2.

There are 8 individual tests per Pass. Many people will start this test before going to bed and check it the next day.

If you have errors you have corrupted memory and it needs to be replaced.

Step 2 – Because of errors you need to run this test per stick of RAM. Take out one and run the test. Then take that one out and put the other in and run the test. If you start getting errors before 7 Passes you know that stick is corrupted and you don’t need to run the test any further on that stick.


* Get back to us with the results.

he tryed other sticks of ram, it did the same with them so dont think its to do with the ram

Then find the voltage specs of the RAM and compare it to the voltage setting in your BIOS. Do they match? How about the timings?

Is his memory in the correct configuration as per his motherboard?

The voltages matched, we checked, have any other clue what it could be?

Possibly motherboard

btw thank you for helping me with my previous problem, ur a lot of help bro.
