Update graphics card drivers

Thanks very much for your reply!

Interesting, my graphics card drivers are up-to-date, I thought it might be something to do with the card, I'm having problems with gaming. I think Ill remove the drivers I have now and reinstall the latest ones, see if that stabilises things.

Hope you are lucky. Vista (and XP pro) 64 bit versions have many problems with device drivers. It is a very poor show - although to be fair to MS - not entirely their fault.

Hi getting another BSOD now...

SYSTEM_SERVICE_EXCEPTION 0X0000003BG

 

[kimsland]

Inside the 1 MiniDump:

BugCheck 3B, {c0000005, fffff800022c16ca, fffff9801cf03c50, 0}
Probably caused by : ntkrnlmp.exe

Fault can be related to faulty onboard memory.
Please download Memtest and do a thorough test (7 passes) on your Ram

 

[StevenAFC]

Hey all, it think its bad news. I was running memtest at my overclocked settings as shown in my original post. But now ive reset them to 800Mhz and 5-5-5-18-2T @2.1v.

Im getting loads of errors in memtest, although not sure what they mean. Im only 13% into a pass and already have 30 errors. I don't know how to dump them to a file so ill type a few recurring addresses and stuff out.

Tst Pass Failing Address
3 0 0001e335c60 - 483.3MB
4 0 00037eb4774 - 894.2MB


Those 2 addresses are repeated all the time, although i think a few others are floating around.

As I finish writing this 18% 41 errors. HELP!

If you have two memory cards (or more) just leave one in at a time to test, until you find the stick of Ram causing the issue.

Also a lot of these Ram faults are caused by:
Ram not seated correctly
Mismatched Ram (different manufactures)
Dust (on the Ram or in the Ram slot)
The actual Ram!

 

[StevenAFC]

Ok this is gonna be fun 4 sticks!!!!!! hehe

Seating might be the issue I hope! Because 2 sticks went in after build and I found it tricky to put them in.

Unfortunately Im away this weekend for work stuff, so I wont be able to spend time with my PC till Monday, Thanks for all your help up to this point, its very much appreciated.

 

[StevenAFC]

Just to let you know, I had time today to look at my PC pushed in all the ram sticks, and now not getting any errors, hopefully that will be that.

Again thanks for your help! I would have been blaming vista!

 

[kimsland]

Vista does use more resource (demand on your Ram)

But all good ! Thanks for the update.
