hi cpc2004,
I'm a newbie here. I'd notice you're an expert with reading minidumps. I really need your help since my pc kept on getting bsod lately. Can u help me trace who's the culprit pls? :(

Here are the last 3 1001 event log i received.
The computer has rebooted from a bugcheck. The bugcheck was: 0x0000008e (0xc0000005, 0xbf80b3b1, 0xb7e8ecc4, 0x00000000). A dump was saved in: C:\WINDOWS\MEMORY.DMP.

Hi Keigo,

The culprit is faulty memory. You can run memtest to stress the ram. If memtest reports the ram is faulty, ram is bad. However Memtest is not a perfect tool to test the memory as some faulty ram can pass memtest.

Suggestion
1. Check the temperature of the CPU and make sure that it is not overheat (ie temperature < 60C)
2. Reseat the memory stick to another memory slot
3. Downclock the ram
4. Clean the dust inside the computer case
5. Make sure that the ram is compatible to the motherboard
6. Check the bios setting about memory timing and make sure that it is on
If it still crashes, diagnostic which memory stick is faulty
1. Take out one memory stick. If windows does not crash, the removed memory stick is faulty.
2. If you have only one memory stick, replace the ram
