Hi griffey..

I'll link this to the lab & see if someone can PM you re advise mate.

Not sure if I am allowed to copy / paste responses here.

That's the best I can to till an admin can help.

Cheers

This is my answer in the Lab Griffey:

As Binary suggests Memtest is the best way to test your ram (it runs under dos).

Memtest86+ - Advanced Memory Diagnostic Tool

It is so good that Corsair will only RMA ram if you have run Memtest first and it has failed.

Hey oldnbold. I got the memtest utility. But according to instructions i was following it said to make up bootable CD and then restart pc to get it to run diagnostics. Problem is my pc bios must not be set to read DVD/CD first before loading windows cause it always just loads through without running the test.

How do i get the utility to run in dos is it as efficient and accurate.

I got the blue screen twice more again today. Still not sure how to find a log of the event. After each one today i loaded event and searched for events in last hour and 700+ hits come out and i couldnt work out which one pertained to blue screen (if any).

In addition the problem only occurs during stressful times on my pc like gaming. World in conflict flattened it today. Happened twice at random times once in first map and then after 2-3 maps second time. THe second time screen went black first and i could still talk on teamspeak for about 5seconds then blue screen came??? Another gamer suggested increasing the voltage in bios to my RAM as his blue screens at strenous times also and he said this can be problem if motherboard bios not set to allow enough voltage to memory.

Im still not sure its even the RAM . Could be graphic card or something else. Im running beta drivers for crysis demo.

Thats all info i have atm. Been to corsair forums and read alot with no luck.

Sorry Griffey, I moved it to "The Lab" cause that's where you'll get the best answers, didn't realise you weren't TOG

[Alchemist023]

For now these are the recommendations im getting for liquid ninjas (enthusiest forum site)
- Up voltage on memory a little
- Synchronize my watch to pc time so i can look at exact time error occurs. Its only when pc is stressed in a game. I had pc idle on a pdf, and some music playing while i was studying for like 7hrs today and was completely fine. HDD made a little noise at times then went silent.
- Also i need to move DVD to top of BIOS boot order to run diagnostic.

Once i get back to you guys hopefully will have more info or a solution
