Hey toms forum.

I'm really sad and disgruntled. I built my PC last week and I foolishly bought windows 8 OS because i assumed it should run fine and if and that most issues were cosmetic.

After a week of use. I had to reinstall windows twice. My browser constantly crashes (chrome, firefoxf, IE). The browsers crashing are the warning signs. Then i get the BSOD

error: NTFS_SYS & IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL

I'm not sure what may be wrong. Whether its the OS, my SSD, My Ram.

This is my first experience with a built PC and it has been a horrible one....


Only image i was able to get from these BSOD

Running one stick should be enough, provided it fails on one and not the other!

Im going to try the memtest86 i was finally able to boot tup in safe mode.

I ran the latest windows update, ran a malware scan, and ran chkdsk. Everything seems to be working fine but i'm skeptical.

I am suspicious of my Ram. Your gonna have to bare with me as I'm somewhat new to PC, but i feel something is wrong with my ram due to the fact that My computers stats that only 7.20gb out of 8.00gb is usable.

Best post your full specs, if you're using onboard GPU it will hog some of your RAM...
Meanwhile it could be one driver that's causing the problem. Clean Startup may help identifying it, takes a while, but worth a try. Also if you have more than one stick of RAM try running on one at a time and in different slots, this can be more useful than memtest, it doesn't always find the fault...

I'm still running the memtest (taking longer than i expected)
As for specs
AMD A10 6800k
MSI FM2 A75ma-e35
CORSAIR force gt 120gb ssd
PATRIOT signature line ddr3 8GB
WIN 8

I did the research and found out that the processor is sharing the ram.

AWESOME, You guys have been extremely helpful. I have two sticks so i can try to find out which ram is causing the problem and just run off of one stick.

So I'm assuming that the ram is the only cause of the issues? Is there any tests i can do on the other hardware just to be sure?
If i make a run to Frys i would like to just go once....the nearest frys is 2 hours away.
