Blue screens, is it the RAM?

mkextremer · Feb 16, 2014

In the past couple of months, I have been getting a ton of blue screens..
Last one happened today after trying to close Google Chrome which had around 10 tabs open.

SSD 250 GB Evo
3 TB WD Green
AMD FX-8350
ASUS 660 Ti
Patriot Viper 2x4 GB C9 1600 MHZ
GA-990XA-UD3

I ran memtestx86 for about 50 minutes and it showed 0 errors...
Help me out please.

Blue screens mostly result due to lack of power required to run pc which is due to less powerful Power supply.
Check Wattage of your Psu
It should be atleast 500W and 600W if u have overclocked your cpu

maktovic · Feb 16, 2014

And your test didnt detected any problem coz the problem was due to inadequate power and not due to hardware failure.It maybe due to your powersupply incompetency

750 W cooler master bronze

You are ok with your psu
If u have overclocked your gpu or cpu then try decreasing those settings and that will definitely help

They are not overclocked :///

I once tried overclocking my r9 280x but small spots of blue colour started appearing randomly and frequently.So maybe problem is with your Gpu.If the problem is with your Ram then your Pc wont even boot up

Also check temp.of your pc components.Excessive temp. can also be one of the reason

mkextremer · Feb 16, 2014

Its not any of that.. A lot of people said it might be a faulty/bad ram..

1.Try reinstalling graphics driver and ccleaner to remove junk registry values in your pc.
2.Try unplugging and plugging in your monitor cable

we need the stop code, it tells a lot of info. take a pic of the blue screen on your cell or something . it will look like
0x000007B 0X0000005 etc

mkextremer · Feb 16, 2014

Did all of that. Any other suggestions?
I also forgot to add that I have a water cooling kit, Seidon 240m
Nothing is overclocked.

Can I send you the dump file? or an SS from bluescreenview?

maktovic · Feb 16, 2014

Your pc displays blue screen when it is under load as u mentioned 10 simultaneously opened tabs on Chrome.So it looks more like graphic card fault

mkextremer :

dump files are great, should have the stop code in there somewhere. screenshot will work too, but youd have to take a pic with a cellphone or something.

mkextremer · Feb 16, 2014

But its a 660 Ti Asus DirectCU II OC Edition 2GB...

Ok, make sure you update the graphics drivers, the most up to date beta if you haven't tried it yet.
Clear up your hard drive of clutter, defrag it, and check its health.
Run slimdrivers to make sure all drivers are up to date.
Check the manufacturer's website for your motherboard model to see that the BIOS version currently installed is the most up to date available (usually under support/downloads section).

How to Troubleshoot a "STOP 0x0000001E KMODE_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED" Error Message

Try to replace the driver that is identified in the STOP error message, either with a known good copy from your installation media, or with an updated version from the manufacturer.
Disable the driver that is identified in the STOP error message or any newly installed drivers.
Verify that any new hardware or software is properly installed. Disconnect the new hardware or replace it to see if this resolves the issue.
If you have a video driver that was not supplied with the operating system, try switching to the standard VGA driver or a driver that is compatible with the operating system.
View the following Microsoft Hardware Compatibility List Web site to verify that all your hardware and drivers are compatible with the operating system:
http://www.microsoft.com/whdc/hcl/default.mspx
Run any system diagnostics that are supplied by your computer manufacturer, especially a RAM check. If this is a new installation of the hardware or software, contact the manufacturer for any requires updates for drivers or firmware.
Disable all filter drivers, such as remote control software, antivirus programs, backup programs, and so on.

Dear god... I installed all the newest updates/bios and after I start my PC, after the windows logo after the motherboard there comes a quick blue screen... What do I do??

Beezy · Feb 16, 2014

and you are 100% certain you installed the right drivers?

mkextremer · Feb 16, 2014

Beezy :

Pretty sure, I now did a restore and everything is back to normal.
I am now with the newest graphic driver and the newest BIOS for my MB
Unfortunately I cannot test my pc in gaming today..
Will report here tomorrow if I get any blue screens.

Beezy · Feb 16, 2014

the 0x0000003b stop code is for something with the network driver IEEE 1394. I think that's the Ethernet port or something check the BIOS for Ethernet settins too
