I had my pc for about 2 months now, and the first week my pc was doing fine, untill I came back from Germany when I was on vacation, my pc started to act a little crazy, by showing blue screens when my pc is cold, like after somtimes after dinner (1-1,5 hours) or sleeping/ going to school. My pc is just stuck at the Starting Windows screen or I get a blue screen like MEMORY_MANAGEMENT 0x1A and PFN_LIST_CORRUPT 0x4E. I already re-installed Windows, updated my BIOS, all my drivers and I've reset the BIOS by shorting it (In that order)

My setup:
Windows 7 Ultimate
CPU: QuadCore Intel i5-3570
Motherboard: ASRock B75 Pro3
Graphics card: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 650 Ti
HDD: Western Digital WD10EZEX
RAM: Corsair Vengeance LP 1600-8GB (2x4GB)
Power supply: Corsair CXM 500W

Help is much appreciated! Thanks for reading my thread :)

Looks like your RAM is not doing too well. You should get the same results when "cold" as when "hot". Are all the BIOS values at default? Did you attempt any overclocking before?

Also, I might suspect some power surge that tried to take out your PSU. If you have another PSU to test with, put it in the system and see how it runs.

At this point I would suspect either RAM or the PSU being faulty.

I did the memtest (when my pc was cold, after school) and these were the results: http://nl.tinypic.com/r/30uelon/8, I did it once when my pc wasn't cold and I got no errors as result. The temperatures of my pc are as following: http://nl.tinypic.com/r/15wx5w3/8. I'll be doing a HDD test as soon as possible.

Thanks for your response!

So I just did a test on my HDD and no errors were found. All the BIOS values are on automatic except of the ventilators, they're a lower. I didnt overclock anything. I'll try to replace my RAM with my brothers RAM and see what that does and if errors still stay, I'll try another PSU, I've heard my PSU wasn't to good anyway.

Thanks for your response! I'll tell you if it's fixed or not :)
