Hey guys, first want to apologize for any typos but I'm typing this on my phone right now and I'm pretty frantic.
Basically I was watching a movie on my computer when all of a sudden I get a BSOD with a memory_management error. I'm a student and can't afford anything to happen to my desktop, so I quickly installed memram as a bootable on my usb.
Restarted, ran a quick test, it said there was an address problem or something. I recalled that that meant it was broken. Okay, but I have 2 sticks, so I decided to manually test it out. I took one out, turned on my pc, ran fine and booted to desktop. Then I took the working ram out and placed the other one in.
Here's where I started freaking out. Turned on my pc, it ran for a couple seconds, then turned off. It would then turn on again and repeat this cycle until I unplugged it. I then unplugged all my peripherals, removed my graphics card and hard drive in case something went horribly wrong, and then placed the previously working ram stick into the computer so both were in there.
Turn on my computer and it goes back into its cycle of on and off. I then took out the CMOS battery, placed it back in, and turned my pc on -- still nothing. If I even remove all the ram, it now just turns off and on repeatedly. I also tried unplugging and replugging in cables from the power supply to the motherboard.
I was careful to discharge all static beforehand, so I don't think that had anything to do with it. I've also been running the same parts for over a year now with no issues.
My parts --
- 3770k, hottest it goes is 50 Celsius under a stress test.
- z77a-g45 gaming motherboard
- 2x4gbs of Corsair Vengeance ram, DDR3
- GTX 970
Please help me everyone, I'm really stressed right now as I'm a student and I have really important files on there, and if my entire system is broken I can't afford to fix it.
Thanks.
