Hey everybody,
The Blue Screen of Death has been coming up on my computer since last night. It all started after I cleaned the dust out of my computer with a can of compressed air. Also, I took two sticks of RAM from my brothers old PC (I'm not sure why he didn't want them) and put it in the computer. At first it wouldn't start up at all (I read that means the RAM wasn't installed correctly), so I took one of the sticks out which I had a little trouble plugging in. After that it began starting up, but everything was kind of an odd purple color, and it brought me to an auto-repair screen. I clicked auto not advanced, and after a few it began starting normally. Shortly after I logged in the first BSOD came. I don't remember exactly what order the errors showed up in, but I think the first one said "page_fault_in_non_paged_area".
After a few minutes it restarted and another BSOD came.
I decided that I should just take out the other stick of RAM and that would fix it. But the BSODs keep coming. The PC can run for awhile, but once I try to play games or anything a BSOD follows shortly.
But like I said earier there have been different error messages. I have seen:
-page_fault_in_non_paged_area,
-ntfs file system error, and
-bad pool header
I am not sure how to fix it, I can send the dump files if needed when I get home.
Any help will be greatly appreciated. I was excited to have double the RAM and a freshly dusted computer.
Thanks guys
