I have recently received some blue screens of death:
IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL and PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA, I received a third BSOD but for some reason I didn't get the dump file created for it. All times playing Starcraft II (though I believe this is due to starcraft being the only large memory application I've been using).
I ran memtest initially it froze on test #5 no errors were reported.
I ran again and it went through 10 passes overnight with no errors.
yesterday it seemed to work fine. But I noticed today that it was showing only 4GB out of the 6GB I have.
I restarted it showed 6 again, went to play starcraft ii and bsod 5 minutes into a game.
I tried memtest again individually on each stick... each passed no errors.
I changed the speed and timings from 1066 7-7-7-19 to 1600 8-8-8-24 and upped the voltage to 1.64v (what the memory is actually rated to)
Again passed for each stick individually. When I reinserted all of them it failed early on (test #3 I believe). I upped the QPI voltage from 1.20v to 1.24v. It went through one pass, but then failed on test #3 again. This time it showed it was testing 6144 - 6656 when it errored and crashed. Since I only have 6GB it is odd that it is testing an extra 512MB.
I reset to auto configuration 1066 7-7-7-19 and noticed it was showing 4GB only again. In the bios it showed dimm slots 1,3,5 occupied (which is correct) and 1 and 4 enabled (which is odd as there is nothing in 4).
I changed back to 1600 8-8-8-24 and upped the vdimm to 1.66v (was showing only 1.614v when set to 1.64v) and qpi to 1.34v. So far system has been stable, but I've only ran a short sc2 game and left it in the menus (where one of the crashes happened) while I was out.
I'm not sure if there is anything more I can do to rule out ram being the issue. And I'm not sure if the issues I'm getting are PSU or motherboard related.
