Goodday,

 

All of a sudden my computer turned off after displaying a blue screen saying Memory Management. After that it happens pretty much instantly when I'm in Windows.
I already ran a RAM check in Safe Mode, but that told me that everything was fine...

What can I do?

 

Thanks in advance!

No not yet. There is no other possibilty? Would it be better to first try and reinstall it?

Perhaps give Memtest86 a try since the error you mentioned was regarding "Memory Management". Run a few passes of Memtest and see if there are any errors.

What happened before this started? And you can also manually test if its just one stick by testing them one by one.

I did had some issue a few days before my first blue screen; My windows only booted via Override Boot in the bios, but I do not know if that can be linked to the memory management blue screen...

Thats why I asked. It could be just some update or setting gone wrong in windows which results in that BSOD. You can safely try to revert to point before update. That might delete some programs you have since installed and change desktop icons to look like that point. But it won't effect on files.

Or I could first try a Windows repair? Is that also OK?

And by taking out one RAM piece at a time, you mean I can just use my pc with 3 of them clicked in? Or is that not possible?

Yes to both. Windows repair or loading previous "checkpoint" of system. Thats completely fine and would fix most of basic software/OS based problems.

 

As for RAM, Win7 can run with only one stick, or any number of sticks between 1 and all you can fit. You will loose some of performance but its standart prodecure when you are trying to troubleshoot ram related problems.

But I heard that when you don't use all RAM slots, you have to for instance use slot 1 and 3, or is that only for Dual channel RAM? Cause I have Quad Channel RAM

Yes, but it will still boot (you don't lose that much real life performance) and you want to take some out to check for a bad stick/sticks

Linux "nerd".  If I helped you please like my post and maybe add me as a friend :)  ^_^!

@ohJey is right about this. Your ram will still work as one by one. Or in dual channel. Being Quad channel means that its factory verified to quad channel use.

My memtest86 had over 200 000 errors and took over 7 hours... But I did a little research and I ended up raising the voltage of my DRAM to 1.55V and it seems to be working now. Although I will install a complete new windows 7 or 8 in the near future
