BSOD :( Help please

[meritmaster]

Well  recently i have been getting the errors stated in this post: http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/165149-is-my-mother-board-dying/#entry2197973

 

Now i'm getting some blue screens that don't happen often, and occur randomly.

Once i found out i BSOD'ed i went the a BSOD checker to get the codes.

 

This is what i got, and i can't seem to find anything relating to that code; can someone help?

According to the picture it's related to ntoskrnl.exe, which usually indicates a faulty RAM or a driver error.

Have you updated any drivers recently? If so, try rolling back to a previous version of the driver(s).

Try running Memtest86+ for 4-6 passes, to check the RAM for errors

I have done a recent reformat on a old replacement drive, so perhaps that could be the issue?

Will run it! Appericate the recommendation

It might be, sometimes ntoskrnl.exe is just a sign that Windows gave up, so everything goes. 

If Memtest86+ comes up empty, try running the PC with as little hardware as possible, and then begin adding hardware.

If that doesn't do anything, try reinstalling Windows.

 

Edit: Do the PC BSoD in Safe Mode?

It doesn't happen often, and when it does it's random. ( I've actually never seen it blue screen, as i just walked in my room to find it restarted).

I can't seem to run memtest, as it wants me to burn it to a CD?

How can i test it for a bsod?

I would get the and errors, along with memory management and some other. Ended up being faulty ram... I reinstalled windows for this shit lol. Use members.

Edit: Is easier to use members on a USB drive. Just watch a video how to put it on and you just have to boot your pc from the USB. Memtest will start automatically

You can also burn Memtest86+ to a USB stick. 

To test for a BSoD you just boot into safe mode and wait if it happens random, or try trigging it if it happens during certain scenarios.

Use the autoinstaller.

 I'm confused on how Memtest works now.

I tried burning it to a CD, but that has done nothing, and i can't figure out how to launch it

You burn it, and then you boot from it. It's a small DOS program that test your memory. It can't run inside Windows.

So boot from start up like a windows disk when formatting?
