Hello,

 

Recently I built a new computer, it was working perfectly without any problems for about 3 weeks but then last week it decided to not turn on when I pressed the power switch. The fans would spin up for about 1 second then cut off again, the motherboard would remain powered though. I "fixed" this problem by just disconnecting any power going to the computer for a random amount of time (I went shopping) and when I came back it worked again, no problems. I've since had this problem but now it's escalated to blue screens multiple times almost instantly since I login to my account, they first started last week and lasted for about 3 hours and now  today they've started again.

 

I tried troubleshooting myself by Googling the error codes I was getting during the blue screen and most of the results told me to run virus scans, memory checks etc... 

 

The virus scans came out clean and the memory management did detect some problems but didn't tell me what or at-least I don't know if I can tell what the problems are.

 

Some Error Codes the BSOD gave me:

- System Service Exception

- Memory Management

- Security Kernel Check Failure

- IRQL Driver Not Less or Equal

- Bad Pool Header

 

The above are some of the error codes I noted down that I've received today in the last 30 minutes.

 

I'm leaning towards there being a problem with my RAM as when I've Googled most people mention faulty memory and the error codes themselves refer to memory and when I performed the memory diagnostics it did tell me to contact my memory manufacturer but didn't tell me anything to tell them. Additionally, I have 4x4GB Sticks and I've removed 3 of them in attempt to get on this computer to write this post and I haven't crashed in 15 minutes so far.

 

Is there anything anyone else knows what causes this, how to fix etc... or am I already leaning to the right solution and just need to contact Corsair and deal with this themselves?

 

Thanks.

Take all sticks of ram out, and try one at a time in each dimm. So essentially just move around 1 stick of ram until it works. Repeat with a second stick.

I just ran MemTest86 for over an hour and here are my results: prhXzxM.jpg

 

With 65,000+ errors here is definitely a ram problem.
