Programs stop working and occasional blue screen

[BRiteBak]

So all of my browsers constantly crash and often programs will "stop working" and freeze

 

I blue screen once in about 24 hours, everything is stock clock and I have 24 hour memtested

Please follow the guide in the "read before asking for help" thread and post the contents of C:\Windows\Minidump in a compressed archive (.zip, .7z etc.) to the forum so that we can try to troubleshoot the issues.

Sorry to break the news but it appears to be your ram. It can pass memtests but still be bad, and all the files I've looked at so far have ram-related errors.

I will edit this post if I change my mind.

Definitely. The error codes are "memory_corruption", "PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA", "pool_corruption" etc. which are all ram related and not good. Sorry.

AHA! Thanks so much for the help!

 

Would ram issues explain the programs "stop working error" ?

Quite likely.

Quite likely.

Interesting, should I borrow some stable ram or try 1 at time?

If you borrow known good RAM to make sure it is a RAM error, and if that works, try one stick at a time on your RAM to identify the module that's not working. If you are going to buy a new dual channel kit anyway though, you could just not even bother to check each module individually, although it's probably better to know which is completely dead I guess.

Put in a stable 2gb stick and having a heap of hard faults, should I be concerned
