Heya guys,
Been having some strange and rather infrequent BSODs for about a month now.
They seem to only occur on first start up of the day (cold startup?) and will crash a short while after entering Windows, with the flag MEMORY_MANAGEMENT.
I checked BluescreenViewer and this is what it produced. > Picture <
I know the usual replies will be regarding memtest and I haven't performed a test yet, but it's definitely going to happen, just want to eliminate some possible factors before assuming it's something wrong with the memory.
So, having read up on some of the info BluescreenView came up with, it seems to be either:
a) Hardware fault, something wrong with the physical memory.
b) A voltage issue.
Now, what leads me to believe it's b) rather than a) is the following:
Crash happens -> Windows boots back up -> Some applications crash on start up -> Things like Chrome open up, but give me errors due to memory.
Wait 1 minute and all errors are gone, Chrome works fine, applications that crash earlier can be started up again and everything is fine and dandy. These crashes don't ever happen apart from on the first start up (so far).
So, I looked into some posters claiming that it's an overclocking thing gone wrong. Specs here:
I've done no overclocking, apart from raising my voltage on the DRAM to 1.65 (after reading about the voltage issue). Should it be higher?
Are my timings okay on the RAM? Does anything else look strange?
Any ideas on what could be causing these? I will be doing memtests once I can free up enough for them, but first I want to rule out any issues?
Also, if any info is missing, I'll be happy to provide it.
