Hi all, I can't remember what causes the Physical memory dump bsod, is it buggered ram or screwey hdd? OR could it just be a corrupted windows install? My mums comp just popped up with this the other day out of the blue
I've had physical memory dump from bad drivers and if I remember correctly from ram that i had the latencies tuned lower then what I should have set them too. If it's a driver it should usually give you a message along the lines of "driver caught in an infinite loop" or something like that.
memtest ***... that happened to me not long ago, pc would boot up, when i tried installing windows, everything seemed ok, then it would crap out after a bit.. once it started filling up my other stick of ram, it died.. so, i stuck to one stick of ram, and its fine.
yeh I thought RAM as well, i tried it with both sticks on their own and it still seems to happen. I'll drop some of my flex in there before I RMA it to see if it works with that in there memtest requires a floppy drive doesnt it?
mother goooser, i had similar issues with flex9200, it needs carefull tweeking, maske sure there matched sticks, in cpuZ and spd tool, in pairs, first. ie all settings look same and data is the same in each stick, as there were some dodgy pairs doing the rounds. what os are u using as viata cant install with 4gb, it has a bug fixed by a patch later after the install. make sure its not u qx6700, i need to run mine 2.35v not default 2.25, even at stock speeds. increase voltages a bit to get 4 gb stable. i can pm u the link to another forum with good settings for the memory. there is no such thing as plug and play 4gb in a striker. try undervoolting it to 2.2v some people report this fixes there issues, although mine needs 2.3v do not run 2.4v o r more though on nv680i mbs for long periods, as some people are reporting ram dieing, and i lost a set a while ago, and it may have been voltage that killed mine. there are some good guides on some sites for bios settings for flex9200, i can pm u if u like. however 6400c4 domminator is a very good choice for 4gb cheap if your not going overclock, although many have 8500 domminator at 1066fsb stable.
Hey dimebar, thanks for the info but this is not my PC that is having the problem it is my mums, she's got some 667 XMS2 in there, I just put 1 stick on my flex in to see if it solved the problem and it hasn't. I am thinking this could be hdd related now, let me tell you what happens: Everything posts, the windows loading screen appears, then., just before the logon screen should load, the screen is black and the mouse cursor appears and accepts inputs, but the logon screen never follows, usually is loads within a second of the black screen with the mouse cursor. This happens with both sets of RAM, I can't even get the BSOD to happen now because I cannot log into windows. Sounds like HDD to me?!
I had this BSOD yesterday on (my mum's computer!) running Vista, I thought it was the RAM at first but the computer hadn't actually crashed since it was running a memory dump. IIRC if this happens it isn't the RAM. It's a driver or HDD issue. After repairing Vista I got it up and running again and narrowed it down to a dodgy dvd-rw driver. Since you have already replaced the RAM, system restore or repair *** - darn, need to bugger RTT to remove this outlaw!
i hope me means to bug him Clean install of xp home has solved the problem touchwood, random one though I have gotta say.
I've been getting a BSOD Memory Dump Lately, but it's usually always in STALKER on vista ultimate x64 cuz the nvida and creative drivers are crap even the latest, but it doesn't help that I have 4 gigs of ram with the hardware hole enabled cuz that ****s with a lot of ****, and been getting some weird things happening with my lan ports and internet and just everything, vista is still very much workable, only get those issues once and a while * Pardon my language, I often talk like a Sailor
hmmmm a quick update, did a fresh xp sp1 install, done all the updates etc but now the whole system seems appriecably (sp!?!?) slower. Also, the image on the screen is apparently not as sharp as it was before (i say apparently because mum runs it at 1024*768 on a 19" panel, eyesight is to blame) so obviously to me it still looks crap lol She insists it is worse though, and I can vouch for the performance. I've put the latest drivers for every piece of hardware, what do you reckon?!
