Some Bluescreen concerns.

[Oberst]

Hey all.

I got myself a new rig in December of last year and for the first month or so it was running fine but I started getting bluescreens on occasion that now are almost a daily nuisance. Most of the time it looks like this:

I would say 85% of the time the bluescreen error I get is related to that. Sometimes it will say "PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONEPAGED_AREA" or "BAD_POOL_HEADER".

Computer always reboots fine but it's just very annoying and i'd like to find a way to fix it if possible. I've tried doing some research and from what I understand it could be an issue with my RAM, but I have no idea how to fix the issue. Any help/suggestions are appreciated, thank you.

Lack of power in your PSU is what is causing that BSOD. Run out of power, BSOD pops up, Memory_Mangement error, due to lack of PSU power. Need a PSU upgrade before that thing bursts on ya. OR Before you go that route, run memtest and make sure your RAM isnt failing, it could be your RAM too, those are the only two causes to this. Test ram, if it passes with no errors, its your PSU.

Since I had Windows 7 I went ahead and used the Memory Diagnostic tool, it did identify my RAM as the issue. I do believe it is covered under my warranty so I will look into getting it replaced. Thanks for the advice.
