Blue screen of death help!

[Big Beere]

Hi all

I have Vista 32bit and just lately its been having a lot of BLUE SCREEN OF DEATHS! It's done it tonight within the matter of 10mins between each other.

I managed to take a photo before it went off. - I haven't installed any new hardware or software in ages, nor removed anything from the motherboard. I haven't updated any software/hardware in a while so cant think what's causing it??

Couple things on there to try.

As your ram is dual channel might wont to try removing one stick and see if you still get the error, obviously swap them over a try the other one out on its own if you still get the problem

It's always hard to remember all these stop error messages, but this does look like a hardware fault. I would suspect a power supply issue on the hopeless Hiper 580W, possibly curable with some attention to the 2X PCIE connectors to the graphic card, and as Finners says, running memtest86+ or similar on the RAM.

A Ubuntu live CD is useful in this situation since it takes Windows out of the equation and includes memtest.

As has already been stated this is very likely a hardware fault with memory.
But it could be your antivirus software, especially if you have it on autoupdate, so you could try rolling back your av software to before you had this problem.

Hi guys,

Thanks for the replys - I'm going to do a memory test now and see what the results show.

Meanwhile I've had another BSOD but its come up with a different error message, shown below:

So it looks like its deffo my memory at fault - lets see what the results show!

Will keep you updated,

Cheers,

If you have any spare ram around try it, if it works then that deffo will reveal the problem.

Quite a few things to try here: http://aumha.org/a/stop.php#0x50

It's one of those elusive errors that can be caused by a multitude of problems so it's trial and error in fixing it really as there is no way for anyone to say for definate what it is

Had a lot of these and it was either my SATA cable or my power to hard drive was not connected properly. Changed my sata cable and repluged power to hard drive and now no probs

I've had this. The only way I could get around it was to restore the laptop to factory condition :S
