Windows Vista I'm so tired of thease BSOD's please help me

I think it's safe to say am stable

Hey guy's,

No BSOD's for almost 24h shoohoo . I've been doing some fixing sens i first got that fastfat.SYS BSOD. I read that heavily fragmentation's could cause this error and i also read that "corrupted" partitions could. I have one small FAT32 partition that was heavily fragmented and also had some error in it. I bring this up sens i can't believe that the RAM placement was the only problem here because I've been switching them around many times before.

I want to thank you all so very much for the support you given me. It's not easy when you are all out of idea's you guy's give me strain gt to carry on, may sound a little bit gay but that's the honest truth I will stay here and try to help others as u help t me. And i really hope that am not celebrating to soon hehe.

Roger out!

 

In the future, you need to run memtest for longer than one hour. It's best to let it run over night. Because of the nature of the tests, you may not reliable results until several hours into testing.

As for your RAM speeds, I would recommend setting you BIOS differently. You should have options for normal, fail-safe, and performance configurations. Be sure to select the performance option.

What speed does your BIOS say that it is running at? A screenshot from CPU-Z would be helpful as well.

In any case, I'm glad your BSOD is gone for the moment. Please do let us know how things go.

 

Thnx nilpo,

There are different arguments about running memory testers. I for one believe that PeteC and the rest got a point. Memory testers doesn't really test the memory in the way Windows uses it. So with that in mind, the only use for memory testers is if your RAM is really broken.

As for my RAM, I've try d all possible combinations available, Overclocking isn't anything new for me, I'm quite good with computers. I have an idea why i can't run RAM at 1066Mhz. I think it's because i have 4096 MB of RAM and that pressure coming of running all 4 sticks at that speed is simply to much for the Motherboard to handle. And am quite happy being able to run the RAM at 950Mhz havening a bandwidth of over 7000 MB/s... CPU-Z is a nice piece of software yes

 

I don't disagree completely with the RAM testing argument. However, memtest86+ is a little different. It does more than simple read/write and speed test. It's goal is failure detection. It performs a series of rigorous stress tests designed to exceed the requirements of your operating system. The burn-in style of testing can present faults that would normally go undetected.

Keep in mind also that no software application can present a 100% accurate diagnostic.

My advice, don't choose between Vista's memory tester and memtest. Run them both.

 

I appreciate the explanation. I've run Vista's memory tester but i will run memtest86+ during the night just to be sure thnx.
