Righteous Posted November 3, 2007 Share Posted November 3, 2007 Hi, not very advanced in the computer department, so bare with please! Basically, every nearly every day, several times in the day, my system will just blue screen, i changed from my old soundcard to the newer onboard one, this stopped the blue screening for 2/3 days then it started happening again, this time with a new message (see below): BAD_POOL_CALLER Stop: 0x000000 C2 (0x0000007, 0x00000CD4, 0x746C7847,0x£10FD3C4) ---- I searched various forums and basically, it seemed to come down to being a RAM issue, i used MemTest running the programme simaltanously (spelling!) 1023, only one was increasing on the 'coverage' bar, i let it go to 238% before stopping it (not sure if i need to leave it on much longer?) it came up with 1 error (see below): "memory error detected! copying between 165e6f0 and 165e5ae did not result in accurate copy. memtest has dectected that your computer cannot accuratly store data in RAM. you need to fix this" according to the MemTest my RAM is bad, but id like a 2nd opinion before i return it back to OverClockers, my PC specs are below, if it is any help: abit IP35-E Off Limits Intel Core 2 DUO LGA775 E6600 2.40GHz 2GB Corsair XMS2-6400C5 DDR2 Dual Channel Kit (above all part of a bundle) EVGA GeForce 8800 GTS 320MB GDDR3 HDTV/Dual DVI (PCI-Express) Western Digital RE2 500GB SATA-II 16MB Cache Pioneer DVD-RW DVR-110D (kept from previous pc) Enermax Noisetaker 535W EG565AX-VE(W) SFMA ATX2.0 SLI Compliant PSU On Board 7.1 Realtek HD Audio Sorry if i've rambled on, just wanted to give anyone who can help all the information i think could be helpful, look forward to any help, thanks for your time!

Legend Posted November 4, 2007 Share Posted November 4, 2007 Run http://www.memtest.org to test the RAM. I would suggest testing the modules one at a time by physically removing one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Righteous Posted November 4, 2007 Author Share Posted November 4, 2007 I tried memtest today on each individual stick of RAM both seemed ok after 2 hours or so of testing, i haven't had any blue screen crashes since (fingers crossed), a friend told me to use my onboard soundcard and remove my old Soundblaster 5.1 from the PC altogether. This hopefully was the cause of the problem, if not im going to send the RAM back and see if that solves it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legend Posted November 5, 2007 Share Posted November 5, 2007 I have heard of some compatability issues with CL sound cards. If the RAM passes memtest without errors would direct to some other component from your system Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
