Hello all,

Im currently experiencing multiple computer issues, some more serious than other but could be possibly linked?
I built my computer just under a year ago and began with the problem of the computer not retaining the graphic card driver. as in i have to re-install it every time i restart the computer.
the next issue came in the form of a blue screen which mentions a memory dump. This has got progressively worse (blue screen) and my computer is now running really slow to add to the problems.
So basically NEEDS major help.
i first thought it could be RAM power issues as ive heard the blue screen is linked sometimes with that and the slow computer would also indicate this but after checking, it is recieveing the corect amount of power.
My computer stats are as followed:


Operating System: WINDOWS 7 Home Premium 64-bit (6.1, Build 7601) Service Pack 1

Can anyone help. Its really starting to effect my Uni work and just need to get this fixed.
Cheers all.

I'd start by making a bootable thumb drive or (cd or dvd ) with memtest86 on it and run the systems memory through its paces. A bad memory stick or memory that has issues when paired up with ANOTHER but operate fine alone can be the cause of these issues. Run memtest86 for at least 3 passes, this might take a while but should point out memory issues if those are causing this.

Also look in event log of windows os under management and look for repeat errors and write them down and share here.You may not have the correct vid driver also...no logical reason it wouldn't be retained...and i can't think of ever HEARING that symptom...aaahhh the blue screen of death,yes i had that happen to me for quite sometime,and went for a full system restore-very dodgy,but in the end i had a fully operational,healthy computer,i mean it does cut to blue screen like once a month now,but not as often as it did before.just a handy suggestion,always shut it down properly,never put it to sleep or hibernate it,as this puts enourmous strain on the endurence of the hard drives storing all that data for so long,this makes the computer laggy and sluggish over a long period of timeFeel free to ignore the above postQuote from: floydo97 on February 14, 2013, 06:12:37 AM
