I figured that it was worth updating that I thought I'd try out 2 things:

1) My ram channels were _1 and _3, and _2 and _4 and didn't realise they were actually adjacent rather than being actual...

Ok, well thanks for your help :). I might try that issue on one of 2 other sites I've been to with a RAM section.

Oh... Well anyway since then I've pressed the button to clear the cmos and the computer kept resetting still with 4 sticks in, when I took 2 out then it let me clear the cmos. Same resetting...

I managed to get my RAM 2 days ago and tested it over the past 2 days. 12 passes on each stick which is good (though my last set seemed to originally pass). The trouble I'm having so far is getting...

Thanks. I did do that last time. The first replacement showed an error so I returned it. The 2nd replacement went 10 passes (iirc) without any displayed errors hence why it escaped my notice. In my...

Sure thing, though once I get my replacement it could take weeks for any findings. It seems bad luck to have so many RAM faults and to have missed it originally on my initial retest.

Thanks for mentioning memtest86+, I used memtest86 previously and assumed it'd find anything just fine. Though for some reason it wouldn't boot from USB so I burned to disk. I still had the no...

Right, i'll get to it and report back when I have something to report.

Well I've only tested 2 modules (though I used the non plus version since that was already on my usb recently), but the results seem interesting so far.

So I left 2 sticks doing overnight and that...

Well haven't had any issues apart from one just now. So somewhat hopefully it'll be closer to the original issues I had. Added a dump though feel free to pass looking if it's taking up your time.

I decided to just do the reset in the end. The increased BSODs recently could just be driver booster messing up the drivers and I figured it'd just be simpler to reset things than being uncertain...

Unfortunately I don't, I did have one but I guess it's been too long and since been removed. I suppose I should reset my pc and then continue to diagnose the issues after updating the drivers? If...

The realtek ones I figured I'd get direct from the link when you listed the drivers to update. In previous installations for windows 7 I did install form the motherboard site. I decided to try the...

Bsod happens straight away mentioning irql_not_less_or_equal. Then after using the command prompt to disable it I got a bsod, then it reset with another bsod mentioning "system service exception"....

I did try late last year to use driver verifier. It managed to bsod straight away and I had to system restore. Should I try again? I also removed the sb audigy driver that was on since the last bsod...

That comment was more towards if I noticed it and had to do it for ~5 weeks. Though I suppose there's always turning the settings down too. Nevertheless I was and will be trying it. In some ways it'd...

I used the first pciex16 since it was the most logical and it also spaced things out when I had my sound card in. I can try the 2nd slot providing I can deal with less performance (though a quick...

Yes it was. Never tried the other slots.

Ran it for ~35 mins. Remained at a stable 80-81 degrees throughout. I assumed the enable log actually saved it and I was dumb enough to have the wrong active window open to take a screenshot of the...

Just managed to get another bsod. I'm not sure why they seem more frequent recently. Uploaded a new attachment.

Ok thanks, we'll see how things get on :)

Ok thanks, I just wanted to be clear. The sound card was something I questioned with it being older and not as supported nowadays, but with giving it a trial for removing it and getting a bsod a...

Indeed, so I'm to disconnect the connector to the usb 3 ports for the case? I don't have a separate usb 3.0 card connected is what I was trying to clarify.

Sorry, could you clarify? I did have usb extension that came with the motherboard, but didn't have a front slot in my case to fit it so the only usb 3 devices I have are from my case and mobo. So do...

Thanks for taking the time to look into it. I did use driver booster since installing in previous windows 7 installations and upgrading the drivers from my motherboard website still gave me bsods and...
