    PC Crashing every 4 hours or so with BSOD


    Hello there, I am having a super annoying problem with my PC. Everything was fine up until a few days ago (no new programs, no new hardware, no big updates) when my PC started BSODing every few hours. The Event Logs are useless (Event Id 6008 saying the system shut down for unexpected reasons) and BlueScreenViewer is blaming ntoskrnl.exe+14d2e9 which from what I've reads here is a coverup for the fact that it has no idea.

    So please help me! Many thanks!

    Please make sure that your memory modules are seated in the right slots, seat the memory modules in the same colored slots for best functioning.
    DIMM_A1 and DIMM_A2 aren't of the same color.

    Well I'll be whatevered. I never noticed I did that... My motherboard doesn't have colored RAM slots but I know better! A1 + A3 and A2 + A4.

    I checked all my drivers last night and they all seem to be the latest versions. Then I updated and reset the CMOS on my BIOS. So that's another item to check off. And I reseated the RAM (back into the wrong slots!) and ran Memtest86 on them for 8 passes and got no errors.

    I'll power down in a second and set the RAM to A1 + A3. Hopefully that, plus the other things mentioned above, will squash my problem. Thanks for the help! If I don't BSOD in the next few days I'll marked this as solved.
