Debugging - Need Some Help

[ken_nuff]

Hello Bros,
as above I need some help, I've been getting BSOD for the past 1 month,
its a little random, first it couldn't boot to OS kept BSOD. After 2 weeks of no usage, it could power up again, but ocassionally BSOD as I play CSGO. But after a few restarts I could play the game as per normal. used kombuster for stress test and theres no issue. (+ initially the nvidia driver didn't install properly but rolled back and reinstalled properly)

could it be RAM?

here's my Rig.
Phenom IIx6 Thuban 1055T 2.8GHz
GA-MA785GPM-UD2H
MSI N560GTX-M2D1GD5
PSD22G6672H 2GBx3 DDR2 Patriot
Adata S510 120GB + Seagate 250GB Raid 2+0
BenQ V2410Eco 24" LED-Backlit LCD
Seasonic M12II-520Bronze 80Plus Bronze!
Windows 7 Professional (64 bit)

yes, most likely it's due to the RAM.
Btw, how old is your RAM? Any RAM replacement before? BRAND?

Do a memtest and see how it goes.

Have you reseated your RAM modules ? If not, just try it. Sometimes, it might be RAM module contact issue that cause BSOD.

ok, will do. Thanks Bros, will keep a notice after rearranging and mem test

No bother testing. For me, that ram should be more than 6 years and I won't waste time doing memtest cos it takes a lot of time. Just use HD tune to check ur OS drive.

Especially if ur ssd fails it will fail completely. Unlike those mechanical hdd, even with slight bad sector u might still be able to boot into OS.
