Continuous BSOD after installing new RAM

I have bought new 4 GB RAM and placed it in my laptop today. When I turn on my laptop, it does very well until 10 minutes get the BSOD. I have at least 5 BSOD this time and it very annoying. I had to run Memtest86 and found no error. Had to run Windows Memory
Diagnostic but stuck in 14% forever.

What should I do??

BSOD dump link + Memtest: Minidump

My laptop:

Windows 10 Home SL 64-bit

4 GB RAM upgradeable to 8 GB

Intel Core i7 7200U 2.5 GHz

1 TB HDD

 

Continuous BSOD after installing new RAM

Hi Danang,

We appreciate that you have provided us the results as well as your laptop's specifications. Here's a

link which includes troubleshooting steps for Blue Screen of Death (BSOD) issues. Select the appropriate answer for the questions to provide you the troubleshooting steps for the issue.

Let us know how it goes.

 

See the box at the top of yout thread of the top of the BSOD forum, especially the first sentence:

Please read the instructions here: Blue Screen of Death (BSOD) Posting Instructions

Also, if you had no problems before installing the new 16GB RAM then the likely cause is the new RAM, whether it fails testing or not. If you've only had the one failure then run for awhile and see if it reoccurs. If not ignore it. If it does, remove the new RAM, reinstall the old RAM and test that way.

 

Hi Ztruker, thanks for your reply, i am aware of that, and already generated those files using the tool mentioned, but i think it contains "too much" information, would it be ok if i edit some of those files before sending it?. I never had any BSOD errors before, the only things i "changed" this time are:

- Added a single 16GB RAM stick.
- I also forgot to mention that i added a case fan (from NZXT). - Not sure if has anything to do with it.
- Enabled XMP from BIOS before a clean windows installation. I heard that some people had similar issues after enabling XMP, could it be the reason why?
- Installed Windows 10 Creators Update (1703).

I am at work now, will uploaded the files when i get back home, but you can find my current build specs below:
- Motherboard: Asus B150M PRO GAMING.
- Processor: Intel Core i5-6500 - LGA1151.
- RAM: Crucial Ballistix Sport LT 16GB DDR4 2400 CL16 1.2V (BLS16G4D240FSC).
- VGA: AMD Sapphire Dual-X R7 265.
- Disks: SSD: Corsair Force LS 120GB Sata III + HDD: Western Digital (WD) Caviar Black WD1002FAEX 1TB 64MB Cache.
- PSU: SeaSonic S12II Bronze 520W 80 PLUS Certified PSU.

Thanks! *Smile

 

Here are the files generated by the tool:

Note: I replaced some text like username, timezone, etc with "*****" for a lil bit of privacy if that's ok *Smile.

Thanks!

Hi zbook,

1- Done, i have added my build specs to the profile *Smile.

2 - I use CCleaner, and had this memory dumps checked. (Just got it unchecked).

3- I can't find "system error memory dumps" option, the closest thing i found (and was unchecked), is "System created Windows Error Reporting".

4 - Here is it:




It was set to none, now i changed it to auto, btw is this statement true?

5, 6, 7, 8 - Added Files, WhoCrashed report inside the same archive.

 

The dumps and the passwords are not related.
Microsoft Community

Once there are mini and memory dumps we can troubleshoot them.

Please un-check automatic restart for the dumps so that you have time to view the BSOD windows.

 

I have added the files, including WhoCrashed report inside the same archive, hopefully you would get to find anything useful in between the lines, thanks for your time.

 

How did you remove all of the Windows error reporting?

 

Is there any missing reports?, the only thing i ran after installing a couple of apps was CCleaner, maybe it deleted some stuff?, I also have a couple of local group polices enabled, that could stop sending reports to MS. Would be great if you could elaborate on how to generate the missing file(s), thanks a bunch *Smile.

 

Please open Ccleaner > windows tab > system > post an image into the thread (if you can please include the advanced section in the same view)

 

Okay, will do that when i get back home, anyway, what exactly are you looking for?, is there like a specific report or something that you need to check?.

 

It appears that the settings that you had in Ccleaner have deleted the files needed for troubleshooting:
mini dump, memory dump, windows error reporting etc.
So please make an image so that we know what the settings were.
