Windows 10: Memory and other hardware issues...

Windows 10 Pro, 64-bit, version 2004 (OS Build 19041.630)...

I haven't been dealing with hardware issues for long time, kind of rusty, could use some help...

Couple of weeks ego, the system started to throw BSODs and the issue was related to "MEMORY_MANEGEMENT". A quick run of the MemTest86 showed, that the test failed. Here are the results:





In total, there are 63 errors. Getting new memory to address this issue. Interestingly, during this week, the BSODs did not return.

On the other hand, different problems started to show. For example, the system would have the Outlook ('13) open, writing an email locks up Outlook, then the system goes down hard. There's no BSOD, the system just stops, like when you loose the power and you have no UPS. System booted up with no problems, didn't even complain, but the new email was lost.

Checking the CPU, MB, drives, etc., temperatures show normal temperature accross the board:





The ambient temperature is 68 - 70 degree Fahrenheit...
The last two or three days, the system runs just fine, no issues whatsoever. That's not a guarantee, that the issue"s" won't return.

On the same system, new version of W10 Pro, 64-bit was installed, v2004/2H, on a different SSD. Nothing fancy, just pretty much default installation no additional software installed. The new installation also had a BSOD, but did not notice the exact cause, but had not been related to memory management. This installation is also running fine now.

Any idea what can cause the occasional BSODs and the system shutting itself off without warning?

AMD FX OC'ers Club

That's what the auto setting will do since you're over the 1333 mark it jumps to the next step which isn't listed or officially supported I assume by that ram.

At this point though I would suggest dropping the multi one step or .5 so that we can get something stable and possibly take the heat issue out of the picture for now.

 

Optical Drive Issue

Hello Anak –

Appreciate your detailed return. Your added steps really helped.

Assuming I did the steps correctly, this is where I am now.

Screenshot 12 shows my CD Disc shortcut on my desktop.
Screenshot 10 shows the CD Drive shortcut listed in the “Send to” listing.
Screenshot 11 shows the “Send to” listing after the steps were taken, but the CD drive name is not listed.

So, it appears the steps did not work for me. And, I did try the steps, “If it still won’t do ……” and still no luck.

What do you think?
