Run memtest for 12 to 16 hours. You will need to download the ISO and then mount it to a CD. Then make your machine boot off the burnt CD to run memtest.

http://www.memtest.org/

Free burning program that will mount the image to disk.

Any errors at all, even one means something is wrong with what you have.

Download this free tool called Speccy from here.
http://filehippo.com/download_speccy/download/e2178c61e4d1d6d5b876f2a3cf32204d/
Install it, click on the "RAM" section and post a screenshot of the RAM section.
Further advice can be given after that.

What exactly is Speccy going to tell you that he has not listed already? He has 16GB of DDR3 2133 cas 11. Brand does not matter although it's most likely Corsair or GSkill. If he's getting memory errors it needs to be tested. The only way to effectively test it all is with memtest.

I want to make sure he has enough pagefile allocation.

I want to make sure he has enough pagefile allocation.

16GB of RAM and even with 8GB you can turn the pagefile off completely or just set it to 400MB as off can confuse a few programs. Since he has a Samsung SSD the Samsung tools that came with it should have that all set up.

 

[Rit_86]

I would beg to differ. Recently I solved a few problems (in this forum) with systems which had large memory (yes, even upto 16 gb) and yet had memory problems just because they had too little pagefile allocation. After they corrected that, their systems are running just fine.
Anyway, before taking on a 16 hour test or checking the hardware, isn't it always better to check little software settings? It may get resolved pretty fast if it is a simple pagefile allocation problem.
I agree that it may be a RAM problem (unusual in a new system), but I just want to make sure it isn't anything else.

 

[Rit_86]

Anyway, to Tyler, instead of beating around the bush, check whether your system has a large enough pagefile allocation. It should be atleast equal to your total memory size.
Here's how to do it step by step
Go to Control Panel -> System -> Advanced System Setting (in the left pane) -> Click the "advanced" tab -> You will see a performance section, where you must click the "settings" tab -> Choose the "advanced" tab -> you will see a "virtual memory" option where you must select the "change" tab -> Choose the first option saying "Automatically manage paging file....." ->click "apply" -> reboot.
See if your problem is solved.

He has an SSD as his C: drive. The pagefile should be off or set to system managed minimum. OS optimization for an SSD 101.

And I beg to differ that RAM problems are unusual in a new system. In my 20+ years working with computers I have never, not even once seen tested, known to be working RAM just go bad. I have had however many cases of finding a bad stick when doing new builds. The only other reason you see errors like this is a bad power supply.

I did the memtest passed with flying colors

I had irregular bsod and each time the code is different till I changed every parts one by one, I realized that actually the problem is the motherboard, it's already semi faulty. how old is your motherboard ? also I was told that driver is one of the issues also. so just test out and see if u have more bsod?

 

[Deleted member 217926]

You did at least a 12 hour run of memtest with no errors? 12 hours is really only enough to fully test 8GB but any errors bad enough to cause blue screens should have showed up.

Power supply make and model?
