Hello guys,
I have a asus p5kc motherboard and 2 4gb Kingston hyperx 1600 mhz rams 3 days ago my pc started to give blue screen errors as memory managements and other errors about ram problem and when i used windows diagnostic tool it said my hardware has problems i didnt do a full memtest like an hour i did just half an hour tests with both ram and no errors but today when i tested my rams one by one one of them didnt even give vision to the screen so i said this is the bad ram but when i use the other ram it booted however crashes continues application crashes and blue screens continues did my rams died or motherboard issues ??

Sounds more like your motherboard than your RAM. Either way, it's going to be hard to pinpoint the exact cause. If yuo have a buddy, you can run Memtest in hsi system on your RAM.. about the only solution I can think of.

Use memtest86. fot at least 8 passes for each memory module in at least two different slots. And then post the results if there is any errors. A half an hour pass, which I guess is not even a full pass, is no good.

I did chkdsk earlier today isnt it enough ? And by the way i have another hss connected but i chkdsked the main drive only could the second hdd cause error. But i must say i get these errors before too before the second hdd and when i remove and reconnect the rams it resolved before, this time reconnecting didnt work thats the reason i didnt think about hdd

Wow how couldnt i think that thank you tomorrow i'll disconnect my main hdd and install windows to other hdd maybe i'll try to boot ubuntu from cd to see if it can work well too before windows installation i actually hope it is a hdd error because i have spare hdd :) thank you

edit: i remembered this is it possible that the other rams problem might be hdd related ? Because i cant get any vision with my other 4gb ram ?

sort out one problem at a time. It may well be that "something" happened and one stick of RAM is also Damaged.

Get one of the Llinux versions that boot from CD - Mint, or Zorin see if that works on the one stick we're thinking is good.

ALso there is a utilities disk called "Hirens Boot CD" http://www.hiren.info/pages/bootcd that has lots of tools to analyze and repair b0rked PCs.

For this you may want to use HDAT or VivaRD from the CD

Or use MiniXP with CMD.

HDAT will do an NTFS check, amongst tons of other Read/Write tests/repairs. It also has a good SMART Attribute DATA viewer.

So I did a hdd error scan with hd tune 2.55 from Hirens bootCD ( I couldnt find HDAT or VivaRD) and the result was perfect it didnt have any error here is the screenshot:

so i am going to format c and clean install windows than hope it will work fine :)
If the system errors will be over than we can say it was a ram error i guess.
By the way i must ask this could it be power supply error because i had 2 hdds and 2 graphics card (radeon hd 6850 and nvidia 7700 gtx for dual monitoring) and a 700 watt power supply

I don't know that a PSU issue would appear in the manner you describe, but check the specifications of your graphics cards for power draw. Check to see if you find reviews of your PSU that indicate if it is a good make that can deliver the rated wattage. I've read of some low-end PSUs that can barely deliver 50% of what they are rated as.

Did you get any utility to review the S.M.A .R.T data from the hard drives?
