I've been having issues with my newly built PC since shortly after i built it. Nearly all have been solved, but new ones keep cropping up. For instance, my computer will never used to have any problems with resuming from sleep (sfter I changed BIOS to S#, that is.) Now, whenever I resume from sleep, the PC works fine...until I try to do something. As soon as I open an app, like Firefox, for example, BOOM! BSOD. And I mean every time, 100% reliablility. I've run every Memory diagnostic I can find, except for MemTest 86, which never seems to work. Is it not compatible with 64-bit systems? If so, is there a compatible version? I've tried it on CD and Floppy; neither works. During boot, it just cycles saying to insert a boot-compatible disc or restart. And yes, i made sure to tell it to boot from the proper device, and even disabled the boot from HDD. I've tried simply pulling three of the sticks and only running 1GB at a time, but then I never get any faults. I really can't think of anything else to do. I'm all but positive it's the memory now, but I have no way to find out which stick(s) it is
And here's another curious thing happening since this started. Whenever I restart my computer, it doesn't really restart like normal, where the PC continues to run and Windows just resets. Instead, the whole thing shuts down, PC and all, for a few seconds, then powers on again. What it going on?
