So it is either bad RAM or a bad driver. Have you run memtest on each individual stick of RAM or did you just run the Windows memory checker?
Run memtest. If you rule out bad memory then try a startup repair.

You did not mention if the error just started on it's own or after a hardware or software change.

I just Ran Windows memory checker...
im pretty sure its a driver, before this issue i would have my computer crash when it came back from sleep mode.
so i updated the driver from ATI thats when this nightmare began i would use system restore but i dont have a restore point from that time period.

sorry about the self bump im uber irritated and frustrated.
ive uninstalled the drivers, when i go to reinstall it says cannot load detection driver....

ughhh

Run memtest on your RAM. It's a pain but that will rule out one of the known causes of that error. Other than that I am thinking maybe a reformat and clean Windows install.

Any hardware changes before the errors started?

The only reason I asked about hardware changes was that comment. That is not normal and can be caused by bad RAM or even a bad video card. It also could be a power supply going bad. The error message makes me doubt that though.


a driver update was the only change that caused this mayhem...

So that is not necessarily the case.....if it was already crashing when it resumed from sleep mode.

Have you tried a program like Revo Uninstaller to get rid of the driver? I have not used it in years but it is worth a shot. If that works I would also run Driver Sweeper while still in safe mode to make sure you get all the bad registry entries.

One last thing would be to go to Start > Control Panel > System > Device Manager and uninstall the graphics card by right clicking on it.


If all that still does not work the only thing I have left to recommend to reformat C: and reinstall Windows.

If you can boot into safe mode there is no reason to lose data. Burn it to a CD/DVD or copy it to a thumb drive or external drive. Windows 7 installs are actually quite painless compared to XP and older.
A pain....yes. But nothing like a fresh install for speed and stability.

Sounding like bad memory.....one of the known causes of your orignal error.....or a bad power supply. Run memtest like I orignally recommended.

Did you run memtest on the old RAM and get errors? Does the new RAM show up in BIOS as the correct speed and timings?
