Drewhop Posted March 20, 2012 Report Share Posted March 20, 2012 I am getting a BSOD on a computer game. I setup computer to grab a .DMP file so I could look it over.. These are the two causes of the blue screens. kbdhid.sys - This usually refers to a USB keyboard driver. I have a G15 Gaming keyboard with the most up to date drivers. ntoskrnl.exe This I have no idea. I have about 10 .dmp files and could post them up later if anyone knows a thing or two about them. Using Windows Vista Ultimate. If you need anymore info let me know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drewhop Posted March 20, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 20, 2012 Vista was free. So I am getting what I paid for. The problem however seems to only happen while playing one certain game. The message were for those errors listed. One other DMP file also stated Page fault error. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrs.cos Posted March 20, 2012 Report Share Posted March 20, 2012 What Draco Said.. Take out one ram at a time, and try running the game, see if that will fix the issue. (there are free memory checkers as well out there) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orion Posted March 20, 2012 Report Share Posted March 20, 2012 Bad RAM. Most likely correct. A BSOD generally points to a hardware problem, and Kernal issues almost always revolve around RAM. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drewhop Posted March 21, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 21, 2012 Ran memtest for 2 hours. Finally got this on 3 different lines badram=0x8c843240,0xfffffffc Then three more lines with more letters/numbers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chadz89GTA Posted March 21, 2012 Report Share Posted March 21, 2012 Ran memtest for 2 hours. Finally got this on 3 different lines badram=0x8c843240,0xfffffffc Then three more lines with more letters/numbers Means you have a bad stick of ram. Try running it with one of the modules taken out and then swap them to see which stick gives you the errors. One of the memory blocks is fucked, sounds like a nice chance to upgrade your ram to A. something faster, B. more of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chadz89GTA Posted March 21, 2012 Report Share Posted March 21, 2012 The numbers/letters are an address to a certain bit/location of the memory so apparently you have a few bad spots which is why your BSOD'ing. A temp fix is to just remove the bad stick and continue on your way, but your performance will suffer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have some DDR1 sticks I could get rid of for cheap if your interested (they're actually the most expensive ram to buy anymore as there not heavily in demand).

Drewhop Posted March 21, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 21, 2012 http://www.evga.com/articles/401.asp That is my mother board Each memory slot can hold DDR2 PC2-5300, DDR2 PC2-6400, DDR2 PC2-8500 with a maximum of 4GB kit (2GBx2) per slot.* When it comes to hardware I start to get lost. Too many numbers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
