Memory Management problem

Ran OK yesterday with plenty of YouTube, Battlefied games and internet browsing. Then when I went to shut down windows for the nigh I suddenly get this blue screen.

I have noticed the operating system taking a long time to boot up. Also got an Email about Google Profiles being done away with. I have two other laptops sharing data and I wonder if this has something to do with the problem.

One way to determine if it's hardware or software is to do apply a system restore point that has a date prior to the issue 1st occuring.

If the issue goes away.....it's software.

I suspect a recent driver update, Windows update, or software install.

Worth a shot and doesn't cost anything

I am suspecting the problem may be stray noise on the electical power lines. I notice this occurred a while ago while my heater was running. One other thing to note that sometimes if I leave the room and come back in a static discharge from touching my mouse or headset will cause the audio in BF4 to go out. Have to reboot computer to get sound back. Going to blow out my power supply next.

Does this issue only happen upon shutting down the pc? does it happen any time other than shutting down the pc?
 
Ive seen it happen while closing a tab in Chrome. But I suspect the browser was writing to hard drive while the heater was running next door.
 
Hi gunny, Memtest its more specific . (aida64 memory benchmark , u can try prime95 or intel xtu too) . If youre using a overclock, load BIOS at Optimal Default Settings.

I re-installed my old graphics card and I just saw the blue screen again. I did remove two of the unnessesary hard drives and that didnt fix the problem. Will try running on single ram sticks next to see if that the problem. If they fail will will go and order a new motherboard.

Did you try an earlier restore point, thats prior to this issue starting, to see if the issue goes away?

Have not tried that BikerDog. DOnt know if my system has been keeping restore points. I did hook up an old hard drive that had WIndows 7 on it and it ran ok for several hours. What usually happens when I get that Blue screen fault is after I had issued a shut down or when i close a tab in Chrome browser. I have a Paragon hard disk manager coming in and next thing I will do is make a clone of the operating system onto my spare SSD drive.
 
So to wrap this up, I figured out the problem was with my old Hard Drive that had the operating system on it. When I was on Facebook or closing a tab in my browser I would sometimes get the blue screen of death. I'm thinking it had to do with cookies being stored on C: drive. May have been sectors on disk. Very old hard drive with 80 gig on it.

So I purchased the Paragon hard disk manager and cloned the op system to my spare SSD drive. Took about 30 minutes and after rebooting and re directing the new drive for boot up in BIOS everything seems ok now. Boots up fast now.

Just purchased another 120 gig SSD drive from Tiger Direct for $20. Just as another back up in case I need it.
 
Kudos man, be careful with SSD's though, they give out without warning, at least from what i had ScanDisk and it gave out after 2 years, have a slave drive to back up important stuff, you wont regret it.
 
A High end Video Card is not enough so your system is most likely bottle necking at the memory. No matter how fast or expensive your video card is, it will only perform it's task leaving the rest of the task to the CPU and RAM. If either of them can't keep up then everything slows down to the slowest component. Gamers usually prefer to start with 16GB memory. What are your specs?
 
I hear you Viper. I've heard both ways about the SSDs going dead after awhile. My EA games are on one, but no sweat there as I can just get another drive and redownload the games.

Strange thing about the cloning process. The new SSD had 120 gig on it. My system saw it as having only 111 gig before the cloning process. Now I see only 80 gig, same as the bad hard drive had on it.
 
My recommendation in order to avoid the wearing of the ssd

Start Services.msc, from the win+r

Disable superfetch services
Disable search services

Both services makes alotta writes on the ssd, and that make them died before time

Other stuff to make em last long, is to disable or change the pagefile to another disk, to avoid again the unnecessary write on the ssd

Cheers
